   We had the most delicious dinner last night at The Independent restaurant. We were surprised when they moved us from a noisy corner to a nice quiet booth. The whole evening was absolutely perfect. Service was great. Food came out quickly and was amazingly cooked. I had short ribs and polenta that was just amazing. My husband had prime rib cooked to perfection with mashed potatoes and vegetables that were delicious.

   Love this cute little bistro. The service is always exceptional each time we visit the area for our annual Christmas tree hunt!

   Best restaurant in town. Casual and can be noisy inside. There are heaters in the patio. Love those turnip fries.

   The menu was very unique and the food was excellent I had the bank mi chicken sandwich and my wife had grilled cheese. Both were delicious and there were plenty of hot and crispy fries. Our server, Amy, was attentive and very friendly. Would highly recommend this restaurant.

    We got to the restaurant on time for our reservation and had a short wait to be seated. Once seated however we were completely forgotten. We waited at least 20 minutes for someone, who had walked past us multiple times, looking over at us and smiling, to come over and ask if we had been helped. When we said no he acted shocked. He was a good actor and when he got over the "shock" that we hadn't been helped yet as if he couldn't tell from the many times he passed by us he said he would let someone know. After a bit of a wait we started gathering our things to leave when another guy came over to wait on us. His excuse for not coming to our table sooner was "he had just been told". Do these guys not know what tables they have for the evening? He came from the outside area but that was the only time he came inside. We left all because of the customer service. Nobody seemed to care therefore we don't care if we ever return.

    Hi Susan- We apologize that it took so long for our server to get to your table in his assigned section. Yes, he was busy with his outside tables at the time, and we're sure the 12 minutes it took for him to come to your table felt longer to you. We have spoken to our staff members involved and have emphasized the importance of communicating with all tables in their section so they do not feel forgotten, thanks for bringing your experience to our attention. Cheers-
