    We dined outdoors (party of 4 humans and 1 dog) on the heated, covered patio that has wind protection as well. The special (scallops w/risotto) was excellent as well as the famous honey fried chicken and lamb chops. Service is always attentive but not intrusive, and we took our time relaxing with conversation and wine. Hideout has maintained its quality and level of service, so we will return again and again.

    Nice spot. Food was fine, nothing special. My husband and I both agreed it worked but no plans on going back.

    Mita was charming and informative as a server. We had the salmon which is perfection and the chicken pot pie! Why do people eat anywhere else - everything is so good!

    We had to wait 20 minutes even with the rez. The server was fine and the food was too but they now have a $1 surcharge on egg dishes. I felt a little ripped off for the 1 egg on mine. That is really outpacing inflation.

    Excellent post-movie dinner. What I liked was the variation in the menu - I could eat lighter and my husband could have a full meal. The octopus and musssel/clam appetizers were outstanding - and good portion size to share. We chose to eat outside, which was more intimate. Inside was very loud. The patio is tent-enclosed (not in a parklet!) and had heaters. It was very comfortable. Our waiter was attentive but laid back. It was a very enjoyable and relaxing experience. We will return!
