In
my
humble
opinion..
I
believe
no
other
restaurants
I
have
experienced
in
my
63
years
comes
close
to
the
prepared
and
plated
food,
flavors,
service,
prices
and
environment
we
experienced
tonight
at
the
Faribault
Depot
Bar
and
Grill,
as
provided
by
NYC
trained
Pro
Culinary
Chef,
Jeff
LaBaeu.
We
found
Jeff’s
articulated
culinary
knowledge
and
passion
to
be
amazing.
After
doing
some
research
for
a
restaurant
to
share
a
birthday
dinner
tonight..
we
decided
to
make
the
trip
from
a
southern
Mnpls
suburb
area.
35W
South
was
a
short
quick
40
mile
trip
down
to
Faribault.
Turned
out
to
be
worth
every
mile
we
traveled.
Nice
scenic
actually.
No
traffic
with
lots
of
cool
rural
sights.
This
unique
restaurant
(remodeled
Faribault
railroad
depot)
is
located
in
the
historic
eastern
downtown
Faribault
business
district
next
to
the
Straight
river
and
world
famous
Faribault
Cheese
Caves.
Trains
still
occasionally
run
the
rails
just
next
to
the
restaurant
and
river.
We
found
the
Depot
to
be
a
very
unique
super
cool
place
both
inside
and
out.
I
consider
our
experience
tonight
to
be
an
elite
level
of
restaurant
food
quality
and
flavors
complimented
by
excellent
service.
The
Depot
menu
really
runs
the
gamut.
From
the
best
looking
burgers
meals
we
seen
served..
to
the
elite
level
of
fine
dining
plated
offerings
we
experienced.
Pricing
is
definitely
less
than
what
I
typically
see
from
the
decent
cookie-cutter
metro
restaurants…
and
certainly
far
less
expensive
than
those
considered
to
be
“fine”
dinning
restaurants.
I
was
very
impressed
that
the
Depot
seems
to
have
it
all.
To
end
my
raving
over
our
experience,
I
would
proudly
give
the
Depot
a
double
5
star
rating
across
the
board.
No
question.
Best
overall
restaurant
dining
experience
I
have
had
yet
in
my
63
years!
Definitely
be
back
soon..
Likely
even
this
weekend.
Next
trip
will
include
a
Rice
County
lakes
scenic
before
dinner.
