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"

It was SO cold we could not enjoy our dinner. Chicken parma was too salty and the spinach salad was lacking spinach (overload of ad-ons)

My wife and I had a wonderful dinner here to celebrate our 29th anniversary. Our friends who joined us happen to be vegetarian so we contacted them a few days before and they are able to prepare a special dishes for them. Service and ambience are also great. Clam Chowder and Brussels sprouts are tasty. I like my ling cod a lot and my wife enjoy her scallop. Our vegetarian friends also enjoy their special mushroom dishes.

We went to burger night, not knowing that the full menu was not available. So burgers it was, and they were absolutely amazing.

Dax has a lovely sense of humor, Elaine was so accommodating and I don’t think we got the waterbois name but he was keeping us hydrated. What a beautiful evening in a splendid little gem of a place. Will be bringing all my dates here.

4Jan2025-This was our 2nd time to The Depot. Did not disappoint!! Wild boar gnocchi had a great flavor and super tender with tasty sauce. My husband had rack of lamb and devoured everything down to the bone…his new favorite!! Bread pudding was wonderful warm, with the sauce and scoop of ice cream. Service was great and food was hot, which can be my pet peeve at restaurants if not served hot….truly exceptional!

The food was delicious. Two of us had pan fried oysters and they were spot on. The serving size was ample for the price and well prepared. One of us had the salmon special and said it was excellent. Our fourth had the scallop dish and would order it again. All and all a great experience. Our server Elaine was friendly, timely and helpful.
