The dining room was busy, but we were seated right away at a two top table near the kitchen door. Our server was extremely busy and took a long time to get to us. I wasn't super hungry so I ordered the lite portion of sauteed calamari with Cajun seasoning. I chose the steamed vegetables as my side and a pleasant little side salad with shrimp as my starter (ranch dressing was good). The calamari were wet. Spicy yes, with some butter in the ramekin, but mostly just soggy and rubbery. The steamed vegetables ($2 upcharge) were also wet, just plain, steamed with zero seasoning and much improved when I added some butter and salt. I would prefer sliced carrots over these commercial bagged shreds that are difficult to eat. The broccoli was cooked perfectly though. Well, this certainly was a low carb lunch if nothing else. Husband had the cod sandwich with coleslaw and a cup of chowder. He was very excited about his fish sandwich, it was a big piece of cod battered and fried, on a nice big bun with some lettuce underneath. It came with coleslaw which is not his favorite but he did not substitute. It also came with a nice pickle wedge. The chowder was good, if a little thin. We paid the bill at the counter, where two young men were just hanging out. Have them help the servers, they are too busy to do a proper job and these two need something to do. I guess this restaurant is a locals favorite, I'm glad they are doing well but it was not the best meal I had in Long Beach.

The host told us the wait would be 20-30 mins, so we put our names in and kept walking, exploring the street until it was time to return. They're pretty quick bussing tables to turn over guests in order to seat new ones. The waitress took our order fairly quickly and we sat back, listen to the live musician and waited for the food. The price was higher than we'd like, but honestly it was about the same as every other restaurant in the town. The food came in a timely manner and was good. Restrooms were also clean and tended too, even with this large of a crowd. This is going to be one of the local restaurants we want to return to in the future. I kind of understand why they're so busy now!

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.

First time to this small beach town of Seaview, Long Beach, Wa. Stopped for dinner as they were…read moreopen until 9 p.m. We entered, seen, but no welcome! We waited and watched 2 waitresses walk by. Finally, one stopped and took us to a table, she was very nice and quickly brought us water and a place setting. The other waitress who did not acknowledge us, started yelling at the waitress who sat us down. Screamed at her, which made the hairs on my neck stand. Restaurant was full of families and couples. I literally felt sorry for our waitress. I would have given a higher rating if we had not experienced the behavior. The restaurant had a sign that stated it had won the Best Chowder In Town 2025. Which is the reason we decided to give it a try. Our food was delayed, unsure why, maybe to do with other waitress, who knows. But, 40 minutes for Chowder/Fish Taco and a Shrimp 'Empanada seemed a bit much. But, the food was very good. I don't know if we'll ever come back to this restaurant, but others should try for their own perspective. I Sincerely hope the rude waitress is no longer there.

Three delicious prawn tacos, so far only place I've found that does the batter dipped fried prawn tacos since having them when I visited my parents in Yuma, AZ & we would go to Los Algodones, Mexico. They were the greatest, along with the little serving of chips & salsa, even the water was crystal clear with no chlorine taste. Only one waitress plus a guy helping with everything, ran the whole floor and was very responsive to everyone, even checked on me for more water. The ambience was nothing exciting, but everything including restroom were clean, would have been a 3 to 4 star except the shrimp tacos blew it out of the water, will definitely be back again...

Had to wait to be seated and then told to pick a table. We prefer a slice of lemon in our water and had to remind the server. We ordered both a 1-piece and a 2-piece halibut and chips with a cup of chowder. The fish & chips came out quickly. Nice and hot. The slaw is more like a carrot and cabbage salad with a slight Mexican flavor accent. I believe portions are out of balance as there was way more slaw than fish on both platters. The chowder was thick and creamy and clam forward in flavor. A good mix of celery potato and clam. If there had not been oyster crackers I would say it needed more veg & clams to give texture to the chowder base. The fish was battered and came out hot and crispy. The portions were disappointingly small with a big price. The tarter was very chunky so not great for dipping. Overall, it was good food but I don't think I would go back.
