First time visiting The Independent last night and we will be back. Great location for dinner before a show. The staff amazing and attentive. All of the staff constantly observed tables when walking past to take care of patrons. There was no attituded of “that’s not my job” or “that’s not my station.” Great team work! We enjoyed everything we ordered. The espresso fall-tini has great flavor. (Just give it a few more shakes for a better froth on top). The pull-apart brioche..sooo good! The pickle brined chicken was moist and flavorful. Love the fries. My husband enjoyed the shrimp tacos with an order of truffle fries. I also ordered the brussel sprouts. Two things, please offer as a side, b/c the appetizer portion is too big for one person. I also wish they had a bit more of a char on them. But overall we had a great experience and will recommend to our friends who frequent the city. Oh, Sierra is a great waitress!

Was here for a corporate happy hour. It’s ok. Great location to grand central. The waiters were john on the spot to take drink orders. Food orders, no so much. Infact, you’re best avoiding the food. Not great. The drinks were OK but nothing spacial. Maybe stick with the margaritas. Decent holiday decorations. We enjoyed ourselves but when drunk enough with known people anything is fun enough. There are better places to go. There are also worse. Check it out and decide for your self.

Had an incredible time at The Independent! The atmosphere was welcoming, the drinks were spot‑on, and the service was top‑tier. Scarlett, in particular, made the night unforgettable. She was friendly, attentive, and genuinely great at what she does. Her energy and professionalism elevated the whole experience.
If you’re looking for a place with great vibes and even better service, this is the place — especially with Scarlett behind the bar!

Thank you again so much Clive! Clive is such a wonderful bartender, gave friendly service and made delicious cocktails. He is clearly a huge asset to this establishment. It was our first time in NYC and he made our experience incredibly memorable. Not to mention this place is BEAUTIFUL. So if you want excellent service with great drinks in a lovely atmosphere, go see Clive at Indo.

Nice atmosphere. I went there during restaurant week with 2 friends and 2 of us were late but they were still patient and nice. Steak frites were so good. I would definitely go there again! My server was also nice and other servers were constantly checking in. For some that might be a tad overwhelming but it was okay.

Hard to find a nice setting for lunch in Midtown that’s reasonably priced with good food and isn’t so noisy that you can’t easily talk to your lunch partner. This was such a place. Shrimp tacos were excellent. Especially fine was our service. Thanks to Ciera for not rushing us as we talked, for always smiling and checking in that we had all we needed. You really made the lunch a notch above.

Wondered in on our first day, in New York. Clive couldn’t be more welcoming “bar is full of bloody English today” we laughed, drank and were well fed. We enjoyed the atmosphere and Irish craic so much we returned 3 times during our week. Highly recommend this lovely bar with great staff. Cheers from Robin Hood land

I come back to this bar time and time again because I’m a huge fan of the day bartender Clive. He is a true professional barman who always knows your name and your drink, makes you feel right at home. The food is excellent as well! Highly recommend.

Cool NYC bar vibes. The food was very disappointing though. Had the margherita pinsa which lacked flavour. The churros weren’t great – particularly the dipping sauces. The chocolate one tasted like the chocolate syrup from the bottle and the caramel was just a blob of thick Dulce de leche from a tin. Very expensive for not the best quality.
