About the Depot Dining Club

The Depot Dining Club, located on Bay Street in downtown Harbor Springs, is a private dining club. Reminiscent of the spirit of entrepreneurs and pioneers that developed the Little Traverse Bay area, the meticulous restoration of this treasured landmark adds a fresh new vibrancy and flare to the downtown waterfront district.

Upon entering the Depot, members immediately feel as though they have been transported back to a bygone era. The main dining room – which seats up to 60 people and requires a sport coat during the summer season – is adorned with rich Damask wallpaper, walnut paneling, brass light fixtures, and vintage train locomotives. No expense was spared in the development of The Depot Dining Club.

Members enjoy culinary creations influenced by the rich flavors of Northern Michigan.

For a private party or for a more intimate dining experience, members are invited to book a reservation in the Hemingway Dining Room, which pays homage to Nobel-prize winning author Ernest Hemingway who frequently passed through the depot throughout the early 20th Century enroute to his many excursions in Northern Michigan. With seating for up to sixteen people, members dining in the Hemingway Room will admire first edition Hemingway novels on display and artifacts harkening to a simpler time as America grew into a nation that would transform the world.

For a nightcap, members enjoy libations while sitting at the 14-seat granite bar tucked inside the main dining room. For members who prefer a more relaxed setting, The Depot Dining Club outdoor seating is more casual attire after a fun evening of the lake or round of golf.

Members are also invited to book The Depot Dining Club for private events or for catering to their homes and yachts.
