The Depot Sonoma

We went to the Pizza and Pinot night. The wait people were awesome. Salad, a nice size pizza, wine and dessert. I thought a good value! Food was really good. Overall a really nice experience.

We were happily greeted by the hostess and congratulated on Annivery. The restaurants atmosphere is very lovely, lots of outdoor seating, with heaters, and a large reflection pond and landscaped. We were seated next to outdoor seating behind glass that also was the run way from the kitchen. The bus-young-man was pleasant and attentive. Our first disappointment was on line the menu showed cioppino, the waiter said we rotate dishes, didn’t say that when we looked or we missed it. So second choice was A pasta dish, when it came we asked where’s the bread, (this is an Italian restaurant) they said we only have focaccia, we were charged. The pasta dish was not very flavorful. The braised beef was excellent, I asked for a replacement starch that was on the menu, he said he’d ask the chef. The calamari was good. Later a local told me they had sold recently and the chef is new. One, small pour of wine and 2 beers and dinner just under $200 with tip. Wont be back for a while, see what food improvements we hear about.

Fabulous food. Everything was delicious. Beautiful outdoor setting. The tables were far enough apart to offer some privacy (unlike many restaurants these days where the tables are extremely close). The best part was the outstanding service. Since covid I've gotten used to poor service even in upscale, fancy restaurants. Not only was the staff uniformly pleasant, courteous, personable and knowledgeable, but they were attentive without being overly intrusive into our conversation. Also, we did not feel rushed through the meal. The food was served in a reasonable amount of time and the different courses were paced perfectly. We will be back!

Depot was an amazing experience. The staff and food were amazing.

We celebrated a birthday at The Depot and had a wonderful time. The service was outstanding...very attentive to every detail. The food was delicious; excellently prepared and served. We all enjoyed the outdoor ambiance of the patio, pool, and fountain. The waitstaff surprised our birthday girl singing a great rendition of Happy Birthday. Great way to end a delightful and delicious evening!
