    Wine flight
    Stephanie S.

    I love Branches! I've been a couple times now, and the environment is so great. The staff is so friendly, and it feels like being in a friend's home when you're there. They have seating options for alarge group or an intimate date night. The variety of wine options are great, and you can build your own flight to try several. I can't recommend ordering food enough. Their charcuterie is beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. Their seasonal flatbreads and sandwiches are incredible too; you can't go wrong no matter what you order.

    This is a hidden gem! What a beautiful quaint and stylish establishment. Upon entry the branches theme is beautifully highlighted and their tasty wines are on display for sale. Alicia was an absolute charm to work with. Her wine suggestions were always delicious and the food was AMAZING! I will be back! Oh and not only do they have wine they also serve bourbon!

    The ambiance is amazing. They have several high top tables. They have great service, great food, and excellent tasting wine - a triple win!! I had a Happy harvest flatbread and it was delicious. It has arugula, bacon, apples, caramelized onions, brie, and glazed pecans. I strongly suggest a wine flight - it allows you to try and figure it what you like. The Almond wine was amazing! The Malbec and Pinot noir were great too. They even have events - can't wait to visit again!!

    Great stop for a nice glass of wine and charcuterie board. I sat at the bar and read my book. It was very nice.

    Wine Pairing Event

    OMG this place is amazing! This is a small spot in Chesapeake that you must try. It's modern and clean and the people are SO personable. I've been twice...once for a wine pairing event and the second time for lunch. Both times have been wonderful. I will definitely be attending another event. Went back with my husband for lunch. He had some bourbon beverages and I had a wine flight. The pours were plentiful, where I had to leave my car and come back . The food was also delicious. My husband had a specialty sandwich with pears and I wanted to take it from him. They are in a shopping center so parking is plentiful. Definitely going back!

    We had a great time visiting this Gem in Chesapeake Marty and Andrew were very sociable and they introduced themselves warmly when we first arrived. We will definitely be coming back!

    It was such a delight trying Branches Tasting Room. What appears to be a wine shop turned out to be a neighborhood meet up that welcomed visitors. Julie the owner and her employees were personable knowledgeable and enjoyable! This was the first time In Hampton Roads I felt at home. The wine and bourbon flights were superb and the charcuterie and cheese board was delicious! This is an experience I want to keep to myself but everyone has to witness the greatness!

    They have bourbon too! Okay- that made me excited, and I didn't see anyone else mention that tidbit, so I figured I'd lead with that. I visited Branches to have a long, drawn-out visit with a friend last night before she moves away from Coastal Virginia. Branches was the perfect spot to sit and catch up. We kept the wine flowing and ordered an assortment of apps throughout the evening as well. It wasn't crowded, so we didn't feel rushed or rude for taking our time. The service was personable and friendly. I was impressed with every bit of our experience here! The happy hour special is $5 off bottles, and I think $2 off glasses of wine. It was easiest to just split a bottle and cheeseboard to start. We enjoyed everything on the cheeseboard. I always love when honey is added. There was a delightful combination of sweet, savory, salty, and some spice. Then we shared the meatballs after basically lusting over someone's meatball sub (on pretzel bread) when it came out of the kitchen. Finally, we finished with their dessert of the day, which was a chocolate temptation cake. Omg. It melted in our mouths, and I'll be craving another piece for a long time. Heavenly!! There was an assortment of couples, friends, and solo visitors throughout the evening. Only one person working for both the kitchen and I think back of the house too, but she had an excellent flow down, and we never felt ignored or forgotten. Highly impressed with Branches and won't hesitate to come back!

    a platter of meats, cheeses, and fruit

    A friend and I checked this place out for a wine date and I'm so glad I did! We both ordered our own flights and the woman that helped us noted what we each preferred in wine and customized our flights. We were both very happy with our flights and I found some standouts in my flight. We shared a charcuterie board which came with three meat options and three cheese options. It was perfect for grazing but also turned about to be a lot of food for 2 people. I ended up taking the leftovers home with me. I found everything I tried went well with my glasses of wine. The atmosphere inside is really chill and comfortable. The only thing that I would note is that it took some time to get our initial order in and a couple reminders for glasses of water. Overall, it was a good experience and I'd love to return when there's live music and to try out some of the dessert options.

    Cute little wine bar with a great selection of beer, cider, and wine. They have a great menu of small bites as well - flatbreads, sandwiches, dips, cheese & meat charcuterie. Came in to get some work done and enjoy a glass of wine while I waited for my daughter's 2 hour dance class to finish. Ended up getting a fig & pig flatbread and a bottle of red-there was too great of a special to only get one glass. I was able to bag up the rest of the wine bottle and bring it home. The flatbread was AMAZING! Had the right balance of fig balsamic to prosciutto. The arugula gave it a great peppery finish. There was only one person running the shop and she handled the 7 tables that came through flawlessly. It was good that it was staggered enough for her to assist. Great little happy hour spot definitely will return with some friends - but going solo works too!

Entry is located just off the main lobby, bar seating, indoor and outdoor with water view as well.

For the mains we grabbed a New Yorker Pizza, bolognese and the truffle (longest name ever) pasta in which we added scallops. All were a hit.

    This place surprised me! The pictures on Yelp did not do it justice…read more We got there 10 minutes before happy hour ended so we were able to squeeze in $7 strawberry mojito and $9 ceviche Mahi Mahi. The mojito was great. Not too sweet and you can taste the mint. My husband got the Oaxaca old fashion which he said was good. The ceviche's presentation looked disappointing but the flavors made up for it. The sauce was very flavorful and complimented the mahi mahi very well. My husband said it was the best ceviche he's ever had For entrees I got the 10 oz picanha. They actually give you two pieces of steak and I took the other one home. It was cooked perfectly to a medium rare with great smokiness. The green beans were a little salty. The yuca was good. My husband liked the filet but I think the picanha was better. Out of all the sauces we chose the chimichurri sauce which complimented the steaks very well. Service was really quick and attentive.

    They take reservations! Yay!…read more This place has plenty of parking which is nice. We had never tried this place before so I didn't know what to expect. I ordered the picanha tacos with rice. It was delicious! I wish the tacos had some kind of sauce on top, maybe like a chimichurri sauce? The service was pretty good. The inside set up is a bit wonky and sometimes the sun comes in through the windows blinding you. We had to move tables. I'd go back!

    Cooper's Hawk has become one of those places that somehow fits every version of a night out -- date…read morenight with my husband, wine with longtime friends, or bringing along my grandmother, aunt, or mother and turning dinner into a whole family affair. The wine tasting is still my favorite part of the Cooper's Hawk experience. It never fails me. And Nightjar? That one has my heart. The brandy gives it just enough attitude to remind you that you are, in fact, an adult with excellent taste and nowhere important to be afterward. Once the tasting is over, we usually migrate to the bar, and that menu has quietly collected some serious favorites over the years. My longtime love has always been the shrimp and scallop risotto. The risotto itself is still consistently creamy, rich, and beautifully done. Unfortunately, the seafood portion just isn't what it used to be. The scallops seem to have entered witness protection, and the shrimp are often tiny and a little overcooked. At this point, it sometimes feels like a gorgeous bowl of risotto waiting for its seafood to come home. Maybe toss a little crab in there and restore some dignity to the situation? Just a thought. Thankfully, there are plenty of other winners. The burger is easily a 10/10 for me. The chicken piccata completely surprised me because I am not usually a big piccata person, but Cooper's Hawk somehow won me over. The Parmesan-crusted chicken is simple, familiar, and absolutely phenomenal. The green beans are always tender, the mashed potatoes are divine, and the quesadilla on the bar menu deserves far more attention than a quesadilla has any business demanding. Dessert and I have not spent nearly enough time together here, but I did try the chocolate mousse dessert, and yes -- she was worth meeting. The atmosphere is elegant without feeling stuffy. Depending on how lively the locals are around the bar, it can get a little loud, but that is honestly part of the charm. It always feels warm and welcoming, and somehow I manage to meet new people, make new friends, and then find myself back there celebrating with them later. That may be my favorite thing about Cooper's Hawk. I originally came for the wine and food, but over the years it has become a place tied to people, birthdays, family dinners, friendships, and plenty of "one more tasting and then we'll go" lies. The wine keeps me coming back. The food gives me plenty to love. And the memories make the reservation worth it every time.

    I can't wait for ours in Indian Land to open because tonight's dining was a WONDERFUL experience…read more While in town visiting family for the Labor Day weekend, they suggested this spot. Hubby and I were thrilled because one is opening near our home outside of Charlotte, NC. Make reservations! This place was packed and we quickly figured out why. Everything is so good. We didn't quite figure out the "lay of the land" but there appeared to be a designated place for tasting that was packed. We enjoyed looking at the "wine toys" while we waited for our table. There are sooooo many unique things that I can't wait to purchase from a location closer to us when it opens; traveling with glass didn't seem too smart. Our server was great and I wish I knew her name to shout her out. Ask to sample any wine you're curious about. And let me say... the sampling pours are more than just a sip. I was astonished! I chose the red flight as rendered. Everything was good. I'm not a fan of Spanish reds and should have substituted that one. Next time! They are so conscientious about food allergies and preferences that you can customize everything (except the jambalaya). I already knew before arriving (because I look at menus ahead of time) that I was getting the scallop and shrimp risotto, especially after I learned I could have it without the disgusting peas and asparagus (but with extra spinach.... I do love some veggies). It was AMAZING and will probably be the dish I always end up getting at the Indian Land, SC location when it opens. No room for dessert so you'll have to read my next review for that. 10/10

Immediately took our order, gave us a quick perusal of the drinks, and then promptly poured three different types of spirits, a wine for my first brother, a vodka and cranberry for my second and a whiskey flight that they had on the special for myself.

And I actually was hoping we were going to order dinner because all of the entrees that we saw hit the bar around us looked fantastic. We ended up connecting with a really cool local business owner by the name of Sonny, who is also at the bar having a bit of dinner before heading back to his Shop. That made the overall night even better. This is definitely a spotI will be checking out when I'm back in town.
