The fries were crisp on the outside and soft in the middle. We shared a house salad with fantastic ranch dressing. I also enjoyed the Arnold Palmer drink. We sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful weather and atmosphere. It is a beautiful restaurant inside and out. Brendan was our waiter and was fantastic. Very personable and professional. He even brought ranch dressing for our fries before we asked. We will definitely be back.

I've been coming here for a few years now and it's always my number one place to come back too. I…read morelove that it has the two levels to it. This way you can choose between hip-hop or house music! Which is perfect for myself and the group I am usually with. The service is alright, sometimes you get a really friendly bartender and other's they just seem bothered. I understand it's busy and stuff, but customer service is always important. It can get really packed some nights, I get there right before the rush comes just so I know I can get a drink or two before the long line at the bar. Restrooms are always clean! The dancefloor gets trashed but that's not the clubs fault people are disrespectful. I will continue to pick AV as long as I can fist pump! Thank you -gabi

This spot would be amazing if it weren't for the unmanaged staff and ego tripped security. This…read morespot would really benefit from an on site experience manager! I love the music the djs play and the decor. The promotions are nice but one super slow Sunday night, the single curly haired female bartender was acting so miserable and bothered people if were ordering lots of the $5 drinks, I just stopped buying any bc she wasn't worth dealing with, ignoring "excuse me's" and being rude about questions and then short handing drinks, she needs to find another job since she hates this one so much! This goes for security as well! Does this spot just hire anyone with a piece of paper that says guard card with no actual knowledge of security just the idea that they need to act powerful and be miserable at their jobs? The bigger girl with the heavy eyelash extensions was on an ego trip and acted rude towards my friend, leading them out with no explanation and when asked, she accused them do something they didn't even do! If you're seeing this don't be afraid to correct their attitudes hopefully they'll be replaced and this club could be better! Also don't be afraid to leave and explore the other many other clubs around! Don't put up with bs!

I didn't get food, I'm not sure if serve food. They played good music i heard one of my faveorite oldies i was surprised its an oldie but goodie. I'd come back, the dance floor is a little small but workable lol. The band was pretty good I love instruments the men played well.

My sister and I came to The Hideaway for Depeche Mode night, and it was such a great experience!…read moreThe venue was easy to find, and everyone we encountered was so welcoming and kind. Entry was a breeze--just $20 combined--and accessing the main room was straightforward. I've been coming to this bar for years, though it's been a while since my last visit, and I have to say, I absolutely love the vibe now! The changes they've made--turning it into an '80s-themed space--are fantastic. We had an amazing time, and the atmosphere was just right. The only downside is that it does get pretty hot in there; better AC would make it even better. Still, I'll definitely be returning for more night adventures! One more thing I did not get a chance to try their drinks since I don't drink alcohol but will definitely ask if they make mocktails.

I wasn't greeted by a host but I ran down a server who was able to direct me and my date to our party. We were served a buffet style meal with a salad, beans, Spanish rice, and 3 different types of protein (carnitas, steak, and chicken).. the chicken, had much better flavors due to the salsa glazed on it, but the steak was very tender and delicious too. After dinner, our room was converted into a dance club, at that point was open to the public, which was pretty fun..overall had a blast there.

Nice atmosphere. But food not worth the cost…read more Went to Mezcal for lunch with my friends. The restaurant is very modern with great seating options and friendly service. Fajitas can be made vegan and the rice is made without meat products. The food was on the unseasoned side and didn't feel worth the cost.

It all depends on when you come and the vibe you're looking for because there's always something different on every day. I enjoy it all.

It was a beautiful day so we dined outside on the patio. I enjoyed lunch (Cesar salad with grilled shrimp) and the Brussels sprouts bowl my friends and I shared was exquisite! Definitely have to return for those and the atmosphere was very delightful. The manager Michael seated us and was very pleasant. Dania was our server and she was ver y nice as well. My only complaint were the flies that gathered around the food during our meal. I guess. That's expected when eating outside.
