We had our 14 year anniversary there last night and the food and experience was phenomenal. I asked if we could be placed at a romantic table and they sent us right in front of the fireplace it was amazing.

Go for the Happy Hour menu! Half price for smaller portions.

Birthday! Great experience!

Enjoyed lunch on the patio. Good menu choices. Food took some time to arrive but otherwise service and food very good.

Unfortunately the food was lack luster and quite expensive for what you’d expect with those prices.

Great location, customer service, and food. We had a party of 6 and everyone was really happy with our first visit to The Independant Restaurant. We'll definitely be back!

We were referred by EdenVale Inn. Dinner was fabulous, the best short ribs ever! Tyrell was awesome as our server, made suggestions and he was right on! Would definitely, stop there again when in the area!

Wonderful evening with family. The food and drink are exceptional and the entire staff is always amazing!!!!!

Dinner was prepared well. My daughter had the salmon and my husband and I shared a wedge salad and both had the buttermilk fried chicken. The dressing on the salad was a bit skimpy and I had to ask for more which Jake promptly brought. Service was fantastic. Jake was friendly, professional, and responsive but didn't hover over us.
It was a bit noisy inside which made it difficult to have much of a conversation.

The Table was set beautifully and we really enjoyed the food & desert. The service was attentive but not a bother

We had a great meal. Food, cocktails and service all top notch! I highly recommend the double cut pork chop and the short ribs! The old fashions were stellar as well.

We had a delicious dinner! The food was excellent, worth waiting for!

One of the best steaks Ive had! Good cocktails too!

The Independent is one of our favorites in town! Never disappoints!!!!

Other than parking….this is a great place for drinking and dining. The outdoor patio by the fireplace is charming.

Food was very good and plentiful but overpriced. The menu is limited. Enjoyed the atmosphere on Halloween....

Wonderful main courses to choose from, Filet and Salmon dishes were really good! Waitress service by a long time employee was excellent because she knew the menu, very prompt with refill of water, food came out in a reasonable time.

Awesome cocktail and service! Made our anniversary lunch super special. Thank you!

We reserved early and had only outside seating . We were seated at the open parking area. Not great. Service was very good. Menu selection and food not that great. Disappointed. I was really looking forward to eating there again.

The food was great. The ambiance was wonderful. There is outside seating with heat lamps. We'll definitely be back!

We arrived a little early but the super nice hostess was happy to seat us early. Jake, our server, was over promptly and we got our drink order in after he explained the menu addition for the night. French Linen was the cocktail of choice. House infused vanilla syrup, lemon juice, vodka, etc. sounded like a dream! Wrong. Drink was unbalanced. Way too much acid, bartender didn’t taste before sending out. Un drinkable for me. Set it to the side after two sips. Appetizer came out from the very fast and abrupt food runner. Like I almost I jumped out of my seat because he came up so fast behind me and abruptly announced, “how many share plates here? Three?” Promptly tosses down three plates onto our table and walks away. Like was he asking us or just speaking out loud to himself because he didn’t wait for an answer? Anyways…dinner came out. I ordered the miso Ahi tuna dish, my husband ordered the fried Mary’s chicken and my daughter order the Mac n cheese off the children’s menu. So let’s get into the food…my miso Ahi dish was completely cold. Not like it sat too long , like it was meant to be cold I think. I’m still not sure to be honest. But it was cold. The only thing on the plate that was warm at all was the risotto cake. And it wasn’t hot, just warm. The cucumber and green bean salad thing was just poorly done in my opinion. Nothing special at all. The only thing that stood out on my plate was the coconut/wasabi peri peri sauce that was the saving grace to this plate! The fried chicken breast was so overly breaded that the breading wouldn’t hold onto the chicken breast. The moment it was touched it just fell right right off. Jake seemed knowledgeable and very nice but he took my order for a new cocktail while I had a full cocktail in front of me and never asked me why? Bottom line, food was mediocre at best and pricy for what it was. Plates were full of thumbprints on the rim, and sloppily presented IMO. Service could use some polishing to match those prices

Top notch in everything. Patio dining is best. They have two and it's much quieter outside. Turnip fries are not to be missed. Salmon burger is terrific. Service friendly and attentive.

Very good, prompt , attentive service. (Cassidy ?sp)

The patio is lovely and well covered for comfortable outdoor dining. There is street noise but not overly distracting.

I ordered the grilled Ahi Nicoise which I often order, and this was the best yet. Ahi flavorful and cooked perfectly, greens fresh, good olives and fingerling potatoes.

Ryan our server was extremely professional and handled a busy patio area with ease.

Great local restaurant with some of the friendliest staff around.

Filet and salmon where excellent. Chairs a little uncomfortable but over all a very nice experience.

Loved this place and will be back! We were on the back patio and I’m so glad. Nice atmosphere out there. Service was good overall, sometime feel a little forgotten because it was very busy but great food and drinks. Maybe a little overpriced but we really enjoyed it for date night.

This place is Amazing!! Excellent food and Service. LOVE the Ambiance! Beautiful Patio!

Loved the prawns. Great steaks and sauces. Don't skip dessert - my favorite was the chocolate, son really enjoyed the cheesecake.
Interesting drinks to try.

It was a relaxing dinner

A thank you dinner.

Good food, good service, good time. We had a great table on the patio and a nice visit from the owner! A+

Great food like Always. Short ribs are always my go to but the filet was amazing as well.

The staff is always friendly and the food is wonderful!

Spendy but good food for a special dinner. We don't go out much so a meal like this is maybe once every 2 or 3 years

This evening we enjoyed supper on the patio. Tyrel, one of our favorite humans, was our server!
We shared a Caesar salad to start while I had the Bourbon Ginger Smash and hubs had the Prankster Belgium Quad.
For supper I ordered the Sunday night special: Prime Rib!
It was a one pound cut of the most delicious RARE prime I’ve ever had! Perfectly seasoned, super-tender beef to go along with roasted garlic mashed potatoes and fresh summer vegetables. My husband had the Pesto Fettuccine Alfredo with grilled chicken. I had a glass of the Lewis Grace Cab which paired beautifully with the beef while my husband had the Fiddletownn Zin.
We were full as ticks when Tyrel suggested Raspberry Cheesecake 😳 It wasn’t cheesecake with raspberry sauce. It was beautiful, decadent pink raspberry cheesecake and it was delicious
We really love going to The Independent! Jeff has assembled a great team with a top-notch chef!
Yay us 🍽🍷💫

Excellent special of the day

Great dinner. Lots to choose from the menu. I didn’t feel like eating a huge meal so I had their ahi Niçoise salad and my husband had a short rib. Yummy.
