  “Excellent service and food, been several times BUT the vegetarian options have NEVER changed in over 5 years. Can almost predict it will be either risotto or the pasta on the menu, and same flavours too. Please can you offer more options as I would genuinely come more frequently if you did, but if I came each month, it would literally be just these two options. Why??!! I am writing alot with the hope you would consider this seriously. Mentioned it before and it has never changed!”

  “Second time in a year coming to Newcastle and this was my second trip to Branches. Had to come back here after my first trip. Everything here is delicious! This time I started with the bread and olives. The bread was so soft and fluffy and spot on. Then I had the soup of the day which was tomato and red pepper. I am not a fan of just tomato soup so this one with the red peppers was fabulous! The red peppers add just the right amount of sweetness to the tomato. For main I had the seafood linguine. It had a mix of fish and salmon and prawns and mussels in a creamy sauce. The pasta is fresh made and was cooked to perfection! Unfortunately I had no room for dessert! I am a very picky eater and don’t like overly fragrant spices and everything here was perfect. Can’t wait for my next trip back to Newcastle so I can come here again!”

  “Visited Branches for Sunday dinner. The food was very good and the setting is lovely, but the service completely let it down. Our waitress was rude and dismissive throughout. A simple request to swap potatoes for chips was treated like a problem and came with an excessive extra charge. We also ordered three sides but were brought two, told we had only ordered two, and despite raising it, were still charged for all three. For a restaurant at this price point, the service is unacceptable. Good food can’t make up for poor attitude and being charged for items we didn’t order. I wouldn’t return.”

  “Food is absolutely amazing, we ordered from the A la carte menu. It was for a special birthday so they gave us a nice table just under the tree. Service was 1st class too from taking our coats to serving the food. Highly recommended”

  “We had an excellent dining experience at Branches in Newcastle. The food was outstanding, and the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. We opted for the pre-fix three-course menu, which was both delicious and well-balanced. Maria took great care of us and provided exceptional service with her warm and professional attitude. This restaurant is definitely a must-visit! Perfect for a cozy dinner for two or any special occasion. Highly recommended!”

  “From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was absolutely enchanting. Dining under the beautiful cherry blossom tree created such a relaxing and elegant atmosphere. The service was truly outstanding—every staff member, including the manager, went above and beyond. A special shoutout to our lovely waitress, Maria, whose warm and radiant smile made our night even more special. She was incredibly attentive, enthusiastic, and so kind to my 3-year-old daughter. As for the food—simply beyond words! Every dish, from starters to mains to desserts, was a masterpiece, bursting with flavor and perfectly crafted by the talented chefs. This restaurant gave us an unforgettable evening, and I can’t wait to return. Highly recommended!”

  “This restaurant is absolutely flawless in all areas. The food and drinks are delicious, they use high quality ingredients and cook everything perfectly. The variety of drinks is great, they have the best cocktails I have ever tried. The atmosphere is lovely... You can tell that they have an amazing team behind who love and understand what they do, which is clear from the moment they open the doors to you! Definitely the best restaurant in Newcastle.”

  “Very good food. It has a Michelin feel to it, with the food decorated very nicely. As far as I am aware, it does not have a Michelin star. Service is very good. It is on the pricey side, but the food was great. As we went as a family, tried different dishes. I feel the best one was the ‘8 oz rib eye steak’. Very meaty and grilled taste. Well cooked. There was a in between dish which are rounded balls, tasted like croquettes, they were nice, but I can’t find the name. I think it was given as a special. Everything else were good but felt it was pricey. Recommended for special occasions. Don’t forget to wear smart”

  “This restaurant is absolutely stunning inside and out. They have taken pride in the appearance of the restaurant and the staff representing them. Upon arrival, we were greeted by such a lovely team who showed us to our table. Our jaws dropped when we saw how beautifully decorated the restaurant was and all we could say was “wow!”. We were then greeted by our waitress Sophie. Sophie is by far the nicest, friendliest, most enthusiastic waitress I’ve ever met in my life! She’s SO happy all the time and always made us giggle! She’s a valuable asset to your restaurant and a representation of your business in every aspect. What a bundle of joy! Thank you for your amazing hospitality Sophie and your fantastic menu recommendations (especially those fries!). The drinks were absolutely delicious, the food was so beautifully presented and tasted exquisite. The flavours were so aromatic and tasteful, the chefs are very talented and the menu choices are amazing!! The food came in a timely manner and did not disappoint. We were given some freebies as tasters in between our meals which were SO DELICIOUS and very much appreciated (lovely added touch of service). Sadly we filled up so much we couldn’t try dessert. Overall, I couldn’t recommend this restaurant enough and I will definitely be going back when I’m next in Newcastle.”
