Rails A Cafe At the Depot

(Food was great. Our waiter was great.) The reason I’m not giving five stars is because we spent around $200 on our family meal and after paying the bill we were promptly shooed away, having been there only a little over an hour for an appetizer, drinks, main courses, and desserts. My husband and I travel for work full time, which means I only get to see the rest of my family a few times a year. So being rushed to move along was notable not only because I never in my life have experienced this at any restaurant in the Americas, Europe, or Africa… it was notable because a host or manager felt it appropriate to rush the time I was spending with my family, which is precious. So it doesn’t matter that the food was great and our waiter was great. I will not be back.

We came for brunch before we left back home and this place was amazing. Our waitress was really friendly and awesome I forgot her name but it started with a “K”. We had dessert and she was even nice enough to pack another piece and pack it on ice and made it all the way home! Definitely worth every penny and everything is made in house!

***Updated Review*** I’ve had the pleasure of coming back to this café a few times now, and every visit has been just as delightful as the first. Kali, Cass, and Eric consistently go above and beyond to make the experience thoughtful, warm, and enjoyable. It’s the little touches that make such a big difference, like the time they dried the outdoor tables and chairs after a rain shower and even brought out cushions so my dog and I could sit comfortably outside. That level of care is rare, and it truly makes you feel welcome. Chewbacca (my dog) is just as smitten with this place as I am! He devoured the Lassie Meal (chicken and rice) from their dog menu, and when they surprised him with a fresh-baked dessert made in-house for pups, his tail could not stop wagging. It’s safe to say he’s now

spectacular, didn’t disappoint. second time back for me and sat outside. Weather was nice and cool, kinda windy but didn’t bother us at all. I got the panini, had mozzarella on the side, tasted delicious! Boyfriend had bison burger, devoured. The waiter/waitress were very pleasant and attentive. Dessert is definitely worth trying, so many delicious flavors to choose from. We got one to go and can’t wait to try it at home. We’ll be back soon!
