The Branch

Great cozy spot to grab a bite. The food was very good, definitely had the home made taste. The staff were really kind, and the outdoor seating is dog friendly

Magic in the kitchen. Great high quality and interesting dishes. Not open every day so check in advance. It's worth it!

The food here, every-single-course was amazing. It's my new favorite restaurant. The place itself is small and a bit quirky so if you're looking for high-end elegance this isn't the place. I personally loved the ambiance. Feels more authentic and part of the experience dining in an old renovated (what I guess was) a residential cottage. The main room I'm guessing was the living room/kitchen which is split in half to be a kitchen you can see them working in and maybe 5 tables. The second smaller room was either a bedroom or old front porch that was framed in. It's very small so you probably want reservations as I assume the limited seating fills up fast. Would highly recommend. The food was fantastic, the chef was friendly and it's obvious he takes pride in what he does.

This restaurant ruined my week in Twain Harte. My husband and I ate there first before any other restaurant. It was so fantastic-everything we ate was phenomenal from the salmon to the shrimp to the 3 desserts we couldn’t help but order just try them all. After that, anything from any other restaurant we ate at was meh at best even tho prices were almost the same. My compliments to the chef and his staff for an experience that will become a tradition we won’t overlook every year. (No photos because it was hard to snap photos when our eyes were rolled back in our heads.)

To say the food was great is an understatement. We absolutely love eating here for the pop up dining experiences. We brought our 8 and 9 year old to the last one and they enjoyed every dish we ordered. The tacos are definitely our favorite. Looking forward to our next family outing at the Branch!

After having visited (and loving) the Branch at their restaurant location a few times, my husband and I decided to book them for our wedding in September. The whole team was a pleasure to work with, and they were very accommodating of dietary preferences/ needs of us and our guests. The menu they designed was absolutely delicious, with many options and ways to customize the dishes. We received so many compliments from our guests about the food and were very happy with everything they made. Highly recommend!

We recently visited from out of state and our dinner was absolutely AMAZING!! My parents are Twain Harte locals and always rave about the Branch. We were completely blown away at how phenomenal every dish was, and our waiter Gio, was the sweetest (We literally ordered so much food 🤣🤣). Twain Harte is lucky to have you guys!! We’ll definitely be back!

Booking a reservation online was easy and straight forward. My partner and I elected to do the menu tasting, and while expensive, neither of us regretted it in the slightest. The dishes were unique, and it felt like clean eating. The food items were brought to us at the perfect pace, allowing just enough time to finish each dish, digest it a little and reflect on how delicious each one was before the next item came to our table. I have been a Tuolumne resident for 10 years, and I can't remember a time where I have had a higher quality meal in this County than the one we had at The Branch. It truly stood out as it's own experience and is a must-try for locals and tourists alike. The service was fantastic as well. My girlfriend and I are both genuinely looking forward to our next opportunity to eat here.

The team catered my reception at an airbnb and it went so perfectly! The food was amazing and they were on time, had everything ready to go. We flew from across the country to get married in Yosemite and I had no worries day of because they were so on point getting everything in order.

Best food ever and service is awesome. The owner is nice and friendly and like I said the food is to die for….

If I could give 10 stars I would!! We hired The Branch to cater for our Wedding Reception and Rehearsal dinner in Pinecrest. Their food was one of the top highlights of our wedding weekend!! We had been to The Branch location in Twain Harte and enjoyed their amazing food before deciding to hire them for catering. Matt and his wife Stephanie are amazing people and created the most incredible food and experience for our wedding weekend. I worked with Matt and Stephanie to develop a menu for each night. They made it very easy and they were so flexible and helpful in the process. We enjoyed working with them so much and all of our guests raved about the food each night! We HIGHLY recommend The Branch whether you need catering or just a bite to eat in Twain Harte, their food and service is outstanding!

We had a party of 4 and all did the tasting menu. Phenomenal food, awesome staff and an amazing experience! Absolutely recommend.

Stopped off for dessert. Call first. Not open on regular schedule (5/2024). Catering, tasting/pairing events, constantly changing menus of well prepared, quality foods, party reservations. Chef Matt's wife is excellent baker! Get on email list via website.

We ordered a sampling of items off the menu and everything was stellar! The tri-tip was succulent perfectly smoked and the steak sand was spot on! The steak tacos were just the best! Don’t hesitate going…we’re so blessed to have this restaurant in our County! Nice work Guys! ❤️

My husband and I were in town visiting Yosemite and unexpectedly were able to get a last minute reservation to the chef's tasting dinner. WOW. So happy we went and couldn't be more excited to return. From the charming atmosphere, to the fresh delicious food, and the warm and friendly staff. This place is a homerun. Keep it up, The Branch!

Amazing! The chef/owner has almost two decades of experience in San Francisco and it shows .... great quality... simplest ingredients, yet combined cause your Taste buds to wake up! ❤️❤️😄 in other words... YUMMY 😋
