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.

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.
Find your way with this refreshing cocktail.
Shake all ingredients with ice and strain into a cocktail glass.
Just like the ones at the old soda fountain albeit for adults. Order this and be transported back in time.

Served in a bowl of rice covered with Peruvian Spiced Beef topped with mango chutney and cilantro. Served with a fresh side salad and a lime vinaigrette and hand made tortillas.
Generous portions of halibut, salmon, shrimp, clams and mussels. Served in our white wine creamy alfredo sauce tossed with pasta linguini.
The classic platter is one of our favorites. Three coconut shrimp, English style cod, clam chowder and perfect fries.
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.
What would you like to see on our appetizer menu? Here’s our current selections. We’re planning to shake it up a bit with a few new selections amidst some of the old. Email us with your Tapas or Appetizer Suggestions. Next time you want to go out but dinner is too much try one of our amazing appetizers.

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.
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.
Make sure to plan ahead and make reservations. Our restaurant has limited seating, however, there is usually room at the bar.
Make sure to ask about our Frequent Diner Cards. With these cards, when you buy 6 entrees you get the 7th for FREE.

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!
