    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.

    This was my second time visiting in one month since they remodeled. The first time I visited the food and service were impeccable. This last time the food was good but the service was terrible at first. Until the floor manager stepped in to take over and turned things completely around. The server we had initially was beyond rude and shouldn't be a server in fine dining if he's unable to be friendly and helpful. His name was Damian and he was so rude my Mom was ready to leave. However, either he realized the vibe was off or his manager did so we got someone new and thank GOD we did. Because Lucas turned things around instantly. We didn't love our appetizer which was the spinach dip. Lucas noticed and asked how it could be improved. I was floored given 5 minutes prior Damian told my Mother "NO" when she asked if a drink she saw on the website could be made. Basically, had it not been for Lucas this review and rating would have been drastically different. Thank you to Lucas and his impeccable timing and service. To management, reconsider having temperamental staff who clearly shouldn't be in fine dining.

    The food was outstanding. Not many people in restaurant, but enough. Only one person serving the tables…NOT ENOUGH! He tried and was gracious but couldn’t meet the demand well. The music was extremely loud. All that said, we would absolutely return!
