The Hideout

Service was amazing, our waitress was extremely nice, helpful, and cheerful. Checked in on us multiple times and made suggestions when asked. Menu had a variety of options from salads, burgers, pastas, and appetizers. Plates and appetizers were good portions, more than usual. Plates were $30-40 each. Appetizers were $10-20 each. Ranch is thick & creamy, gotta give props when someone has good ranch. As an appetizer I ordered the Mac & Cheese with bacon. Was impressed by the large portion and well worth the extra 2 bucks for adding a huge amount of bacon. I enjoyed the flavor but wished it was more cheesy. The top was drying and I had to dig to the bottom for the cheese, which was more watery than expected. Personally, I prefer thick ans creamy cheese. But still worth the 16 buck price as it was a large portion. I ordered the Salmon Risotto for my main dish. Salmon was perfectly cooked, just didn't have much seasoning on its own. Sauce was creamy and flavorful. Risotto is in my top 5, really loved the flavoring. The combination of Salmon, sauce, and Risotto worked in a beautiful harmony. But the veggies were my least favorite & the reason for not getting the 5th star. Green beans and yellow squash. Now, I love vegetables, but these were not it. Took a bite and they were bland. Only after adding salt and pepper was I able to enjoy the green beans. But the squash I gave to my grandma, she prefers bland. They were also squishy from being overcooked(the squash). Maybe they have no flavor for people to season on their own? I'm not sure but I was disappointed with the steamed veggies. My family ordered burgers and the pastrami sandwich. They had large meat portions to where my uncle and cousin were full & pleased. I tried the Chipotle Aioli and was impressed. With the immaculate service and overall great food, my family and I enjoyed this restaurant experience. Would highly recommend.

📢Big shout-out the The Hideout 🤤 We always feel like family when we visit and I personally know most of the servers and they are the best of the best✨ They are poppin right now, so don’t be surprised if you have to wait, but once you are in you will get your food and beverages real quick ;). 📸In the picture: top is the wedge salad with steak and bacon, below is the very very creamy and delicious mac and cheese, and right is their 1/2 size of the Hideout salad with shrimp. We also came back and tried their chicken sandwich pictured below**

First trip to the Hideout and very much enjoyed it. It’s easy to miss if you’re not looking for it, as it’s set back from the road behind a small parking lot (if the lot is full, there’s parking along the other side of the road). Food was good and service friendly. Tried their lunch special - blackened mahi mahi with slaw, onions, and lettuce on an onion bun. Very nice.

First time at the Hideout in Aptos. We didn’t really know what to expect from this restaurant and bar. First thing we noticed was the prices were a little on the high side which we were not expecting. However when we received our meals we were extremely pleasantly surprised. The food was out of this world. We had the barbecue wings, shrimp Louie salad, and a short rib dinner entrée. The short ribs were the most tender meat I have ever tasted. No knife needed. The atmosphere was great and The service left nothing to be desired. Definitely recommend

Came here for dinner and had the Mahi Mahi and Brussel sprouts. We were seated right away and chose to sit indoors next to a nice fireplace. The outdoor seating area is absolutely beautiful as well, and has heating and small fire pits. The food was fantastic, service was wonderful and the whole experience was great! I will be coming back again soon!

This place is such a gem! The staff are attentive and friendly. The combination of indoor and outdoor space offers plenty of seating options. As great as all of this is, the food and cocktails are what make this place! They have an excellent menu and we have enjoyed every meal we have ever tasted. My personal favorite is the salmon risotto.
