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.

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 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.

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.

Thanks for having us, Independence! 5 stars all around.
Our waitress and service was overall phenomenal. The food was above and beyond any expectations! From the fish, to the avocado toast to the Mac and cheese! Amazing and super tasty. To top it all off, $20 for 2 hours of unlimited mimosas for brunch 7 days a week – such a bonus!!! Had a great time catching up with friends and enjoying each other’s company on their cute patio. Perfect for these crazy Covid times with the indoor seating with open concept and outdoor patio seating.
If you are in the area and get a chance to stop by I highly recommend. The Nashville chicken sandwich and the brunch burger were my favorites but everything was delicious!

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.

If you are in a mood to eat at a restaurant with the Californian vibe, this is the place. Has a nice chill atmosphere with friendly staff.
Food is tasty, but a bit pricey for what it is. However you won’t be upset with what you have in front of you.
It does have a major fruit fly issue inside the restaurant for some reason, but the staff will try to make accommodations for your comfort. It could have been the weather that day. Hard to say.
