“The Depot on First has been open since October 2023 and since then has simply excelled as the only fine dining restaurant in the area. I think much of their success is based on the fact they not only maintain consistency in areas such as attention to detail, exceptional customer service and quality culinary experience, they also continue to evolve and adapt to changing tastes, trends, and customer preferences. I enjoy seeing their ongoing tasting and intimate dining events, of which I will have to attend at some point. Another cornerstone of success for many restaurant's is Authenticity, and this Farm-to-table restaurant continues to prioritize authenticity by sourcing quality ingredients directly from local farms and producers. They don't take any shortcuts when it comes to freshly prepared food to save time which is why I will wait patiently in the elegantly decorated intimate, warm and inviting dining room for my entree upon every visit. No Rush! Just me bring me another perfectly prepared old fashioned. Don't hesitate to step outside of the box and try something new on the menu, I am not a fan of porkchops, but I have become a fan of theirs. This is an environment that will put a smile on your face, Ben and staff are simply exceptional, every visit feels like coming home to dinner. I look forward to spending some time out on the beautiful back patio this spring. Cheers!“

“I hadn't been to an IHOP in many years but it was quite a nice experience. We were seated in a booth immediately. Everything including the restroom was very clean. IHOP now has GLUTEN FREE PANCAKES and vegetarian IMPOSSIBLE SAUSAGE and they still leave a POT of COFFEE at your table.
The waiter was very friendly and attentive and you can settle up, paying the waiter at the table after the meal (so no line to pay at the end!).“

“Pretty good sit down pizza place but not great. We had pizza and a grinder sandwich. Pretty average, nothing very memorable.
But a good place to take the kids or team after a game. A birthday party going on when we visited late Saturday afternoon. Fun for the kids.
Not overly pricey so a 4 from us.

Kid-friendliness: Great place to take the kids.

Wheelchair accessibility: Looks like it is accessible.“
