    We always try to stop by Dead Man's Isle when we are coming through Astoria because we enjoy it so much. Always fun drinks and good food. This time we got to try the new Japanese whiskey bar located upstairs. There are 4 stools to sit at the bar and a small area to stand. As with the Tiki Bar downstairs, it is always good to make reservations, especially on the weekend. Our bartender was awesome. He explained the different Japanese cocktails and whiskey. There are many different ones to try depending on your likes. You can also order a Tiki drink from downstairs as well as food. My husband got a refreshing highball and a whiskey neat to try. He enjoyed both. I got the Mutant Skull cocktail. It was delicious and served in one of their locally made mugs. As for food I got the pork fried rice, which seemed to be a never ending bowl of deliciousness. I also appreciated the fun hot sauce and chili condiments up in the Japanese bar to try. My husband got the Loco Moco. It comes with a savory curry gravy which kicks it up a notch from just the standard brown gravy. I would order both again. Don't forget to check out the locally made tiki mugs for sale in the case and the tiki mug vending machine in the back.

    Came over for the first time to celebrate my birthday with a few friends. We were meeting for…read moreHappy Hour and was surprised how big the lounge area was. 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.

    Shoot. Last night I took my boyfriend here to celebrate a special event & we left so disappointed!…read moreWe 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.

    Not sure what took me so long to get back here! We had an amazing pre-dinner here enjoying…read morecocktails and all the snacks. It's a great place to go before a comedy show, take a date here, or just a good time with friends. The lighting is brighter than I remember. Last time I couldn't see any of my food but I really enjoyed it last time and even more this time. Definitely would get oysters again but I love that they change up the menu. The service and presentation are both amazing. There are other places in town that charge the same for a cocktail but I've never been disappointed here. Cocktails you can always count on!

    I completely understand why this place won a James Beard award - it is absolutely deserved. I love…read morewhiskey, however they have a massive selection of alcohols outside of whiskey too, so there is something for everyone! The space is cozy and intimate. You go down a flight of stairs on arrival into a small space with various types of seating. We got the B-side remix and Foggy Notion cocktails which were both fantastic! I also got a pour of Japanese whiskey which was excellent as expected. We got the Wagyu tartar, half a dozen oysters, and the Softshell Crab sando. I am a huge fan of soft-shell crab but this was the best prepared soft-shell crab I've ever had. The service was excellent and everyone was very attentive. The cocktails and food all came out at a great pace. Make sure you make a reservation ahead of time as they book up fast!
