The aesthetic is nice and the menu looks promising. Unfortunately, it misses the mark by a landslide. We ordered the Chili Lime Chicken Bowl, the Short Rib Bolognese, two kid's meals with chicken tenders, and waters. No appys, cocktails, or dessert. The place was nearly empty but it took so long to get our food that we started wondering if the server had forgotten to place our order. It finally arrived. The Chili Lime Chicken Bowl looked promising when it first arrived, but it ended up being very disappointing. There was ZERO detectable chili OR lime flavor, the carrots were undercooked and crunchy, and the chicken amount I was served could only be described as "scant". Honestly, if I had gathered every tiny little shred of chicken I could find in that entire bowl, I'd be willing to bet it was less than 1.5 ounces. It was essentially a bowl of hot brown rice covered with tortilla strips and extremely bland. I tried to doctor it up with salt and pepper twice (I NEVER salt my food) and I took an orange slice from my kid's meal to squeeze all over it. That barely made it better. I ate half of it and was done. I do not recommend this item. It's a total waste of money. My husband ordered the short rib bolognese which also was presented nicely but it literally tasted like Chef Boyardee with again, almost no meat on it. MAYBE 2 ounces at best. Absolutely covered in undercooked carrots as filler. He did not enjoy it at all. The kids meals were the only decent thing we got. The chicken tasted pretty good and the fries were nice. At $12.99, I was surprised it didn't include a kids drink - most places charge that and then give a drink AND a dessert. Our bill after tip was $95. Needless to say, we canceled our reservation for tonight and will be leaving the resort to find something elsewhere. Sad.

Cozy atmosphere. There were 3 employees that night, the woman who initially waited on us actually appeared to roll her eyes when we ordered. She seemed pretty rushed and just didn't want to work that night or something. The bartender was friendly and came for our second round and he actually seemed more welcoming and friendly. The drinks menu is a bit small (compared to other nearby bars). We got 5 drinks, one espresso one which wasn't great and the rest were alright. Nothing that made us go "Oh man, try that!" but they weren't bad either. The food, looks better than normal bar food, which I loved. We ordered "Balls of Gibralter" - North African meatballs, which were *SO GOOD*, so delicious EXCEPT the texture. The flavors were all amazing, but it was as if there was too much egg and not enough breadcrumbs because it gave the impression of being wildly undercooked, even though you could see no pink. If they were firmer, they would've been perfect. They seem to have a rotating grilled cheese special I wouldn't mind checking out next time. The ambiance-lovely.

So you have to poke around here at the building in order to find this bar. Some McMenamins locations have hidden rooms also so if you are out and about and touring an unfamiliar location it's best to ask a staff member if there are any hidden rooms for where you are visiting. If you wind up getting frustrated trying to find this bar perhaps ask a staff member on that situation as well and maybe they can give you pointers. Once you are inside this fairly small sized bar you can look up at the ceiling and see where the sidewalk is with the purple stained glass design. It's a nice place to relax but can get very busy as These hidden bars are often quite popular with McMenamins customers. Some bars don't have all drink options available that Some of their pubs have but here you can definitely get a cocktail or a beer. The Vault is a super cool place and I highly recommend going to seek it out!

Fish and steaks are consistently cooked to perfection, served with vegetables that turn each plate into a complete, thoughtful dish. Simple, elegant desserts finish the meal beautifully.

In the middle of the dish was a nicely toasted brioche bagel. Egg yolk and dashi sabayon added a nice salty creamy umami touch. There were pickled beets surrounding the bagel as well.

Beyond the rolling fog of the Pacific and tucked within the historic charm of Astoria, lies a sanctuary of pure and unadulterated (maybe a little bit of adulterated) perfection. It is called Xanadu, and it is quite possibly the most beautiful display of queer community I have seen in years. I have traveled across the nation and spent time in countless queer spaces from coast to coast, yet Xanadu stands in a league of its own. Imagine a world where the staff and the patrons exist in a state of authentic joy. There is no drama in sight. There are no pretenses. It is a place where people gather for the simple pleasure of a shared laugh and genuine connection. The atmosphere is vibrant and fun, but it is the people who truly make it shine. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure every guest feels like they belong to something meaningful. And then, there is the pizza. It is genuinely quick, thicc and fantastic! It provides the perfect fuel for an evening of celebration. In a world that often feels fractured, Xanadu offers a beautiful symphony of community and warmth. It has earned a permanent place in my heart and I cannot recommend it enough to anyone seeking a slice of heaven on the coast. If you find yourself in Astoria, do not pass this door by. You might just find the secret to happiness hidden right inside. Special shoutout to Josh and Brandon!!!

I had expected just a burger and was pleased to see it came with fries. Our server was prompt, helpful, and nice... the whole team was. The burger was a smash tyupe burger and I found the texture of the meat pleasing and tasty, just a bit of crust as some many people love on a smash burger. The condiments we fresh enough and had good flavor. When I say fresh enough I mean that the lettuce and onions didn't have a crunch to them, but they weren't mushy. Overall one of the better burgers so far. This venue would be good for anything from a family meal to some afterwork laughs or even a romantic dinner. The only reason it didn't get the fifth star is because of the condiments not being nice and crunchy. Solid place to eat and I would recommend.
