We went to the waterfront depot based on the advice from our hotel staff and she was right...it is the best food in town. I ordered the crab encrusted grouper which was fantastic and my fiance ordered a cajun pasta that he thoroughly enjoyed as well. The place is really tiny though and a big hit with the locals so...

You will never be disappointed in the food here, but be prepared to squeeze into small quarters and eat in a very noisy atmosphere. You MUST have reservations, otherwise you risk not getting in. More

We had the crab encrusted Halibut. It was mouth watering delicious. My husband loved his dirty martini and my lemon Drops were to die for. We shared a piece of scrumptious berry layer cake. The meal was by far the best of our Trip! It is a cute restaurant. Our service was fantastic. More

We made a reservation based on advice of other reviewers. We were immediately seated but after 20 minutes, got our own water. After 30 minutes our cocktails arrived. After 45 minutes the waitress brought us the order for a different table. We then realized it was a table who had come in 20 minutes earlier and was being served after... More

All locals will tell you that the Waterfront Depot in Florence, OR is a wonderful experience, but you better have reservations. Having a small dining room, reservations are a MUST, but well worth the effort. From an equally small kitchen, some outstanding dishes are prepared - like Crab Encrusted Halibut. And the desserts are out of this world, so be... More

we were lucky to get into the restaurant on a sunday night. We sat at the bar. The food pricing is great value and the quality of the food is excellent. The bartender provided really good service. All round excellent but you need to get in early or somehow book. Well worth the trip advisor rating More
