Beverly Depot

Very good steak, bit fancy, has really good salad bar birthday discount... fyi I'm 8 years

Stopped in Saturday night with two friends. We were able to park right out front and we were seated immediately. Salad bar was an absolute delight. Rare prime rib was incredible. Fried ice cream ended the evening and I was struggling to finish the generous portion!Atmosphere was on point. Brick inside with a tall wooden roof. The high ceilings make it feel very roomy. We had a really wonderful time and we'll be back for sure!

The Depot in Beverly is on the purple line and is a wonderful restaurant in the old Beverly train Depot. The

The atmosphere is excellent as are the servers, however the food is average. I am interested in restaurants that provide excellent or great food, not just good or average. Four Of is recently dined here, and in spite of the many highly positive reviews, here 's what I found: I ordered the baked scallops with a 6oz sirloin. As a lifelong local resident and a veteran working for a number of high quality restaurants, baked scallops usually means your scallops are cooked with some type of stuffing or cracker crumbs. If you offer no stuffing, then you 're really not serving baked scallops, you 're serving broiled scallops. I was disappointed when they arrived to see that there were scallops lightly dusted with bread crumbs and that was it. They weren 't particularly flavorful and they didn 't appear to me to be traditional baked scallops. I also ordered the chicken breast over liquini with a mushroom cream sauce and asparagus to take home. I specifically asked to get extra sauce, but when I got home, I discovered that they did not give me extra sauce as I ordered and every single piece of asparagus was overcooked! The sauce was also too thin and it lacked the succulent, rich flavor you would expect in a mushroom cream sauce. Like the scallops, it was flavorless. Getting so much overcooked asparagus also rather killed the dish!The salad bar, while clean and well done, lacked several things that could have made it excellent. The lettuce was a little limp and cut too large... there were no high quality olives. The beats were low quality and warm. Another review cited some high quality creamy cheese to go with the bread but I didn 't see any soft cheese and the one cheese they offered wasn 't anything special so the salad bar, an excellent idea, just wasn 't executed well enough. All my guests ordered fried ice cream for dessert and all reported their food as good but not great. The bread was also cold and, again, very average. Overall, it was exceedingly average and, for me, that doesn 't merit my going back again. I wish I could offer a more positive review but this was my experience.

Maintains the feel of its original purpose as a railroad station. Has a nice salad bar with great bread and cheese, very good traditional food selections and friendly but not over frequent service that all add to a comfortable experience. Parking is a challenge and expect to hear the trains pulling in and out which I like. Pricing is moderate to expensive per person.
