   The Branch offers the best food in Twain Harte! The owner/chef is a talent. Seven of us dined recently and there wasn’t a miss. The crab cakes, pozole, sliders. Potato rounds stood out . The lemon cheesecake was among the best I have had! The restaurant is located in a small little cottage in downtown Twain Harte. It is intimate , not many tables. We prefer to be seated on the side porch dining room away from the open kitchen and close together seating. The lighting in the porch area could be a bit warmer to enhance the ambiance a little. Overall, we are fortunate to have food of this quality in our little mountain town! Be sure to give it a try.

   Second time doing tasting menu and it did not disappoint. Everything was presented well and tasted better. Very intimate experience. Staff are very personable and attentive. We will attend the next new tasting menu.

   Food was impeccably prepared, small restaurant that allows great interactions with Chef Matt & his wonderful staff. Great recommendations on wine & beer selections. Exquisite pairings of spices and ingredients. Can’t wait to go back.
