Best Casual Restaurants in Independence

Jennifer was wonderful. Very attentive and pleasant. The food was really good also probably one of the better prime ribs I've ever eaten. Apple crisp was very good

We have been going to the Lee's Summit location since 2023, and all aspects of Cooper's Hawk are amazing, including the food, service, and ambiance. Love all the gifts available to purchase for wine lovers in the wine tasting room. We went for Valentines dinner recently. Although we had reservations, we did have to wait a bit as it was very busy. The wait, however, was not bad at all with complimentary glasses of wine and places to sit if needed. We had the great server, Tim again, who was attentive, funny, and even sang happy birthday to my husband. The food and whole experience truly make it 5 stars for us!

We came here for Valentines day. We were seated promptly and the service was excellent. The food came out very fast and was hot and fresh. Ample portions were provided for both the appetizers and entre's.

We went on Valentine’s Day, so it wasn’t a surprise it took awhile to get our food. The waitress was pretty busy, but was pleasant.

Great place when you are hungry for seafood. Leanne is a wonderful server, checked on us frequently and confirmed that our needs and expectations were met.
