    Tried the flatbread and cider that was on special

    Food was phenomenal. The menu changed to a smaller selection, but what they are making its done right. Will be back regularly for the food, service, and view.

    Top Sirloin Entree
    Shane S.

    When: Wed Aug 5th 2020; 8:00 pm; Party of 2 Adults The Territory Restaurant is the hotel restaurant of the Independence Hotel. For this eatery, it's the river front views and the outdoor patio seating that is a key selling point for hotel guests and friends to meet up for lunch or dinner. The menu here is pretty much standard American fare, that covers all the bases, to satisfy a broad range of clientele. On this late dinner occasion, my wife ordered the Top Sirloin entree, that came with salad greens and fingerling potatoes. Per her response, the Top Sirloin was nothing remarkable and the sides were very tasty. For me, I ordered the Halibut Fish & Chips. On first impressions, my Halibut Fish was drowning in a bed of Fries. The Halibut was very tasty and moist and I just wish there were more Halibut pieces to finish up almost half a plate of fries. In my honest opinion, the Territory restaurant has a built-in captured audience & clientele, from the hotel, as well as being one of the few higher end restaurant in the Independence/Monmouth area. As stated earlier, the river front views is the big draw, that will bring in customers. But I really think, for the portions being offered, at the current pricing point, the food quality needs to be kicked up a notch or two, to keep hotel guests happy or area residents coming back as frequent restaurant patrons and not just a one and done visit.

    The guava margarita and Brussel sprouts for an appetizer are a must here. Don't get the charcuterie app. It was definitely subpar in the grand scale of charcuterie boards out there. The view of the Willamette River was incredible, relaxing, and serene. The music was 90s/2000s alt rock.

    View 5/5 Service 5/5 Food 1/5 Love the location and they have a great atmosphere. There were four of us and we each ordered something different. Our food review ranged from average to not good at all. Hopefully this review helps this restaurant focus on the area where improvement is desperately needed.

    Cocktail Menu

    We really liked this place. Well the food and drinks were good anyway. The Elderflower Old Fashioned was so good, we went again for another meal within a week. The first visit I had fish and chips, hubby had andouille mac and cheese. The Mac and cheese was a good size serving, the fish and chips were three smallish pieces and lots of chips, too much to finish. Both were good and we will have them again. The next time, we both had the New York steak. Now those were really good. I had the bleu cheese butter, hubby had the bourbon butter. Served with in-season vegetables and potatoes. All cooked perfectly and delicious. We also shared a Caesar salad, which was good, not great, but good. The atmosphere is a bit sterile, and the service was good, neither were warm nor welcoming- but efficient.

    Seared Ahi Salad

    We had an excellent time at Territory! We had the Spinach Dip, Tempeh Sandwich, and Seared Ahi Salad. All of the food was delicious and the service was great! They did a great job at social distancing and keeping everything sanitized. My only recommendation for the restaurant is to have music playing inside and outside.

    Half of the veggies with our hummus appetizer. Left us concerned about what our main meal would be.

    Stopped into Gilgamesh Brewing while traveling for work and completely forgot it was St. Patrick's…read moreDay. Walked in expecting a normal dinner, immediately realized we had made a tactical error in the best way possible. The place was packed, loud, and had that kind of energy you can't really fake. Solid 10/10 on vibes if you're in the mood for it (and even if you're not, you adjust quickly). Despite being clearly short staffed, the service was impressively good. Not "everything is perfectly on time" good, but "everyone is working hard, communicating, and actually cares" good. They were very upfront and apologetic about the delays, which honestly went a long way. Food came out a bit slower than usual (again, not surprising given the circumstances), but overall I'd put it at a strong 8/10. Nothing overhyped, just well-executed and worth ordering again. I had the classic lager and it was meh. This is very subjective I realize but I'd rate it a 4 or 5/10. All things considered, it could have easily been a frustrating experience walking in on one of the busiest nights of the year, but it wasn't. Credit to the staff for keeping things running and keeping the tone positive. I'd come back, ideally on a slightly less festive evening, but also kind of glad I saw it at full capacity.

    The Tres Major steak is excellent! Went there on Mother's Day and I will definitely have it next…read moretime too!!

    One of the first things I had from Ovenbird was a peanut butter cookie that so reminded me of my…read moreMom's that I literally teared up. I sent an email and the baker responded that they used the recipe from Betty Crocker's The Cooky Book - which was exactly what my Mom used. Their pastries are superb, and not too sweet. Flaky croissants, Danish's with ripe local fruit, cinnamon rolls with and without raisins (I'm team raisin). Their quiche is delicious - some have a potato crust. Their sandwiches are generous and every soup I've tried is absolutely more-ish. The staff is friendly, kind, and involved in their community. They have a fund, kept up by them and other downtown businesses, that assures the UPS driver never pays for his lunch (I love this so much.). Since Nov. 1, they're offering 1/2 sandwich + soup lunch free to those who receive SNAP benefits. (Anyone can donate $$ to keep that going) Stop by and support this awesome local business!

This is my go-to when I need lunch for a staff meeting, baked goods for a special event, and/or just a yummy snack.
