Food was amazing. our server was alright but seemed distracted and didn't come to our table much. the owner is such a kind man and even overheard us talking about how we were cold so he turned the ac down. We went for our friend's birthday and they gave us a birthday dessert with a candle in it as " complimentary" but then we had to pay for it. Just seems a little odd to randomly bring it out and then make us pay for it. read more

Came here with the expectation of brunch. Came in & there was no brunch type of food. Was told that their summer menu is all they have. So just FYI if you're coming here expecting brunch. Was told they will be remodeling & brunch isn't in season, so that's why they aren't having brunch. Edited to add that this place is super cute on the inside, really hope they bring back brunch. This place is very "insta" worthy for photos. Management was super nice, they comped the drinks we had because we thought it was going to be a brunch place. Would be back, but for dinner! Also, espresso martini was delicious, the hint of coconut was perfect! read more

Great happy hour! Great drinks and good menu. Friendly bar staff. Happy hour starts early so don't wait till late in the afternoon.

I have eaten at hideout many times never have I gotten the experience i've had today.I walked in and it was not busy. Thats to say the place was empty, and i sit there for about fifteen minutes before i'm looked at.And then the tattooed female bartender doesn't bother to give me her name or look at me , after a while she says What will you have to drink?What will you have to eat?I put my order in and my food takes about thirty to forty minutes,so i ask for a pre emotive box and my food comes right out Cout cold, which tells me it was sitting there since i orfered it.. i was never checked on or told my food might be a min. Completely ignored at the bar directly in front of the bartenders. Unacceptable, do try and be better read more

Came here for lunch, recommended from someone my family and I met on a trip to Palm Springs! I understand why its so recommended now, the food is top tier and the service was wonderful! read more

This is not my first or 2nd time. This place is my addiction. We 1st came here and met Vic. From the moment we sat down thru the service, and the food - it was exceptional. We then met Eric and all the wonderful staff. Great ambiance, kind service, and killer food. read more

Best sliders and poke nachos anywhere! Yummy raspberry margaritas! Love this place ! The truffle French fries were delicious too, read more

Absolute gem! We've been coming here for years but it's been months since our last visit. Per usual, Vic stopped by our table and is so helpful and friendly. We met a new server tonight named Rosa and she truly just made our night. She is a kind soul and was on point the entire night. Epic food. Epic drinks. Epic staff. A must visit in the area. read more

Great pizzas! Loved the bread pudding. Fabulous service. Thanks to Vic and Valerie!

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great atmosphere, food and service![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is a good vibe going on here[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food is moderately priced read more

We sat at the bar and had great service. The avocado fries are the best I've ever had. The buffalo cauliflower and cheese pizza were delicious as well! They have a great happy hour menu. Highly recommend! read more

MOST IMPROVED RESTAURANT IN PALM DESERT! When this place first opened, it was underwhelming and disappointing. They were constantly out of menu items, the service and food were uneven. NOW it is GREAT!! Best Happy Hour on El Paseo. Great food! Great service!! Whatever you did (new management team?), YAY!!! Such a GREAT VALUE! read more

I have come here 3 times now. Honestly front of the house to back of the house staff is awesome. It starts with a warm greeting from the host. She's a lovely lady that wears converse. Michelle took care of us last visit and she defined what a perfect server is. She is a rockstar server. The manager I believe his name is Vick comes around and checks on every table and make sure food and service is up to par. Cocktails are amazing. I recommend the martinis. The Vespar martini is awesome along with the smoking rita and chocolate martini. The bar tender is awesome here. Food we come for the pizza and burgers. Both are top notch. My wife believes this place has the best pizza in the valley. It is pretty awesome pizza iny opinion. Also had the avocado fries, meatballs and the potatoes pommes and they are also good. This is now a part of our rotation and is a top spot on the Coachella valley. I definitely recommend this location. read more

Cargo was an amazing bartender taking care of our entire group! Drinks were delicious and great entertainer Food recommendations: sliders, Humboldt fog pizza, and buffalo cauliflower wings read more

Pizza! The best margarita around. Great crust, but nice nice staff! Nice happy hour choices.

Great service and food is delicious. I alleys have a great experience there. The service is always great.

Great menu, great service, wonderful Palm Desert ambience - they have the unquestionably best burger in Palm Desert! (Smash Burger - says the Hubby but the pizzas ) Check cocktail and wine list excellent! Come for great Happy Hour but you will come back again and again and again! read more

We had the BLAT and the Tuna salad. Both were wonderful, the fries my personal weakness were excellent. Our waiter was busy so the time it took to get drinks was acceptable. Slightly disappointed in my tequila pour. Casamigos shouldn't cost that much. The ladies at the next table ordered the specialty cocktails. They said the pizza was delicious. We sat a window in the bar. Kind of loud but like being outside. I'd come back and sit at the bar. read more

I made a reservation for two, and when I arrived and waiting 5 minutes for someone to greet me, the hostess started naming off names that my reservation could be under. I told her I called the night before and even gave my cell number. She asked if I got the name of the person as they are completely full and cannot seat without a confirmation number. Good to know after the fact, completely unprofessional. Will not return and will also tell my clients. Best of luck as the restaurant was half empty when I arrived. read more

We went here for restaurant week and the deal was great! The restaurant was gorgeous and has indoor and outdoor seating. The meatballs were AMAZING. They were super tender and flavorful. The steelhead was also really great, the skin was crispy and the middle was tender. We also got the buffalo cauliflower with the sauce on the side, the steak with yummy mashed potatoes, and bread pudding for dessert. The owner was walking around checking on everyone and was very friendly! Would recommend coming here if you're in the palm desert area! read more

We have been eating there since it opened. Great food and the best meatballs I have ever had. Vic is a wonderful host.......you will be glad you tried it... dale gribow read more

Just finished another fabulous dinner at what has become our favorite restaurant in Palm Desert.  We vacationed for 9 nights in the area and ended up enjoying the Hideout on four separate nights.  [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great live entertainment and comfortable dining inside and out with a very welcoming and extremely talented staff.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The menu from this "all scratch" kitchen is fabulous!! From wings, high end burgers, a wide variety of wood fired pizzas to a fabulous  chicken parmesan, and grandma's meatballs and angle hair pasta---all of their entrees were fabulous and generous portions can easily be shared. Reasonable prices and great service made for a relaxed and rewarding dining experience.  Definitely a 5 star experience all around for each of our visits. Try their new apple filled bread pudding. It may be the best dessert we've ever had.   Great job Vic, Justin, Enrique and your entire team! read more

Popped into this joint yesterday while waiting for a seat at another nearby restaurant... enjoyed the brew and vibe so we committed to coming back today! Promptly seated outdoors at the end of brunch, and after our drink order was taken another server tried to repeat, that and the dirty tables that lingered around us were indicators of understaff situ that would hamper our visit. Took quite awhile for my beer to come and I was disappointed at the temp... I'm assuming it was poured immediately and sat at the bar for 10 minutes. Started out with the caesar... lacked proper dressing coverage, and we were completely finished before anyone came back to check on us. Also small portion for the cost....lettuce is cheap! Opted for the bbq chicken pizza, and crust was good but was underwhelmed by the amount of chicken. Ambiance was Southwest patio, service was slow and not very helpful, and price was above food quality/quantity. This joint does not make the list. read more

Such great service, food and atmosphere! We love coming here for Social Hour. Awesome prices and overwhelmingly friendly staff.

We found this restaurant late night during the week. We were looking for something good to eat outside of our hotel. This was one of the few restaurants that appeared to be kid friendly and open past 9pm. So happy we stumbled in. Vic- the GM was so friendly and welcoming, as was our waiter. We ordered the pizza for ourselves and our girls and it was sooo good! The house made chicken sausage was 10/10. I highly recommend stopping in here if you're in the area! read more

Just left the Hideout Kitchen and Bar. We enjoyed the sliders as our appetizer and the Rocco pizza was great too. Service was attentive and super friendly. We've been to this restaurant on many occasions and the service and food have always been great! We've been with large groups and they've been very accommodating and equally valued as a party of 2. We enjoyed meeting the GM-Vic this evening who was a pleasure to talk with and we recognized his enthusiasm for making everyone's experience enjoyable as a guest at the Hideout. If you haven't tried this place- now's the time. You won't be disappointed! read more

I only post a 1 star because the manager is a quote. It's a nice place, but the atmosphere is lowered by the Mgr wearing jeans a "t" shirt ​​with a change of key on his belt. And told me to leave because I wanted the food like I wanted it. This is a low in place. No really Chef, just a short order cook with attitude. I question the Mgr as to his qualifications. He must be Vic's relative.​ read more

The food was fresh, and delicious. Very tasty. A large menu variety. I enjoyed there early happy hour specials. The service was excellent. The restaurant is beautiful, sitting is very comfortable and a bright atmosphere. I will definitely return. Family friendly which is a plus. read more

Our party of four had reservations last night at 5:45. We sauntered in a little early and we were seated immediately. The motif inside is a little drab but it was clean and it wasn't busy inside. We started with cocktails, that's the way to go for a dinner out. I had a couple of "Razaritas", no not at once but that tells you they were decent enough. We shared the "Loaded Pommes" but they were empty in the center. They were a little crusty on the outside, maybe a tad overdone. My "Hideout Pizza" was PHENOMENAL and I finished it like I was in HS after basketball practice. The ingredients were fresh and tasty with different layers. My friend and neighbor ordered the "Pear Pizza" which was also delicious and different, including a balsamic glaze. Our server Brinkley was training but she did a great job being congenial and patient. Overall, we had a great time here and the parking was plentiful right across from Hotel Paseo on Larkspur. We will hopefully return before the weather changes. read more

Came for restaurant week. But great new find! Smashburger amazing and poke nachos huge. Will be back for sure. Ask for Lillian (Lilly) she was fabulous Watermelon smash sooo good. Not super sweet at all. Great craft cocktails. Enjoy! read more

The food and service were amazing definitely will go back!!! Regret not getting the meatballs but I will next time. Highly recommend going to the hideout! The drinks were amazing as well!!! read more

We were looking forward to trying the hideout after their remodel. Sunday night for a football game and couldn't be more disappointed. Sat at bar towards the end in spot that obviously someone had left previously as it was dirty with dirty glasses sitting there. To our right was the end of the bar with at least 40 dirty glasses just taking up space next to bar seats. 5 minutes we were finally acknowledged with a "be with you soon" People sitting next to us saw we had no menu and gave us their menu just a dinner menu A few more minutes one of the 2 bartenders came by and said happy hour until, what can I get you? We said any chance you could clean Thai spot off and remove the dirty glasses? He did hesitantly but came back with a normal napkin that he than ran under the sink below the counter with just water and proceeded to sip the bar down. Leaving a big wet spot. He wiped about 10% of it down with a Cocktail napkin ‍we grabbed a couple more and wiped the rest down. We than asked for a happy hour menu and 2 waters to start. Took him a few more minutes to bring that. He came back again took our order for 2 cocktails. Another few minutes later he brought back my drink but not my wife's and placed my drink in front of my wife. Than asked us, what else did you order? We told him again. Moved the drink over. He than went to his register and started pecking away while holding a mug for a mule. Took another 7-8 minutes for him to finally make the other drink. Finally it came and was so so. Something didn't seem right with it. A strawberry mule. We order some wings. Buffalo style with a side of barbecue. With blue cheese dressing. Took him at least 3 minutes pecking away at register to order them correctly. In the meantime, manager went to end of bar to ask them to remove the dirty glasses as multiple people tried to sit there but didn't want to sit next to or stare at dirty glasses. Bartend removed about 7 glasses and that was it. Wings came. With blue cheese crumbles. We asked staff if they had blue cheese dressing instead. "Oh yeah, oops". Wings were dry and not appealing at all. We planned on staying for entire game but left after one drink and the wings. At Least 6 people sat next to us and left without being acknowledged. A table behind us had the same issue. As they were never acknowledged after 15 minutes. Want to give them another chance but don't think we can because the service was so poor and obviously the manager doesn't care either because it all happened right in front of him. Really too bad because it is a great location but someone doesn't care in management. read more

The service by Enrique was excellent. The food was good but overly garnished. Basil goes a long way I had a handful on my margarita pizza. Had an upset stomach and Enrique helped cure that with his bartender and for that level of care and service I'll be back. Food was great but service was better. read more

This Place was Delicious!! From the drinks to the apps to the Mains to the Dessert!!!!! OMG That bread pudding!!!! Service was Amazing!!! Just Go!!!!!!!!! read more

Nice variety of lunch choices, cocktails and reasonable prices. The food was excellent.

We have been to the Hideout before and did not experience what we experienced last Saturday. We had a 5:00 reservation. We tried to call twice to say we were running 15 minutes late. It went straight to voicemail. We arrived at the hostess at 5:15 and weren't seated until 5:40. We were not able to order until 6:10 which was 10 minutes past the happy hour time. The waiter, whom we had to practically drag to our table to take our order, then told us happy hour was over, but he would ask the chef to do us a favor. A favor? By the time we got our appetizers it was around 615 or 620 again our reservation was at five. The food was OK, but it was much better service and quality the last time we were here. Given the benefit of the doubt maybe happy hour overcrowded them, but I don't have any inclination to go back anytime soon. read more

My husband and I dined here tonight. It was our first visit to The Hideout but not our last! We were in the mood for a pepperoni pizza and a Caesar salad. The salad came first - they split it for us, which was nice and we appreciated that. It was fresh and tasty. Next up, the pepperoni pizza. From the first bite to the last bite, it was outstanding! A hint of garlic, some Italian seasonings, and the dough was crispy and flavorful! 10 out of 10!! Vic, the general manager stopped by our table and being in the hospitality industry myself, we had a great conversation. We complimented him on the service and the delicious food. He sent over a bread pudding that was extraordinary. Hot out of the oven, delicious caramel sauce, and the bread pudding was topped off with a scoop of vanilla ice cream! A dreamy dessert topped off a most delicious meal. If you're in the El Paseo area, stop in for some amazing Italian food and more. Next time I want to try their boneless half chicken with rice, pilaf, and broccolini. read more

Came for a bachelor/bachelorette dinner of 14 people & it was absolutely perfect! Food was fantastic, drinks were great & the service was incredible. The whole atmosphere was amazing & the restaurant was super accommodating for a large party. Our server was super attentive & everything was priced very very reasonably. Would 1000% come back here! read more

Only one server that worked in our area trying to juggle all the customers .. The salad was bag lettice , looked like they didn't even try warm lettuce, $11 ... Hideout are way way to expensive for what you get. I'll to my Daily grill , they put more effort into food presentation and quality. read more

We checked out the hideout kitchen and bar because of the happy hour reviews on yelp. They really have an awesome happy hour! So many good choices! As recommended I made a reservation and selected inside. I wish I had selected outside because they had live music and the weather was perfect. Inside had a cool vibe but was dark and the AC was blowing hard. The hostess found us a table that was away from the AC vent which we appreciated. For food we ordered calamari, mussels, ahi poke and sliders. Calamari was great, the calabrian chilis added nice heat complimented by the lemon aioli for dipping, Yum!! The mussels stole the show, it was a good portion and the broth was delicious I was eating it by itself! The sliders (3 total) were cooked well and full of flavor. Ahi poke was fresh with nice chunks of ahi but was over powered by the sweet soy sauce. I love a dirty martini with fresh stuffed blue cheese olives so was excited to see this on the menu (not on happy hour) sadly they were out of blue cheese olives but GM Vic personally stuffed olives to make me the perfect cocktail. Service was great, the GM spent time talking with us making us feel right at home. My only suggestion is to properly stock the bathroom - toilet paper was on the floor and not put inside the dispenser, paper towel roll on the counter and not in the dispenser. But overall a great experience and would definitely come back to try more food from the menu and those blue cheese olives read more
