    Hide & Seek was a great find and the atmosphere was stylish, intimate, and relaxed, creating a great speakeasy experience without feeling overcrowded or overly loud. The drinks were well-crafted, and the service was excellent from start to finish. If you're looking for a spot with a cozy atmosphere, and exceptional service, Hide & Seek is definitely worth checking out. We'd happily return on our next visit to Salt Lake City.

    Beyond impressed! I ducked into Hide & Seek and they surprised me. You enter through Bonnie & Clyde's coffee shop, wander past bookshelves, then one of those shelves swings open into a dim and moody spot. Behind the bar was the Van Gogh skeleton painting staring back at me. Already hooked. Chef Justen (yes, from Alinea in Chicago) is at the helm, and you can taste and see that pedigree. It's definitely an art. We stuck to the small items. They call it forplay. This section gave me more chances to admire my artistic food. We had the scallop ceviche, razor clams, pesto ravioli, and the 1000 layer potato cake! There were pour shows and special ways to eat these masterpieces. The servers walk you through everything. Service was elevated and polished and the ambiance was intimate and moody. This spot nails every detail of a special dinner without the gimmicky cheesiness. Don't forget to let your phone eat first! Salt Lake City found its Wow Factor restaurant!

    Small and intimate and everyone that waited on us were so good! We were first given an amuse bouche that was something with pork in a small little wafer cone that was savory. I'm not exactly sure but it was so good! We got the shells ala vodka to share and ooooooooooh it was so delicious. The shells were big and the sausage was perfectly seasoned. And I wanted a whole container of that vodka sauce. I got the red snapper and it was an incredible explosion of flavors, especially with the sauce! Which was beautifully poured on my plate by our waiter Bailey. He was wonderful. I also ordered the island daisy sour and it was very smooth!

    We sat at the bar for dinner. Highly recommend!! Bartenders were highly attentive and very knowledgeable on every aspect of the menu. Not pictured was my filet, cooked to perfection! Cashew crusted carrot was the best! I despise carrots and tried a bite to be polite. Ended up eating it all. Also potato pave with caviar...100 layers of deliciousness.

    This is a hidden gem (pun intended) The drinks were a revelation. Come for those alone. The food was delicious. Its at a 1 michelin star in terms of taste and conception. The spacing of tables allows for great conversation. The ambiance could use a litttttle work but overall 5/5 stars! This is a must go

    Strawberry kiwi cake

    We came here tonight to celebrate our 9th anniversary and we had a great time at Hide & Seek! A super fun ambiance, love the hidden entrance. We started off with the blossoms de tinga and it was so well balanced. BUT one of the insides of the blossom was cold - the other wasn't. So I'm not sure how it was supposed to be? Both sauces were great. Great amount of spice. Just delicious. We then got the U10 scallop because if I'm going to try scallop for the first time it'll be here! Absolutely delightful. Perfectly cooked, and balanced. The lime added life to it in a way I've never experienced with seafood. We then got the raviolo. The actual raviolo was a bit forgettable for us - the star was that garlic focaccia and and those sauces. I don't know how they managed to get so much smoke into that bread but it was one of the best bites of the night. We loved the scallop so much we ordered another one. Then we ordered the short rib as our entree! The lady next to me described it as "meat butter" and it was! My letdown was the courgette swirls (aka what they call zucchini in the UK). I wish they would've picked any other veg to accompany the beautiful short rib. The zucchini lacked flavor and wasn't served hot - which was a little off putting for me. For dessert we got a kiwi and strawberry cake. I couldn't taste the kiwi and the whole desert was overly sweet for me. We had a lovely service - lovely server and overall great experience. For the price, a meal like this is well worth it!

    SUPER cool speakeasy behind a bookcase in the Bonnie & Clyde's Cafe in downtown SLC. As you walk into the cafe, everything looks normal...until you're greeted by the host next to a mysterious looking bookshelf. He confirms your reservation and begins to open the bookshelf and welcomes you in. SUPER COOOL. Very dark and moody inside with some cool artwork. Really chill vibes and the music was spot on. Red Hot Chilli Peppers were playing. It's not a big place at all, maybe 10 tables spaced out well enough for privacy. The chairs were really comfy too. I didn't expect it, but they began bringing out complementary dishes (Amuse Bouche): first the potato pave and then the popovers. Both were amazing, but the potato pave was outta this world. They are bite size and recommend you pop the whole thing in your mouth (TIP: if you order the filet mignon, it comes with a larger version of the potato pave, which I'll be getting next time). Overall a really nice surprise. I ordered the Cod. Cooked really nice and I liked the veggies in the foam. Never had anything like it. We decided not to get desert, only because we were stuffed, but the sticky toffee banana desert would have been the choice. SERVICE: Some of the best service in SLC. Our waitress was on top of it. She even had an assistant who cleared plates immediately, made sure water was topped off, and otherwise made sure you were comfortable. I couldn't ask for better service. I can't wait to come back and experience Hide & Seek all over again.

    Such a great spot! Me and my wife went there for dinner and it absolutely checked every box for a phenomenal experience. The space is really great, very intimate setting, it's small and the tables are kind of close but in no way cramped, just big enough to accommodate everyone but still small enough it feels like a secret spot behind a bookcase. The service was some of the best we have had in Utah, they did a great job hiring. The food was exactly what you expect, delicate sizes but tremendous flavors we tried a bit of everything but I don't eat much red meat so I got the pork chop, it was next level good. It f you have been considering it just pull the trigger and make a reservation now!

    Parking- if you park under the apartments where you scan the code, do not pay until you go inside to get it validated. Once they validate you then you can fill everything else out. I learned the hard way I paid and then went in side. But the parking people were nice and issues me a refund after emailing them, Walking into a coffee shop. Wait there is a book case that opens! Step inside to a speak easy! From start to end. Service was amazing. Felt well taken care of. My favorite is when they bring out each dish and explain what you ordered and how to eat it. Right when you sit you get first dish called potato pave. It was like a little taste of what is coming and knew we were going to enjoy dinner. After drink/dinner order you get a pop over that was so light and tasted really good. Loved the jelly and cheese you eat with it. Drink- jungle something. While alcohol taste was light I enjoyed the drink. We got the croquettes for appetizers. I'll take 14 of them spectacular! Entree- salmon. The salmon was perfectly cooked. The saffron risotto underneath it was too salty for me. I tried to eat it with the burre blanc but I couldn't. So I just ate the salmon. Husband got the cod- and it tasted light and like fresh with the greens. Hard to explain but it was really good. We didn't feel like super stuffed but we were full. We skipped dessert nothing really called out to us. We would have tried the sticky toffee but I don't really like banana. I would have tried it but hubby said maybe next time. Overall I'd give it 4.5 stars that risotto was too salty but everything else was great. Service ambiance food is worth the price. Love the pictures on the wall and music was great! Definitely coming back to taste more dishes

    I have no idea why this is rated so highly except that it's in Utah where people are easily impressed by mediocre food. The food is just so so, which for those prices is insulting. The people on Google reviews that have reviewed it poorly have gotten the nastiest most rude responses from the owner- it's extremely shocking someone in business would speak like that publicly with their name attached to it. I thought it was hilarious that someone pointed out that the photos on the website have nothing to do with their menu and are stolen from someone else, as well as the mentions in publications are fake. The owner didn't like that. Do yourself a favor and exit the restaurant into the worlds, weirdest hallway and worst designed bathrooms ever and get out of there

    Salmon sashimi

    This place was amazing. I saw Hide & Seek on some foodie accounts on social media and immediately had to make a reservation. The total came out to $150 (after tip) for two of us, which included the price for our appetizer, entrees, dessert, and a drink. To answer some questions you might have: * You can park in the retail parking spaces at 6th and Main and the host/hostess will validate your parking! We got up to two hours free! * They check ID at the bookshelf door. * There are people sitting by the bookshelf to check you in. * You will be asked to order appetizers and entrees all at once (but they'll bring the menu back out for dessert) It was a cozy (but somewhat crowded) interior, and was very lively on a Saturday night. The potato pave and the London popover were no additional cost, which was a nice surprise! We ordered the salmon sashimi as an appetizer, and got the sunflower pesto and sea bass for entrees. For dessert, we wanted the basque cheesecake but they were out, so we got the sticky toffee banana cake. We were full before dessert, but shared each of the dishes between the two of us. The food was very flavorful and the presentation was stunning. The portions were pretty generous, considering the premium prices.

    I'm a sucker for a speakeasy. Something about the sneakiness, the inside secretness of it all just appeals to me. As to be expected, when you first enter the establishment (Bonnie & Clyde's), it's a lovely coffee shop with a chill, relaxed atmosphere. But if you turn right and head toward the book case, you can enter a whole other place. The point of it is to be hidden, so when I was approached and asked if I was looking for Hide & Seek, it kind of defeated the purpose. Oh well. The space is small and intimate, with tables close to each other and a bar. The music is louder and more upbeat than the other side and it definitely has the vibe. It's an upscale place, reservations are required, and they keep to a pretty strict schedule of 1.5 hours per table, then they need you to move out for the next guest. I found them to be accommodating of our delayed arrival and were flexible with us, but I do hate doing that. The food was outstanding. Each dish comes plated in a way that would please Martha Stewart and the staff gives beautiful descriptions as well as eating instructions-which are helpful with some of the items. I'm also happy to report that they made me the best Vesper I've had...I'm always on the hunt for a good one and this exceeded my expectations. I'll definitely be back.

    Such an expected great Place to discover! Went for a friend's birthday and loved going only was bummed I was late due to work. I would love to go again as I love a great speakeasy place! I missed taking photos of my salmon but it was delish and gobbled it up and wanted to ask for seconds.

    Fantastic birthday experience. Fun dessert and even better service. I think we spent 4 or 5 hours here. Very nice surprise for SLC.

    Can we order only drinks and not food at the bar?

    Yes, you can. You still need a reservation for bar seating and you can just order drinks.

    When making a reservation there are several options: There's 'restaurant', 'bar', 'bar seating' and 'dining room'? Which is the best for a date night?

    It's a small and intimate venue so honestly anywhere is great to sit at. We sat at the bar and it was a lot of fun watching the bartenders make the drinks. And we had more than one person ready to help us at any given time. So it's completely… Read more

    Trivia: Pappy is special because of its wheat and extended aging process and limited selection…read more What is Pappy? At Whiskey Street, I had two issues: I ordered a salad and it never arrived. My wagyu steak came out and I was irritated that the salad hadn't come first. But then the salad didn't come at all. Bummer. And the steak was questions all around. First they didn't know what cut of steak it was. "It's Wagyu" they said, as if all that mattered was where it came from. And just to make sure I wasn't an idiot, I looked up to make sure that Wagyu, like other beef, had various cuts. And the meal was rather salty. And the steak was far closer to rare than medium. And it was served au poivre style, which I would have like to have known. Service was excellent. The Scottish Old-Fashioned excellent. The libation selection is unparalleled. The bar seats have a weird spring to backing so it's more like sitting on a stool with a slight back brace.

My first thought in walking in was yay! It has such great personality, even a bartender with a handle mustache! Quite on a mid Saturday afternoon. We started brunch with drinks - Irish coffee for my friend which was enjoyable and a hot toddy for me which was quite citrusy. Next came our Benedicts. No betrayal here (sorry I know, cheesy!). What makes a good Benedict is the sauce and this one didn't disappoint. Usually I ask that the sauce be on the side but this time I forgot and trust me, that was ok. One of the best I've had that even made a great compliment to the very tasty potatoes. Don't worry, the potatoes were great on their own! Nice touch of flavor, soft inside and crisp outside. Perfect amount - barely too much that made up for two meals!
