Hideout is a poppin!…read more Every time I come here the food is fantastic. Sometimes there's a wait and although worth it , it can take some time. But we have yet had a bad experience here dining. My last visit my friend and I decided to share appetizers so we could try a variety of items and try a few things on the menu. Everything was so tasty! The onion rings were crispy and came with bbq sauce, one of my fav items we got! TIP: It is a good option to order for a large group, it is a large portion for $10. We also shared the burrata and tapenade, I like that it came with balsamic glaze for a savory and sweet effect. We got the Mac and cheese and added short rib. It was a really large portion too! It was as $15 for the Mac and + $9 for the short rib I believe which I didn't think was a bad price at all for what we given. We had a ton left over which will last us 2 days as a side dish for dinner later on. Buffalo wings came with 11 wings, they were garlicky and the buffalo sauce had great flavor. Overall this is always a great spot to drop by for dinner, drinks, and/or appetizers. It's easy going here, the staff is friendly and accommodating, and the food is delicious.

There were TVs everywhere and they were showing hockey, baseball, and basketball. For the food, I really enjoyed the Ahi Tuna Salad. It was nicely seared on the outside while still being raw on the inside. The greens with sliced ginger and dressing bring it all together. Mozzarella Sticks come with 4 large pieces. If you eat them while they're hot, you can get a pretty awesome cheese pull. These were served with marinara sauce and the appetizer was tasty. My son ordered a Chicken Pesto pizza that I was able to issue a dad tax on. I thought the pizza was solid, not spectacular. A nice chill place to hang out and watch a game.

At least 15 parties, but this gentleman was on it, filling everyone's drinks, asking for next round of alcoholic drinks, serving food, bussing tables! Fish and chips - fish was cut into smaller bite size portions rather than entire fillets (mixed opinion). It tasted good, well seasoned and crispy. Chips are the real deal -medium cut, lightly battered (Black country style), crispy, well seasoned with paprika mix. These tend to stay crisp for a long time thus providing nice accompaniment with multiple rounds of drinks. Cheesesteak - thin cut tri-tip was well done, juicy, tender meat, good amount of onions and peppers and swish cheese. All in all good local joint

I used to dine frequently at Bittersweet Bistro pre-Covid. I enjoyed it very much for the food,…read moreservice and atmosphere. Their prices skyrocketed along with added surcharges for the "kitchen staff" that never seemed to go away "post covid". They have reduced their menu, taken away the "beloved small plates" and now they post on their receipt that "prices are reduced on the menu " when patrons pay cash , and a 3.9 charge is added for debit and credit. Many establishments now give a discount for cash, but Bittersweet is being absolutely dishonest by stating that prices are "reduced " for cash. The price IS in fact the price. They should simply state that there is a surcharge of 3.9% on Debit and CC purchases. I love to give my business to local establishments, but every time i dine at Bittersweet, since 2020 i regret it. It just does not feel good.

Let me tell ya, the Tempura Maitake took me on a flavor experienceeee. I tried each of the…read moreingredients separately first. The butternut curry polenta was genius and flavorful, yet needed a dash of salt. The beet greens were tender. The pomegranate sumac gastrique was yummy but there was wayyy too much and it was overly sweet. The Maitake mushroom itself was crunchy but could use some finishing salt. From a visual perspective, it was brightttt and beautiful but I wonder if being able to see the top of the mushroom would have been more appealing to the eye than the base stem. When trying all the dish's components together, the flavors danced and invited curiosity, especially with the bite of mint. A little more salt and just a drizzle of the gastrique would balance the dish perfectly I can tell the chef had fun crafting the that dish as it was seemingly the most expressive one, definitely worth a try! The weather was so gorgeous and the patio is definitely the place to sit, especially cause of all the doggos. Staff was attentive and the vibes were chill.

Loved the bright windows, open concept, clean aesthetic with seaside color vibe, and the VIEW!…read moreThere is a reason half the walls are glass: so you get a view of the beach and, depending on when you're there, the sunset. Venus is a fine dining establishment but the wait times for service once we were seated and cold service were unexpected at such a nice place. This was our first time here, so hopefully we caught this server on a bad day. She also brought out our appetizers and entree at the same time, which was shocking. Due to this, we felt like we had to eat quickly so the entree didn't get cold. We often order several plates and share all the time, and never has any other restaurant brought every dish out at once before! This was the first. **THE DETAILS** Venue: 5 stars The venue is quite beautiful. You can't beat a place on the same street as a beach! All the windows on the West side of the ocean are made of tall glass. If only we had quick cocktails to sip and hot dishes to eat without feeling rushed so we could enjoy the beautiful venue. Location: 5 stars It is literally AT Rio Del Mar Beach! Parking wasn't terrible, but I can see it becoming harder at certain times of evening, or during lunchtime when the beach is populated. Crab coquettes: 1 star It was so dry, I couldn't even finish one of them. It was hard to eat. You can smell the crab, but you don't taste it. Calamari: 2 stars I love calamari, but the ratio of squid-to-batter was off. There was too much batter, and it was thick and over-fried that with each bite, you don't get to enjoy the squid. Miso salmon over coconut rice: 3 stars The salmon was tender and flaky, and cooked well. The skin was crunchy and flavorful... good enough to eat (I usually remove the skin)! The coconut rice, however, was very mushy, like it was cooked with too much liquid. This was a disappointment because we ordered the miso flavors of the salmon knowing it would pair well with the coconut rice, but the texture of the rice was that of baby food. The bok choy was fresh and added a brightness to the dish. Cocktails: 5 stars All were delicious. (Venus makes their own gin!) Service: 1 star Slowwwww like molasses. Other than seating us, which was an our fault for not having reservations, we had to wait over 15 mins for a server to acknowledge that existed, then another 15 mins to get water after she said she was going to get us water. It was a hot day, and there was no breeze or air conditioning in the restaurant, so I noted to our server that I very much needed water. When drinks and orders arrived, they were sometimes brought to our table by other staff (not our usual server), and each person did it without saying anything, not smiling, and placing items down on the table startlingly hard. (I made a joke to my friend that they don't like us here, but when this happened multiple times, it was no longer funny.) **OVERALL** I think the scene is great (venue/location) and drinks are great. The food items can be hit or miss. Table service needs re-training. I think Venus is a good place to go for the bar and some bar food.

There's a fireplace indoors and a fire pit outdoors. They have blankets and games, too. Like, cmon. Absolutely nailing the cozy vibe. The food menu is also great! As someone who eats gluten-free, there were plenty of options. I definitely recommend for the overall experience.

She served everybody with a smile even though anybody else might be overwhelmed. Day two we split a breakfast burrito that was wonderful! We enjoyed the hashbrowns with it. They were perfectly cooked and not oily or anything like that. They were made with bell pepper and onion, and they were so tasty! We again had great service with a smile. I think our server was named Teresa. I remember complimenting her on her beautiful hair and how friendly she was. Really good food and a good vibe is always a great place to eat .
