Manager Gabe was attentive,…read moreChef Leo is a gem with his food creations and kindness visiting tables and Ashlee was a great waitress. We started with the Octopus and Calamari (fried squid). Both were made to perfection. Great flavor and so tender. A perfect start to the dinner. We had the Caprese and Caesar Salad next. Both had solid flavors, but the Caesar was our favorite. What a treat. Exactly what I'm looking for in a Caesar salad. So good! The pesto on the Caprese was house made and so tasty. I want to try a pesto dish next time. My wife had the Sacchetti Porcini with truffle and it was light and perfectly balanced flavor. The pillows melted in your mouth. Will definitely have again. The Lobster Ravioli had a well balanced limoncello flavor and not too creamy. Cool striped pasta. Perfect for those not super hungry but wanting a unique dish that is sure to please. Steak Nicola was was cooked to perfection and had a suburb combination of black truffle, aus jus and prosciutto cotto to make it a memorable dish. I'm still craving it the day after. The cannelloni for dessert was perfectly Italian with awesome flavors. A perfectly compliment to an amazing dinner. This is a gem is Chandler!!! Thank you to Aqua Di Mare for making this an amazing experience.

We went with the Cajun seasoning, and it does have a solid kick to it. The corn and potatoes were a nice balance, helping cut through the spice a bit. The corn in particular was a standout: you get that sweet, salty, and spicy all at once, which was really satisfying. Everything came well-prepped and cleaned, so eating wasn't a hassle, and there's a fun, hands-on element to the whole experience that made it even more enjoyable. Lastly, the restaurant is quite spacious, so we had no issues finding a seat for our large group.

The staff was wonderful from beginning to end, and we especially want to recognize Katia. She was incredible throughout the planning process, helped relieve so much of our stress, and made sure everything came together flawlessly.

We received so many compliments from our guests about how amazing everything tasted, which is something people are still talking about.

If you're looking for a gorgeous venue with an incredible staff, beautiful décor, and amazing food, we wholeheartedly recommend Hidden House. Thank you for giving us the wedding of our dreams! We will be back every year to celebrate

The evening in ambiance was very nice, perfect for a romantic date. There's a second building between the front and the courtyard that's very open and inviting. We shared the pimento cheese dip with chicharrones and the sauce was so good we wrote down the description to try to make it ourselves later. I had the King salmon and my partner had the crab linguine. The crab was delectable, highly recommend. The salmon was good but a little on the dry side. For dessert we were too full to have anything rich so we went with the banana cream tart. Definitely a good option to try! It was delicious but light enough to eat after a big dinner.

I had ice tea and wife ordered the blood orange jenny drink; both were great and refreshing! I also ordered a loaf of their warmed sourdough and butter to share with the table. Almost like being in San Francisco! For dinner we decided to share a couple of things; the crab cakes, which comes with fried avocado and some of the best aioli for dipping. The cakes themselves are big and full of crab with just the right amount of filling to create a decadent and moist cake! We also shared the seared jumbo scallops...High Tides knows how to cook scallops to the best! So yummy and tender and perfectly cooked with that crispy outer and the soft, creamy inside. We also shared a Caesar salad and one of the things we love about this place...ask and you can get some fresh anchovy on the side to add to the salad. Wife always asks for more lemon as well to drizzle over the salad. Overall a fantastic dinner for us and everyone with us!

Instead, we were offered a table in the back outside while everyone else was seated inside. As a Black family, the experience left us feeling unwelcome. I can't say why we were treated this way, but the interaction was extremely disappointing, we chose to dine elsewhere. Update: After my original review, the restaurant reached out to apologize for our experience. We decided to give them another chance, and I'm glad we did. Our return visit was completely different. The service was excellent, and we had the pleasure of meeting the Ashley Cook, General Manager and the owner. They made us feel genuinely welcome. I appreciate that they took our feedback seriously and worked to make things right. Our server Tyler was exceptional.

Music is always on pointe and I would never change the look or ambiance of the place either. My last trip here though I had to ask about why the menu had stopped changing as often since we were one of two parties there in the middle of happy hour and there was a large framed picture of a bartender with a bunch of signed notes on the bottom of it beside me at the bar. It turns out that one of the oldest curators and bartenders of the bar and restaurant had passed from a drunk driving incident and I had not known at all! Gosh I was so disappointed in myself that I had ever complained about not having a new menu to try after that...but at the same time it was amazing to hear so many great anecdotes and to learn so much more about him and the history of the bar itself while dining this time. I had a lot of fun times at this bar - including remembering the first time I met that bartender and sharing that memory with the staff that told me their story. They also shared that they would be coming out with a new menu very soon and some of the new items and ideas that would be rolling out so I am also very excited to go back! New food menu tomorrow too?! What?! I was almost tempted to back today to get more of their amazing dishes from the main menu!! Thank you Cat for the amazing hospitality! I learned so much about Gaea in one afternoon too :D Love it. To update about the food I tried but some of you may not get to try since they're changing it up :P *Tiger Shrimp - DIVINE - JUICY ZUCCHINI STUFFED WITH CURRY THAT MAKES YOUR ENTIRE MOUTH WATER JUST THINKING ABOUT IT ONCE ITS EVER TOUCHED YOUR TONGUE - the prawns are BIGGER THAN YOUR MIDDLE FINGER *Thai Salad - zesty spicy, VERY filling and made in lettuce cups, so very much not your typical salad but very tasty *steak skewers - much more like the juiciest steak I've literally ever had on a skewer - LITERALLY...but not because it's fat, just because they somehow made this steak completely juicified - don't ask me how - ask Cat *Mole Chicken Skewers - My favorite...you should just try it.

They were not just confirming the reservation but asking which type of table we'd like, any mobility issues (as there is seating upstairs as well as the main floor) and what, if any, was the occasion. When we arrived for our 5pm reservation, we were instantly seated and met our AMAZING server Kay. She was an absolute gem. Our daughters have Celiac which Kay was incredibly attentive to. She was kind, funny and helpful. We'll definitely be sitting in her section again! The ambiance is beautiful and bright allowing the natural sunlight in. The live piano player was fantastic, calming and not too loud. The food was top notch. We've been to other steakhouses and the salt used, has always made us feel bloated and swollen walking out especially in the AZ heat. Elliot's was refreshing and none of us felt the need to hydrate after. We'll be coming back soon. Whether it's just a date night for my husband and I or an entire family celebration, Elliot's has become our go to. PS: the manager went above and beyond for us. Our daughter purchased my husband and I a gift certificate at Christmas. She didn't e-claim the certificate and we had intended to use it towards our family dinner. After calling the restaurant, the manager went through the 60 transactions of gift certificates on the date ours was purchased and applied it prior to us arriving. Service at every level was warm, welcoming and kind.

We went to Elliott's for my birthday dinner and overall had a very enjoyable evening…read more We started with cocktails--my Old Fashioned was made with Old Forester 1910, one of my favorite bourbons, and was excellent. My partner had a French 75 that she really enjoyed. For dinner, we both ordered the 6 oz filet medium. She chose the demi-glace and I had the bone marrow butter, which was absolutely delicious. We also shared the French fries, and they were excellent. The only disappointment was that both of our steaks came out closer to medium-rare than medium. The flavor was very good, but the undercooking left the filets a little chewier than we prefer and they were missing that tender, almost melt-in-your-mouth texture we expect from a properly cooked filet. That said, we enjoyed the atmosphere, cocktails, sauces and sides, and had a very nice birthday dinner. There was a lot to like about Elliott's. I'd definitely give them another visit--I'd just be a little more specific about the steak temperature next time.

I opted for the Chilean Seabass with whipped potatoes and a Lobster Shallot Tarragon butter. It was exceptional. Cooked near perfection, succulent, tender fish with the rich sauce and creamy mash.

There a number of little restaurants in this same location, and an upscale apt complex, so you might be doing a little walking on a busy weekend night. Seated at our reservation time on patio. Asked, and yes, it is dog friendly. Met our server and got a couple craft cocktails going. A smoked bourbon number, and a delish rum concoction. Because it gets rave reviews, started with the lobster pot stickers .. they lived up to their billing, I think there were 5 on the plate as my dining partner and I flipped a coin to see who got the extra odd one. For entrees, order the crusted mahi and the Chilean Sea Bass. Both were excellent, perfectly cooked. My server found me an outstanding white wine for my fish. Not leaving without sampling the bread pudding. Don't miss this even if you are full. It's that good. Whole experience very enjoyable with live jazz music playing indoors and piped out to patio. Will def go back. Menu full of good looking food
