    Oswego Grill: Avocado Toast and side salad
    Chiemi N.

    I met up with friends to play pickleball. We decided to grab lunch afterwards, and someone mentioned Oswego Grill. I had never been there. Service was great, ambiance was great, we got a table that accommodated our party of 5, with extra room to spare. I was able to find enough vegan options to satisfy my hunger. I ordered avocado toast and a side salad, it was delicious! My friends order donuts to share, they said that they were super tasty! Everyone enjoyed what they ordered. It was a great place to enjoy food, beverage and get to know each other!

    Excellent all around! A very nice atmosphere, friendly service and excellent food - highly recommend if you're in the Lake Oswego area.

    This is a really nice standalone restaurant. They were able to accommodate our large group of 15 people. We did call in for a reservation so that they could prepare a space for us and have staff available. There were a lot of salmon dishes on the menu including salad bowls, soups, and fillet steaks. I probably should have ordered one of these, but I couldn't resist their menu item called "Thanksgiving Dinner". I realize it's November and I'll be having this meal in the coming weeks, but it is ine of my favorites. Since it isn't something I eat at hole on a regular basis, I had to order it. I don't regret it. I ate every single morsel of chunky white turkey and fluffy mashed potato drizzled in a luxurious brown gravy. The grilled spears of asparagus and a small sauce container of cranberry sauce rounded out the meal and provided a pop of color, texture, and taste to a delicious meal. The wait staff did a fine job of delivering meals and keeping drinks topped off. I would absolutely come here again for a casual dining experience with friends and family.

    Love, love, love this location to meet friends for birthdays or holidays! They really know how to make someone feel special on a birthday. Their Farrell's birthday sundae is beautiful and delicious! Love the chocolate "O" on top. Makes it look super fancy. They also give you a birthday card signed by the staff. So thoughtful! The food here is always so good. I'm a sucker for any of their wild salmon entrees. Their salads are fresh as well. Since I come here often, I appreciate their seasonal menu so I can try something different. Their menu has a nice variety of options, so if you're thinking about bring family or friends here, there's something for everyone. I usually come here on the weekends, and always make a reservation online through Open Table. I usually sit in the bar area. They have lovely booths and high tables. You don't need a reservation for the bar, but if the bar is too busy, it's nice to have a reservation for the dining room. Employees are always welcoming and open the inside doors for you as you walk in. Such a nice touch. The servers are friendly, attentive and accommodating. They now have a brunch menu on the weekends. There are some items from their main menu they're still willing to make during brunch. Would definitely recommend!

    My husband and I always find ourselves at this location out of the others because not only is the staff totally on it but the atmosphere and tranquility you feel (especially on the patio during the Spring/Summer) is 10/10. Still have yet to try the new Vancouver location (it's on our list) but I've heard their menu differs slightly between locations so I'll have to confirm that later. Love my meal choices so it's hard to make the switch. So like always, we will be back again and again.

    I am incredibly disappointed in this place. I brought my husband and my mother in law here for a birthday celebration and wow this was a bust. I ordered the fruit drop martini, is wasn't completely filled, it was more half filled than anything. The one good thing was the poke nachos, they were yummy, the won tons were crispy, and the mangos were so sweet. I ordered the ribs and fries with the salad, my husband ordered the rib eye, and my mother in law the fried chicken. The ribs were so dry they were stringy and actually hurt to each, the fries were decent, and the salad was good. The steak was tough, with very little seasoning even with the medium rare cook, which they did do correctly. The fried chicken was moist, but greasy, potatoes were cold and gloopy in texture. The environment was loud, so loud, and looked like a nicer chain place but nothing overly special. Oh and the bread, they gave us an order of bread because our order took too long, the order of bread was half a roll, as you can see in the picture. It just seems so...sad. On the positive, they did take the ribs off, and our waitress was sweet, over busy so she didn't come by a lot but very nice.

    We had a nice family dinner while visiting Lake Oswego and touring Lewis and Clark College. It was literally right across the street from our hotel so we walked over for dinner. We got in right away and we're seated at a nice table in the middle of the restaurant. Our server Brookie was super sweet and attentive and gave us lots of good tips on the best menu items. Good food, great service, and a nice dimly lit atmosphere. Would definitely recommend and return!

    We were greeted warmly by the hostess and our server took us to our table. Such a wonderful server, professional and friendly. She quickly got us waters to start and asked for our order. The ambiance is on the darker side and would be a great place for a romantic dinner out for two. We had a lovely dinner! The stuffed chicken had an Alfredo sauce with a strong taste of capers which was lovely. The chicken was cooked to perfection not too dry. The noodles and asparagus which accompanied the chicken were also very good. My son had the beef bourgeois and he ate it so fast there wasn't much time to ask how it tasted lol. He said it was very good. My husband had the wild salmon on a plank which was perfectly cooked and asked for a substitution of mashed potatoes instead of the rice. Very good meal with very good service!

    This place was absolutely amazing and Hannah our waitress deserves a raise !!!! this is the best waitress I've ever met in my whole life !!! and the food was very very very good !!!! I

    Nice ambience, less options for vegetarians but they can customize pastas. I ended up taking westwood pasta and it was good. Portion is sufficient for 1 meal. Service was quick too.

    No, they do not have a separate menu for specific food sensitivities. However, they are very accommodating when possible and would be glad to alter a dish to eliminate dairy components to your specification. And, there are items on the regular… Read more

The bartender seemed irritated at my question of did they have a pinot gris in the happy hour menu. "no, only chardonnay". And, when I asked for a taste - also seemed to irritate him. The food is great here - that is without question, which is why we went. And, it didn't disappoint. However - receiving the bill - there is a weird ADDED $1.25 for a "Hosting Fee"... Hosting Fee??? what the heck is thattttt. (if you google it will tell you that it's for 'helping the employees' basically) What? Then, I had gotten a regular non-premium martini. It says in menu Well Drinks are $8. A regular martini is just their well vodka and should be that. The charge for the martini was $12.00! Never going back - the service was lously. They are padding their prices and I can get much better treatment (and pours) at Five Spice or Tucci!

The place itself is beautifully decorated with low warm lighting. And there's even live jazz music/ musicians playing. My favorite thing about The Underground is how good their sides are and the different options to choose from. If you like truffle get their truffle Mac & cheese or the truffle mashed potatoes. They add the perfect amount of truffle where you can actually taste it but it also doesn't overwhelm the dishes. The portions of these sides are also big enough to share family style. Steaks here are sold a la carte. Every time I come back I like to try a different one and so far my favorite is the peppercorn steak! The caprese salad was light and fresh--it was a nice break to eat this from all the heavy foods. I've been here a couple times and our server were always so nice and helpful.

Well, that's just not the case anymore. The Underground is in The Monarch hotel, which was independently-owned until some corporation bought it, and the new ownership systematically destroyed everything that made The Underground unbeatable. I intentionally held off on writing any updates to my review because I wanted to give (new) staff a chance to work the kinks out under the new ownership. Well, nothing improved, and everything got worse: * The AWESOME lobster bisque? GONE * The mushroom medley served with the steaks? GONE * Freshly-prepared appetizers? GONE **NOTE: Some of my favorites were still on the menu, but they're clearly made ahead-of-time with far inferior ingredients and reheated before service *The amazing Jacobsen finishing salt lovingly and PERFECTLY sprinkled on every steak before service? GONE *The AMAZING staff that LITERALLY were literally more like family than wait staff? GONE (well, probably 95% of them anyway, a literal couple originals were still on-staff during my last visit, but they clearly weren't happy, and appeared to be under a LOT of stress). *Steaks that defy their relatively low price point? GONE **The steaks are still on the menu, but the prices have skyrocketed (seriously, some by as much as $25 per on my last visit), and the quality is and preparations are far WORSE than previous. The previous steakhouse menu has been added to with other non-steak dishes, but they're even worse than the steaks now are. Their web site shows that they're "closed for renovations" for two months, but I doubt I'll be back. I doubt it will be even remotely close to what it was before when they're done with it (who knows, they may just put a chain restaurant franchise down there). DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!!!!!

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.
