South Branch Tavern & Grille (The Loop - Chicago)

Food was perfect and delicious. Wait staff extremely attentive without being in our face constantly

Food and service are solid, but not outstanding. Salads came without dressing and entree decent. This is the second time I have dined here this month for business.

We were seated by the host outside. We sat for 25mins without being greeted or getting waters. Bartender was making eye contact and tended to one table but not us. The server on shift went to the tables on each side of side and never stoped at our table. It was NOT busy. Only a handful of tables! Never coming back.

The food was very good, and the waitstaff was quite helpful and friendly. The food service speed was timely for a few of the orders, but very slow for our other person that came near a big rush. Still, not a fan of the 3% surcharge, which was ONLY for the Covid season (which has past). But I would come again.

Met up with some colleagues to talk business opportunities. Convenient location for our offices and to commute home. Had some drinks and appetizers which were good, and the service is good. Depending on the crowd, it can get a little noisy, but sitting at a booth we didn't have to shout.

I recommend South Branch to a friend for its close proximity to transit in downtown Chicago. I've been there several times before, but not in recent years. The food came out super quick. Even the waitress was surprised. I was disappointed the food wasn't very flavorful & tacos came with flour tortillas instead of corn. The cocktails were watered down. Service was excellent & ambiance is great... Best when you can sit outdoors on the Chicago River. Overall, you can't beat the location. I'm just disappointed that the food/drinks were not better for the price paid in downtown Chicago.

South Branch is great and our server Amberly was wonderful!
