   We stayed at the George Hotel and this is the restaurant inside the hotel. We went there for my 65th birthday and it was spectacular from start to finish. That had two cards and flowers at my table. The service was excellent and the food was amazing from start to finish. We are coming back in a few weeks. Everything about the town hotel and this restaurant was spot on.

   I’m sure we were not there on their best night. It was quite busy and it looked like they could’ve been shorthanded.. I got my salad at the same time. I got my and we didn’t get bread until after that.

   We attended Sunday Brunch on Apr. 13, and food was good, but we would like to see something extra to make the experience better. Perhaps bread, roll, muffins served prior to meal or special prices for drinks (lower).

   This was our first visit dining here. We truly enjoyed everything including our wonderful waiter Hunter!! We dined on the special dish Bronzino, the duck and two of us had the fresh catch of the day. We shared the cornbread appetizer and the crab dip and finished off in sharing the chocolate ganache cake and key lime pie. We had 2 excellent wine choices and there wasn’t a morsel left of anything when we finished. We will definitely return and recommend this fine restaurant!!

   Food and service was very good. But disappointed that we Just wanted to order From the dinner menu and not the brunch and could not do that. Did not know it was a brunch time only.

   Just love the Independent! Food & cocktails are sublime! Decor of restaurant & hotel are perfection. Server, Louise I believe, made everything better! It’s a must if you’re in the grand strand!

   Absolutely the best fried chicken and waffles I’ve ever enjoyed. If you’ve ever watched Tournament of Champions, The Independent Restaurant chicken and waffles are truly an elevated dish.

    Great restaurant, food and staff included. We sat as 2 in a 4 round table center and it was too tight for movement and awkward. Just a note to a very nice evening.
