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.

Always went well with the new recipes and the frequent favorites. Trying the summer hash today.read more

Everything on our plates complemented the steak and fish. Both were cooked perfectly and literally melted in our mouths. I've been in the food industry for years and have found a place that really knows food and the process to make it an experience. I almost forget the server who took the time to help us with our food choices and drinks. Get in here my friends. You won't be disappointed Cheers The Dutchman

What an amazing gem tucked away in Philomath! This diner has some of the best breakfast I've had in…read morea long time and it seems like they do ever single thing on the menu right. I got the french toast with apples and it was not too sweet and there was a great flavor from the fruit. I could tell the bread was baked in house and it was so yummy. I definitely think you could share the meal. Also, the servers were very kind and I loved the cute little knick knacks around the space. I also got an iced caramel latte and it was nothing special but they gave the right espresso to milk ratio which is an art in itself and i appreciated! I hope to come back next time i'm in Oregon!

Francesca was our server and she is the sweetest. Trust her, she won't steer you wrong. If you like French 75 and love grapefruit, you'll love the Latin 75, It's so good and refreshing. Start with tapas - the beef chilaquiles is superb! the yellowfin crudo is also an excellent choice - the papaya is fabulous, and the seared scallops are spot on. For the entrees - the bbq beef is delicious, the chicken adobo is outstanding and the sopas are wonderful. The sopas are black bean and it's a hearty meal. The chicken adobo is so tender and mouth watering. Even if you don't have a special occasion, this is a wonderful place to dine. Ask for Francesca for your server, she helps make it special as well! Can't wait to come back Ok, if there's one downside, is that the tables on the second and third floor are a little dark (but it could be because I'm old and my eye sight is not what it use to be).

The menu is broad enough that there's plenty to pick from. We were there for dinner. The food was delicious! Mom had the grilled cheese with sweet potato fries (they were even good as cold leftovers!!). The sandwich comes with a combo of 3 melted cheeses. Dad had the honey glazed chicken. Also really good. Hubby had the 2-meat BBQ plate with pulled pork and 1/2 rack of ribs. He really liked his ribs. He was pleased with the baked beans, too. And I got the steak salad. Delicious! When trying a new place, I always go for that and I was not disappointed one bit! I tried both the baker's roll (rosemary and sage today) and the heart attack roll. Neither made me think I was eating GF. As first-timers, we were given free chocolate chip cookies. The centers were soft and moist with crisp edges. I do like a ymmy sweet to finish off the meal. It's really nice to have a GF restaurant where the family can all go and find something without compromising selection or taste. We'll certainly be back!!

We tried a variety of tacos (curry chicken, Peking duck, fish, barbacoa, and al pastor) and every single one was packed with flavor and perfectly prepared. The fresh, hot chips with both the green and red salsas were next-level good. Honestly, we could've made a meal out of just that. We also enjoyed a rosé sangria and a Tempranillo from Spain, both excellent and really complemented the food well. Beyond the food and drinks, the atmosphere was just as memorable. It was relaxed, inviting, and a perfect spot to sit back and enjoy the moment. This is definitely one of those places you want to come back to again and again.

Inside is a decorative interior with plants and wooden walls in the summer time that looks very bright and inviting. Service can take a while because there are usually 1-2 people running the front and carrying out food. I didn't mind it at all because the place is so nice. Menu is decent size with lots of options to choose from. I got the Cajun Penne which has Tri color bell peppers, house made sausage, chicken,, chorizo, andouille, cream, garlic, parmesan, Cajun spice, and 2 slices Bodhi Bread. Cost me about $20 bucks and worth every penny. Good amount of spice, rich and flavorful. Overall a lovely place to eat and more than happy to come here and eat again.

It came out piping hot and loaded with chicken, mushrooms, tomatoes, cilantro, and all of those bright lemongrass and lime flavors you want in Tom Yum. I ordered a 3 out of 5 for spice, and it definitely had some heat! It was spicy enough to notice but didn't overpower all the other flavors. The service was also great. The bartender was friendly, attentive, and incredibly quick. I Between the relaxed atmosphere, fast service, huge menu, and a bowl of Tom Yum that actually brought some spice, this was a really enjoyable stop.

Unless sold out, they have vegan donuts and icings available. I've always been met with friendly and prompt service here, which is really nice since Monroe Ave. can be a busy place. Be sure to ask for a punch card if you don't yet have one so you can work your way to a raffle prize. While located in a small space, there are a few places to sit inside and they recently moved a large shelf along one of the walls to make room for more seating. There's also (covered) places to sit outside. Whether you're dining in or taking your stash to go, you're in for a tasty time.

It was indeed very delicious treat, not too sweet and moist. Definitely worth a drop in. There are a few small tables for two people to sit down and a table out two outside as well. I do wish there they had a little bit more variety of donuts but we should up after lunch so maybe we missed the other donuts.
