    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.

    Food was ok. We initialed ordered the brisket panini and country fried steak waffle sandwich that were recommended by a friend. They ran out of brisket and it was only about 1:30pm. So we got the chicken panini. That was pretty good. The country fried steak waffle sandwich was a bit too sweet. Atmosphere was a bit noisy but the place was packed with lots of parties. Overall had a good time and would go back. Of course, YMMV! Good Luck!

    First time dining at The Hideout Kitchen, and it was pretty darn great! The food was extraordinary. My only hesitation was due to Christmas dining; it was loud (I had trouble hearing across the table, but that could be my age), and our waiting was a bit overwhelming as we seemed to have to wait to get wine refills. Otherwise, it was a wonderful experience, and I will definitely be going back.

    It was our first dinner here. We had earlier dined here for lunch. Both times we enjoyed it very much. The service is excellent and friendly. The food is outstanding. There were four of us. Two had the onion soup and split a dinner of salmon. I had the seafood stew. The sauce was delicious and the seafood tender. My husband had the short rib dinner which included mashed potatoes, gravy, carrots and peas. He’s a big eater but the portion was so big, he had some to take home for another meal. We will definitely return.
