    Hadn't been to Branch Line since before the pandemic but it was as good as I remembered it had been. Good service, tasty food, nice sized portions, energetic crowd...what else can I say? We'll be back next time we're in the neighborhood and will actually order less food since the portions of salads and sides are quite large.

    Easy seating, super attentive staff. A little tricky to find because it is IN the hotel, which isn't clear from the Open Table site. It was also incredibly dark. My husband is legally blind and it was impossible for him to read the menu and a bit of a challenge for him to see the food. I noticed other diners using the flashlights on their phones to read the menu. I know dark can be trendy, but it actually limited him significantly and if he had been alone he would have left or needed the staff to read the menu to him. I feel like that is excessive.

    This was my second visit to City Streets and we plan on returning with friends. The food was excellent. We shared arancini, then I enjoyed the chicken piccata, while my husband had fish and chips. My daughter enjoyed the shrimp tempura bowl. The restaurant staff is friendly, helpful and very capable. Since there are lots of hard surfaces, the room gets a bit noisy but not as much as other places we have visited. All in all, we are delighted to have discovered City Streets and plan to return many times. We recommend it highly
