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.

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.

With its combination of tasty tacos, drinks and a celebratory atmosphere, it's easy to see why this place is popular in a university town, with wait times on the weekends pulling in up to one hour waits. I ordered a steak taco and a grilled steelhead trout taco, the daily special. We additionally ordered carnitas tacos. From a service perspective, we had a misfire. One item, an agua Fresca (passion fruit?) that our waiter recommended, turned out to be incredibly sour. Possibly it was out of season. It's rare that I send an item back, but when it happens, most places handle it graciously. Here, unfortunately, telling the waiter my pucker-y agua fresca didn't taste good, received an initial refusal back from the owner to send back the drink, & an offer that I keep the drink, and simple syrup be added to sweeten it, which wasn't something I was excited for, given the tart bite of my first sip. But I agreed, at their insistence, to try that, finding it still incredibly sour. The initial refusal to make things right, right off the bat, didn't leave a positive impression.
