This Upscale Restaurant In A Former Oregon Train Station Offers An Unforgettable Dining Experience

Dining should be an experience, don't you think? Because you can make a meal at home or pick up a bite to eat pretty much anywhere, so why not make it special? Especially when it comes to fine dining. And guess what? There's an upscale, fine dining restaurant in Oregon that not only boasts a magnificent menu of fresh-caught seafood and locally sourced ingredients, but it offers one of the most unforgettable dining experiences, too. This is the magic of Oregon's Waterfront Depot Restaurant, a fine dining establishment housed in, if you can believe it, a converted train station harkening back to the late 1800s. Let's take a closer look at the Waterfront Depot in Florence, OR.

Located in a beautifully restored train station along the Siuslaw River in Florence, Oregon, The Waterfront Depot is a fine dining establishment that's truly one-of-a-kind.

One of Historic Old Town Florence’s most romantic, cozy, and charming destinations; inside, the restaurant retains much of the features from its former life as a train depot, with well-worn floors and wood-framed windows creating an unforgettable ambiance.

The restaurant offers upscale takes on classic American fare with PNW flair...

...as well as an amazing array of bespoke cocktails!

The menu features delicious dishes such as braised lamb shank, fresh crab cakes, and classic burgers...

...and, of course, lots of fresh catches from the Oregon Coast, like Dungeness crab, local oysters, and steamed clams.

Don't forget to save room for dessert. The cakes here are legendary, with Tres Leches one of the restaurant's signatures! It's available by the slice, too, so you get a few for your table to share! Everything on the Waterfront Depot menu is mouthwatering.

In addition to its historic locale and stellar menu, what takes the dining experience at The Waterfront Depot over the top is, of course, the views. The restaurant is located right on the Florence waterfront, treating diners to jaw-dropping views of the Siuslaw River and its eponymous bridge.

There's no place quite like The Waterfront Depot. It's exquisite and extraordinary in every way. Kind of like the beautiful Beaver State.
