About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
The Depot Restaurant - Seaview features casual fine dining offering a Chef's Table to watch award winning Chef Jamie Gisby perform his magic from a display kitchen. The covered heated deck adds outdoor seating. A northwest and international wine list offers wines by the glass or bottle, 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 8-seat counter reminding one of the Orient Express. Northwest Palate claims, "The Depot 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 eat here just about every time we are in seaview as we have a home there. Almost always very good but it’s really nice to see some specials! I had the rockfish special and it was delicious. My mother had the bucatini. She enjoyed it although a bit spicy for her. Service was good. It was a bit chilly in there and we asked if they could turn off the overhead fan, but we’re unable to accommodate the request.🤔 (thankfully I had my mom bring her coat which she wore throughout dinner …. ) Anyway, the Depot is always a solid place to go get dinner and I recommend it. Best to make reservations

    All the dishes were well prepared, and I was easily able to order a gluten free dish. My portion of halibut was generous and very good. Though the restaurant was not large, our request to be placed at a "quiet" table was accommodated. Our wait person was busy as the evening progressed, but he took care of us adequately. We plan to return to the Depot again.

    We had the best experience for my husband’s birthday! We dined on a Monday evening. We split a variety of things including Thai calamari, fish tacos, Caesar salad, filet mignon and peach cobbler. Every single bite was incredible! Our service didn’t miss a beat and everyone was so kind and helpful. Our drinks were good, we were very full and being from the Seattle area, the bill was what I expected given what we ate. The Depot rivaled some of our small boutique restaurants in the city and we will absolutely return next time we are in town. What a gem! I grew up going to The Ark and have missed it. The Depot is my new Ark!

    Ingredients were very fresh and the menu was well thought out but I found the seasoning on everything to be lacking which is a shame because it could be so much better if executed correctly. Chowder was decent but needs twice as many clams to be worth $17 and it was a little too watery for my tastes. Rack of lamb was disappointing as it was overcooked and lacked any sort of seasoning for a $50 dish. My biggest issues outside of the food were: 1. Sanitation bucket is kept right next to the drinking water (inches away) and it was right in front of my bar seat. Granted it seemed like the bus boy was very careful about keeping it in the bucket when he wrung out the towels but still isn’t that a health code violation? 2. One of the cooks was using her phone during down times at dinner service. Unless she cleans her phone before service I don’t think it’s very sanitary to be handling food and using your phone without washing your hands.

    Attentive friendly staff and solid dinner. The catch of the day and scallop appetizer were particularly well prepared. Wine list is not long but good value. Nice evening.
