Charming

The Depot Restaurant - Seaview features casual fine dining offering a Chef's Table to watch owner Chef Michael Lalewicz perform his magic from a display kitchen. The covered heated deck adds outdoor seating. A northwest and international wine list offers 16 wines by the glass, five microbrews and a hard cider on-tap. This 132 year old train station from the peninsula's Clamshell Railroad feels like a French Bistro especially when seated at the 9 seat counter reminding one of the Orient Express. Northwest Palate claims "Lalewicz has food angels in the kitchen" and food writer Gerry Frank of the Oregonian declares "the Depot is one of the best Dinner Houses in the Northwest"

From the moment we walked in, the Depot was fabulous. We were immediately welcomed warmly and with awareness of details from our reservation. I’d noted that we were celebrating a birthday and that was mentioned immediately. Everyone was kind, friendly, and accommodating. The food was fabulous - fresh and delicious. We had the chicken Parmesan and the clams bucatini and both were above and beyond. The whole experience was worth the price and then some!

The Depot was excellent, start to finish. We were seated promptly, the service was perfect-professional, efficient and friendly. And the food-oh my. I had the halibut, a very generous portion cooked perfectly and my husband had pasta with clams and oysters, both delicious. We both had dessert-my chocolate mousse was wonderful but his blackberry pie ala mode was even better. We’re coming back in two days with friends-can’t wait!

What a cozy, charming restaurant! My husband and I celebrated my 68th birthday at The Depot and we are so pleased we picked this restaurant to celebrate it! We started off with the clam chowder that was presented to us with 4 steamed clams in the shells on top of the chowder. Wonderful flavor. Next we had the special, which was a large grilled ribeye steak, with smashed garlic potatoes underneath and vegetables on the side! Delicious! And because it was my birthday, my dessert was on the house! We shared the crème brûlée which was made with orange zest and it was a large portion at that! Also delicious! Thanks so much! We highly recommend The Depot restaurant!

It was just okay. We were wanting to try this restaurant for a while and made our way over the weekend. We were sat earlier than our reservation time which was nice. Staff was pleasant. On a recommendation I ordered the duck confit. It was overcooked and rather dry though the presentation looked great.
