| - I stopped by The Berea Depot for a business lunch on a Wednesday afternoon at the suggestion of my customer. I had been there one other time a couple years ago, but that was strictly a "day-drinking" experience that I don't remeber all that well come to think of it...
In any case, I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of my meal and the service, and the overall atmosphere of this place. I had a spinach salad with blackened salmon, and while I agree that that may not sound like much to go on, I've had some pretty bad salmon prepared for me in higher quality places. The salmon here was perfect, nicely blackened with blackening seasoning, and slightly glistening inside. The spinach was also fresh, and the salad nicely dressed with a sesame dressing and tossed with toasted almonds, red onion, mandarin oranges, and tomatoes.
Afterwards, I read some of the reviews and was shocked by some of the poorer ones. I was then told by someone that The Berea Depot was either under new ownership or had recently hired a new chef. I don't know if either of those statements are true, but if you've had a bad experience in the past, you might want to try this place one more time. If you've never been, I would recommend that you go. I'll be back many times this summer after my delightful experience.
