    The first time I went here was on a night out after having dinner at a place near by. We decided to continue our night by going to the snug bar. Everything about it was wonderful. The bartender, the lighting, the music. It was all great. Since then I have gone back 3 times with my friends and family and every time it has been wonderful. Food is delicious upstairs at magenta as well as the cocktails. But you walk downstairs and it just gets even better. No matter how busy the place is service moves quick and the bartender assures you are happy and you have what you need. I could not recommend this place enough. Do yourself a favor and go here!

    Pretty disappointing experience eating at Magenta. I was really excited about the place being SE Asian owned, as there aren't many options for this cuisine around the area. I came here for happy hour ($1 off street foods, $4 pints, and $1 off cocktails/wines/spirits) and got an order of Laotian tacos with chicken ($13). My food looked appetizing, but the chicken was cold. Nothing about the tacos seemed Laotian or remotely Asian except the ginger salsa and peanuts sprinkled on top. Besides the chicken being cold, the tacos were bad necessarily, but they weren't great either - nothing I would pay $13 for anyway. They also charge a ~4% surcharge for credit card, which they do not post anywhere on the menu/website/at the restaurant. The one good thing about this place is the seating area, which was nice. Overall a pretty disappointing experience. Pay cash if you don't want a surcharge snuck into your check total.

    I went here with my friends. Got the appetizer platter, which is a very nice surprise. Very fun to try different appetizers. Love their curry balls. For entrée I got the lemongrass vegetable green curry, I forgot the exact name of the dish. The serving was big, but it wasn't seasoned very well in my opinion. The people working there were very nice.

    Ordered the Laotian Street Tacos (1 chicken and 1 fish). The fish tacos were great; they paired really well with the ginger sauce. The chicken tacos were not the best. When the chicken tacos were brought out, the chicken itself was cold. It was sort of hard to look past cold chicken. Service was also okay. Be aware that the restaurant has a 3.75% surcharge if you're paying with a credit card. It's not made readily apparent on the receipt so don't be surprised when you see an extra charge after they swipe your card. Overall, I was satisfied with the fish taco but the chicken taco was pretty disappointing. May or may not be back.

    Waited 30 min. Was told chief was "training" new employees and had not started our dinner. We walked out with free beers. Fire that chef.

    Delicious food and such an amazing variety. You can go again and again and no need to order the same meal twice. Fresh and very flavorful.

    Local wine, great curry and reasonable prices. Not pretentious and delicious. Not a place for craft beer people.

    Rainy Day, Great Bar Seat, and One Memorable Meal…read more It was a cold, rainy Oregon afternoon when I stumbled into Castor, and I'm glad I did. There happened to be one open seat at the bar, which is my favorite place to dine when traveling. Sitting at the bar lets you talk story with the bartender, learn the menu, and watch the cocktails come together. If you're eating alone, I highly recommend grabbing a seat here. The bartender was friendly, easy to talk with, and clearly knew both the menu and the craft behind the bar. One thing that stood out right away was their use of fresh local ingredients, which really shows up in the flavor of the dishes and drinks. I started with the Golden Manhattan, made with a pecan-infused bourbon that was fantastic. It had a rich, slightly nutty flavor with warm vanilla notes and just the right touch of sweetness. Smooth, balanced, and a great way to kick off the meal. Alongside that I ordered the chorizo clam chowder, which brought a creamy base with just the right amount of spice from the chorizo. Comfort food with a little personality. For dinner I switched gears and ordered the Creole Sour. This one really stood out. Bright citrus up front, a smooth bourbon backbone, and a subtle spice note that tied perfectly into the Creole theme. It had that classic sour balance, tart, slightly sweet, and refreshing without overpowering the drink. Dinner was the gumbo with hot bread and butter, and it delivered. Deep flavor, a nice slow warmth from the spice, and hearty enough to make the rainy Oregon weather feel like part of the experience. To finish things off I kept it simple with a neat pour of Ben Holladay, which made for the perfect nightcap. The staff were welcoming and relaxed, which made the whole experience feel easy and comfortable. This is the kind of place that works whether you're dining solo, meeting friends, out with someone special, or grabbing dinner with a group. The price point landed right where it should be for the quality of food, cocktails, and service. If you're in Corvallis and can grab a seat at the bar at Castor, take it. Order a cocktail, settle in, and enjoy the ride. It turned a rainy afternoon into one heck of a meal.
