Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Independence

My wife and I went for our 22nd anniversary. It was our first time here and we were very pleased with our experience. We made reservations foe 5:15 and we're about 15 min early and we were seated immediately. Our server was excellent explaining the menu and all the options including the spe ials that were not on the menu. We ordered an appetizer each which came pretty quick and as we finished up them our entrees arrived just a few minutes later. Everything was timed perfectly and we did not wait a long time in between. Food was excellent and cooked to perfection. We were full by the end of our meal so when our waitress asked about dessert we had to decline. However because it was our Anniversary she boxed up a piece of cake to go which we enjoyed later on that night. Overall wonderful experience and we will definitely come back again, I highly recommend this restaurant.

Restaurant Review: A Perfect Celebration for My Fiancé’s 24th Birthday Last night, we had the pleasure of dining at Pier W, and I can confidently say it was an unforgettable experience. We were there to celebrate my fiancé’s 24th birthday, and from the moment we walked in, everything exceeded our expectations. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with just the right balance of elegance and comfort. The staff went above and beyond to make the night special, starting with a warm greeting and a surprise birthday acknowledgment for my fiancé. The food was phenomenal. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. We started with the calamari as our appetizer, it was the best I have ever had. I got the Grilled Mahi as my entree and my fiancé got the Chef’s special (Swordfish). Both dishes were above and beyond. It was clear that a lot of thought and care went into each plate. What truly stood out, though, was the personal touches. At the end of the meal, the staff brought out a complimentary dessert for my fiancé. We also enjoyed complementary champagne with our meals. This was our first visit, but it certainly won’t be our last. Pier W made this milestone birthday celebration absolutely perfect, and we’re already looking forward to coming back. If you’re looking for amazing food, stellar service, and an unforgettable experience, this is the place to go!

Dining here is an experience not to be rushed. Take advantage of the table side preparations that are offered. We loved the Parmesan pasta cart and the bananas foster was perfect! Treat yourself to a nice night out with wonderful food and immaculate service.

We’ve dined at Blue Point before over the years, but tonight was by far our favorite time. We took my daughter for our annual Christmas dinner and it could not have been more perfect. Our server, Hailie was so kind and attentive. She made the experience truly special for my daughter. Our appetizer, entrees and desserts were perfect. The Christmas decorations at Blue Point are second to none and elicit the ambiance of a Manhattan restaurant during and holidays. We cannot recommend Blue Point or our server Hailie highly enough.

Excellent food and service. Disappointed by the size and location of the two person table.
