Restaurants near Independence Mall

We’ve been going to Sullivan’s since 1997! It’s our go to bar restaurant! Awesome ambience, service is usually top notch, their signature “Knock Out” Martini is the best around! For a period since 2020 the restaurant went shall I say, down hill… clientele to service but over the past year or so it’s made a tremendous comeback! No it’s not “top of the line Del Frisco’s” but for a time there it was along the lines but then dropped to an average restaurant. I think the menu has improved, the service definitely improved but I miss the svelte waitresses in black skirts & fancy tights & the waiters that were also so called “eye candy” as my wife and daughter put it. Although they’ve made the restaurant for the “common folk” it’s missing its luster but it’s coming back I think . Anyway, Alyssa our waitress tonight was “Better than the meal and drinks” she made the night! Her service was impeccable, over the top and outstanding. She was conscientious, observant and pleasant! By far the “BEST” service we’ve had there in a few years! The girl deserves a raise but not a promotion b/c we need her serving no managing! But “show her the MONEY!” I’ll be requesting Alyssa from now on!!! and I have a huge referral base! Doc & Pam

I took my son, his wife, and my 11-year-old grandson to Bardea on a Friday night. They live in Silicon Valley, where they have three Michelin-starred restaurants within driving distance. They agreed that the food at this place is better than what you get at two of those restaurants, and the equal of the third. What more needs to be said? Except that the service was friendly and efficient, and the place was full the whole time we were there. Not inexpensive, but it won't break the bank. And you can/should share everything with tablemates.

Thoroughly enjoyed. Sat at high top in tavern. Very comfortable seating, busy but not overly crowded or loud. Great service with attentive staff. Prompt drink service, delicious food and drinks. Reasonable prices. We will be back.

Loved bringing my out of town family to this destination for dining. Always a treat. Service is excellent. Each time I'm greeted with "welcome back" and I'm, sure they don't recognize me...bartender is top notch, a real professional. and the food. I'm trying to work my way through the menu, but the asparagus fries get me each time. Try not to order the Bolognaise, I dare you. It is really that good.

Lovely meal and tasty drinks. Started with a Whiskey Business and a white sangria, both delicious. We opted for the classic alpine fondue with French bread, pretzel bread, apples, cauliflower, peppers and carrots for dipping. We also ordered the charcuterie plate which had chorizo, summer sausage, prosciutto, delicious whole grain mustard, fig spread, artisan grain and fruit crackers, pickles, Peruvian red pearl peppers, olives and pearl onions - a great accompaniment to the fondue and not too heavy.
