    The Hideout offers a cool dining experience with a relaxed and inviting ambiance that perfectly captures the Hawaiian vibe. The atmosphere was definitely a highlight and made for a great start to the day. The food was decent—nothing extraordinary but still enjoyable. The flavors were good, and the dishes were well-prepared, though not particularly memorable. Overall, The Hideout is a nice spot for breakfast with good vibes, making it worth a visit if you’re looking for a chill dining experience in Hawaii.

    The entire experience was perfect. As it should be. Our dinner, by comparison, far exceeded our experience at a local 5 star resort. This restaurant is a hidden gem and a true delight.

    Best food we ate on Oahu. We had a great time and would go again, BUT if you are celebrating a special occasion, don't expect any attention from the restaurant. We let them know we were celebrating a milestone birthday. We were given the absolute worst seats in the house and other than a very cursory happy birthday from our server as we were seated, there was no mention of our celebration. We didn't need or expect anything, but it is unusual enough in the restaurant world that I thought I would mention it. The food was so good and it made the night.
