Reservations are recommended, although we walked in and it was just a few minutes wait at 8pm. We didn't try their namesake Pickled Fish, but we did get local steamer clams, clam chowder and their schnitzel. The clam chowder had huge honking things of clam! They have a nice alcoholic and non-alcoholic drink list and the ambience at night is very chill. Ask for a window seat if you can, the views are amazing.

We happened to be staying at the hotel on the same floor, so it was kind of neat to be able to walk down a hallway after a meal and be back 'home', just like that. Food is good, if a bit pricey. The value is there and the service is good. We went for dinner one evening and breakfast at least once during a 3 night stay. It didn't take too long to come out either. Can get a little noisy when its a full house.

The Depot has always been one of our favorite places for special occasions on the Long Beach…read morePeninsula. We own a house in Long Beach, and during the time we lived there full-time, this was our go-to spot for anniversaries and my husband's birthdays. It exudes that cozy, historic Seaview charm that invites you to relax and linger...warm, intimate, and full of character without being over the top. A true small-town and now not so hidden gem. My husband is a fan of their Old Fashioneds, particularly those with a smoked maple twist, and he often gravitates back to the slow-braised pork. Their current Southern Comfort Pork dish is just his style: slow-braised pork shoulder served over brown sugar yam mash with jalapeño creamed corn, green onion, and maple-bacon salsa. That's comfort food crafted with real culinary skill. As someone who follows a plant-based diet, I truly appreciate how The Depot makes an effort to accommodate vegetarian and vegan diners in a way that feels genuine rather than forced. Last winter, I was thrilled to discover the ginger-coconut soba noodles, they were flavorful, satisfying, and perfectly balanced. Their current mika soba noodles with garlic-ginger coconut cream, vegetables, toasted cashews, and cilantro are exactly the kind of dish I'm thankful to find on a Peninsula menu. I also have fond memories of Burger Wednesdays from our time on the Peninsula. It's incredible how satisfying a customized portobello burger can be when a kitchen understands texture and seasoning especially in a place where plant-based options can still be scarce. The food is fantastic, but the service deserves a special mention. While Peninsula restaurants are known for their good service, The Depot's service is exceptional: polished, friendly, warm, and just the right amount of attentive. Although we now reside in California, we plan to make another reservation when we return to the Long Beach Peninsula in July. I'm already looking forward to their summer menu. Note: I've forgotten to take photos so the ones on this review are from the restaurants social media - definitely a reflection of our last meal at The Depot without the drinks.

It happened to be the evening of a Seahawks game-so it was crowded. The staff was totally on the ball and seated us in a booth in a minute. The food was delicious.

Our meals came out promptly and were delicious. Try the fish tacos! I'd come back again if I visit the area again.

Unfortunately - and it pains me to write this, but - the Lost Roo has lost its luster…read more Maybe they were having a bad night tonight. We arrived before 5:00 pm, and it took a while to even put an order in. Even though we were sitting in the bar and there were a LOT of servers/bussers/etc. We ordered the Mushroom burger, the Chicken Bacon Guac burger and the Prime Rib Dip. Let's start with the pros - the Chicken Bacon Guac burger was pretty good! But the Prime Rib Dip had something like shredded meat on it, not sliced meat. So, when you dipped it in the Au jus, chunks of meet fell into the Au jus. Be ready to fish them out with a fork! The Mushroom burger was an exceptionally thin burger. Our server asked how we wanted it cooked. But it didn't matter. A burger that thin was coming out well done, no matter what. It had mushrooms on it, but not many at all. And we ordered the Cajun Tater Tots. Tonight, it was just like someone cooked tater tots, then shook some seasoning on them, and maybe the lid fell off the seasoning? They were drenched in some kind of Cajun-adjacent spice. We had recently been telling visiting guests that the Lost Roo was the one consistent, reasonably priced restaurant on the peninsula. We're going to have to stop telling people that now. Sadly, it'll be a while before we go back.

Hubs immediately spotted the "Milkshakes" sign and requested that as a "starter." Though certainly considered a tad bit older than a child, he also honed in on the Grilled Cheese sandwich with fries and asked if that could be an "adult" offering. 'Sure! It's one of my favorites!' was the smiling reply. Despite the cold rain, I was in the mood for some cool greens, so I ordered the Northwest Chicken salad w/ grilled chicken, pecans, "craisins", red cabbage and feta. It also came with a side of garlic toast, the same style used for his cheddar cheese sandwich. Well, THAT was all very delicious! Their baked goods looked tempting, but the rain had eased and we still had a couple hours ahead on the road. So I snapped a few pics of the adorable decor then bid farewell. If we find ourselves along Highway 30, 14 miles east of Astoria, in the quiet little enclave of Knappa, we will surely stop in again. Cheers! "CC"

So fresh, perfectly seasoned, and the tobiko exploded with flavor when bit into. Extraordinary. Next- most of the table had Gorgonzola burgers. Everyone agreed on of the top 3 burgers enjoyed ever. Cob salad... WOW. I am a self proclaimed Cobb Salad aficionado. This was the best I've ever had. The fresh made Gorgonzola dressing was perfection. I don't think you could go wrong with any of the cocktails. We had several different drinks with our group and were very pleased with them all. The ONLY downside, we had a 4yo & a 2yo with us. The restaurant is not terribly kid friendly. There is no kids menu and the girls were antsy and sure they were going to die of boredom and starvation. The staff was SO SPECTACULAR, they got us chips to quiet hungry bellies and made smaller cheeseburgers for them which they devoured happily. Go have a special dinner. It's different than any place we've gone to and some of the best food we've had the pleasure to enjoy. (I wish we could have gone to the bar. It looked really cool.)
