    Service was very slow. Had to engage other servers to help us. The 3% ambiance fee feels like a penalty instead of a privilege. Nickel Dime stuff. The patrons help make up the ambiance as well so maybe we should charge something as well.

    We have always enjoyed this place. But last night was terrible. The food and the service were substantially worse than any other time we've been there. Very disappointed, particularly given we were celebrating our son's high school graduation. Doubt we'll return.

    Food is mediocre, furniture is old and falling apart. Nothing special about this place whatsoever. Our waiter was nice and they did give me a complimentary birthday dessert which was the best of the night.

    First time visiting after seeing how good the food looked on Instagram. The food was actually good in person and will return soon. Service was great as well for the servers.

    We arrived a little early for our reservation. The hostess made some seating changes to be able to seat us early which was appreciated. However, after barely an hour as we were almost finished with our meals/beverages, the hostess came over and said that since we'd been there for TWO hours, they needed the table. We corrected her that we'd only been there an hour. Shortly after that our server also came over to shoo us away. We felt this was very rude.

    The service was lovely, but the octopus appetizer was fatty and unappealing. The salmon dish was good, but mediocre in flavoring and too oily. I think the food needs a refresh.

    Great for outdoor dining and eating large food. Staff is solid and there isn't any big drawbacks that I've found. But the food is big...like too big. It's not a problem, but their version of a BLT was too big to eat with my hands! Tasty, but wow. If your in the area, it's a solid choice.

    We came to celebrate two birthdays, and family dinner at a table was a great experience. The Hideout Kitchen delivered once again.
