The food and drinks at Branches are grossly overpriced. We paid £200 for two amateur starters, two bland fillet steaks with sides, and a dreadful carafe of sangria. Despite being willing to pay for great quality, the food and drinks at Branches are no better than what you would find at McDonald's. The manager's arrogance does not match the restaurant's standard of quality. If you're looking for a place to take pictures for social media, Branches has a dated fake blossom tree that would be perfect. However, if you prioritize quality of food, wine, and ambience, you should consider looking elsewhere. Overall rating: Food - 1, Service - 1, Atmosphere - 1.
I'm so glad my husband and I discovered this restaurant on vacation in Newcastle. Luckily it was right next to our hotel. The atmosphere was romantic and the interiors were very elegant. Each dish was delicious and artistically presented. Even the bread served with butter and salt with crushed peppercorns was so good. So her soup was the day. The highlight for me was the salmon and seafood dish. My husband also enjoyed his fish and chips. We even got some free fish cakes that were lovely. For a fine restaurant it was cheap. Their employees were also very attentive. We would like to come back to Newcastle next visit.
I went to the restaurant on a quiet night and loved the good vibe. The place was bright but not too bright, and the tree in the middle was impressive, despite being a bit low for most waiters. The service was excellent, with staff appearing at the right times and being calm and relaxed. The food was delicious, especially the prawns for starters. I will definitely be coming back. Overall rating: Food 5/5, Service 5/5, Atmosphere 5/5. Meal type: Dinner, Price per person: £50-60.
Couldn't fault the quality amd the of food, service, cocktails and staff. What a brilliantly-run establishment! They deserve the awards they have won so far and I'm sure there are more to come. We were here for a birthday celebration and it was made extra special by all of the above. Highly recommended. Service: Dine in Price per person: £40–50 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Belly Pork with Black Pudding and Salad, Mango Passionfruit Cheesecake
