About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
In a casual yet elegant atmosphere, set in a recently remodelled century old historic train station, Claire's passion is great food and outstanding service. Offering contemporary American cuisine - local, seasonally focused - with a Southern flaire. The renovation honors the historic character of the Warrenton Train Depot, resulting in a warm, comfortable environment for casual meetings with friends, or special occasions and intimate family meals. The warm, elegant Garden Room provides seating for intimate meals, while the Tavern Room features a more casual dining experience in luxurious surroundings. A rotating selection of craft beers is available on tap, and the wine service is regularly expanded. Outdoor dining is available in season, and private events can be hosted in one of several areas in the restaurant. Awarded "Best of Warrenton" every year since 2006.

    Gave it another shot after over a year and it will be our last. Service is very slow. We sat for 10 minutes before we were greeted by our waitress. Food is mediocre, nothing special. I don’t understand the draw this place has. I think it’s because there aren’t many options in Warrenton and people consider Longhorn to be fine dining.

    The service was very slow. It appeared our server had too many tables. No callbacks, constant waiting. Menu never seems to change. After many visits over a number of years, this visit was the worst and it came during my Birthday dinner visit.
    Claire's at the DepotResponded on March 18, 2025
    I am so sorry to hear this. If you could reach out via phone or e-mail, I would really love to send you a birthday treat to give us another try. Thank you for letting us know.
