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,...

Delicious food, great atmosphere, amazing service! Xavier was so kind and attentive, bringing us all free refills on our drinks without us asking :) super accommodating with making substitutions and adjustments to menu items, which not all places are! Highly recommend ⭐️
