This is definitely one of my favorite places to enjoy delicious food and drinks. We have had the pleasure to dine there 3 times already. My favorite is the Butternut Squash Bisque and favorite drink Fraise Caliente Tequila. The atmosphere is relaxing plus staff is friendly and attentive. Can’t wait to go back !!! We have done bar and table seating both great !

Great ambience and the food is amazing! Also a wide variety of international beers. Unique experience compared to anything in Media.. Service was friendly and fast, and the owner checked in to ensure we were having a good experience. Recommend the Lamb Lollipops, Mediterranean Platter, and the Toro Chips with pickled veg and marinated tuna. Such a refreshing addition to the Media food scene!

Very impressed. Tapas style food was amazing. From the cold lobster roll to the Sliders the food blew me a way. Great bartenders and yummy drinks. This may be my new fav in Media! It is pricey,

First time here today and had a great time! The cocktails were great and they have an amazing draft beer and wine selection. The food was great- we had the poutine, mussels, bulgogi tacos, cheesesteak tips and crab stuffed mushrooms. All of it was delicious. The bartender was wonderful and our server, Jack, was fantastic!

Had an amazing experience at Departure! From the moment we walked in, the vibe was great, but what really stood out was the exceptional service from our bartender, Sean. He was incredibly friendly and attentive throughout the night. We started with margaritas and a caramel macchiato espresso martini—both were absolutely delicious and impressively generous in size. But the real highlight was when Sean crafted a chocolate-covered cherry espresso martini—a drink he created himself. It was hands down one of the best cocktails I've ever had! Sean truly made our visit unique, and thanks to his outstanding service and creative drinks, I’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend!

While there are many great restaurants in downtown Media, for years I've longed for one that provided a "vibe" - where the atmosphere is welcoming, comfortable and maybe even fun. Departure is that place. I've been almost a dozen times now since they opened and they just keep getting better. Yes, the food and drinks are great. But what makes them special is that every single staff member seems happy to be there and treats you as a friend. This is truly a reflection on their owners/managers. (Take note other restaurants!) It is hard to come by anymore and I wish them continued success. I just hope it doesn't get too hard to get a table!

I had the pleasure of dining at Departures and was thoroughly impressed with the exceptional cuisine and beverages. The tapas-style dishes, made from scratch with globally-inspired flavors, were so exquisite that I neglected to take photographs of every course. The restaurant's décor is truly spectacular, featuring a comfortable lounge atmosphere. Overall, my experience was outstanding. I will be a regular and expect this place to be a show stopper! Truly out of this world! ✈️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

First time at Departure and i will be back. From the first step in we were greeted by a very nice host and had a great table. The drink menu is really good with lots of variety. Love the small plates, makes it easy to share. Taco flight was amazing, each one different and tasty. The look of the restaurant is so nice, really nice outside section.

I can’t say enough good things about this place. We had a large work event here and it was wonderful. The planner was super helpful and responsive during the planning days. The waitress was attentive and wonderful. Overall experience is superb. All the food is delicious. I love the little plates so you can order a few and try different ones. The ambiance is nice. Would definitely come back and recommend to others!
