Corvallis restaurant recommendation?

My husband and I will be through Corvallis June 10 and taking an old family friend out to dinner. Would like recommendation on really good spot --- quality more important than price. Prefer American (grills, etc) or Italian style food. I%26#39;ve read through the TA restaurant rating posts and many seem to be done with price as the key determiner of rating or done by college students (whose tastes tend to be different than those of us ';mid-lifers';!)

Thanks for any help.
