What User likes about The Independence:
When we walked in it looked like another bar but the food was off the charts. I'm very picky when it comes to Cioppino but this was up there with Rock'N Fish in manhattan Beach and Scomas in SF. The Salmon and Branzino were great too. View all feedback. What User doesn't like about The Independence:
Service was awful, waitress couldn't explain the endless Mimosa during brunch when different juices are added... so when we were still confused, she just got frustrated and her attitude continued during the entire meal. Food was good but we left unhappy and not wanting to go back. View all feedback.

read moreThe Independence in Santa Monica offers a wonderful dining experience with top-notch food and service. The menu has a diverse selection, including excellent Cioppino, salmon, and Branzino. The atmosphere is cool, the staff is friendly, and the overall vibe is great. While there were some minor complaints about noise levels and fruit fly issues, the staff made an effort to accommodate diners. The cocktails, including a fantastic skinny margarita, are a hit, along with delicious dishes such as oysters, fish and chips, and the Indy burger. With great attention to detail, this is definitely a must-visit spot in LA.
