Went there to have dinner with a friend visiting the city. Ambience of the place is usually great and that didn't disappoint. The starter was good, rest of the main course were ok-ish but the Kung Pao Chicken was particularly inedible. Overall it seems the food quality has gone down quite a bit.

Wow, after a wonderful experience with the staff and Bobby who was so friendly and accommodating; I can't believe this was my first summer lunch there. Major regrets on my part and looking forward to going there again next week. Our food was delicious, right amount of sauce on the wraps and tater tots were Excellent!! The snickers dessert an absolute treat. I hope we're lucky again to get Bobby.

We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience at South Branch! They seated us at a nice booth overlooking the Chicago river. Our servers were spectacularly friendly, attentive, helpful & efficient! The Ahi tuna was absolutely fantastic. This wasn't the first time here and it will definitely not be the last! The only thing we regret is not paying more attention to our server's name. Thank you South Branch & kudos to our server.
