Review of Branch Line

Be careful here. A friend who is also celiac has eaten here several times with no issue and is more sensitive than I am. However, none of the gluten free options are marked on the menu, so you need to discuss options with the server. Like others have said, I was told almost everything is gluten free with the exception of bread items and fried items. The fryer is not dedicated gf as someone else claimed. We were told the mac and cheese was gf without breadcrumbs and asked to verify they could make it with gf pasta. Server checked with the kitchen and said, yes its gf, its made with semolina. Well thats not gluten free. Asked to verify again and we would take it if it could be made gf. It came out and looked like no gf pasta I've ever used. New server, maybe manager, said no way its gf and took it off the bill. That was nice and my non-celiac friend said it was fantastic. I had the buratta and fig which was good and a bowl of soup that was super salty. They said the chicken was gluten free, but kept saying how much butter is used. Honestly, when the kitchen and server both claim semolina is gluten free, I don't really trust anything they put out. The staff apologized and gave us some sorbet at the end, but it's not a place I'd go back to. They did have a good cider on tap and cool atmosphere. I'll give 2 stars since there appears to be some options and its a nice looking place, but hard to trust as a celiac.
