**Hide and Seek -- ** What an incredible find! This speakeasy, hidden behind a wall of books, sets the tone before you even sit down -- intimate dining room, a really cool bar. It delivered on every level. The food was magnificent -- genuinely one of the best dining experiences I've had in a while, and that's saying something since we just got off an Alaskan cruise, where the dining is a point of pride. Start with the squash blossoms -- wow, just wow. I had the filet, cooked perfectly; could've used a touch more salt, but the cowboy butter more than made up for it. My wife's Mexican snapper was excellent too, and the pasta that came alongside it was the bomb. Save room for the Basque cheesecake -- light, fantastic, don't skip it. Our waiter, Mike, made the night even better -- friendly, knowledgeable about the dishes, and full of great recommendations. And Executive Chef Jason Daniel Moser is clearly talented -- personable and on his way to a Michelin star. We'll absolutely be back. read more

Hide & Seek - Squash blossoms - my fav! - Speakeasies Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

I was in town for a conference and was looking for a cool spot to check out for dinner in Salt Lake. I came across Hide & Seek and I'm so glad I went in to check it out! It's a cool little speakeasy in Downtown and has a true speakeasy vibe. When you enter, you're taken through a hidden door in a bookshelf into an intimate dining room. A few notables from my visit: the ambiance and vibes were crafty, cool, upscale, and had you feel like you were in a true speakeasy. at the start of your experience you're given an amuse-bouche selected and compliments of the chef. It was a single bite item and was so good. we had a variety of small bites; lobster beignets, pork belly, Arctic Char and Yellowtail and Heirloom Burrata. If you can, I recommend ordering a spread of items to try, you won't go wrong with anything you order. the vibes were on point but it was a bit darker than I prefer for a dining experience. I know it is part of the atmosphere so that's really just my personal preference. the old fashion is on the sweet side, so keep that in mind if you're a bourbon or whiskey purist. Overall, I'd recommend checking this place out, especially if you're a speakeasy fan! read more

Deferring to my Salt Lake City frequent visitors on this one, but it seems to me that Hide & Seek is a competitive addition to SLC for fine dining BECAUSE it's in Salt Lake City. Having been lucky enough to have gone to truly exceptional places in NYC, Los Angeles, etc., I think this just hits the benchmark for above average for me in terms of fine dining. This is not to take away from the great wait staff and host. They are knowledgeable, polite, and accommodating. The bartender made some great drinks in our party was content with our cocktails. The food is... good. I literally mean that. It's good. I don't think I would use the superlatives that some of the reviewers opted for. I think it's solid. Can't be mad at it. What kept nagging at me was this incessant comparison to what I'd get for what I'm being charged in terms of both portion, quality, and inventiveness if I were in a different, and more culinary cutthroat city. I guess I was expecting a little more creativity, a little more innovation, based on what I was reading on their website and from some of the reviews here. Is that Hide & Seek's fault? Of course not. I just want to be frank about why at the end of the day I would rate this place 3.5 (rounded up to 4 because I like the staff) instead of a 4 or 5. If you don't think I should compare Hide & Seek to their national (vs. local) competitors at the same level their branding and price point would suggest, then ignore this review, it's not relevant to your decision. This review may be more helpful to those who are out-of-towners and expecting an amazing, mind-blowing food immersion. read more

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. read more

Went here the first time for my birthday. Great speakeasy entrance and the parking garage is next door easy. The chef came out and explained the plates and we also asked for recommendations on how to eat for example the squash blossoms. So interesting and so good eating it the way the chef prepares it. Burrata salad was interesting but good. Lamb chops my husband picked up the bone to clean off the meat it was good. Then the deconstructed Sunday..the best. We will be back. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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! read more

There's a secret entrance to the restaurant. Hint: library books. It's a speakeasy restaurant with a bar. Cocktails were tasty. For food, we had the London popover, potato pavé, blossoms de tinga, braised short rib osso buco, king's crown lamb rack, and Candy Land (the show). Wow! Everything tasted amazing; presentation was beautiful; and the dessert was really the highlight. It was like watching someone paint a canvas on the table. What a fun experience, too! Place is dimmed and intimate. Servers were attentive. Parking is in the streets. Definitely coming back to try more from their menu. read more

Went for a date night without realizing it was the very first Sunday service--and what a great surprise. They were offering a special Sunday menu (photos included), and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. The prime rib was perfectly cooked, the chicken was fantastic, and the pommes purée were next-level. The service really stood out. The staff was attentive without being intrusive, and the bartender, Chris, brought serious attention to detail to my cocktail--it genuinely elevated the experience. We'll definitely be back. The only small piece of feedback would be to dim the lighting just a bit (maybe 20%) to lean even more into that speakeasy vibe. Overall, an excellent experience and a great addition to the scene. read more

My husband booked this restaurant from home, Back in Chicago. I figured it's a speak easy entrance, which I love, Usually, this means regular American food. It was anything but. We have lived all over the country, have family who have lived all over the world, and the crazy thing is, the chef is from Alinea, a triple Michelin star restaurant back home in Chicago. The bartender hails from PJ Clark's, (many moons ago,) from NYC and he is a mixologist like no other. If you are looking for amazing food, with an amazing show, this is it! I have no idea how they aren't on Michelins radar, but they should be. 54 years on the face of this earth, an experiencer, looking for the best the world has to offer, rather than a materialistic person, this did not disappoint, and went straight to the top of the best of the best I've ever had. I just can't say enough about the whole entire meal from beginning to end. Something straight out of The Bear, it was a magical meal. Thank you to Justin and his crew! Thank you, thank you! You want to go here, and trust me, as weird as you think this menu might be, it's off the chain in taste. For once in my life, I have absolutely nothing negative to say. read more

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

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

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! read more

All these stars were for the service. The food was plated beautifully. The restaurant was hidden behind the bookshelf in the Bonnie and Clyde coffee shop in Downtown Salt Lake City. This speakeasy's ambiance strikes a perfect charm of contemporary modern design. I love how the bartender would come to our table and got our drink reference based on our mood and interest without sticking to the menu. Each dish came in generous portion. Some are on the salty side but taste wise and presentation were exceptional. Hubby's entree was the 8oz filet. Food came out very cold and salty so we told our waitress. A few minutes later, the chef personally brought out a new dish and apologized for the imperfect they made on the previous one and of course, this new filet tasted phenomenal. read more

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. read more

They validate, so don't make the mistake we did and pay for parking. This is a true speakeasy vibe where they jam a lot of people in a small space, so keep that in mind if you want somewhere more intimate. The food was wonderful. We got the squash blossoms, potatoes pave, pork chops and red snapper dish, and we cleaned our plates. They have a bunch of fancy cocktails, and a robust wine menu, but only one beer offering: blue moon. Our waiter was wonderful and provided what you would expect from an upscale dining experience. It's definitely pricier than most places downtown, so probably best for a special occasion for most people. read more

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 read more

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. read more

The food was amazing, and the staff even more so. I could not say enough about how we were treated while we were there. I brought my wife here for a Valentines Day/ post skiing dinner, not realizing how seriously the restaurant and other patrons treat the holiday. They handed her a long stem rose at the door. The atmosphere was incredibly upscale and formal for the occasion. I mistakenly neglected to inform my wife of the expensive prefixed menu, and while we could afford it she was incredibly uncomfortable spending so much eating out when we almost never go out at all. The bar tender, I apologize profusely for not remembering his name, went back to the kitchen to let them know. They were able to work with us turning an incredibly embarrassing experience into one of the most memorable, and delicious, we have ever had. We will be returning, with better communication, in the future. read more

Had the most amazing experience at H&S this weekend. It was my first visit and truly remarkable. You walk through the bookcase into the restaurant and are immediately taken aback by the intimate ambiance of the room. The artwork was minimal but made a statement. Everything was clean and precise. We ordered our drinks and they were made quickly and expertly. The bartenders were very knowledgeable and made helpful suggestions. Each drink we had was perfectly balanced. We were brought two different "pre courses" the potato pavé and the London popover. Both of which were so flavorful and decadent without being heavy. Then at the recommendation of the bartender we ordered the ravioli as our starter. And it was even more impressive than we expected. It is one large and flavorful bite, and completely worth it. It was a great way to start our meal without being too heavy. For our entree we shared the Kings Crown, which is their lamb dish. And we were blown away. It was so flavorful and cooked to absolute perfection. The seasonings, sauces, and accoutrement were all expertly portioned and it was beautiful to look at. Then for dessert we ordered the Basque Cheesecake, and we were both speechless. It was presented so simply but with a light sprinkling of luster dust around the plate, giving it an almost glowing effect. We both agreed that it was the most exquisite dining experience we had enjoyed in a very long time. I'm not sure if anything else can compete. Every little detail was taken care of, nothing went unnoticed. Each server and bartender did a wonderful job. We can't wait to go back! read more

First the positives: 3-hour parking validation. The hostess was a doll. The main server and the expeditor were nice and enthusiastic. The velvet chairs were comfortable. The food presentation was good. The portions were fine. Now the issues: This is not a true speakeasy and it is not a luxury anything. It is a windowless restaurant you enter thru a book-cased door with tightly crammed tables, barely enough room for the unnecessary dessert food cart to travel around. The noise level is LOUD, I couldn't hear my date or the staff's explanations. The space is very dark and is not intimate - every other female patron enters with their camera recording which feels like an invasion of my privacy, certainly a distracting ruination of my experience. Our group did NOT get an amuse bouche but every other table did. The staff is not well trained in fine dining etiquette - they definitely do not understand cutlery communication, they don't know table setting placement, and they don't know how to bus tables properly. I gave feedback on a misstep and while they politely listened to me, the staff just avoided our table instead of learning from it (this was obvious bc the primary server did everything from that point on). The food was off - appetizers were bland, entrees were quite salty with proteins overcooked, and the gelato was flavorless and icy (I.e. improperly made/stored). Where is the quality control, chef? Does anyone taste the food before it goes out? Did the cooks use high salinity salt by accident? I caution the use 'Michelin' because it sets the standard high - being trained by a ranked professional does not guarantee the learner can execute at the standard which they were trained. This place is supposed to be 21+ but a family with two minors dined. The bathroom was atrocious. This place wasn't offensive; it certainly has potential but I will not return when there are better food establishments like Urban Hill and STK up the road. read more

I'm surprised I hadn't heard about this place sooner! The restaurant is tucked inside Bonnie and Clyde, which adds to its charm. There are a few parking spots out front, but there's plenty more in the side lot, and they do validate parking -- a nice bonus. The ambience is classy and romantic, with a cozy atmosphere. I especially loved the hidden door entrance -- such a fun and unique touch. The service was very good overall. Our server was friendly and accommodating, although it did seem like they were handling a few too many tables, as we often had to wait a bit longer to place additional drink orders. As for the food, I was genuinely impressed. I was surprised to read some mixed reviews because everything we had was excellent and, in my opinion, well worth the price. It's possible we caught them at a great time since I know they rotate their menu seasonally. I would definitely love to come back again and try more dishes. Highly recommend giving it a shot! read more

Really concept and so fun to enjoy. Our starters were beyond delicious and perfect. The cocktails took a while to come but were worth the wait. We sat at the corner in the bar so had great people watching. The only issue was when our main dish came, it was luke warm which is disappointing for a steak and the pave potatoes, especially for the cost. I would recommend ordering more starters and sharing a main meal read more

5 out of 5 Rating (maximum points = 5) Value for money: 4.5 Cleanliness: 5 Food Quality: 5 Customer Service: 5 Look and Feel (Ambiance): 5 Thank you, Come Again?: 5 Surprise after surprise. Hide and Seek is a whimsical new speakeasy style restaurant located in downtown SLC. According to Google maps, the address for the restaurant leads you to a coffee shop called Bonnie and Clydes. Fortunately, I had done my research and knew that there would be a "secret entrance" and continued walking towards the coffee shop. Upon entering, you are greeted by the hostess who leads you through the hidden entrance via a bookcase door. I love unexpected surprises like these. Once seated, you immediately feel like you're in an exclusive club. I couldn't have been more excited for my meal to come. Potato Pave: if you see a restaurant serving this layered potato dish, then you know it's going to be an amazing experience. This was the first complimentary amuse bouche before the appetizers. London Popover: this is the 2nd amuse bouche that we got to try. I loved how they offered the options to add savory Gruyère cheese and sea salt or you can go the sweet route and use a berry jam spread. Yum! So tasty. (Appetizer) Blossoms de Tinga: $22 - this dish was so unique. I've had squash blossom before but eating it like a chicken drumstick was a unique experience. The blossom was filled with the chicken tinga and the stem was the handle. The server recommended to drag the blossom over the sauce on the plate. It was incredibly delicious. My mouth is watering just the thought of it again. (Entree) 8oz Filet: $52 - my husband ordered this dish and he couldn't stop smiling. The steak was perfectly cooked and fork tender. Another highlight of this dish is that they also serve asparagus (al dente) and more of the crispy potatos pave on the side. Yum. I can't get enough of these potatos. (Entree) Seabass: $35 - the sea bass was lightly charred and laid on a bed of tabbouleh. Surrounding the fish is a bright spiced orange foam. I loved how this dish was light and doesn't make you feeling bloated. (Dessert) Madagascar Berries: $15 - the tart was buttery, flakey, and served with three different sauces (vanilla bean cremeux, dulce de Leche, and sesonal berries). This dessert wasn't heavy and very light. Overall, I would be interested in returning to try out the other dishes. There was a dessert called "Candy Land (the show) which features all the desserts and is presented by the chef. I didn't end up ordering it since my husband and I were already full to the max but it would be interesting to try it for the next visit with a larger group of people. It's pricey for the table side show at $25 per person. Since it's only season 1 for the restaurant, I look forward to the new menu for the next season. Would you go? Let me know. Follow me for all the sips and trips. read more

Hide & Seek is as good as it gets in the SLC area. Very few restaurants at this price point in Utah feel worth the money, either because the food is mediocre, service is lackluster, portion sizes are small, etc... This place does not fall into that box. Hide & Seek hits on every note, and my wife and I can't wait to come back. To start, they give you an amuse-bouche, which is a wonderful gateway into the palate party you're about to attend. Our table ordered several appetizers including the scallop ceviche, blossoms de tinga, and citrus spinach salad. The ceviche was other worldly with its flavors, presentation, and creativity. The salad was very small, but one of the most delicious bites of food I've had in a long time, so the size didn't bother me. This restaurant uses techniques used in Michelin Star restaurants around the world that make for a very unique and enjoyable dining experience. The presentations, sauces, textures, flavors and dish concepts are all very intentional. You will see what I mean when you go, so I will spare you the details. The main courses were all generous in portion size as well as looking and tasting phenomenal. I had the lamb, which in my opinion, was the best entree on the table. Others went for the short rib, fillet mignon, and salmon. Both the fillet and the short rib were exceptional. My only critique would be that the fillet was a touch saltier than I would prefer, which didn't bother me much, but could have if I had more than a couple bites. The only entree I didn't try was the salmon, but it received a glowing review as well. The bread pudding for dessert was the icing on the cake. The general consensus around the table was that the cocktails, food, and service were all fantastic. The vibe is intimate, edgy, and youthful, while also being elegant and classy. Great location for a date or small celebration. The restaurant is not a large space, so it may be difficult to find room for parties of 10 or more. Hopefully Hide & Seek can maintain its standards to consistently deliver a top-tier dining experience because they are on their way to being widely regarded as the best restaurant in town. read more

We came to this place while visiting SLC based on a Yahoo article about the top speakeasys in every state. Now I have been to A LOT of speakeasys and the only thing that makes this a speakeasy is the "hidden" entrance door inside of a cafe. Once inside it is just a regular high-end restaurant that is VERY loud and VERY bright, which is very UNspeakeasy-like. But the food was good, which is why I gave it 4 stars. But as far as speakeasys go, this is a one and done. read more

We went to Hide and Seek for a date night on a Saturday night. It's nice that they allow parking at the apartment building by it. The service was awesome and we felt taken care of, maybe a little too crowded inside, but it felt cozy. We had to wait about 15 minutes passed our reservation time to be seated and the staff treated us to cocktails for the wait. Regarding to the food, we LOVED the scallop ceviche, the chicken de tinga and the sea bass. The raviolis were ok, but not worth $7 a piece, in my opinion. We were also let down by the croquettes, we are from Spain and our expectations in croquettes are high, they did not hit the mark for us. The bill was about $150 for two people and we got to try 5 dishes plus desert. read more

See all

I had never heard of this place, but we found a same-day reservation and thought it looked ambient and beautiful inside. The entrance really is impressive but unfortunately, that's where the positives ended. Inside the lighting was rathe bright for a "speak-easy". The dining area felt cramped, and it was so loud that it was difficult to hear our waitress. We initially wanted to order the tomahawk steak, but they were sold out and in hindsight, we were glad they were. We ordered the filet and the double bone pork chop instead, and both were mediocre at best and absolutely not worth the price. Service was a bit slow. We immediately ordered a bottle of wine but waited over 20 minutes before it arrived. The sides were just as disappointing. The mushrooms were $20 and arrived soggy and completely lacking flavor. The potatoes were also underwhelming. Overall, the food was shockingly bland for a restaurant at this price point. As parents, date nights are rare for us, so this experience was especially disappointing. Our bill was nearly $400, and I couldn't help but wish we had gone to another restaurant in the same price range that actually delivers on flavor and quality. The presentation of the food was nice, but it couldn't make up for how poor everything tasted. The ambiance everyone talks about really only applies to the entranc once inside, it just didn't live up to the hype. read more

Hide N Seek has a really cool ambiance and a great vibe. The drinks were excellent, and most of the appetizers/shareables were really good--definitely the highlight of the menu. However, the entrees were a big letdown. The steak was so salty we had to send it back, the duck wasn't cooked enough to render the fat properly, and the braised beef was dry and not tender. The popover also wasn't great. That said, I'd go back, but probably just sit at the bar and stick to drinks and apps. read more

It was awesome!!! The waiter explained each dish. All was excellent. The vibe was very cool. I don't want to give it away but it is hidden gem with a coffee shop. They sold cinnamon rolls in coffee shop that was baked by the chef who is a Michelin star chef they were delicious. What a great place food service and vibe!! Music was great too. Not too loud. I definitely will come back read more
