Went in on Saturday afternoon, sat at the bar. Bartender said he would be right with us . After waiting 27 minutes without a drink order being taken we left. Extremely limited menu which we did not get to experience. Won't go back as we were made to feel unwanted.

First time at restaurant. Great atmosphere and good service. The caprese salad was very good, lobster & crab canelloni, duck scarpariello, eggplant rollatini, chicken parmigiana, and tortellini osso buco were all outstanding. Also enjoyed the chocolate creme brulee. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Food was great and service for Togo was very much needed with my toddler, I’m local and glad I found a great restaurant to be so close!

Do yourself a favor and visit this lovely restaurant, The Depot on First in Knightdale. The ambiance is warm and welcoming. As you enter Brooke, the General Manager, greets and draws you in with her warm and cozy charm. John T, our server and also the bartender, was outstanding. He took the time to explain the menu and helped us select dishes that we would love. The food is a very memorable dining experience. From appetizers to desserts, the quality and tastes are fabulous. The culinary delights prepared by the award winning chef, Kevin Stratton, are heavenly and melt in your mouth. The meals are presented beautifully. Dining at the Depot was a gift to our senses with a staff that truly cares. On Wednesdays, try Pasta Night. Dianne and I highly recommend an evening filled with heavenly dishes, a tasteful wine list, mouth watering desserts(Tiramisu and Chocolate Creme Brûlée), and impeccable service...your next date night should be at The Depot.

Great food, as close as you can get to fine dining in Knightdale. Not a place for a family dinner but a fantastic date night.

Wooow! All of this right here! I made a reservation for Friday at 8 pm in the main dining room. The service was spectacular. The food took quite a while to get to the table, but it was totally worth the wait. The drinks were well made, and there’s a great variety on the menu. The place is big and beautiful, with different vibes inside and outside. I made a special request and, although it didn’t come exactly as I asked, it was still amazing. Highly recommend! The only downside? The chairs, super uncomfortable.

That night I had the baked oysters oreganato, so good. Then the beef and potatoes with filet mignon, everything on the plate was so delicious. Also tried the duck scarpariello and the cheesecake tiramisu. Every bite was incredible. For drinks, we had wine and an old fashioned.

They serve focaccia with most dishes, though it wasn’t the traditional fluffy kind, it was more like herbed toast. Still good!

I think my expectations were too high when visiting this restaurant. My husband and I went on a date and we were not too impressed by the food and ambiance. The service was amazing though!

Man, I went in with high expectations and this place did not disappoint. The drinks came out in a timely manner. The Pork Belly Piadina was to die for. Parsh was our server, and had great dinner recommendations. Great service and great food led us to having a great night.

We stayed away for a while because we thought it was too expensive, but then they instituted Pasta Wednesdays. Twenty dollar pasta dishes with house wine for $5.50 a glass-… totally worth it! The Chicken Florentino was just as good Pasta Primavera I had last time. My husband’s go-to is the Chicken Parmigiana, and he says it’s one of his favorites.

Service was great.We had the same waiter, Parsh, both times. He was friendly, attentive, and made the experience easy and enjoyable.
