    Food spread

    Great food! The atmosphere is professional and the ambiance is amazing. This is a great place for dates. I enjoy getting a couple dishes and sharing with the table!

    Shoot. Last night I took my boyfriend here to celebrate a special event & we left so disappointed! We got there at 7:15 & we were stuck there for over 2 hours! I ordered 2 things and both came out wrong. Our waitress spoke very loudly and we could hear her having long personal conversations with people a couple tables away from us for 10+ minutes at a time, several times. While we waited for her, we ran out of water a few times and I had to ask for more. It was over an hour before our order was even taken. We did flag her down to order an appetizer, brussel sprouts with cheese on the side due to a dairy allergy, but... the sprouts came out with cheese on them. They corrected this fairly promptly, but then we sat for another 45 minutes before our order was actually taken. I ordered a steak as "somewhere between medium & medium well" and she correctly repeated my order back to me "medium/medium well." When the steak came out, it was WELL well done. Like, burnt. I wanted to send it back, but I didn't want to deal with the embarrassment or have to wait even longer for food. We were about an hour & 45 minutes into dinner by the time we got our food. I was so disappointed! I also wanted to get dessert to celebrate the occasion but the service was SO slow that we had to cancel our after-dinner plans. We ordered it anyway & requested the check promptly, giving up on our plans for the rest of the evening. We were only a party of 2, we arrived early for our reservation, & we watched several larger parties come and go while we waited for our order to even be taken. It was a Wednesday night and not overly busy, there were several empty tables, so I'm not sure what the hold up was. We were also seated at an odd table next to the kitchen with a small divider between us and the staff. It was noisy and I even heard 2 staff members exchange a joke about how someone else had left & said they'd never come back. They laughed about it. I wish I had the guts those people had to get up & leave! I've never once left less than a 20% tip and felt immense guilt not tipping well, but after experiencing the poor service then also hearing the staff blatantly acknowledge it & not care.... I was appalled. The Hilton bought the hotel attached to De Fuego and I'm shocked. This was a Monarch hotel before and I'd assume that the Hilton's standards would be higher but the service and quality here have tanked hopelessly low since the acquisition. I had a similar experience at The Underground before it closed. I've learned my lesson & won't come here for a special occasion again.

    Listen, lemme tell ya Defugo ain't just a bar, it's like a little love letter to your taste buds, okay? First off, getting in? Fuggedaboutit. The line moves smoother than a jazz sax on a Saturday night. You step in, and bam people are smiling like they just found a hundred-dollar bill in their coat pocket. The vibe? Oh mama... it's cozy, sultry, and kinda cheeky, like it knows you've had a rough week and it's here to fix it. The cocktails? Each one's a freakin' masterpiece. I swear, they sneak a little magic in there, 'cause suddenly your problems shrink and your grin gets wider. And the whiskey? Smooth enough to make your grandma blush, and she's tough as nails. But here's the kicker the people. Everyone's like your best friend you didn't know you had. Bartenders? Wizards. Staff? Angels with funny jokes. You want a spot that feels like your secret club, your little slice of heaven with just enough sass to keep it exciting? Defugo, baby, Defugo. Bottom line: if you haven't been, you owe it to yourself. Take your special someone, your best friend, heck, even your cousin who thinks whiskey is too "grown-up." You'll leave smiling, tipsy, and thinking, "Yeah, life is pretty damn delicious." Five stars, no question.

    Breakfast asado

    The weather is has finally gone off the deep end in Portland so if you wanna get brunch but not be forced to wait outside in line for one of the hyped brunches in town come to de Fuego, a hidden gem that serves an under the radar solid brunch with no wait but still a bit more elevated than your typical restaurant. For $50 you can order their Breakfast Asado which feeds 2-3 people and comes with a plethora of food and sauces. You'll get a decent amount of hangar steak, sausage (chorizo?) bacon, toast, eggs, amazing roasted potatoes and some chimichurri, romesco, and a pesto? I'm not sure but it all tastes great and at $50 it's an incredible value as well. *Zero wait *Good value *Nice vibe *Parking lot *Good/great food This place is the total package and easily one of the most slept on places for brunch in the Portland area.

    Hello Yelpies You're in for the ultimate culinary experience here. The menu has great choices with something for everyone. With first class service and an amazing dining experience you will never be disappointed . Just get in here and enjoy

    Chicken sandwich (barely)
    Eric I.

    What happened? Staff and decor is still excellent, but why have they cheapened up their food? It's been a long since I have said, "where's the beef?", but their chicken sandwich left me asking that question. Taste was pretty generic too. I just don't understand how a restaurant can go from 10 oz chicken sandwiches to 3 ounce once ones.

    Burger + fries. 7/5/25

    The hubby and I were staying in a hotel just a block or two away from de Fuego and this restaurant was at the top of yelp with. 4.5 rating. It's a tavern located in the Monarch Hotel. Although it was after 6pm on Friday, the happy hour menu was effective and the dinner menu was not available. That was no problem as the happy hour prices were great. For me, I did not order any alcoholic beverages nor a mocktail. Just pork belly tacos and an ice water. Tasty and crunchy yet a little greasy. Hubby got a burger and fries. For the sangria available, it was a mocktail version. Everything was good but, not remarkable. Service was okay too. It was just our server and the bartender working. Not too busy and she seemed to be handling all the customers well indoors and out. Parking is plentiful and free. 3.5 stars overall but rounded down to 3. Just A-OK.

    As our church group, we've been here before, so I was calling again to make reservation. The staff answering the phone asked me: "Was this for one check?" And I responded with: "there will be 10 of us, and each one will be paying for their own, except three of us. The minute we sat down, I was asked again, "one check? It is our requirement for over 6 to pay in one check." I repeated: "They would want to pay for their own checks, but I'll ask if they want to do that." He also asked me: "Are you celebrating anything?" I said: "Yes, we're celebrating our 51st Wedding Anniversary, and one a birthday." All 9 of us showed up, except one. I mentioned to my guests, over 6 they required only one check. My guests were quite disappointed. If that was such an issue, we would have gone elsewhere! Of course, they weren't listening, and since they all live in different cities, and apartments or retirement homes, many of them DO NOT CARRY CASH! The lunch were enjoyed. The waiting was long, even though, it wasn't crowded, lunch time, only a few were eating. Only two servers. I understand, short staff everywhere. The food, we enjoyed them, the servings were tasty and as far as bringing our group here again. . . .? Whatever happened to the question of: Are we celebrating?

    After our honeymoon in Costa Rica where we had tried a Argentine style restaurant and fell in love with one another as well as the food when we were there. Upon returning home we chanced upon the de Fuego close to our home and all I can say is wow' the very generous portions of steak that we ordered we simply couldn't finish it all. service was too good. We certainly never left hungry? 5 stars*****!

    Breakfast Asado
    Xiadani G.

    The restaurant is so nice! We loved the seating area, we got a booth. Our server was attentive and patient with our party. The food was delicious! My husband and I shared the breakfast asado and the Argentinian sausage was my favorite. The French's toast de coco was sweet but delicious. It had a dulce de leche sauce and balanced well with the banana. I forgot to take a picture of the strawberry mint mocktail but it was refreshing! I would definitely recommend and we plan to be back soon.

    Lomo Saltado
    Daniel S.

    Service: 8/10 super friendly, great listener, orders were spot on, but almost inauthentically friendly? Strange but all in all, they were very kind and good at their job just came across as inauthentic. Ambiance: 8/10 high end steak restaurant vibes. It's a bit confusing having the restaurant split into two different places (a bit hard to find who I had dinner with) but it was nice ambiance. Food 8/10 Gaucho Bread: the bread was freshly made, perfectly cooked and the chimichuri was fresh, acidic, garlicky and has a bit of heat which was super nice. It's a great app. Lomo Saltado: 8/10 massive portion, delicious vibrant sauces over veggies steak and fries. This would have been 10/10 if they just stepped up their fry game. Otherwise this was a very satisfying dish and something I'd get again for sure

    LIME ACHIOTE CHICKEN. Not much for $28
    Tom B.

    Dropped by for dinner. Service was good and friendly. Meal meh. Got a Caesar salad. Fine, fair amount of lettuce, could have been crisper. Dressing was good no complaints I tried the LIME ACHIOTE CHICKEN for $28. Chicken was tasty, though not much there. About a quarter chicken. Vegetable accompaniment was not great. Some onion pieces, pepper slices, squash, broccoli all somewhat grilled. Half pieces of radish barely cooked and hard as rocks. Who's eating these? Wife had the Smokey burger and fries. Extremely pedestrian. Didn't taste like the menu would lead you to think Don't know if we would return.

    Field green salad
    Tami W.

    Stopped in on a Friday evening and caught the end of happy hour. Enjoyed the steak tacos, half wedge salad and the Brazilian salad with cilantro lime chicken. All gluten free and delicious! Bar area was packed and noisy. Wish they would do something to help with the sound, but love the vibe. Our server John was friendly and efficient considering how busy they were.

    Ask the Community - de Fuego

    Do they still do bottomless mimosas for brunch? What are the drink specials during brunch?

    Is this business family friendly for children?

    Absolutely! There is a restaurant side and then a bar side. Kids are always there and plenty of food options for them.

    I'm hoping for some clarity around your hours. I see on your website that Happy Hour starts at 4 daily - does that mean you close lunch at 3 and open for happy hour at 4? Then, dinner starts at 5?

    I would call them since hours are different usually during the holidays.

    I'd like to dress up (wear a dress) to dinner. Will I feel overdressed? How casual is the atmosphere?

    always dress however you want where ever you go. I'm always over dressed lol. Outside is not very fancy, metal chair patio vibes.… 

    Do you offer vegan options?

    They have a limited selection.

    Do you still offer a brunch buffet?

    No they do not, but they do have a variety brunch for 2 or more people

    Hi! Opening for dine in soon?

    Yes

    Is the patio heated?

    Hiyah! I've definitely seen outdoor heat lamps in use at de Fuego. If you're really concerned, I'd ask when you call to make reservations. Enjoy!

    Any good happy hour drink specials?

    Yes; see menu.

    Are there gluten free options?

    Hi Carly! We have many options that naturally do not include gluten such as salads and grilled meats. We are not a gluten free kitchen however. Your best bet is to inform your server of your desire for gluten free options. Our chef will happily make… 

    Does anyone have brunch info, prices, menu? I couldn't find it on the website.

    Hi Kyle! Thanks for your interest in Sunday Brunch. Our brunch is served from 9:00 a.m. to 1:30 pm every Sunday. Our buffet features classic breakfast fare and an assortment of de Fuego favorites. The cost for adults is $21.95. You can reserve a… 

    Are minors allowed?

    Hi Piper! de Fuego operates a restaurant and lounge. Minors are welcomed in the restaurant, but are not allowed in the lounge or its attached patio. We have a family friendly entrance through the hotel lobby. Hope to see you soon!

    The presentations on the plates were beautiful in colors. The flavors I can't even describe. It was…read moreso full of flavor that it was hard to put your fork down. My palate key anting more. The combination of ingredients was thoughtful. The mahi mahi is a must! The hamachi appetizer was right up our alley of taste and appreciation. The Grand Marnier soufflé was outstanding, not rich or sugary. The waitstaff were friendly. Loved the outdoor seating. Beautiful establishment view of the Lake. If you're looking for a gourmet restaurant with a flare and a standard for food. This is a must visit.

    Spicy Kung pao cauliflower - fantastic! Definitely order. Great flavor, texture, sauce…read more Balsamic glaze Brussels - tasty although watch out for those pork belly fat pieces, neither of us cared for that. It made the dish unnecessarily greasy and they didn't add any flavor or texture that enhanced the dish. Confetti of lentils - five stars! Superb flavor for everything. Lentils were awesome and the red peppers had a smokey vinegar flavor which reminded me of pizza! Would absolutely order again. Black Cod special - unfortunately we were very disappointed with this one! For the $38 price tag you get a speck of fish, which was cooked to perfection but poor flavor, and the edemame puree didn't help mask it. The bar has an awesome atmosphere too. Especially once it gets dark outside the mood of the bar becomes even more intimate and inviting. View is stunning in the daytime so you can't go wrong anytime of day. Janice was a peach as a server and Molly the manager was a doll to work with with our gift card hiccup. Overall I give this a 4.5 but was happy to round up to a five. Next time I'd want to try more appetizers.
