From Pier to Plate
Located within The George Hotel, The Independent is an ingredient-driven, seafood restaurant and raw bar showcasing the Lowcountry’s local fishermen, farmers and purveyors. Led by Executive Chef Thomas Vance, The Independent offers a seasonal menu of Southern-inspired dishes guided by the region’s bounty of fresh seafood. Raw offerings, like little neck clams, peel-and-eat shrimp and oysters on the half shell, are complemented by prepared small plates, chef selections and a-la-carte proteins and sides.
Outside, guests will find Eliza’s. Located on The George’s greenspace, the waterfront bar is a casual retreat along the picturesque Sampit Riverfront with a full bar, lounge seating and outdoor games. Eliza’s island-inspired cocktails are complemented by its small menu of light bites, snacks and the full raw bar.
