The lamb with chimichurri sauce and tapenade was absolutely amazing!!! The wine pairing suggested was perfect! Jesse did a fantastic job throughout the meal. He warned there were reservations we could be worked into and we reassured that we could be patient, but we felt very well attended to at all points. The roulade appetizer was wonderful! We definitely will work Sybaris into our regular date night.

The restaurant is spacious so you don't have to hear other dining groups' conversation. The food was well thought out, beautifully presented, bread was warm, flavors were creative. Peanut sauce appetizer, chilled watercress soup, pan-fried sole, Mom's graduation dessert, all so delicious! Wonderful food and top-notch service. And while there are some very good, nice restaurants in Corvallis and Albany that we also enjoy, the service at Sybaris puts it at the top. We look forward to dining in their new location when they reopen.

I've been coming to The Depot for years. It was the kind of place you brought out-of-towners to…read moreshow them what this area does right, the chowder alone was worth the drive. That history is exactly why writing this is so hard. Something has changed, and not subtly. On my last two visits, the beer arrived warm! Not slightly off-temperature, but noticeably, unpleasantly warm. The chowder that used to be a signature has a different flavor profile now; it tastes like a recipe was altered or a key ingredient swapped out. And the fish was undercooked. That's wild, since it's friend and they use to check the pieces. You could see where they did in the past. I was served undercooked fish!! I hoped these mistakes were a one-offs, but a pattern has emerged. I've now seen over the last year. I'm so bummed. I'm not alone in noticing. I've run into other longtime regulars who've said the same things unprompted. That tells me this isn't bad luck. I actually saw two other tables have issues when I was in last week. I couldn't hear exactly what, but I could hear the apology and the waitresses face. The wait staff is defeated. I want to be clear: this is not about the waitstaff. The front-of-house team has been as friendly and attentive as ever. They're doing their jobs well. Whatever has shifted is happening at the kitchen or management level, and they shouldn't carry the weight of it. Frankly, I think this is an owner or manager issue. Something is very seriously wrong. I've given The Depot real chances because I genuinely wanted to be wrong. This last visit was the breaking point for me. I won't be back for now, and that genuinely saddens me, because this place earned a loyal customer over many years. To whoever is making decisions behind the scenes: your reputation was built on consistency and quality. People in this community remember what this restaurant was. I hope you hear the feedback that's coming your way and treat it as the signal it is, not noise. The Depot deserves to be the place it used to be. I hope it gets there. If anyone finds things turn around, please leave a review. I want to go back. I'll be watching, but I just can't go there again. It's not been good for so many of my last visits. This isn't just because they don't chill the beer glasses, don't have the wine, undercooked fish, out if items, or funky chowder. It's all of it.

GETTING HERE: Was…read moretraveling and found we were near this restaurant and the reviews were encouraging. Decided to give them a shot! The address is correct on Yelp so rest assured you'll arrive without issue. REVIEW: Came with a group and it was a good dining experience. Glad to have given them a try. The lone server for us was really good, too. Sincere and kind. Managed our group very well. A variety of items (Pot Roast, Burger, Salmon, etc.) and drinks were ordered (alcohol, strawberry lemonade, coke, etc.) and the consensus was positive. I ordered the Fish and Chips and while the cod was flavorful, sadly the fries were served cold. I decided not to send them back for sake of time. Prices weren't too bad. The ambiance was calm, quiet, open, inviting. I would recommend Cascade Grill and will make it a return trip when I'm next in Oregon. Thanks!

This was the only place that said,"Yeah, we can seat you!" So, hubs and I make our way from our roadside motel (Studio 6, review will be posted) to downtown Albany. The parking situation was a little confusing, but we found parking a few blocks from the restaurant. We got a table, yay! The place is pretty cool, it was a bank back in the day. They have a nice limited menu which offers options for all sorts of food preferences. So, our table was full of carnivores, lol. Hubs had the special which was a smoked prime rib, daughter's boyfriend had the Wagyu Brisket burger and my college grad had the filet. I also had the filet. Everything was super tasty! I would totally recommend if you aren't in a hurry. The servers were great.

It's just non flavored cream with fizz water Truffle fries: some of the best textured fries I've had. Really crispy on the outside. Could be perfect if the truffle flavor is a bit stronger Creole Prawn: the bread is really crispy. The shrimp and sauce isn't very Cajun for my taste. More of a northwest interpretation. Pretty mild Pork porterhouse: huge chunk of pork. The outside is a bit dry. Inside is pretty tender. However, it's lacking flavor. The tomato sauce isn't adding much flavor either. Top sirloin: it's ok. Wanted to order the burger but it's sold out. Just a normal steak. Nothing special Cream brûlée: love this one. Huge size for just 7$. Silky smooth custard with fresh fruit. The only downside is the sugar on top is a bit burned Service is good. Waitress is very nice.

If you've ever rolled into Albany late in the evening and thought, "Now where in the world am I…read moregonna get a decent bite?" allow me to point you toward an old standby: Pop's Branding Iron. This place has been holding down the fort for what feels like forever, and walking in feels a bit like stepping into a time capsule where the coffee's hot, the plates are big, and nobody's in a hurry to reinvent the diner. One of my personal favorites is the patty melt simple, classic, and exactly what a patty melt ought to be. My daughter has her own favorite on the menu Monte-Cristo with fries that could probably feed a small ranch crew, That's kind of part of the charm here. The portions are big, the prices are fair, and when a lot of places in town have already shut their lights off for the night, Pop's is still there doing its thing. Now, I'll be honest it shows its age a little. A bit of cleaning and polishing here and there wouldn't hurt. But honestly, that worn-in feel is part of the story. If you're looking for something affordable, old-fashioned, and dependable especially later in the evening Pop's Branding Iron is definitely worth a stop. Four stars from me, and a tip of the hat to a place that's been feeding folks for generations.
