There is also Vivilore and Cafe Verona and Ophelia's which are supposed to be awesome, but I have not been to those.
If you're wanting Mexican, in Independence on Noland Rd I would say Hacienda Vieja, but honestly, Ponak's and Manny's are much better, but they're not in Independence.
Not sure what boredinop is smoking. Lol

I think the problem here is what is the definition of "fine dining" is for a person?

Is it s nice meal is a good restaurant that is a treat or special occasion

or

are we talking about the best of the best restaurants in the city that tend to compete on a national level?

If it is the former then there are wonderful spots all over the city and of course in Independence.

If we are talking about the latter then that would be:

+1 definitely for Corvino Supper. Outstanding food and atmosphere. And not smoking anything I am a CEC and I tell what I think…….

Eh well, I grew up in a working class family. Never had a silver spoon in my mouth, so I suppose my definition of "fine dining" is not as refined as you elite upper crust types.

The bit about "smoking" was simply a joke.

Excuse me while I pick my knuckles up off the ground and shuffle back to my cave.
