    Service was outstanding. Food was very good to excellent. The meatball and marinara appetizer was outstanding. I love good meatballs and have been searching for them in the area. Excited to have found them. So good, both the meatballs and the sauce. We "split" a salad and each of us got what I would call a full serving. Caesar dressing was light and delicious. We shared a pizza, which was good but undercooked and cheese heavy but that can easily be fixed with the way I would order in future. The sausage and pepper toppings were very good and flavor of crust was very good. We will make Hideout one of our regular spots. Highly recommend.

    We enjoyed a lovely anniversary dinner with our son. Between us we had two Cajun ribeyes, cooked perfectly, delicious toppings & butters. Also the fillet mignon with the baked potato were excellent. Appetizers, the angry shrimp and the deviled eggs with caviar were so good! Our server was fabulous he got the drinks just right, remembered everything we said and he was very attentive. He also served us a special dessert (of our choice) as complimentary. We chose crème brûlée and it was perfect. The only reason I took a star off is, I dont like sitting in a booth for an elegant dinner. I like the tables better. They said we couldn’t sit there as they were booked but I noticed they are set for six. We were only three. I’d like to see some tables set for two and four.

    We had a terrific lunch here with friends from out of town. The service, food and ambience were all terrific! We have been here for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and the food is fabulous. We take people from out of town here, so they can be close to El Paseo, and enjoy this terrific hotel.
