This place is a gem on the coast. I've now been there twice and blown away with quality of food, chef's touch, creativity and ingredients. It's one of my favorite restaurants on the coast of Washington and the service staff want to make sure your experience matches the quality of the food. Can't say enough positive things about this place. I don't get picture of scallops but they were amazing. We ordered an extra scallop so both of us could have two! You need to go here if you are in area. Couldn't think of better dining and drinking experience. The depot red blend is also great wine if you are thinking about the steak. Thank you!
Aptly named for being in an old train Depot, this small restaurant has a great ambiance and delicious food. Definitely make a reservation as the space is small. The Brussels sprouts and oysters 'scargot were delicious, perfect starts to go with our dirty martinis. For dinner, I had the oyster dinner which came with 6 huge oysters,veggies and mashed potato. We didn't save enough room for dessert but should have since the options sounded great. Others at our table ordered a clam pasta, the duck, and a steak special. Service was great and friendly.
Burger night is back and better than ever! Great meat, great sided, fantastic cocktails, wonderful desserts and fantastic service. High recommended
Awesome food, amazing wine and beer! Could easily be the best restaurant in Long Beach!
Absolute gem of a restaurant just minutes from the beach. The service was top notch, the ingredients are sourced as much as possible from local farmers, foragers and fishers, and the chefs prepare each dish with passion and care. I get clam chowder anytime I go somewhere with access to local clams and The Depot makes the best chowder I've ever had. If you see the rockfish & chanterelles special on the menu, order without hesitation. It is phenomenal!
If you're visiting Seaview, WA and haven't stopped by this gem of a restaurant, you're seriously missing out. Nestled in the charming beach town, this spot perfectly balances casual vibes and fine dining experience . The focus on local seafood is apparent in every bite--whether it's the fresh fish, succulent prawns, or the star of the show, the oysters. And let's talk about those oysters. Specifically, the Oysters 'Scargot--six beautifully fresh, locally farmed Willapa Petite Oysters broiled in a heavenly garlic lime butter. Pairing them with a crispy French baguette? Perfection. I'm still dreaming about that dish and can't wait to order it again. But it's not just about the seafood. They also serve up fantastic meat dishes like duck, rack of lamb, and mouthwatering steaks. Their desserts are the stuff of dreams, and if you're a cocktail lover, you'll be spoiled for choice--especially with their impressive selection of bourbon whiskey. To top it all off, the service here is impeccable. The staff is attentive; ensuring you have everything you need for a perfect dining experience. Whether you're a local or just visiting, this place is a must-try. Trust me, you'll want to keep coming back.
We've been going to The Depot for years; to celebrate anniversaries, birthdays, Mother and Father's Day...pretty much any kind of celebration we can celebrate, The Depot is our go-to restaurant. The service is good, the atmosphere is interesting and the food is sublime. I felt like there was a bit of a hiccup when ownership was transferred, and wasn't too happy with what I felt was a culinary blip in time, but, having been back a few times to see if things had improved, I am happy to say I feel like they have! So, let's talk about the food! The Clam Chowder is wonderfully flavorful and clammy! It's not a thick chowder, but a sublime broth that wakes up your tastebuds and gets your tummy going for the next course ahead! The perfect way to whet your whistle! Don't forgo the chowder. My husband always orders the Ribeye Steak with garlic mash potatoes. It fills him up and satiates his caveman carnivore persona. He is always pleased with the sear of the steak and the accompanying potatoes are heartily enjoyed. This time around I ordered the Seared Scallops on puréed butternut squash, with apples and radishes. What a happy plate of food! I was nervous about the radish part, but they were so sweet and yummy, I couldn't taste a hint of any bitter radish. The smooth squash paired beautifully with the Scallops, who were truly the star on the plate. Dare I say old Gordon Ramsey would have been proud, I'm sure! I snarfed up the entire plate, and the best part is, I wasn't overstuffed. The portion size was perfect. A wonderful, lighter dish than my usual go to, which is the Southern Comfort Pork. Now THAT is a perfect plate of food for a cold, wet PNW day. Oh my, it is so good! Make sure to try the pork at least once.....and if it's cold and rainy. Mmmmm! Truly, you can't go wrong with any of the offered fare at The Depot. Take some time and get yourself over to the peninsula's best hidden gem. The Depot is excellent.
Interesting and older demographic and vibe inside the restaurant. Service was standard. Drinks and food were reasonably priced. My food ratings: - Scallops 10/10 - flavor was on point and super unique with the mango and parsley combination - Oysters escargot 9/10 - a little on the saltier side but the flavors definitely reminded me of escargot - Calamari - 7/10 - Fresh but the batter was a little soggy and nothing memorable - Duck breast - 8/10 - cooked perfectly! The cherry sauce was nice but didn't really care for the rice pilaf and veggies on the side - Creme Brulee - 7/10 - If you like the orange juice flavor, you would like this. They got the texture on this right though!
Our party of eight enjoyed our feast: - Old Fashioned Cocktail: good call using Amaro as a sweetener: A- - Dungeness Crab Mac: good flavor, but too "soupy" for me: C+ - Rib Eye Meatballs: hummus was good, but just an odd pairing: B+. Most of the dishes were priced accordingly, this was the only one where we felt a bit cheated as the delicious meatballs were small. - Peruvian Mango Sea Scallops: seafood is where they shine: A- - Gazpacho: bursting with spice, the heat level turned some off. Not the usual refreshing taste, but very good: B+ - Duck: ample portion, very good complimentary sauce, succulent: A- - Asian Noodles: great offset to all the protein, good portion: B+ - Steak: the blue cheese just didn't connect (it usually does), tender though: B- - Salad (the one with frisee), loved it: A- - Peanut Butter type pie: whipped cream tasted low end, but enjoyed it overall: B+ - Brownie and cobbler: both were more than decent: B Service was excellent: A This is the spot for upper casual dining.
