Came here expecting your typical contemporary american flare and was surprised to see on the menu a japanese style hotpot with dipping sauce. I dismissed it pretty quickly thinking this is not a specialty of the restaurant, but given the thumbs up by the waitress and thinking i should settle for something lighter, I ended up getting swayed to get a seafood hotpot. While waiting for your food you get a basket of breads which was top notch. You get a combination of banana bread, a large crispy flat cracker, and what appears to be dinner rolls. I didnt try the dinner rolls, but everything else was solid. When the hotpot dish came out, it had a large combination of things. Shrimp, salmon, sea bass (??), scallop, two types of mushrooms, and bok choy all in a veggie broth. You also get 3 types of dips, which I cant recall what they were, and a bowl of rice with shredded nori. Everything was great! The dip went very well to compliment the simple seafood hotpot! Since Ive only had this dish, this is the only thing I can recommend, but Ill definitely come back again.

Great creative food. The service is excellent and well timed. I took relatives here and they loved it. Excellent food. A good wine selection. The Field Greens Salad is great, with goat cheese and a fine dressing. Their Filet Mignon and Lamb Chops are perfection. The Seafood Kabapotto with scallions and squash is delish.They smoke their own meat and make their own sausage, and such care shows in their food. Not to be missed.

We go hear for nearly every work event. It was annoying at first but the food it really good. Every time I come to this place, I explore the menu for a new fav. The owner is hysterical. He jokes with our Dr. literally EVERY TIME we come. Im still pissed about him closing Bufalo Fire Dept (another of his restaurants).

Good environment for a special occasion. Food is delicious with very generous portion sizes. The sea food and meat options were delicious. Expect to spend a few pretty pennies however. Service is as you would expect and friendly. Theres complimentary valet however there is free general parking across the street.

Came here for brunch after a Sunday morning hike. I died at The Kitchen after I ate the Kitchen Scramble and realized I have never had better. One day someone will make fun of me for being a man and eating brunch. I will respond by saying that The Kitchen knows no hate.

Authentic and very fresh Italian food with very friendly staff. You will feel at home here and the prices are reasonable. The mini shop location should not fool you , once inside you will feel like in Italy. And try the scilian red wine for sure Highly recommend

My visit at The Depot restaurant was not at the actual restaurant per say but went there for a birthday celebration to their banquet room. The food was delicious and the servers were very attentive. Loved my experience there and would recommended the place.

Unbelievable place. Rude server, refused to warm up the bread because chef has a policy in his weird head. I asked to warm up the bread not to change his recipe. Flys are everything on food

The food was bland and plain. Absolutely nothing special about the menu. Chef walked around the tables acting like a hotshot. If I was the chef there, Id be embarrassed to show my face.

Been here twice in the last year for work. Great for business meetings. Food is superior but I have to admit Ive had the same Thai shrimp salad both times. Great place!

Good to visit as couple, but not for business. When I visited with client, interior was too dark and couldnt see faces each other. Dishes are nice.

The food was good. I had spinach eggs benedict. The only draw back is service. I will go back for lunch as I love the chicken pot pie.
