We were looking for a place to enjoy dinner with friends when we stumbled across Independence and decided give the place a try. The choices were diverse. I combined the octopus and calamari appetizer and roasted brussel sprouts for my dinner. I eat octopus and calamari dishes probably more than most. This was by far one of the best dishes I have had. My wife and friends do not eat either because they do not like the texture. This dish was cooked so perfectly the meat was tender and not at all chewy. I convinced them all to try the dish and they loved it. We shared bites of each others food and everything was amazing. When we go back to So Cal we plan to make this our go-to when we are in the area.
Absolutely one of the best places to go. Food is exceptional and the service is great. I highly recommend.
Went here during my birthday weekend for brunch and I had a great time! Love the bottomless mimosas for 27 dollars! (90 minute limit) and I devoured the egg sandwich that I ordered while my boyfriend could not get enough of his steak and eggs. We'd definitely come back.
The food was good. The table was not balanced. It was rockey. The waitress could have been more attentive. Other than that it's a good place to eat.
Follow me. Perfect place for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner because it’s located right near the Santa Monica pier. The food was excellent and made to order. The brunch burger is a must try. Everything on one sandwich. The fruit was fresh and the bacon was cooked perfectly. The Belgian waffles and eggs was cooked just like we asked. The breakfast potatoes was really good. You just don’t get that much. We sat outside and it was perfect. Our waiter was friendly and knowledgeable. They have bottomless mimosas and a variety of coffee and teas to choice from. They also have a Happy hour which is drinks only. Wednesday-Friday 4pm-6pm. The inside is very modern and pretty. The bathrooms was clean.

The Independence is a wonderful dining experience in Santa Monica. Have been quite a few times. I’ve had the oysters, fish and chips, salmon, and wings. Each dish was delicious and the presentation was on point. Also the drink menu has a decent assortment of wines and liquors. Although I am personally partial to the Uncle Nearest. Great vibe and professional and attentive staff. When in LA check it out.
Keeping it simple:
Food, drinks, service……….all five stars! Portions are large and they do offer a pretty good bottomless mimosa (I think it’s $27 and limit is 1 ½ hours). We did not take advantage of it, but we ordered one glass and it was filled to the brim. And they go light on the juice, making it full of the good stuff.
Food quality and taste was there and service was FAST. Would definitely come back.
Is located in best area next to public parking across the beach next to 3rd street and hotels. They have the bestbstaff very friendly. The food is amazing wow i will definitely be coming back for more. We came for brunch and of course i had alcohol 🍸 express martini to he exact.
Great service, great food.
First time here. Family of 5. Definitely recommend. Food was amazing. Staff was great.
Great service. I ordered the waffles and chicken, which tasted amazing. I also ordered a side of fruit and bottomless mimosas.. I had to tell them no more champagne because I was too tipsy lol I highly recommend this restaurant.
Friendly greeting at front door, immediately seated and water offered straight away by owner. Server was extremely friendly, efficient and used perfect attentiveness level. Nice beer and wine selection, with very tasty BLT, omelette & frites.
This is our second time to The Independence and yet again the service and food were amazing we ate the Smash Burger and the Mushroom Burger which both were so delicious and juicy. The surprise winner was the broccoli appetizer this was so amazing and savory. We will definitely be back and are always happy to come here.
