About Independent Restaurant & Bar

The Independent Restaurant & Bar offers a delightful dining experience with a range of delectable dishes. The menu features an array of options, including succulent prawns, juicy ribeye, tender filet, and a savory cheese platter. New highlights include the salmon picatta, praised as the best by a recent guest, and the Hawaiian ahi crust, described as a deconstructed sushi on a plate, which did not disappoint. The standout dessert remains the mouthwatering strawberry tiramisu, along with a yummy bread pudding that is warm and not overly sweet. While the prices are on the higher end, with a cheeseburger and fries costing $25 and a pint of IPA $12, the quality of the food and the excellent service make it a worthwhile investment. The chef's expertise is evident in the perfectly cooked and seasoned dishes, such as the filet mignon, which is cooked medium rare and served with a delicious salty herbed butter sauce. The service is exceptional, with friendly and attentive staff who offer great recommendations. The ambiance is great, featuring both indoor and outdoor seating areas, with a comfortable patio experience even in hot weather. Recent reviews highlight the fantastic food, creative cocktails, and impressive filet, along with good wine options and a fresh mixed green salad.
