    Another fantastic experience at The Independent R&B. As soon as we checked-in for our reservation the hostess recognized our special night celebrating our anniversary, as did our server, who’s name is escaping me, when welcoming us in. I started off with a Bourbon Ginger Smash (very tasty) and we shared the Tempura Prawns and Thai Chicken Skewers appetizers, both delicious, but have to say the prawns are a must try. For our entrees I enjoyed the Lemon Caper Salmon and my husband enjoyed his perfectly cooked med-well Filet Mignon—not an easy feat, typically chefs will butterfly to get the right temp. To finish things off, I thoroughly enjoyed the dessert special, banana pudding with a Happy Anniversary note in chocolate and my husband devoured the chocolate cheesecake. From the front of the house to the back, service was amazing and spot on. Just have to mention, the hostess made the rounds refilling water and noticed my husband’s coke was empty and graciously brought him a new one. When our server noticed the refill included ice (something hubby likes to omit) he offered to bring him a new one. I have to say, what a great catch and very attentive because a lot of the time, when we dine out, his coke is delivered with ice even after the request for none is made. Bravo, to the entire team!

    We really do enjoy Eldo. Ordered the platter for four. Food was amazing. Only thing I would change is add something other than French fries. It’s such an elegant platter to serve with something not so elegant as fries. Service was great too, but slower than normal. It was a busy Wednesday evening!
