Restaurants near Calaveras Big Trees State Park

We had a great experience. Food was delicious and our server was great.

FANTASTIC EVERYTHING! First time attending this restaurant with friends last night. STAFF: Greeted promptly and sat at a booth that felt like a little cave, great ambiance. Lovely music by two Fiddle players. The waitress was friendly and very attentive, we were all given fairy flower crowns made the experience so much fun. FOOD: Menu is extensive so we asked for choices between two of each dish, she gladly gave her opinion and she was right, we had the 4 tapas appetizer, Vegetarian Pastie, Braised short ribs, Portabella mushroom and Shepperds pie pastie portions were very good and all dishes were deeeeelious!. Desert was the key lime pie and peanut butter cake both yummy, not too sweet, just perfect. DRINKS: Not on the online menu but they had some awesome specialty drinks, had the Leprechaun ones a the mead flights and all were great. COST: $240 total for 4 meals, drinks, appetizers, main course, dessert and a great magical time worth very penny. Can't wait to go again and bring more of our friends to enjoy this wonderful restaurant. Thank you! :)

We have been wanting to try the Branch for a while and finally had the opportunity to do so. We kept hearing positive things and wanted to see for ourselves. They did not disappoint! From being greeted when walking in, to the service throughout our dinner, it was amazing. But the best of all was the food. I am not sure what Matt does to prepare his dishes better than anyone else, but he does it! Our food was amazing! With the closeness of the tables, we were able to speak and compare with others and we all said the same thing. It did not matter what people ordered for dinner, they were all completely satisfied. We will definitely be back as often as possible!

The food and atmosphere was great. I split a salad with my friend and even the split salad was a good size. The service was friendly, personable, and professional. I’ve been here several times before and it’s always been a great experience. I will be back!

Very nice dinner, early so rather noisy with children. Server was very smart and held off to place the entrée order since my salad was large, ended up more than I could finish. Saved me money and I really appreciated the attention to detail. Thank you
