    Would go back for the homemade mozzarella appetizer. Wine list was so, so. Our guest loved her scallops. The pork chop was huge and very good. Caesar salad was dry. Beautiful place still, but was very quiet. Maybe 3 tables total. Wish there was a full bar.

    It was our first time dining here. The manager on duty greeted us upon entry. The hostess was very gracious and offered us our choice of a table. The outdoor setting is beautiful, serene and quiet. It feels a bit like a throwback from an earlier era. The service started off well; waned a bit as the restaurant got busier. We started with calamari as an appetizer, which was good. We appreciated the choice of 2 sauces vs the standard red sauce only.. We ordered the carbonera (a special that night) and the spaghetti with prawns. We liked the carbonara and the saffron cream sauce on the spaghetti~ both were yummy. Some of the prawns, however, presented a bit mushy. The manger came by at the end of our meal and checked in. We mentioned the prawns and she asked if we had already paid the bill and we had and we told her not to worry about it. We would like to give it another try some time in the future.

    From the oysters to the delicious entrees to the wine, we had a great time on the outdoor patio of The Depot.

    My fiancée and I always have date night in Napa or Sonoma and we chose the Depot Restaurant. We enjoy dining outside by the fire lamp. The food & service there was outstanding. Thank you for allowing us to dine in with you and your staff.

    Absolutely wonderful experience here. Food, ambiance and service were fantastic. We got the calamari, pulled mozzarella bruschetta, short ribs and rib eye. Everything was great.

    This was excellent food, service, ambiance — and the price was reasonable for such top notch food and service. Great for a quiet dinner for two, but still an outside patio dining setting that was not stuffy or cramped. We had a very pleasant dinner.
