    The Fried Chicken sandwich with spicy honey and the shrimp and crab roll, which I split with the wife and some Cajun fries
    Eric P.

    Tucked away in the downtown district, this little gem will give you a taste of the Big Easy with a NW twist and locally found items. A larger restaurant than you may think, this place has a front, bar and then a back section. Service is always prompt, appropriate and knowledgeable. You will find the decor a bit eclectic as you get NW vibe with the whimsy of NOLA. Cajun inspired with scallops, shrimp and grits, bone marrow and other delicious bites, you will find a veritable plethora to choose from. A large and very diverse libation menu will also keep your attention.

    Filet with mashed potatoes and asparagus
    Maria B.

    Wonderful, incredible service. Our waitress was super awesome, we brought a bottle of wine and she offered to decanter it for us. I got the filet (5 oz) and it came with super yummy mashed potatoes and asparagus, perfect portion for a small 22 year old. The restaurant itself was quiet enough so u could easily hear people across the table from you and it is super pretty inside, very nice ambiance.

    Filet Mignon (8oz) with Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Honey Carrots and a Demi Glaze Sauce.

    After receiving the small gumbo (Decent but too sweet, definitely missing some Cajun Seasoning). As it stands I'm sitting on 30+ minutes waiting for my meal (Filet Mignon). Nice spot but that's where this review ends being positive. Meal arrived 35+ minutes later. Great presentation, decent flavor but the Filet seems pretty tough. I'm seated at the bar and the tender isn't very attentive or friendly. The hostess however was incredible, nice and very polite. All in all, this would have been a 4-5 star review but the wait was a bit too long for the product.

    Love the vibe of this place. We stopped in for beverages and had 2 very different both very good espresso martinis. The bartender was so friendly, prices are great and I know the food is too from a prior meal here

    Whiskey & cookies $10 / Bowman Bourbon  & cornmeal cookies w/fresh plum jam

    Fantabulous farm-to-fork focus fare using local producers as much as possible, artful all-inclusive ambiance (including wheelchair accessible front and side entries) with standard height tables throughout with plenty of elbow room between them, warm welcome at the door and stellar service throughout the meal made our early dinner at Castor on a rainy Monday evening the food highlight of a multi-day visit to Corvallis. MENU: changes at least seasonally so see the website menu link for the full offerings as the website is kept up to date. HOURS: Open for lunch through dinner on Tuesday through Saturday and for dinner on Monday starting at 4:00. Happy Hour here is called "recess" - clever given Corvallis is a college town - with discounts on some menu items and libation specials. LIBATIONS: Full bar with specialty cocktails and also no alcohol creations. Thoughtful wine list by glass and bottle. Also well curated pour lists for hard liquors. $: Our choices for this meal were glasses of wine from a thoughtfully curated list (an Oregon Pinot and a Rhone blend on 'of the day' special at the "recess" price for total $21), salad of local farmer greens ($8), pimento cheese board with bacon jam, fresh peaches and crostini ($14), gumbo ($12), ricotta gnocchi with summer veg ($15), and two desserts of whiskey and cookies ($10 each) for $90. We thought the prices were so reasonable for excellent food. SERVICE: The server, Margot, who greeted us warmly at the door had us feeling well tended throughout the meal. Both friendly and professional, she knew the menu to make recommendations, offered a taste of the wine I was considering to help me decide and paced the meal perfectly. Brava. TUNES: Even the playlist was perfect for the space and at a level that added to ambiance but didn't compete with conversation. ACCESSIBILITY: On this trip I was using a wheelchair and I so appreciated that there is FAQ at the website that speaks to wheelchair access at both doors, front and side, and assures a diner that both levels are equally accessible to diners with mobility limits. Few restaurants get it this perfectly right. All people are welcome here to enjoy the food and hospitality. https://www.castorcorvallis.com/faqs PARKING: On street in downtown Corvallis.

    Grilled pork chop over potatoes and collards
    Amanda M.

    Great experience at Castor! The pork chop was phenomenal, and the sear on the scallops was perfection! Really enjoyed the cozy but upscale dining experience. Highly recommend!

    What is there NOT to like about Castor??? From the food to the service, from the quasi-industrial/antique vibe, Castor Rocks! If you arrive after 6, parking can be found next door and an after dinner stroll downtown is the perfect topper, that's only after an amazing dessert! Btw, many of their offerings (which changes!) are locally grown/acquired!!! Thankful my Aunt turned us in to this new "fav"!

    See all

    I have been here several times. Slow service, noisy and food was just ok. I prefer eating out in Albany.
