Branch House Riverfront Bistro

About 25 of us ladies met at Branch House this evening. The food and drinks were excellent! I loved the outdoor patio ambiance, along with the heater and ceiling fan availability. The service was also great! You order at the counter, but we still had someone stopping by to check on us and they even did two little ice cream scoops so we could sing happy birthday to two of the ladies! We ended up staying from 5:30-8pm and could have easily stayed longer! This is right in front of the Turtle Bay entrance and front of the Sundial Bridge, so the only true downfall is how far the parking is from the entrance. However, there is a little roundabout you can drive and drop people off if need be. Not a huge deal (and it’s not super far), but something to note if you’re unaware of the area. Definitely check it out! It’s worth it!

Hot new spot by the cool river. Have been twice, once for wine and snacks - pabill tacos were tasty. Second time, am coffee. BEST cappuccino in the world! (Or so it seemed in the moment - might have been skewed by Madison and Mariah witty banter and attentive service. Check it out!

What a pretty place and cool gift shop. I love the outside patio that welcomes dogs (since mine travel to competitions all over -- so dog-friendly is a must).

Can't wait until our travels take us back this way.

Quick Summary
New Sheraton restaurant that is right next to the Sundial Bridge. Food was pretty good, but I assume the low rating is because of the very long wait (as they work out the kinks). They have plenty of games, people watching, and the Sundial Bridge to make your wait more bearable

Food- 4 stars
Blackberry beet salad- this was pretty good. Ingredients were fresh and tasted farm-to-table

Tacos pibil- pretty good as well. The meat was a bit dry, but balanced well with the pickled onions

Short Rib wrap- similar to the taco. Lots of flavor but the short rib was a bit dry. Having some extra aioli on the side really helped

Service- 3 stars
The servers were all very nice and accommodating. It just took a long time for food (the line moved pretty slowly) and about 25 minutes for our food to arrive. Although there's plenty of attractions to make the wait more bearable

Ambiance- 5 stars
Plenty of entertainment in this fast casual restaurant. They have cornhole, shuffleboard, a gift shop, checkers (haven't even mentioned the people watching and Sundial Bridge).

Bottom Line
Fast casual (almost cafe) style restaurant right next to the Sundial Bridge. I wouldn't go out of my way to try it, but it's a great spot for lunch or dinner due to its location and ambiance

Unique for Redding. Creative and delicious food. They are new and were out of some items we wanted. Service was good. Thank you Autumn: a great server! The view and outside dining is good. Will return.
