The food was good and the service could have been quicker and more genuine. I loved the mood and decor in the restaurant though.
Very cool spot. Great drinks. Amazing late night food. Bartenders are awesome! Shoutout to Hunter and John specially. 💜
Staff was friendly and quick. But honestly the food wasn’t that great. The Fish and Chips we had was a little off. The steak tips were really burnt on one side and super sweet. The chicken was very small. Just wasn’t our cup of tea.
The food was great but overshadowed by probably the most friendly staff in Boston. Everyone from the greeter to the bartenders and even the runner were just the most inviting and hospitable people. I went there for a casual first date and I will say, she was even happier than me. We had mussels which were correctly prepared in an authentic European broth and Mac&Cheese which was too bland for me but she devoured like there was a prize at the bottom. The place is roomy and not crowded. Parking was a chore though
Great mac and cheese. Added bacon helped. Craft beer selection is solid, too.
Fries were particularly bad from a mid-okay burger. Had a few of them and asked if could swap out salad— was charged for salad— 10$ for mixed greens… frustratingly bad service and poorly prepared food. Cool space, but won’t be back.
Love The Independent. Great food and yummy cocktails. Staff are great! Love coming down for $1 oysters on Monday. Always a hit for my friends and I!
I recently visited The Independent with a few friends I hadn't seen in a while and while we had a lovely meal, I got food poisoning from the PEI mussel dish. Beware!

It was my second time in The Independent today, and it was awesome service, food, and everything. I would love to go there again and again.

Great Atmosphere, Awesome Food, an Amazing Selection Of Drinks & Phenomenal Hospitality From The Entire Staff. The Whole Group I Was Enjoyed Ourselves & Will Return ?
Amazing food and cocktails at such a reasonable price for the area. Especially loved the salmon with an incredible yogurt tahini sauce. Husband got a burger which was solid but the best part was the fries! Service was great and loved the patio-perfect for an al fresco date night dinner. Will be back!
