Welcome

Old-world Charm and Warmth in a Sophisticated Adult Setting.

waterfrontDepot-3

When I set out to establish The Waterfront Depot, I wanted to create a place where adults could find a safe haven from the storms of everyday life, a place that offered urban sophistication amidst the warmth and old world charm of the Pacific Northwest coastal culture.

Call 541-902-9100 for reservations after 3 p.m. – Full dinner is served until 10 p.m.

Moules and Frites

Belgian Style Mussels with French fries

Moules_frites

This popular dish of mussels and fries originated in Belgium. We serve our Moules and Frites in the traditional way with a small stock pan and a side of perfectly made fries. The mussels are cooked in white wine, herbed butter, tomatoes with a touch of clam juice and spices. We are sure you will enjoy them. In both Belgium and northern France, Moules-frites are superbly popular. We serve them up with a garlic aioli for dipping.

Clam Chowder

With all modesty we believe our chowder is the best. It’s loaded with clams, potatoes and fresh parsely in an amazing creamy broth with hints of lobster. Served with bread for dipping. Totally satisfying.

    Just wanted to say Marijo and I have been regular customers (usually every other friday when we can get a sitter!) since we moved to Florence almost two years ago. We love you all…we love the food…we love The Depot. I get extremely disappointed if something comes up and we cannot make it for our usual Friday date night, but fortunately that has only happened 3-4 times in two years. We miss Paul! But everyone there is great. Hope Nyra is back soon!

    See you tomorrow at 7pm!

Improved View

wfd-windows

We have had to replace or big bay windows in the front of the Waterfront Depot. We updated them to modern windows to help with keeping you warmer during the cooler months. The biggest benefit though is the better view of the Siuslaw River and the Siuslaw River Bridge. We are sure you will enjoy sitting in the front of the house when you visit and enjoy the best view of the river in Florence.


The New Landing

We are wrapping up construction on our new heated outdoor landing. We will now be able to offer you a warm place to wait while your table is being prepared for you. While you wait you can enjoy a cocktail or refreshment from the bar.
