We had a delightful evening at The Depot Restaurant. The staff was so kind and accommodating, the food was delicious and the atmosphere perfect! We so enjoyed conversing with Susan, the manager, and we loved Sylvester, our waiter. Would love to return when we come back to Sonoma!

As old-timers, we could see that there had been an upgrade. We started with Calamari, which was crispy on lettuce, making it look like more. My fish was in parchment paper, which made it hard to eat. My wife had the Shrimp with pasta. As in Europe, the Shrimp was not shelled. The dinner was very good, but our entrees were hard to eat without getting our hands dirty.

Originally picked "The Depot" since they had cioppino on their website menu. Come to find out they had replaced it with a fish dish. Website needs to be updated. Overall service was great & they were accommodating after the temperature in the patio got too cold.

Excellent food with perfectly executed gnocchi and a pork chop “to die for “. Unfortunately, it was spoiled by an excessively long wait between the starter and main coarse, otherwise it would have received 5 stars.

Una joya para ocasiones especiales Desde el momento en que entramos, el ambiente nos envolvió con una vibra relajada pero elegante, perfecta para una primera cita. La comida fue simplemente espectacular: bien presentada, con sabores auténticos y porciones generosas. Lo que realmente marcó la diferencia fue el servicio. El personal no solo fue amable, sino que se tomó el tiempo de ayudarme a planear un pequeño detalle sorpresa al final de nuestra cena… ¡y salió perfecto! Fue ese tipo de atención que convierte una buena cena en una experiencia inolvidable. 100% recomendado para quienes buscan más que solo buena comida. Aquí te ayudan a crear momentos.

So glad the Depot reopened after Covid. A hidden gem with charm. Food quality is even better than with previous ownership and it was excellent before. Kudos to the chef and kitchen staff. Waiter Charles and his support team were great. Thank you for a great experience and my family will return again and again !

Delightful experience, so quaint and great service. Food was very good. Fish was a bit too salty for me to enjoy, but my husband loved it. And the desert was to die for!
