Depot Restaurant, Torrance CA

The Gorgonzola-crusted New York strip is amazing. I would come back just for that, but I’m sure the rest of the menu is delicious too

We got to dine in - finally! Our server, Candy was attentive, efficient, and courteous. Thank you, Candy. The chef had to describe the Rock Shrimp Sausage, which was excellent and not always on the menu. The bowtie pasta with grilled chicken provided a subtle mix of flavors served in a generous portion.

Wow, wow, wow and wow again. Good candidate for top gourmet restaurant in South Bay. Comfortable room. Great staff. Amazing food. Had grilled salmon for lunch with green beans. Simple but delicious. Cooked perfectly. Tasty sauce. Lots more to try on the menu.

Great place to dine in. Our server was very nice and the food was amazing. We ordered a few things, all great, especially the Red Curry bowl. The service was quick as well. We ordered about 12 different things and it was out quick, which was amazing. Definitely recommend this place!

Excellent experience. Very good food, service and environment. Every course was well prepared, good portions and tasted great. Well deserved reputation for top quality

An amazing meal! The best Ahi lunch I've had in a long time. Even in these crazy times, the service is impeccable and the food excellent. Can't wait to go back!

Started out rough because of mistake taking our order but ended as one of our better dining experiences. Food was fantastic and our waitress was superb

We came to this restaurant for dinner. This place was recommended to us by a friend. Well, it was very nice.we were warmly welcomed by the staff and we had a great feeling. The meal was tasty. We had a great time and we shall absolutely come back again. Keep it up.

Food was delicious. Service was amazing. Definitely exceeded our expectations and will definitely be back.

The Depot and Chef Shafer are staples of the South Bay. The food is consistently good, the atmosphere is fun, the drinks are plentiful.

Whether he’s in the kitchen cooking the food, in the dining room entertaining the guests, or in the community supporting some worthy cause, Chef Shafer is wonderful.

Highly recommended.

High end, well considered and beautifully plated dishes. Comfortable, well appointed atmosphere.

Nice food, and lots of it, but not very creative. Likewise the cocktail menu is mostly vodka based and uninispiring. And the wine menu limited. However the environment and service are good. The chocolate bento box desert is excellent and could feed 4 people.

Upscale dining with amazing dishes and atmosphere. This place is definitely the best part of Torrance.

This review was for a banquet dinner. They have multiple medium sized banquet rooms. Each room comes with a cash bar and a fixed menu. The room was comfortable and the food was good. They served a pasta dish, a fish dish, and a chicken dish for the main course which was shared with each table. Also served was bread salad and desert.

Chef Michael and his crew created a fantastic dining environment and wonderfully deliciois cuisine

Excellent food. The chef is very talented. Every dish was superb, including the soup, 3 main courses & dessert. The service was also good.

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. There's complimentary valet however there is free general parking across the street.

Been here twice in the last year for work. Great for business meetings. Food is superior but I have to admit I've 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 couldn't see faces each other. Dishes are nice.

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.

I'm still pissed about him closing Bufalo Fire Dept (another of his restaurants).
