The food , services and ambience are just about the best in Corvallis. We really enjoy eating there

Have been trying to come here for the last 3 years but there was always something. Make reservations in advance as this is a popular place. So glad we finally got to dine here. 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). read more

I wish I'd had enough room to finish the flourless chocolate tart. It was even better than the filet I'd ordered! read more

Fantastic experience every time. Second time ordering the filet - it was just as good as the first time and tasted the exact same. The complimentary bread was fresh, while the dipping sauces that go with it add a great variety of unique flavor. Lastly, the Café on Leche for desert was smooth and delicious read more

Del Almo provides a delightful evening experience with sophisticated and cozy ambiance. Enjoyed the Wednesday three course dinner special.

Dinner included selections: Roasted Delicata: A seasonal squash dish featuring moscatel vinegar, spiced pepitas (pumpkin seeds), shaved mahon cheese, and romesco sauce. Bacon Guacamole: A smoky twist on a classic, served with house-cured bacon, chipotles, hazelnuts, and fresh chips.

I was in Corvo for a business meeting and met a colleague for dinner at my favorite restaurant. I have not been there since my son graduated from OSU and it is still wonderful. Service great, lovely surroundings! The food was as delicious as ever. We asked for a wine selection and the Spanish wine he suggested was perfect. We were both pretty hungry so the complementary bread with three dips hit the spot. We shared a couple of Tapas: beef chilaquiles and the beef tenderloin ponchos. Both were so good! We were not hungry enough anymore to each have an entree so we shared the prawns in creama. For a couple of extra bucks they plated it on two plates. Photo attached. I am not regularly in Corvallis any more so this was a special treat! read more

The chips and salsa/ guac was the perfect app. The place is great for a nice dinner out. We have been there twice to celebrate a couple of special events. It's a nice place to gather with family for a nice dinner out or for a celebration. Do wish the kids menu offered some red meat options but most places don't seem to. It would just be a nice addition. read more

Very odd ambience and lighting and table arrangement walking in. Almost made me wanna leave but I was committed. No host, had to seat ourselves. The servers that helped us were wonderful. Only lovely things to say about them. Aside from that, the menu has some recognizable dishes but very humble stuff that is a little weird and difficult to make fancy and charge so much for, like flautas and a quesadilla. They had beef pozole the night we visited and I'm quite sure it was just their birria broth with hominy and it was not good at all. It was also in a terrible bowl with a terribly heavy, weirdly shaped spoon. Very difficult to eat. And no cilantro or lime with the few shreds of cabbage and an old wedge of watermelon radish for garnish. There are some good ideas and everything tasted *okay* but there's a lack of perspective that makes it all pretty pretentious. We left hungry and annoyed that we paid so much to be hungry. I go down a star when I don't want to return to a place, so...yeah. Sorry? read more

We went to Del Alma for our anniversary and it was delightful. Our reservation was easy to make and they were ready when we arrived, no waiting. The hostess was friendly and pleasant! We ordered the filet Mignon and the beef flautas along with the seafood chowder and the roasted beets. Everything tasted excellent (and I don't normally like beets). Our waitress, Ilana, was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. She made the dinner interesting and fun. The space is comfortable and interesting. We were able to have a conversation without feeling like we were talking loudly or being listened to. This may be one of my favorite places to eat in Corvallis! Excellent experience! read more

We sat in lounge because we had reservations, but out babysitter was late. I noticed lots of spider webs hanging from light fixtures. We were never offered three course menu. It was Thursday. Food was flavorful and courses times perfectly. Service was not really that outgoing or seemingly happy to be there. read more

When you're downtown and want a meal with a view, definitely come through. This restaurant is downtown on the river. Even during the winter of my discontent, I still want to be near a body of water. And there's no secret handshake. (If you know, you know). Lots of after work cocktails and yummy appetizers. del Alma does not disappoint. The staff is classy for Corvallis. This isn't fine dining or anything like that, but it's thoughtful and has some special touches. I mean that with all sincerity and heart. They want you to have a fantastic and memorable experience. I asked for some appetizers without the meat, and it was no problem. So we enjoyed the guacamole sans bacon. The guacamole was good but pretty simple for guac. It's still a delicious start, and the plantain chips are the standout. I think it could be served without tortilla chips and only the plantains. Next time I want to try their brussel sprouts sans the chorizo. We had the quesadillas and asked for some hot sauce to go with. I think it really should come with a hot sauce, but it doesn't, so remember to ask. We were brought a stunning arbol sauce that had all the kick we needed. I liked the quesadillas, but when looking for vegetarian options, it's not typically what I'm craving. The beet salad was the knockout dish tonight. The beets were warm, the goat cheese sauce creamy, the marmalade filled with flavor, a surprise fennel shaving that added some flair, and a sprinkling of hazelnut that gave the perfect crunch. I will eat this again. For dessert, you must have the key lime pie. It's an adorable specimen that is the perfect amount to share with someone who says they don't have room for dessert. It's served so lovely, too. It's worth a visit even if you stick to the appetizers and dessert. I would like to see some classier cocktail glasses and garnishes. They have a lovely bar and cocktail menu, so it would really boost that selection. I would also love one more vegetarian option, but if you enjoy meat, you'll have plenty to choose from. See you soon, del Alma. read more

Location to hotel (Courtyard) lucky amazing and convenient. Service was great. Food great. Wine by glass options ok to above average. Needed a +1 wine drinker as bottle selection was great. read more

This place was delicious. It certainly beats bar/casual dining at the Courtyard. The bar area is for people without reservations and it was perfect. I haven't eaten all day so order 4 apps. It came very quick and was yummy! Yes, I ate them all. My favorite was the shrimp dishes. The yellowtail crudo was great also. read more

We went for a special dinner with With Friends. The atmosphere is fantastic, the servers professional, and each dish that we had was made to perfection. We especially loved their martinis ! You can't go wrong going here for celebrating a special occasion . read more

This place! Hidden gem for sure. My husband's client suggested we try del Alma and I am so glad he did. Every thing was so great from the moment we walked in to the very last bite. All the flavors are delicious, you can taste all the layers, everything is so fresh and unique. We had the asparagus for an appetizer, I had the chicken for dinner and my husband had the filet -- *chef's kiss* Our server was a delight, she had excellent suggestions, she was so friendly and everything came out perfectly. I was texting friends while we were eating telling them they need to try it. We will be back and we will bring friends because everyone needs to experience this place. Very classy little restaurant! I don't often give five stars, but honestly I couldn't find one thing to consider a negative. read more

Del Alma is just a few steps outside of the Courtyard by Marriott property. There are other eateries right next door. I hoped to try them all and started with this one. Del Alma is a small-ish restaurant. The ambiance is modern with romantic lighting. With limited seating, I ended up at a tall bar-style table with high bar-style chairs that would have been more comfortable if I were taller and not wearing a dress. The not-so-comfy seating aside, my service was excellent and my meal and wine were delightful. Dinner and one glass of wine set me back almost $60. My only wish is that I had more comfortable seating (regular height table and chairs). read more

Ambiance is lovely with all the wood and the multiple levels. We were greeted warmly and seated promptly. The service was spot on - attentive but not smothering. The food was inventive and delicious! Had the prawn appetizer (amazing tortillas) and the bacon guacamole. Both great! Only the bread was a little disappointing ( but free). For mains we had filet with mashed potatoes, the scallops with shishito peppers (fantastic) and the beef skewers (tender and delicious). The cocktails were all well made and super. They even remembered my son's birthday! read more

Food and beverages were great! I sat at the bar as usual and received wonderful service from the staff. Enjoyed the comfortable atmosphere and vibe. read more

This is hands down the best restaurant in the Corvallis area. Consistency is the reason, not to mention an excellent, well thought out menu . This establishment isn't good if you hit it at the right time, it is excellent every single time ! If it's open, you're in for a treat! The staff knows the menu and specials inside out, not to mention, that perfect wine to go with whatever you order. So if you're looking for that special evening out in the Corvallis area, this is the place! Don't forget to make reservations, it books out fast. read more

Personable service, thoughtful and kind. Delicious salsas and the beef in our Arepa was tender and perfectly seasoned. The tortilla strips were addicting! read more

Had dinner in the bar area that other night. Great food with a menu that is somewhat unique in Corvallis.

Ug bring Cavemate for special day. Eat and share many treats(small plates). Taste range from expected to bless the gods for these offerings. Main dish made experience just that bit more. Dwelling staff and manager is of the best quality. Feel and light of river cave is very comfortable. Cavemate enjoy cocktails, recommend spicy one. Ug enjoy house refreshment non fermented. Would return for that nectar alone. Ug say you go, enjoy read more

Who knew you could find fine dining in Corvallis! Classy casual to elegant dining room. Attentive servers. Beautifully presented tapas. Perfect cosmo. They let us take three hours over our food and drink while we caught up with old friends. read more

The best atmosphere. Low lights and candles make for a relaxing fancier experience. And let me tell you, the food is to die for. The appetizers are delicious and the Lamb with Mole sauce is fall apart good. Fast friendly service. read more

Amazing, to say the least. Went here on a business dinner and glad we did. A little hard to find but very much worth the effort. Establishment is upscale and well decorated with derive second to none and given with a great attitude. Two of us had the Carne Asada, the other the Filet. Keep in mind, this isn't your dads Carne Asada, and that's all I will say about that. The meat, seasoning etc., was unique and tasty. The Key Line Pie isn't your mothers, either. I must admit, I have never seen such a presentation. Our server said it was " Like eating clouds it's so light!" She was right. BTW, the Bacon Guacamole is unbeatable. When in the area, get onto Open Table and make reservations. You won't regret it! read more

I really have no complaints and I would consider myself a food critic. First off shout out Molly. Wow she's amazing. What a humble, service first host. She was attentive and her vibe was just awesome! If you read this and get her tell her about this review lol! On to the food! I had the filet mignon! It was juicy when cooked medium. The mash potatoes were awesome as well as whatever those greens were. I also had a hibiscus tea. It was niceee. Over all I give this place a 9.5/10. I travel a lot and I taste lots of food. Very rare to get a close to perfect rating from me. Give this place a shot! read more

Fabulous food and wonderful setting. They may not always have their Wednesday special but when they do, go for it! A $30 meal with appetizer, main course, and dessert and you have 3 choices. Yum! read more

Oh my *insert whatever being you talk to when things are amazing*!!!!! Thank you to everyone involved in the production of this restaurant because it is amazing in every way. The cocktails, tapas, main dishes, service, ambiance, attention to detail, textures, freshness of ingredients.... All spot on. We had a full table of food and drinks with 3 courses and the bill was only $100.... Unheard of in today's world. read more

Absolutely fantastic meal. Our server was kind and attentive. Our drinks were perfect and food was beyond delicious. Can't wait to go back.

Truly some of the best food in Corvallis. Delicious cocktails, yummy tapas, very good service. We had the potatoes bravas, yellowfin crudo, chilaquiles. The potatoes were great, the crudo was Stellar. The dips for the bread - white bean, red peppers and goat cheese, and tapenade were so good. The chilaquiles were not good and went largely uneaten. My Hemingway daiquiri was scrumptious. The hacienda salad was disappointing to my daughter and she wanted me to give Del alma four stars. I thought the salad was fine, if unexciting, and I think one of the best restaurants in this college town with mostly mediocre food choices deserves five stars. My god she is picky. The outdoor seating was fabulous - right along the River, watching the world go by. The seats were comfortable, the vibe relaxed. The inside looked a tad stuffy for our tastes. D was wearing shorts and most of us outside diners were pretty casual. Inside was pretty but a bit stiff and formal. Anymore, I want to relax when I'm eating a nice meal - I've had a lifetime full of pretentious eating experiences. We took our dessert to go because we were so full. It was creative and delicious - flourless chocolate cake with a bit of orange with roasted hazelnuts, a passion fruit caramel, and Chantilly cream. So great to eat grown up food in Corvallis. read more

Best kept secret in Corvallis. Superior server staff and receptionist(s). The food matches the server skills. Scallops and halibut dishes exceeded expectations ! Awesome ambiance outside, quiet and serene. Have gone back twice and each visit was tops ! Bucket list experience ! read more

Del Alma was right across the street from my hotel, and it was open so i figured it would try it and was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food and service. The layout is a bit unusual with the restaurant being on four different levels, we were seated on the top level giving us a bird's eye view of the entire restaurant which was quite nice. Started with the mushroom quesadilla which was excellent and had the Quesabirria, the beef was done perfectly, the corn salsa bed was a bit mild but flavorful and overall just a fantastic dish. I highly recommend this place read more

This is a fabulous restaurant that celebrates Latin cuisine. Each dish we enjoyed had complex and depth of flavor. I didn't take a picture of the corn soup I had, that was also amazing. Hector was our server. He was attentive, pleasant and friendly. I hesitated coming here because who has Latin cuisine at this price point in Corvallis Oregon? I grew up eating Mexican food both at the taco stand and at the "elevated" restaurants in LA and Miami. Del Amo is delicious. If you are an OSU Beaver, you can even have your school colors. I have never had bacon guacamole before. A perfect appetizer. Upscale atmosphere without the pretension. Extra bonus points for being within walking distance to the Courtyard by Marriott, on the riverfront and a nice boardwalk. I wish we enjoyed something on the cocktail menu, but we brought a bottle of champagne for this occasion. read more

We asked 2 friends to join us at Del Alma. The purpose was to show our appreciation for a huge favor they had done for us.

Food was great but man, the service and staff were terrible. Despite the dated, 90s aesthetic, we decided to to return to del Alma for the food on our anniversary. The server was... cheerful... in a very fake theatric way. But that wasn't even the problem. Toward the end of our $130 meal at 9:01 our server came to our table to clear plates. I asked for another glass of wine, as we hadn't seen her in 20 minutes (we were 1 of 4 tables there- now we know why). She said the bar was closed and it was against "OLCC law" to serve anyone past 9. Unfortunately she was speaking to two people with a collective 20 years of bartending experience who know that is simply not true. We didn't let it ruin our special night but we sure will enjoy talking about it. Do better. You guys could be a really awesome spot for young professionals and even students looking for a great dining experience but man, we will definitely NOT be back. read more

We went to Del Alma based on Yelp reviews. The food was as good as it was presented. We all enjoyed our meal so much we made reservations and returned the following evening. My husband loved his steak and the halibut the next night equally so. Service was fast and attentive throughout the meal for both nights. Ambiance was upbeat and welcoming. We very much enjoyed our time there and plan to return. read more
