    Service and ambiance were great. I came here for brunch and all the items we got were tasty and ample - not necessarily memorable but definitely worth what we paid. Everyone was so nice and attentive and the noise level wasn’t too loud or quiet. We felt very comfortable talking at a normal volume.

    I made a reservation to sit inside, but they put us outside. My mom is 79 years old. They had some heat lamps, but she was cold.

    Red wine by the glass selection was limited, and the choices were not great. The pork chop was tasty but overcooked. The service was good. Things seem to be better with this restaurant at their prior location.

    This was my first time at the Hideout. My basil gimlet was delicious, the clams and mussels were outstanding and the Brussels sprouts with balsamic vinegar and bacon was also great. I had the halibut special. The potatoes were perfect, but the halibut was overcooked and therefore a little dry. The portions were generous. Service was terrific. Look forward to trying other dishes next time.

    Delicious meals for all four of us. Lovely presentation. Open airy seating next to the kitchen. Service somewhat slow on a busy night. But otherwise a very good experience.

    We like this restaurant and come quite often. Today we had Sunday Brunch, seated at the high tops, in the bar. We ordered the Hideout Burger and the Morning Glory panini. Both were cooked to order and very good. Our only disappointment was the fries - we asked for extra, extra, extra crispy fries and even though they happily took them back to do again, the replacement ones we the same as the first order, just hotter!! So sad because they usually get the fries perfect, just not today! Oh well, we shall return cuz it’s our go-to spot!! And the service is always great!

    We really enjoyed our dinner at Hideout Kitchen. My husband had the chicken pot pie, it was delicious crust puffy and crispy the chicken and vegetables were plentiful and in a great sauce. My friend had the seafood stew plenty of seafood and good sauce. Dish needed a nice piece of garlic bread to finish it off. I had the Pasta Puttanesca it was very tasty but it needed a nice piece of garlic bread to finish off the dish. Service was very attentive and good. My friend and my husband shared a Churro waffle with Carmel dipping sauce. They said it was great. I had the lemon tart which said it had granola and strawberries on top. The granola covered the whole top of the tart the strawberries were little freeze dried pieces. The granola had a savory taste and green pieces of it mixed in the granola I did not care for the spice was over powering. very little lemon curd We would come back to eat here again. I just would not order the lemon tart again.

    Wonderful as usual. We went on Christmas Eve and sat outside in the tent. The tent area is quiet. The inside can become very lively. We had the halibut , the harvest dish and my go the puttanesca . All served in a timely manner with great service. I do miss the intimacy of the first restaurant. However, it is great to see them shine at this new place.
