Its practically like we went to a different restaurant when I read these other reviews! First off, despite the empty tables they had no idea where to put us, as some were reserved...for dinner? So after they sat us in one place, they moved us. No biggie, its early, sometimes things happen. Then, we get our table half set, making half of us have no water. Then the glass with one of our orange juices has bright red lipstick smears all over it, like it hasn't been washed. Then the food comes out cold. And goodness forbid there be a waitress around to ask to heat it up! All over, a general failure. And on top of being cold, the eggs were oddly chewy and the bacon omelet had one small piece of bacon in it. read more

We came here on our way back from the coast. We see GTF at our Portland farmers markets all the time, so had pretty high expectations. We were happy to see that we could just walk in without a reservation at the peak lunch hour. The food was reasonably priced (for the quality) and delicious. Everyone there was super nice, too. The icing on the cake was that we had missed out on a macaroon that we wanted, and one of their staff went in the kitchen and found a slightly imperfect one and gave it to us! read more

I went here Thursday, June 12 with the Red Hat group I belong to. I got the lamb sausage, pesto, mozzarella pizza. It was okay. The lamb sausage was good, but there should have been more of it. Many of the women in the group said that their meal was just okay. The hot water for tea was not hot enough. One woman who is on a gluten free diet asked the waitress if there was a gluten free dessert. The waitress said no, other than one that you get with the three course meal. But they did make a special one just for her. When my mom went to the counter to look at desserts for her and I to split, she found two different GF (gluten free) desserts! Doesn't the waitress know what GF stands for?! read more

Very friendly little place. I like the mini market within the place. In love with the location and the building itself. Treat yourself to a zucchini chcolate chip cookie or donut from the register. Buy some veggies or enjoy a pizza. This place is awesome! read more

I'm here to confirm the 5s. I finally had brunch here at my daughter's recommendation and the food was not only truly excellent, it was exactly the type of food I strive to prepare at home. Interesting dishes made with fresh produce from the farm. We ordered Huevos Rancheros, Eggs Brunheim, Savory Bread Pudding, and Veggie Omelet. Everyone was pleased with the food, the service was pleasant and prompt without hoovering, and the ambiance relaxed and unpretentious. Prices were reasonable (all entrees under $10) and a bonus: the coffee was excellent! read more

Best selection of produce around. It is a bit out of the way if you are not in Philomath but a gem that is not to be missed. The pastries are fantastic if you are lucky the pastry chef will come and say hello. The food is so awesome lunches are the best around. They have local meats, wines, canned goods, and so much more #CorvSMB read more

This is a lovely place, and I'd been going for a few years. It has a lovely breakfast on Saturday. It's supposed to have a good dinner as well, but I've noticed that the quality has declined significantly over the past two seasons. In fact, the last two entrees I've had there were absolutely miserable. They were bland, unimaginative, and to top it off, pricey. I would have complained to our waitress (who was very nice) but she didn't come by after delivering the meal. In hindsight, I should have sent the most recent duck dinner back to the kitchen. It was that bad. I've only done that once in my life. I can have better dinners for a much better price elsewhere. read more

I am spoiled this week with fabulous lunches! We were returning from touring our new listings and decided to stop in for a quick lunch. The pizzas are AMAZING! - love the wood burning pizza oven! Stephanie is always fun to visit with and very accommodating to our request to create our own pizza. 3 versions were offered and one of us (I won't name the problem child!) wanted a few ingredients from each one. The atmosphere is very relaxing and we truly enjoyed our little side trip to the 'farm' and can't wait to go back! read more

Love this restaurant out on the farm. The food is fresh and sourced locally and the chef is amazing. We are happy every time after a GTF experience! read more

This is the spot. Food is always good, unique, creative, and beautiful. Some how they combine the best of Oregon cusine, and gourmet (are those even different from eachother?!?) and make a harmonious plate of satisifaction. The prices are great. Every thing is organic, and most of what you are served is grown/raised there. The service is fantastic. The servers are fun, and down to earth. The atmosphere is casual, low key, farmhouse with a twist style. No pretenses, it is all about the food and the service. I take my most precious people here, for our most special meals. This place is just that good. The only down side to this fantastic gem, is they are open seasonaly. So in the cold months (Nov-Feb), I cannot go in for one of their creative soups to warm my bones. read more

Usually I think it's suspicious when there's so many 5 star reviews and am subsequently disappointed. Not here. This place is awesome. Best dining out experience I've had this year. My fiancé and I went with my sister and her husband on Friday night. We ordered several appetizers and and entree each and we shared everything. The quail -outstanding The flat iron steak- incredible The pork chop- delicious The bacon-corn pizza- damn good The duck rilletes- so good The duck liver mousse- as good as it sounds The pork pate- salty savory goodness The Lemon Curd Cake- I kill a man with my bare hands to get it again read more

I almost don't want to review this place because I don't want others to know about it. What a cool little gem. Great, imaginative, farm-to-table food, in a really cool setting. I'd been to Philomath many, many times, and never knew it was here. Definitely coming back to this one. read more

Fresh, local, organic, great ambiance. There isn't much else you could ask for in a eatry. The kids loved the pastries also! Prices were good, menu could go from simple treats for kids to something simple elegant French Laundry would approve of. read more

We are regular customers at the Gathering Together stall at the Portland farmers market. Driving from the beach on the way home, just about lunch time, we saw the sign and stopped. Thinking it was a vegetable/ fruit stall. What a nice surprise to find this lovely country restaurant reminiscent of ones in Europe. They serve local and seasonal vegetables and meats. The prices are reasonable and service is excellent. If you try and go, make sure to check hours and open days. They told us the restaurant is closed most of the winter. read more

The food, service, and atmosphere are all amazing. This was our first time here and plan on coming back!

the place is still a treat to visit the food not so much! we were offered the "best salmon in the world at the moment" it was truly an old smelly piece of salmon....fyi as long as there is copper river king salmon there will be only one best in the world salmon which i purchased fresh today in portland! the food was still pretty but sort of tasteless. i have had much better meals at gtf.. read more

IN LOVE with this place. We're from Wyoming, and were just driving through the area looking for a spot to eat lunch. When I searched for Breweries this place serendipitously popped up. While it's NOt a brewery, it IS a welcoming, beautiful sun filled, farm to table dining experience. This farm does it all... Produce, flowers, eggs, Restaurant, CSA, many restaurant accounts, farmers market, attached produce market, etc. etc. But I was amazed that it still felt like a small local farm operation. I will gather at this place anytime I'm in the area and enjoy a delicious slice of wood fired pizza topped with fresh jalapeños and zucchini. This place is perfectly adorable and so, so tasty. read more

Let me explain my two stars....because if it was based solely on the food -- it would be five stars, unfortunately as well all know going out to eat is more than just the food...it's the atmosphere and service. While the atmosphere was picturesque, a beautiful farm house in the country - the flies swarming the table could have been done without. However, that would have been a blip on the radar, when the real problem was the service. A particular member of the waitstaff (or farm staff) who acted as our server was completely rude. Making snide comments about getting out of the way to the members of our party, continually interrupting conversations to lean into the table to pour wine unnecessarily. The big sha-bang happened at the close of the evening when we were courteous enough to plan ahead and have cash on hand for each person (we were a big party). She made comments about who paid for what and even continually reminded us that the tip was not calculated in our bill...although as social beings, we know tipping is the only acceptable practice - regardless of service. I don't think I will be returning to GTF - as many of the members of our party shared the same sentiment. It is unfortunate to have such a great product and not be able to deliver it to the customer because of an obvious error in the communication system. I would suggest to the GTF staff to have a day on customer service...it could go a long way. read more

Great food, love the quality, service and atmosphere. Have taken lots of friends here from out of town and everyone loves it. Cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. One of my favorites in the Corvallis/Philomath area. My parents go here for brunch almost every weekend it is open. The staff treats us like family and are always very kind. They have the best vegetarian dishes and we call ahead when we have friends who are vegan to make sure they will have something to enjoy. read more

I want to respond to the comment by farmers market customer Jenny J. I was there in the booth, picking up a restaurant order when the "incident" occurred. My perspective is that Jenny was shopping before the market officially opened. One of the staff, as she was setting up a display, quietly and without any aggression mentioned to her that they would prefer to get fully set up for market before they sold produce. Jenny became immediately defensive and started accusing them of being rude, not wanting her business and making threats to report them to the Better Business Bureau. In my perspective, Jenny was over the top and rude and the staff at GTF responded with patience and kindness to an angry woman who was deliberately trying to escalate bad feelings. I left before Jenny did, so I do not know how things ended. Maybe the staff decided that her rudeness had crossed a line and asked her to leave and refused her money... I don't know, but I think that would have been well within their rights. I am very impressed with how I saw the staff at GTF handle this situation. I have always had good experiences with this farm and their staff, not to mention their amazing produce. read more

Gathering Together Farm has the best pizza in Corvallis! In addition, they also have the best authentic Italian pizza I have ever had in the United States! Their pizza has a very thin crust (just like the pizza in Naples) with fresh mozzarella cooked in a wood-fired clay oven outdoors. Our family also enjoys their salads, soups and breads- always fresh and tasty. To top it all off, they have freshly made lemonade- I actually do not like lemonade but the lemonade here is refreshing- not overly sweet like most lemonades and the perfect balance between sweet and tart on a warm, sunny day. The staff here is so sweet and kind and lunch here is not just lunch, it is a leisurely experience in which one can relax and enjoy the simple pleasures of life. If you plan to go here, which I recommend, make sure to make reservations as they do get very busy. This is the perfect lunch spot for a date or a special occasion such a s birthday to treat someone special in your life. read more

The kind of place you almost hesitate to give five stars to because it is so good you want to hoard it to yourself. But since the word is already out I may as well pile on. The best food in Philomath or Corvallis, much of it grown on site. Great atmosphere and warm waitstaff. What else is there to say (actually lots...but i will leave it at that). read more

Not only can you get your daily nom on at Gathering Together Farm - but you can shop their wares as well. All of their products are organic, fresh and absolutely delicious - and did I mention, incredibly affordable? read more

Such a tremendous experience! My parents came to town and I wanted to take them someplace special. We had wanted to go to Gathering Together Farm (GTF) for ever, but had never been able to make it work out with our schedule. Turns out this was the last week of the restaurant season, and so I called first thing on Veteran's Day to see about getting a table. Well, turns out that a party of 8 is hard to accommodate on their reservation list (they were booked solid), but the lady on the phone said I could try to sit inside where they don't take reservations (I guess on their enclosed patio/sunroom/deck all tables are by reservation only, but not the cafe-type tables inside the farm stand). We figured we'd give it a shot. We arrived at noon and the place was slammed. No tables inside or on the patio/sunroom/deck thing. We asked one of the workers if there was any way we could get in for lunch, and she said she'd put us on the waiting list and see if they could make it work. We waited about a half an hour and sure enough, they found room for us in the farm stand seating area! (I just want to say that the employees were super friendly the whole time as they tried to accommodate our large group with no reservation!) Now, on to the food! Our party had a variety of dishes, from fresh salad and tomato soup to butternut squash ravioli in a cream sauce to pork pate to ginger chicken with polenta and kale to a couple of wood-fired pizzas with ham and cauliflower and mozzarella. All of the food was delicious, all of it was reasonably priced, and all of it was sourced as locally as possible. And then -- dessert! I had been advised by Chris Hansen from Mosaic Farms (shameless plug: go see his non-GMO livestock feed and/or his pastured pork at mosaicfarms.com) to try the chocolate tort. He said it was to die for. Well, when time came for dessert, I asked our server if they had this famous chocolate tort that Chris Hansen from Mosaic had recommended. The server went and asked Chef JC, and voila, we had a beautiful, decadent tort brought out and it was fantabulousamazingdeliciousyummy! All in all, I can't rave enough about our experience eating at GTF. I am sad that the season is ending, but I will certainly look for more opportunities in the future to eat here -- and I suggest that you do too! read more

Simply outstanding. Produce grown in the CSA farm are the focus of the delicious cuisine offerings. Best restaurant between Wilsonville to Eugene. read more

Gathering Together Farm is bigger than a restaurant, but that's the part I'd like to review. A little pricey, but you really can't beat the delicious farm-fresh healthy & delicious fare they serve up on the homey rustic porch patio in summertime. The tractors rolling by to harvest your dinner are just part of the charm. Worth a visit, just remember to make a reservation! read more

This place has wonderful produce for sale at its farm stand and their pizza at the restaurant is really delicious. But their brunch on Saturday morning is awful. The eggs were undercooked (raw whites running across my plate) the potatoes were overcooked and not edible, the "toast" wasn't toasted and they had no juice. It was the worst brunch I've ever had. What a disappointment! Won't be going back for brunch ever again unless they clean up their act and get some juice. Everything is eggs, you need some pancakes or waffles on your menu. read more

My favorite restaurant in Oregon, or maybe anywhere. High quality ingredients cooked beautifully. Lunch is a bargain, and dinners are worth the price. Call ahead for lunch, make reservations for dinner. Service is friendly and helpful. Sometimes it's a wait for food, but it's well worth it, and I enjoy not feeling rushed myself. read more

This place is really very special. I go here about twice a month. It's a little off the beaten path, but worth every 25mph speed zone on the way. The menu is always changing, and is quite small. Salads, soups and pizzas are staples on the menu, and 3 or 4 new dishes are rotated in regularly. And this is really excellent, FRESH, grown on the farm food, by the way. And then, as if that wasn't good enough, they have a little produce market inside, yummy pastries (try the chocolate potato donut) and nothing on the menu is over 12 bucks. Oh! And be sure that its open before driving out, they're hours are a little irregular. read more

Their salsa is the best. Ever since I've tried theirs, I can't eat the store bought stuff. That alone is worth the drive.

I love Gathering together farms for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The food is amazing, and I would go there over and over and over again!

Short menu but the food is amazing! There are perfect proportions and I was perfectly full at the end of the meal. It's obvious that the produce is fresh. read more

So sad to be submitting a poor review for GTF. I have been a huge fan right from the start, but the quality and the service have been going downhill for the last few years now. I ate there last night and was thoroughly disappointed. I had tomato bisque soup, radiatore pasta with veggies and pesto, and chocolate cake. The food was bland and uninspiring, and the cake was stale. The service was terrible, and we had to wait half an hour between the first and second courses. I don't know what's going on there, but this used to be my all-time favorite restaurant and now I don't even know if I'll be going back. read more

This review is not about the food, but the customer service and policies. I've tried to eat here 5 times and have been successful 2, so I do know that the food is fabulous. The "tries" are due to the unreasonable and non-customer friendly policies and staff. We drive 1 1/2 hours to get to the farm. They do not take reservations for smaller groups, and we understand that on the weekend there can be a wait. Yesterday was one of the days we didn't get a table. That in itself is a disappointment, but the rude hostess is what made it a really bad experience. When we asked how long a wait, she said they already had a waiting list up to what they could accommodate before closing time and we shouldn't bother trying. I mentioned we'd driven 1 1/2 hours and had also been turned away before and she said she couldn't give us any hope. It was pointless to even try. It is quite possible to turn someone away with apologies and warmth, with encouragement to be understanding and try again, etc. This hostess had none of those skills. Her attitude and harshness left us all angry. I even considered canceling my CSA box and asking for a refund. In addition to dealing with lousy employees such as this, we'd like to see GTF implement a more customer friendly reservation system, especially for customers who travel distances. read more

Had dinner at Gathering Together Farm while in Corvallis to see an Oregon State Beaver football game (they won against Hawaii, yea!) with friends. The place is actually located in Philomath, some would say out in the woods, and they wouldn't be far off! But it is easy to find, but not easy to get reservations; need a couple of weeks planning to get in on the two nights, Thursday and Friday, they serve dinner. It is that popular! The food is plentiful, healthy and very, very good. It is very casual, and not fast, but the servers are great. We pretty much all had salads, and they were fresh, huge and excellent. Some of us had pizza, from the open oven in the dining room, and others had flank steak, all of which were very good. This is a fun experience and I don't think you'd be disappointed in trying it. Need to add, their wine pours seem a bit skimpy, but the corkage is only $6 per bottle-so you might consider, as we did, bringing your own wine! read more

Just had another meal at GTF, and it was amazing. The slow, spacey service of my previous visit was nowhere in evidence. Our server was Josh, and he was very attentive and pleasant! The food was truly amazing, and very reasonably priced considering the quality and freshness. We had swift service (though I would have been happy to wait) and everything was perfect. read more

What a fantastic surprise. Expected tofu, lettuce and smug attitudes. What we received was prompt courteous service. An exciting menu with choices of vegan, duck, beef, chicken, or fish. Flavors were exciting and different. Can hardly wait to visit with friends again. read more

Gorgeous farm alongside Marys River. I have been getting our CSA basket there for over 10 years and it is always amazing! Also the restaurant and dining is delicious and a special treat. read more

Love the food but the customer service just gets worse and worse. Tonight we were told that the kitchen wouldn't allow us to order appetizers with our drinks; we had to submit our whole order together. All delish once it arrived but every time I visit it's a new rule - no appetizer orders, no separate checks, if our group of 10 wanted to have brunch all we could order was scrambled eggs, bacon, and toast. Makes me wonder - do you value your loyal customers? read more

Such a great find! Randomly decided to try it out after reading information pamphlet in our Corvallis hotel room about attractions in the area. It soon became a new destination and highlight of our trip. The staff was friendly and informative and we loved the showcase of local beers and wines. Dining area was gorgeous with the perfect ambiance. Our waitress brought us a free salad so we could sample a new dressing they were trying out. Also the menu's theme changes daily based on whats fresh off the farm that day and they get all their meats from other neighboring farms. We ordered a ragu and a wood fired pizza (complete with homemade pepperoni) and both were AMAZING. We ate so much we had to practically roll out to our car. Loved the traditional and authentic style of the pizza. After dinner we shopped around in their shop for fresh, affordable produce. Definitely going again when we're in the area. read more
