We loved our evening at Departure! Our server was Maddie and she did an excellent job of guiding us through the menu. It was herd to choose! Our standout favorites were the ceviche, tuna with avocado on taro chips, and the lamb lollipops (oh my, such flavor!). My Woodpack sauv blanc was crisp and a bit flinty with a hint of peeled green grapes — so nice! My husband enjoyed a few hazy IPAs and then chose the Nutty Traveler from the drink menu — lovely!

This restaurant/ bar is amazing. The food is really good. Not sure which cuisine you want or everyone wants something different?... this place is perfect! Food comes in small plates so you can try a little of everything. Have yet to eat anything there that isn't absolutely delicious. Service was great. Great atmosphere and vibes. Will be returning without a doubt!
I went later in the evening for drinks and apps, and loved it. I'm heading back to check out the what dinner is like.

Departure Restaurant & Lounge is a hidden gem of Media. It is a great spot for happy hour, a date night, or a girls night out. The place has a sleek, cool vibe with a great indoor/outdoor bar and plenty of dog friendly spaces. The staff are pleasant and friendly, and the bartender is great. The drinks are amazing, out of this world, and delicious. A killer happy hour runs from 4-6. Try the caramel macchiato martini or the spicy margarita. The food is good, varied, and served small plate style. Some reviews note small portions and that drinks can take forever. The atmosphere is nice with musicians playing and a large outdoor seating area with plenty of nearby parking. The restaurant is open late on weekdays.
