Grabbing a bite to eat with friends or having a date night with your partner is always a good time, but you don't always have to dine at the most popular eateries and chain restaurants to have a great meal. Sometimes the most delicious plates can be found hiding away in family-run establishments with secret recipes, pop-ups started by friends that grew into community staples or hidden gems with the tastiest bites for an affordable price.
Using reviews, awards and accolades, and first-hand experience, LoveFood compiled a list of the "most charming" restaurants around the country, selecting the most "delightful" spot in every state "from historic buildings turned into boutique restaurants to romantic date venues with breathtaking views."
According to the site, the most charming eatery in all of Washington is The Depot Restaurant. Located in the southwestern corner of the state, this restaurant with "oodles" of charm offers fresh, delicious food in a historic building. The Depot Restaurant, which has a 4.7 star rating on Google and nearly 1,000 reviews, is located at 1208 38th Pl in Seaview.
Here's what LoveFood had to say about this inviting eatery:
"Built in 1905 and originally used as a train station for the Clam Shell Railroad, The Depot Restaurant is now a fine dining restaurant with an international wine list and oodles of charm. The restaurant is just blocks away from the Pacific Ocean and has a menu of fresh seafood, salads, vegetarian dishes, and steaks. There's a heated patio, plus the spot retains some of the original features such as the ticket window, which is now the perfect place for people-watching."
