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"

We had a very enjoyable early Christmas Dinner celebration. We enjoyed cranberry/lemon drop drinks, scallop appetizers, with the southern comfort pork, and the brownie salty Carmel ice cream for dessert. They comped our drinks because they were a little slow serving them (we did not complain, they just did it). They allowed us to substitute mashed potatoes instead of sweet potatoes. All the food, service and atmosphere was great!!! The Depot is the BEST restaurant on the peninsula!!!

The restaurant had nice atmosphere , we ordered clam chowder, oyster scargot, and the wild boar gnocchi. The gnocchi was the best part of the meal. The servers were nice and friendly.

ordered a drink, no brandy...ordered another, no Seagram's. ordered the smoked salmon mac-n-cheese and it was so salty I could not eat more than 3 bites. other dish ordered was steak & was reported to be delicious. they asked if I wanted a box for my uneaten meal to which I said NO and no questions were asked as to why I did not eat it. Paid the tab and left, disappointed.

My wife had the Steak Killian and I had the Clams Bucatini. Both were prepared and presented to perfection. They make a nice dirty martini too, and the marion berry cobbler was excellent. It's a small space and popular with both locals and visitors, so best make a reservation.

We were served our food very promptly after ordering, and things we had asked to be divided between two of us were divided without charge. The food was perfect temperature, and extremely tasty. We were very happy with the freshness, taste, presentation of our food. Definitely will recommend to others, and return whenever we are in the area.
