Waterfront Depot Restaurant

Overall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Food: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The Steamer Mussels and Clams came in one of the best broths we have ever has. The Oysters Madrid were okay. The Crab-encrusted Alaskan Halibut was to die for, with a delicious sauce. The Marionberry White Cake, with cream cheese based frosting, was moist and not too rich.

Ambience: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Cute re-purposed house right on the water. Planned with care and attention to a cozy and impressive feeling.

Service: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Our server was one of the bartenders and he was funny and friendly, with a great education about the food offered on the menu!

The crab encrusted halibut was the best. It melted in my mouth. I don't like scallops, but I tried the scallops pasta that my wife got and I actually enjoyed eating scallops. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and would recommend it to anyone wanting to try good seafood.

The atmosphere, food and service are top notch! I recommend the pomegranate jalapeño infused margarita. 5 stars for the drink alone.
The chowder is delicious… not overly creamy. I loved the crab encrusted halibut as well. And this may sound ridiculous…. But the bathroom wallpaper… swoon. ❤️

What a great meal!
We walked in on a Wednesday night and we’re lucky to get a table after an hour wait. They take reservations so don’t be like me. The location was amazing with a view of the Siuslaw River Bridge. Don’t eat to late if you want the view and you want the view. You can even reserve a window seat. The apps where so good. The Calamari was cooked to perfection and the fried oysters were perfect. For dinner I had the crab encrusted halibut, my son had the seafood pasta and my mom had the Waterfront seafood platter. We each think we had the best plate which has never happened before. I still think my plate was the best. The local wine they paired was perfect. We had no room for dessert so we order two of them to go. This is the only restaurant you need to eat at if your visiting Florence for one night.

Wow! So tasty! We got the lime pepper shrimp and crab stuffed mushrooms for appetizers, so delicious! The garlic bread with pesto is good. Ordered the seafood pasta and salmon. Everything was soooo good. My partner loves carrot cake and said their carrot cake was the best he has ever had!
