    Espresso Martini
    Kylie G.

    Stopped by on Friday afternoon with a girlfriend who is an espresso martini enthusiast so naturally we grabbed two espresso martinis from Greg the bartender. The entire bar staff was chatty and fun to interact with while they were doing side work, everyone that was working was kind and answered any questions we had. We also got the spinach and artichoke dip + another martini, my gf stuck with the espresso martini and I got the ginger pear which was also really great. Thank you for wonderful service!

    My friend & I did Happy Hour here. We split the Mac & Cheese, stuffed mushrooms & buttermilk chicken tenders. All the food was excellent. Smaller sizes because it's happy hour but so tasty. We also had a gin & basil gimlet that was wonderful. Our waiter was super friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was kind of posh but inviting.

    Caesar without croutons so gluten free
    Paige S.

    Came here for happy hour yesterday and the food was great. Nice bar area with a great happy hour menu. Our server Greg was very nice and knowledgeable about items that could be made gluten free for me. I got the Caesar salad was good with out croutons and the spinach stuffed mushrooms without the bread crumbs were quite delicious. The mango margarita was very good. My friend got the fish and chips and was impressed at how good it was. Another person in our party get the ribs and said they were excellent. The chicken tenders were very large and good. Great quiet place for happy hour with friends after work. Will definitely be back.

    Stopped here for lunch all the way to Portland and ordered the soup and BLT sandwich. The restaurant is very clean and service very good. It was moderately busy for lunch and the food came out very fast.

    My wife and I have recently welcomed a baby boy to the family so we decided to order from our favorite Clackamas food restaurant. We decided to use our Uber eats meal train so we were able to eat in our home which was relaxing and comfortable and in fact the delivery was about 20 minutes, so super fast and enjoyable.

    I've always loved coming to Stanford's for happy hour! I have not visited since they closed the Jantzen Beach location, as that was the closest to me since I live in Vancouver. Finally decided to come check it out again after years of not visiting. Staff was great. Very friendly and attentive. Food has always been good and the deals are great for happy hour. The mac n cheese has always been a favorite item of mine, as well as their Caesar salad. Just be aware that if you add chicken to your salad, it costs more than the salad itself! Which is crazy. The chicken strips are always good and juicy, and they come with fries. The happy hour margarita wasn't something I'd order again. It was way too tart and was not refreshing at all. Not sure if there was too much margarita mix or syrup used? But throw espresso martini was delicious! Always good vibes here and great service. Wish it wasn't so far, otherwise I'd visit more often.

    Wicked tasty fish sandwich and a Caesar side salad.

    Feeling fishy on a Friday, so we caught ourselves heading to a great fish sammy at Stanny's. Burgers are ridiculously good here as well, that great grilled taste, not cooked on a flattop. Enjoyed a very nice house salad, which comes with a piece of garlic focaccia, old school delicious! Beautiful, comfy booths, and good sports on in the bar- where we always sit, because we love the servers in the bar. Dunno what the dining rm is even like, since the bar people won our hearts years ago.

There were many large seating area available. One main cedar table was a big attraction. There is a fireplace with a table by it We got a table. I ordered a Borgona, fruit puree juices mix with Sprite. Never had one, but sounded really good. It came and it was delicious and fruity for a mocktail. We ordered a shrimp ceviche and octopus skewers to start out with. The Shrimp Ceviche was very delicious and it was something that I was very happy to share it with my friends. It was a big portion of shrimp cocktail with salsa on the bottom and these large sized blue chips. It was so good that we ate it quickly. Octopus skewers was a tad charred. Yet very delicious especially if you eat it with the pineapple together. Brings out the flavor of the pineapples quite well. We ordered the Pork Belly Tacos and Mole Shrimp Tacos which came in 3. I absolutely loved street tacos filled with good fresh ingredients. And both of these hot the spot. The pork belly was an absolute great flavor of the pork belly. The Shrimp was delicious. Cook perfectly and easy to devour quickly. DeFuego Nachos had Jalapenos. But wasn't listed. The nachos were delicious and it was quickly devoured. Wings came in 4 wings with garlic parmesan with carrots and celery and ranch on the platter. Heavily garlic on the wings yet very delicious. Half wedge salad was a surprise how much there is in the salad. A lot of fresh veggies there with cherry tomatoes and sliced radishes in it. I had a absolutely fun experience celebrating my birthday here. DeFuego had Happy Hour from 3pm to 6pm, seven days out of the week. Seems the Happy Hour here is very popular. You have 21 appetizers to choose from on the Happy Hour Menu. There are Mocktails, and any drinks you want available. Definitely will come back again.

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.

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!!!!!

We aren't big drinkers but still wanted to come appreciate a nice happy valley restaurant and we appreciated the complimentary sample that we were given. Very tasty. With regard to the food, the garlic parmesan fries were agreed upon at our table to be the favorite item, along with the scallops on the risotto. However I found the risotto to be undercooked and it still had hard bits. When I let the waitress know, she said it was meant to be that way with it being "al dente". Very surprising, I have never had al dente risotto before, but either way, it wasn't for me. She came back later and said they made another one cooked a little longer which was better but still on the underdone side for me. The salmon and Brussel sprouts were tasty but I wasn't a huge fan of the tarragon shrimp dish either, I was expecting more of a spread or baguette topping dish but it felt like it was just a small portion of yummy shrimp with a baguette. I'd go back if I was going with someone who really enjoyed wine with a nice view but I'm not sure the food itself was compelling enough for me.

To start, our table was dirty, and it took 10 minutes for the waiter to arrive and clean it - where are the bus boys? For this kind of dining experience, there should be someone else busing tables to clean and clear so the waiters can focus on giving the type of experience that we had hoped for. Our waiter when he arrived was very friendly, gave good recommendations, and our food and drinks were great! When it came time for the check, our dessert to go that had been previously ordered was not there, and unfortunately this is where the service fell through. It took 25 minutes to get the boxed dessert (only after we inquired about it three times).At this point we would have just left had we not already paid for the check including a very generous tip. Finally after getting the attention of another server, we were told the manager would be bringing it by. Instead our server brought it to us and gave a brief apology for the delay however by this point we had been sitting at the table, no drinks, empty plates and paid for check for almost a half hour. It totally ruined our experience and its hard to say if we will come back due to the poor service and extreme and unnecessary wait. Had the manager actually taken the time to come by as promised we would have asked to just have the desert removed. While the food is very good be aware the service is not up to par and or the wait staff more likely has just too much they have to do without some help to keep service up to the table.

To eat I got the tomato soup with a grilled cheese, which was absolutely fantastic. The soup was so creamy and flavorful, and I cannot imagine a better meal after spending all day walking outside in the rain. The fries were super crispy and I liked the batter. My partner and I shared some of their breadsticks, which were deliciously baked (fresh!) and came with a super refreshing basil crema and a nice tomato-y dip. Wonderful all. My partner ordered fish and chips, and was surprised to find that it is one large fillet of fish, not multiple pieces like you would typically expect. He said the fish was fine, but a little tough.

Comes with broccolini, mashed potatoes and gravy. NOT blackened at all. Should have sent it back. Don't advertise blackened then have zero spices on it. Whole meal was super bland. Quality of the steak was only marginal. Tough to cut. Service was fine.
