The food was awful!…read more We came in from Moses Lake for the day, wanted to have a good dinner before heading back so we checked reviews of local steak places. Super thrilled for a good steak, we chose the Depot. Only to be utterly disappointed. :( If you are watching your sodium intake DO NOT order the grilled brussel sprouts, or French onion soup! This restaurant has a quaint passenger car outside for a nice touch but not open for service today. The interior of the restaurant was nice brick with good ambience. The servers looked the part but the hostess took 20min to seat us while she scarfed down some food within eye shot of us while we stood waiting. It was cringe to see line cooks and chefs with their loose hair flapping everywhere! I was wondering how the college looking kid could even see what he was cooking with his straggly grungy curly hair all over his face and over his eyes. He was cooking the carrots. We were sat at the bar, service was fast, so I will give them that. We were a bit confused as to who exactly our sever was as there were three but didn't technically introduce themselves. We ordered crab cakes, grilled brussel sprouts, French onion soup, and shared the 18 oz. rib eye with two sides, mashed potatoes and grilled carrots. The rib eye was the thinnest cut we have ever seen. The soup was extremely salty, so I only took a few bites. The brussel sprouts were charred black and no longer green. The burnt taste was disgusting. The mustard they paired them with did not do it any favors. There are 3 crab cakes to an order, alone the cakes were edible but they laid them over a smear of some nasty flavorless oily mayo sauce. They paired them with thinly julienned apples which were yummy for the few strands that did not touch the mayo spread. We got mashed potatoes which were bland, hubby did not eat his and I only took a couple bites of mine. We love grilled carrots especially when cooked in small cast iron dish but these carrots were paired with some funky cream sauce that looked like sour cream but cannot describe what it was. Carrots would've been nice if they didn't over power with rosemary or thyme. They failed to mention the huge service charge that they added to our ticket which was $32 onto our $212.00 tab. Our server even asked if we were interested in leaving an additional tip for the server that poured our water. Nope! We won't be back anytime soon. Hope it's a better experience for others.

First time visit as we were craving some Brazilian BBQ in tri cities area…read more As a fan of Fogo de Chao in big cities all over, I was hoping for similar experience. Food quality was at par with my expectation and truly enjoyed the full dining experience. If there was one thing that separates this place from other similar places is that it's not as hectic and busy so we actually had more variety of meat cuts more frequently. Our chef Kali was amazing along with her staff and gave us extra attention you'd never get from a large chain place.

We usually order the full meal and try different meats during our meal. I really enjoy the grilled pineapple that is served during the protein service. Some cuts of meat are superior to others and some have seasoning that I enjoy and others - not so much. But that is what is great about this restaurant, you can just say no to the meats that you don't want or cannot eat and get a double serving of what you do like. The beef rib (I believe it is a boneless short rib) is divine. The service is spectacular. The two servers who were working our table, Omar and Callie, were very friendly and informative. They both ensured that we had a nice experience for my birthday. I also heard occasional laughter from the kitchen which was nice. Happy people who are enjoying themselves makes for the best teamwork. We'll continue to go back when we want a treat.

We were promptly seated but then probably sat for 10 minutes before our waitress came over. She was friendly but perhaps had too many tables to cover. Long delays to get drinks. We tried to order another round of drinks shortly before our dinner arrived. Our dinner came and we once again tried to get drinks. When our waitress came to check on the dinner we asked about the drinks again. Finally as we were done with our dinner we requested she cancel the drink order. 5 minutes later she came back with our drinks and said the bartender just poured them. Disappointing.....

If sat there empty most of the meal- aka they came back several times to take our food order, give us food, and check in before they finally filled it again. Drinks were decent, can't really mess up a mimosa I guess. I thought the food was gross and bland, I didn't eat it. The rest of my party liked their food though.

I originally wrote this review two years ago, so perhaps things have changed since then…read more When we visited to celebrate our wedding anniversary, we ordered the bisque (tasty!) as well as the chef's special (coulotte) and the salmon, each with mashed potatoes; both entrees were good. The brown butter cake, which our server described to us as "if a funnel cake and a churro had a baby", was the highlight of dinner. The atmosphere is where the restaurant is lacking, especially in two areas: We sat in the booth underneath a high window, which had a black covering that produced a weird optical illusion from our angle. The other issue was that the bright white bulbs in the chandeliers bounced off the painted cinder-block walls in a way that could cause a migraine. Even after our server dimmed the lights for us, I chose to wear my husband's baseball cap to prevent any vision issues.

I had the clam chowder, Caesars salad, and one of the specials, which was a boneless New York steak sourced locally , ordered medium rare. Oh, lets not forget the dirty Martini I ordered off the cuff, neglecting to read their cocktail menu, an oversight I later regretted. This was all very enjoyable: the in-house Caesars dressing practically a food group on its own with the proper amount of garlic, and the clam chowder so deliciously creamy it could give Seattle chowder a run for its money. The steak, at perfect temperature, was very juicy and tasty indeed. I regretted not studying their cocktail list before ordering my go-to Martini. It is extremely sophisticated; I have never seen its equal; and I would have loved to try one or two of these cocktails had I not reached my limits that evening. I loved the decor, an old school set back into the old west, and the dim atmosphere. Service was very attentive and top notch. When in Pendleton, do yourself a favor and spend some time at Virgil's; I don't think you will regret it.

The food was delicious! The talent the Chef had in preparing it was excellent!…read more However...immediately when we were seated, the Chef asked us to join him in prayer. Really? We are Christian, but honestly this felt inappropriate in a restaurant, Then, immediately after the awkward prayer, he asked for us to donate money for families in Thailand and pointed out a cup he had on his cart filled with $20 bills. This is ALL happening prior to beginning our food. This felt again...awkward and inappropriate! One person in our party did give him $20, anyway, Good food, masterful chef, but due to the awkwardness of prayer and requesting $$$, I would not recommend.,.nor will we be back.

We had to keep telling people the same things over and over. Things like "someone already said they were getting that for us" not that we needed to keep asking for things! Important difference.) The manger, I think, kept saying he would get things then ended up over committing to tasks and someone else would end up doing it. This isn't a complaint just something I'd suggest having a discussion with with staff and change- lots of business do this because they want to be attentive but it comes off sloppy and messy and just ends up interrupting the meal more than anything. Everyone was doing this with the best intention though. Only love and advice here! The drinks were very good. Loved seeing all the holiday themed stuff everywhere VERY VERY cute!!!! we loved the heart napkins and the whole vibe was 10/10. I thought my food was bland, everyone else loved theirs, so I won't dock starts for that. Excited to visit this place again next time we are in town. Edit: docked it a star over the owner passive aggressive immediate reply. Comes off like "shut up I'm right you're wrong." I've been in the industry over 20 years and have seen many place fail, flail, and have great success. The successful ones never have a manager or owner that is passive aggressive over a pretty nice review. I hope you learn to take criticism and your business thrives though! (If you were so busy you wouldn't have, or at minimum KNOW you wouldn't have, time talk to every one. I never once saw you "delegate" a task to someone else. I saw you repeatedly say you'd do a task then someone on staff notice it wasn't done the do it for you. You told the boss you'd seat us then wandered off to do whatever behind the bar and she sat us- her job you didn't need to butt into btw. You did say you'd get cheese and did it yourself. You came by a bunch to make sure our table, and every table we could see, was happy but it seemed more for ego than anything because you kept repeating how but YOU are from the second we walked in until we left. You said you'd get my father in law another drink then it simply never came but whatever we just left without another high priced cocktail on our bill, your loss. Trust your staff, take accountability, much love.) Edit again: the owner refuses to stop lying and saying he's "defending himself" more to that over on the google reviews. Staff is great, food is below mid, owner is beyond help. Edit again: just noticed he EDITED HIS REPLY TO ME to try to change the story that he wasn't as rude as before! So I added a screen shot. Talk about "MESSY." Do NOT support this clearly narcissistic owner! Lying, manipulating, gaslighting, and all over what was originally a four star review!!! Wow!!! Edit again: was browsing other reviews and the owner is flat out lying on other reviews too!!
