Description

Branch Water Tavern is a great example of a uniquely American restaurant style that features a well-stocked bar and simple meat and seafood dishes that don't have French names. In many ways, the Heights-area new American tavern is a throwback to early American eateries. The menu includes oysters on the half shell, crab cakes, venison medallions, beefsteak and smoke-roasted pork chops - items that were just as common on the menus of American taverns of the 18th century.

    Unique as a modern American tavern, Branch Water's menu includes east coast specialties (seafood and fowl) with some French and Asian influences. We paired our Pinot Noir with roasted heirloom beet salad (with candied pistachio, humboldt fog goat cheese), the prosciutto and arugala rolls appetizer, the pan roasted organic chicken (market vegetables, ricotta dumplings, lemon thyme jus), and the the long island duck (with rosemary gnocchi, duck confit ragout).

  • 2010 | Best Whiskey Selection

    Branch Water Tavern has a wall of rare and expensive whiskeys behind the bar that will make any sour mash head drool. The bartenders serving your straight Kentucky, Tennessee or experimental whiskeys are knowledgeable and professional. The list of all-American bourbons reads like an erotic novel -- we suggest perusing it while sipping an eight-year-old Buffalo Trace bourbon, neat. Don't forget to try one of the house specials or infused batches they have macerating on the bar. More »
