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"

This is the best restaurant on the Peninsula! We always go there for special occasions, or when we want a delicious meal. The food is consistently fresh and prepared beautifully. We also always ask to be seated in Don's section as he is the consummate waiter. He's friendly, knowledgeable and makes sure our orders are perfect!! I highly recommend The Depot for a fine dining experience.

If you are looking for fine dining, The Depot is your restaurant. The service is impeccable and the food is absolutely delicious! We recommend the braised pork or steak Killian. Both were fantastic. And don’t forget dessert. Scrumptious bites!

Had an early Valentines dinner with my husband at The Depot and I ordered the small plate of oysters and the wilted spinach salad. The oysters were huge so 4 was plenty, and the wilted spinach salad was absolutely delicious. Husband had the 14 oz. ribeye which was too big for one dinner, so he had the leftovers for lunch. I think they have updated their sourcing for the ribeye's as they have so much less fat (which is great) than the ribeye's they used to serve a few years ago. Everything was delicious and my husband even got to swap out the smashed potatoes for his favorite potato's au gratin. Always special when we have dinner at The Depot!

It was what it always is, very good…:) My only complaint after years of eating there is it’s a cold building in the winter.

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.
