Depot - Auckland New Zealand

Tonight Ev was pushing hard for us to go to Jervois Steakhouse or Sidart for our anniversary, but when push comes to shove I am the boulder that blocks all... so we ended up at Depot. We (I ordered the Hapuka Sliders, Bone Marrow, Braised Lamb Neck, Potato Skins and Cookie skillet. The Hapuka sliders were the glow up the filet-o-fish could only ever dream of 10 10 yes get in my mouth and stay there. The bone marrow struck a chord of nostalgia for me- as kids my sister and I would fight over the marrow from the Sunday roast lamb. Nostalgia meets refinement with Fergus’ Bone Marrow, a true masterpiece that I truly adored. When the lamb came out Evan was poised to use his knife, but what place does a knife have when meat simply falls off the bone? Yet another 10 10. Would eat rice for a month in exchange for this lamb. The potato skins were crispy, fluffy and perfectly seasoned (a flashback to when I was a kid and my brother brought some back from a date night with my sister in law . By the end of all the savoury Evan and I were ready to tap out, BUT dessert called and I answered (the skillet desserts have had me frothing since I first learnt of their existence way back when . THE COOKIE SKILLET WAS RUDE and would most definitely call your parents, boss and place of education to get back at you and ruin your life. Depot really earned a place in my heart tonight. The service was absolutely amazing (our waitress was v cool they were attentive without being in your face and I appreciate that in a restaurant. The food was delicious and didn’t play any cruel tricks on my tastebuds (I see you sugar club . A truly memorable evening and the perfect way to commemorate another year with Ev.

Depot nitely need to try this place out! [I’ve been here quite a few times everytime I’m here, I’m very satisfied, full thinking about the next time I’m back. Ok jks, but honestly the places I give a 5 to are places that tick all the boxes, plus I would crave think about all the time. Also, it’ll be a place I’ll happily recommend to anyone with the certainty that it would be enjoyed . So...the food is no doubt amazing. There’s not much to say other than it’s great. I especially love their lamb chops . If you want to go, be prepared to wait because it’s always packed even on a weekday everytime I go, there’s a waiting list : : . The service is good, atmosphere is nice. Clean overall so memorable. Hands down one of the best eats on Federal St ok that’s hard, because there’s lots of amazing food around there . <br/ BE BACK OR BACK AWAY? be back for sure! I cannot wait to be back

Service was really friendly and fast. We started with oysters which tasted really fresh. That was followed by bone marrow that was delish, but fattier than I expected. We then had the lamb ribs, which had a delicious spicey crust. We finished it off with the pork hock and potato skins. We ordered too much for two people, I’d recommend dropping one dish. And we probably went overboard with meat.

Came in for lunch, good and service was great as usual. Oyster and Tua Tua was so fresh, and the tulbot slider was to die for.<br/ <br/ Look forward to next time

Only got the sliders and lamb rib because we were not that hungry but are desperate to try out depot. The lamb ribs were great, juicy and tender, the mashed potatoes compliments the rib and I could really always come back just for the ribs. The sliders were also very tasty, layers of fish and mayo and a buttery soft bread. this was a super delicious experience and the service staffs were also very friendly
