The DEPOT Restaurant

Great food and service ruined by the fact that a chef with long, damaged hair didn't wear a hair net. Love finding scraggly hair cooked into my anniversary dinner, ruining my appetite and the whole experience. Definition of fine dining. Maybe you enjoy eating the hair of strangers. By all means, treat yaself! To all who appreciate hairless meals, scope the kitchen staff and dine at your own risk. My plate was comped (thank you) and staff was apologetic (appreciated), but the apology should have come from the kitchen, and the real solution isn't comping the plate but preventing the issue by WEARING HAIR NETS. Sorry to have to write this review, but it could have been avoided. On the plus side, many gluten free options (big reason we came). Hoping kitchen practices improve.

Halibut was delicious, polenta was wonderful, and the oysters were incredible. Downside was the table was very uneven, the beer was flat, and the meatballs were too seasoned to eat. Waiter was friendly except for when we asked if their polenta (not on the menu) was gluten free. I have an allergy and get sick very easily. He said he assumed so, it was corn. We just wanted to make sure the spices were safe. He acted a little condescending. Cute vibe though and good food.
