So sad what “they” did to this bar. Changed the seating around. Much much worse…what’s the point? Ruined it for many of us regulars. A real shame as food is good and staff are great. Not sure I will go again.

Longbranch is a special treat. It’s survival through COVID is a testament to it’s staying power. Terrific staff. The kitchen is under new leadership that is making an impact on the dining experience ably assisted by a strong mixology team at the bar who delivered fantastic cocktails. Don’t miss their classic “Remember the Maine.” OMG it’s good..

On vacation, I wanted somewhere good where I didn't have to worry about finding the one good item on the menu. They certainly delivered. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Atmosphere is nice but it can be loud. Quality cocktails and creative dishes. Love the fried olives. And their salad with pickled apples and blue cheese was crazy good.

One of my favorite places to go!!! Best before it's late, or in the old days was best ~10-11pm. Great place to get some drinks, or get some food, or just hang out! The vibe is great, and service is always super helpful.

Carla was so helpful, we planned for a larger party than ended up being due to COVID and they were flexible and understanding. We got family style dinner for a group of 11 and it worked perfectly! They even made the vegetarian dish gluten free to meet some of the group's dietary restrictions!

This saloon has a nice atmosphere - the restaurant is made of a number of dining areas with small to mid-size tables. It's comfortably lit. The waitstaff is attentive and friendly.I liked the food well enough, it's like what you get at home if you care about cooking. It is a bit noisy inside but that's okay on a small table. The meat was good, nice juicy, falling-off-the-bone ribs and crispy but moist chicken.I deduct a point for the kind of boring deserts. A bit dry and a bit lacking in taste. They were only saved by the sauce. But since for our larger group the meal was served to share it was hard to share the sauce. The same was true for the chicken au-jus. One would have to spoon the sauce off the shared plate stunning the co-eaters. A waste.Parking: There's a parking lot in the back, and street parking is good.

We have been here many times before, and will be back for more! The staff is so friendly and helpful. ☺️ The food is soooo good, it taste so clean! But with so much flavor! ? The cocktails, oh my goodness soo creative and yummy, hard to just have one! I had the grilled shrimp entree, definitely recommend if you want some light but also tasty and fulfilling ✨ the grilled chicken sandwich is a must try!! Can't go wrong with the little gem lettuce and hand cut fries oh and desert is a must have! Especially the mason jar brownie ??

Great food. Cute atmosphere. Mediocre service, at best. Waitress never checked on us once, forgot an order. Bah! But the food was, in fact, very tasty. On the fence if I would return. Worth a shot to see if it was just an off day, perhaps. Got the ribs, which were great, with a couple sides... tasty!

Great food in a chill local laid back vibe. You can dine in the bar, patio, or dining room. The menu is inclusive but simple. The food is old and feels local and fresh. The cocktails are well prepared (Rosemary Negroni for the win). Plus the staff is willing to talk through any dish and is super friendly.

Drink menu = absolutely yes Dinner menu = absolutely yes Service = amazing Desserts = so much yum Highly recommend! I come here often for drinks and appetizers with friends! Which eventually leads to more drinks and heartier foods, all of which rarely disappoint. Black is beautiful is *chef's kiss*
