Awesome food, amazing wine and beer! Could easily be the best restaurant in Long Beach! read more

We have been going to the Depot for several years every time we visit Seaview for razor clamming. The food is always delicious and the service is very good. This review and the one star is due to a situation that happened to my daughter while sitting at the bar on Saturday, April 12, 2025. Her male friend was also with us. After her friend ordered a drink that had dried fruit in it, the bartender pulled out a piece of the dried apple and turned it to make it look like lower female anatomy, and gave it to my daughter and very suggestively said to her "isn't this very inappropriate?", while putting the piece to his lips and smelling it. I answered yes, you are very inappropriate, although my daughter was not paying him much attention, so did not realize what he was suggesting. We left shortly after. We had a reservation for the following evening, which I considered cancelling, but did not want to penalize the restaurant for one employee's actions. When we showed up for our reservation, my daughter talked to the owner about what had happened the previous evening, and while she was talking to the owner, the same bartender walked by her, whispered "Bon Appetite" while brushing his hand along her body. She immediately said something, and the owner DID NOTHING. Her only response was "don't worry, he will be gone after next week." No apology nor any attempt to rectify the situation. This review is solely based on the ownership's lack of caring or thought for their customers and allowing inappropriate behavior from their employees without consequence. At the very least, he should have been told to leave the premises that evening. Needless to say, we will not be back. Also, my daughter reviewed the restaurant on Google and Yelp, and both reviews were removed. We will see if TA allows this one to stand. read more

By far, the best restaurant in the area - amazing food and great service! We spend over a week in the neighborhood and tried almost every place we could find - this was by far the very best - the only place that truly stood out as a high end and classy food. The service was great and, most importantly, highly knowledgeable of dishes and ingredient. If you are in the area and feel like an exceptional dinner - this is the place! read more

So I have to say that I am really disappointed that this isn't a positive review of the food. Unfortunately, we never got to try the food - at least not the regular menu. And we didn't go there for the "burger night" ... We had researched this and made reservations in advance as today was our anniversary. We came down to this spot ant the Italian spot in Oceanside. I won't name them in this review for a different restaurant - but you can find them. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Bottom line - the place looked cool from the outside and even better from the inside. The tables were close, but not too close. The bar looks like an excellent option. The ambiance was as advertised, and the reason we ended up booking here[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. BUT, I wish we hadn't and had booked the other - which was not available by the time we had to make other arrangements ... sigh. We walked and were seated and were told things had changed to a "burger night" - which seemed cool until they told us that meant that ONLY burgers were available. WHAT? ... the website doesn't even mention a burger night. We reserved for finer dining - not burgers. They have a great burger truck up the street outside another spot. The hostess was sweet. She said she tried to call everyone earlier in the day but blamed the storm. I don't believe that at all and the embarrassed'ish look she gave confirmed that. I was okay with her saying it tho as it clearly would not be a decision she would have made and she was clearly covering for an owner, chef, and/or boss (likely all of these) who musta decided to phone one in. Doesn't matter really as they can make that decision. Did kinda dampen our otherwise planned anniversary night - but we found another, unaffiliated spot and had a really good time with good food. Not the experience we were looking for, but I'd go back. The decision we control is whether to support them. While it won't make a difference to their business and I'm sure they won't care, we won't support them. My advice is merely that you call them and confirm your expectations before you're as surprised as we were. We just made reversions for a "make up" at the Italian spot. Sincerely wish things had gone differently. Wouldn't plan a special night there. read more

This place is a gem just off the beaten path. Found it through yelp or we would've missed. It. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Had a great meal had great service nice atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will definitely be back next time. We're in town. read more

food and service is always great. been coming here for ten years. this time August 19th, 2025, we now have a negative. The drinks: one margarita and one martini were very expensive (ok) but they were 2/3 volume of what they used to be. This was a big disappointment and would make us decide a different spot for our anniversary next year. [[HIGHLIGHT]]also don't plan to have drinks and appetizers at the bar now.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] keep in mind the food is excellent ! read more

Great food, decent wine list. The restaurant felt unique and authentic! Yummy seafood options and good service. A less touristy and higher quality restaurant near Long Beach. Not pictured but they also had some delicious sounding rotating specials! read more

The Depot Restaurant - Clams Bucatini - New American Near Me - Seaview, Washington

During our beach trip, we had a few memorable meals, and this was one of them. It was pretty busy, but we called and they said they could seat us outdoors. We weren't sure what that meant, but we were hungry and options were limited as we made zero reservations. When we arrived, we were taken to a covered, heated, intimate deck area. It didn't feel like it was outdoors. Our food and drinks came rather quickly, and every person was pleasantly surprised. You can't go wrong with the steak. It was perfectly cooked & flavorful. We didn't think it would be very kid-friendly, but it absolutely was. We'll be back! read more

After doing some research on Yelp, we found out that the depot Restaurant is the only fine dining restaurant (with really good food) in the Long Beach/Seaview area. So we made a reservation and headed over for dinner. The dinner was great. The restaurant has old timey charm and the servers were very friendly. Since we sat in the dining room, we got to see the chef doing his magic thru the kitchen window! We shared the scallops, clam chowder, and crab Mac and cheese appetizers, the rib eye special entree, and the blueberry cobbler a la mode. I really enjoyed the appetizers; the scallop was tender and the mango sauce really elevated the flavor. The clam chowder was neither too floury or creamy, was full of fresh clams and it's one of the best I've had! The Mac n cheese was crunchy on top, creamy and full of cheese, pasta and fresh crab. The rib eye steak was super tender with blue cheese butter on top. The blueberry cobbler was a bit unexpected because instead of a crunchy topping, it was more like a moist muffin. Overall, we enjoyed our food. However, because of the heat today, it was around 92 degrees inside because they have no air conditioning. If it's hot, opt to sit under the covered patio outside. Also, make sure and get reservations because we counted at least 15 parties that were turned away without them. read more

The Depot Restaurant - The crab Mac and cheese has generous amount of fresh crab meat! - New American Near Me - Seaview, Washington

Happen to be in LB for a few days and had to visit one of our favorite dining spots .. The Depot. As usual it didn't disappoint! My wife ordered Clam Chowder as a starter & I had the house salad. The salad is really good but the Clam Chowder was killer! I actually think it's the best chowder I've ever had. We follow that with Clam linguine & Singapore prawns. The prawns were cooked in a Thai sauce that was super yummy (wife's words), lol. The linguine had razor & Willapa Bay Steamer Clams and it was delicious. The only reason I'm not giving this dining experience a 5 is because of our sitting. We arrived before 6:00 & 80% of the tables were empty, yet they gave us a tiny table at the end of the bar. We asked if we could have one of the other tables and the waitress said "no" they were reserved for other people that had requested them. " Ok ... note to everybody" .. don't use Open Table, call in & make sure you don't get the "tiny bar table"! Evidently you can get reserved seating. read more

The perfect execution of Northwest atmosphere and cuisine. The Depot offers a great wine selection, with great Columbia Valley & Walla Walls selections available by the glass. Our server was top notch; always friendly and efficient. Each table starts with a wonderful crusty bread served with EVOO & balsamic. We ordered the Peruvian Mango Sea Scallops as an appetizer, and what an amazing balance of sweet and spicy. The scallops themselves were perfectly seared, and full of flavor on their own. Next I went with the Depot House Greens, which consisted of a nice mix of greens, lightly dressed with their house vinaigrette; and topped with candied walnuts and bleu cheese. I was a little worried before trying, because bleu cheese can easily overpower, but everything was kept in balance. Simple, yet delicious. For a main course, the Southern Comfort Pork caught my attention -- and oh my, was it ever incredible! This dish consists of pork shoulder slow braised in Southern Comfort BBQ sauce, served on yam mashers, and accompanied by jalapeño creamed corn topped with green onion, maple and bacon salsa. The end result is a perfectly warm and sweet pork roast that absolutely melts in your mouth. One of the best things I have *ever* eaten, for sure. Such a great pairing with the glass of Matthew's Cabernet I had. I really didn't have room for dessert, but when there is espresso chocolate pot de creme, I'll find room. The dish was presented well, but it fell short compared to some others I've had. This one had a thin consistency like chocolate pudding, rather than the thick and creamy renditions I've had. The flavor was still deep and cocoa-like, though; so I my taste buds were still happy. Overall it's an easy 5 stars, and definitely the best meal I've had on the Long Beach peninsula. My wife and I will likely make this a regular stop when we visit the area. read more

One of the two best fine-dining restaurants on the Peninsula. The rustic and historic vibe feels nostalgic and cozy, and they have outstanding service. We've eaten here three times and have never been disappointed. Took some guests visiting for a few days (Portlanders who know what a good restaurant is like) and they enjoyed it a lot. I think our favorite is the starter they call Oysters 'Scargot. Great assortment of creatively prepared seafood and a few beef and lamb items as well. The $$$ price guide is about right. Two people with a few drinks each and a filling dinner will probably run you $125 before tip, but that's in the ballpark for this sort of place. We will come back to this place over and over--especially for special occasions or when we have visitors. read more

Mehhh.. not sure if it was the fact that we had a later dinner or..? everything lacked the flavor I expected from the reviews and recommendations. service was off at first then others noticed we weren't receiving help and jumped in, our server seemed bothered a bit.

We love this place. Hidden gem. Definitely recommend reservations. The food is fantastic! Steak is always superb and their special of rockfish with mushroom crème sauce was the best my husband has ever had! I love the scallop appetizer. Jamie is a great chef! Service is also wonderful!!! read more

Wow. We had the most pleasant dinner experience at The Depot! Such friendly and cohesive waitstaff. Their menu focuses mainly upon seafood but offers an array of other dishes, to include lamb, duck, beef steak, and chicken. I enjoyed a perfectly prepared duck breast with fruit reduction and the most delicious wild rice pilaf I've had. Their oysters 'scargot was especially mind blowing. I wish this restaurant were closer to home. I'd love to visit regularly! read more

I was dining solo and sat at the bar... a fantastic experience! I had a local beer and the oysters 'scargot.... A beautiful pairing. The oysters were baked in butter and garlic in an escargot dish with fresh baguette. The ambiance and service was lovely. This was a weekend escape; I'll def go back. Walkable to the Sou'wester, a very charming place. read more

Enjoyed an evening out on a weekday for dinner at The Depot. This is a small local place the specializes in fresh catch so they may run out like in our case. But it was over indicated by the delicious other items on the menu. The Oysters Scargot was simply amazing so we ended up getting 2 along with the meatballs and clam chowder. Everything was delicious and the service was very good as well. They were compassionate to running out of the fresh catch and made everything just fine. This is a true gem. read more

Ohmygoodness. So as a Vegas girl who used to travel to New York on business, finding really amazing food, cooked to temp, presented well, and with a touch of flair...has been a challenge for me. I so often feel I'm a world with no tastebuds. Everyone will rave about a place, and I'll find it...well, bland. We were staying in Astoria, and I really wanted some great food. We had been to the restaurants I love there already this trip so I looked up what was available in Washington. I found the Depot. The reveiws were good...I called for a reservation. No answer, but I left a message and we thought we'd drive over and see if we could just get in. On the way, the call came. A very pleasant voice, offering their seatings for tonight. I was excited that they could seat us immediately. Upon walking in, the place was ...well historic. The building was built in 1888, and the original floors are there, and several great period pieces. The menu is amazing. It is not overblown, it's simple but ...it notes things like seasonings and sauce ingredients. I was impressed. Then the soup came. Oh my....it was boiling in the crock. Served piping hot. Melty cheese....perfectly saute'd onions...oh goodness. Then the dinner--a steak cooked as it should be, vegetables cooked al dente' and an au gratin stack that made me cry. I wish I had two stomachs...it was really that good. I would drive the 1.5 hours just for dinner. It's THAT good. Dessert was also amazing. Oh, and waitstaff...present but not overbearing. It was beautiful as a dining experience. In fact, I'd say this meal made my entire vacation week. Thank you...we will be back. read more

Unique atmospheric beach restaurant with well crafted menu and beverages. Recommend reservations as seating is limited.

The clam chowder is the best thing I have ever put in my mouth!! In fact the chowder was so good my husband forgot our credit card just so he could drive back and get more to go! These guys are great too gave us dessert for our anniversary! Really nice restaurant and was busy and we didn't have reservations so we had to sit outside, but it was lovely they had heaters and it only leaked a tiny bit when it was pouring rain outside so I was happy! read more

You know it's a good restaurant when you need reservations at 4:30 on a Monday night. Best calamari I have ever had! We did not order the ribeye because we came for seafood but almost wish we had. Totally worth the drive!!! read more

We made our spring beach trip to Long Beach this year, and my wife picked The Depot to try for our semi-official dinner out. An interesting menu, as well as a nice selection of wines and specialty cocktails, offer something for nearly any taste. We were both really impressed with the ambiance, the staff, the menu, and the food when served. A bit noisy when packed full, but the happy noise of people really enjoying themselves. I would guess that it's often packed. I would recommend reservations any night, we were there on a Monday and the restaurant filled up fast. The staff was attentive but not intrusive and allowed us to move at a casual pace, the food came out at a relaxed but appropriate pace. We didn't feel like there was a wait. I had a Basque-themed smoked tomato and seafood stew that consisted of a very flavorful smoky, tomato-based broth with steamer clams and shrimp, with a centerpiece consisting of a generous portion of ling cod topped with a second, very tasty sauce. I like spicier versions of cioppinos, Bouillabaisse, and chowders, and this suited me perfectly. It rivaled my North Beach SF favorites from years ago. It was offered as a special, and the name certainly fits. My wife had their crispy parmesan chicken served over smashed potatoes (lightly mashed) with a very tasty marinara topping. She (always the pro cook) suggests that the marinara might be better served on the side to avoid the breading losing its crispness and separating from the chicken. It was still delicious. We've made it to the Long Beach peninsula at least once a year, sometimes twice, for almost 20 years. This is without a doubt our best casual fine dining experience yet. We'll be back. read more

We were in town and going on a salmon trip. We were looking for somewhere to eat and chose The Depot. It did not disappoint. It was Super good.

We were early for our reservation for our anniversary dinner but they took us right in and sat us down. We both had the warm spinach salad and it was the best I've ever eaten! My husband had the Rib Eye with mashed potatoes and I had the grilled salmon over Parmesan polenta. My husband's Rib Had had an unusual smoky taste which he wasn't fond of but the steak was tender. My salmon meal was delicious, I liked everything about it. I would definitely recommend this restaurant! read more

We've been going there for years! The new owners are amazing, nothing has been lost in transition! The new owner/chef gave my wife a crab cake for free when he saw how indecisive she was between the that and the rockfish, which she chose and was amazing. The restaurant is amazing, warm and inviting! There is nothing better than a nice hot meal there while the wind, cold, and rain are beating on the windows! The servers are amazing! I have never been disappointed there, and feel comfortable saying that anyone who enjoys good food and nice staff, would never regret patronizing this establishment!! read more

The service and food were top notch. In a small little coastal town, my expectation for great food is pretty low but this far exceeded our expectations. The clam chowder was probably the best I've had. I can't even explain how good it was. We got their house red wine, and it was really good. I got the special ribeye with blue cheese butter and omg yum! The vegetables could have been seasoned better, but that was the only suggestion I'd have. Service was so attentive, I was super impressed. Very cute venue and overall exceptional experience. read more
