Hideaway

Gina was pouring us stiffies. Amazing service 10/10 will come back. Love the new restaurant.

We were on a family vacation in SD and had a beach day at Pacific Beach. By the time we were done we were ready for dinner and found the Hideaway and it ended up being our favorite meal of the trip!The menu has so many yummy options and the drink menu is expansive with many delicious concoctions.I ordered the lobster roll and dare I say it was the best I ever had??? It was perfectly balanced, not too heavy or loaded with mayo, perfectly seasoned. It had a couple of shell bits in it, but it was so good I could overlook that. My 10 year old was raving about the grilled cheese and tomato soup. My other son had the short ribs and husband have a pasta and meatball dish. The Caesar salad was crisp and delicious, so overall everyone was super happy. Can't wait to be back!

So this place is pretty awesome! They opened June 20, 2024 and it is a hidden gem!Paige D waited on us and she was adorable and helpful with the menu. The happy Hour menu was plentiful. I got the Hideaway burger with truffle fries and a side of Mac and Cheese. My lady got the half chicken. There are NOT many gluten-free choices but the half chicken and mashed potatoes were enjoyed.The beer upgrade to 32oz for $1 was awesome! There are many draughts to choose from. The wine list is small but adequate.The atmosphere inside was quaint and the vibe was fun and seemed like an after work crowd. We were seated outside and people watched as we watched a baseball game (padres/Pirates) was rained out. We came on a Tuesday and people trickle I . Totally recommend and will be back!

Cute interior and loved the indoor/outdoor flow so it doesn't get too hot. HOWEVER, overheard someone in line say it was "manufactured exclusivity" with the long lines to get in. FACTS.Friday after 9 pm forget about a reasonable wait time. I know they're new and still working on their service but if you make people wait unreasonably long when space is not the issue...no one wins. You lose customers who don't want to wait or people sober up too fast and then just naturally all head to the bar putting a strain on the bartenders.DJ was good at catering to the crowd, but crowd had absolutely no concept of personal space so maybe it was actually good it wasn't that packed in there? Will consider giving it a second chance if asked hoping to redeem the experience but as of right now I'm sticking to my classic PB bars when I want a fun night out.Hideaway is trendy and new but my overall impression was we're still learning how to do this.

New spot that has already become super popular! The owners have put an emphasis on being a restaurant first, and a bar second. And this is definitely true if you've tasted the food! I was very impressed by their pretzels appetizer (it's huge)! Additionally, we had the mini keg and that was a fun experience but tasted a little like jungle juice.Besides that, the restaurant looks like a little surf lodge and has lots of comfy areas to sit. At night, it turns into a bar and they have been pretty packed with crowds!

Honestly surprised how good everything was! My favorite was the lobster roll and the pizza with the hot honey. My aunt enjoyed her spicy margaritas and burger. What was a huge bummer was my poor little cousin found a long brown hair practically cooked in her lobster Mac n cheese. But we were all halfway eating & it was incredibly loud, didn't feel worth it to get the server & yell to her that we found a hair.... So minus one star for that....But I would definitely come here for a girls night out or dinner with friends. It does get very crowded and very loud at night with good music.

Hideaway in Pacific Beach is the newest spot in town, taking over the iconic Fatfish Fish Taco Master's location. While it's promising and has some excellent dishes, my overall experience left me feeling a bit underwhelmed.Starting with the positives, the food was undeniably delicious. The hummus and pita were outstanding--definitely a must-try if you visit. The drinks were good, but I found the margaritas to be a bit too strong with a hefty pour of tequila.However, the experience was marred by a few issues. First and foremost, the wait time was frustrating. We were told it would be a 45-minute wait for a table for two, but it ended up being 70 minutes. I had to check on our spot twice, and only then did the hostess realize they could seat us ASAP. This mismanagement of wait times is a significant reason I'm giving them 3 stars.Another issue was the service. It felt lackluster overall. Our water bottle was never replaced once it was empty, which is a basic expectation for any dining experience. Additionally, the brisket was not cooked evenly. While two out of three pieces were pull-apart perfect, the third piece required a fork to cut, which was disappointing.In conclusion, Hideaway has the potential to become a favorite spot in Pacific Beach with its delicious food and unique atmosphere. However, the long wait, inconsistent service, and unevenly cooked brisket are areas that need improvement. Despite these issues, it's worth trying out--you may have a different experience.

I was so excited to visit Hideaway for happy hour with the girls. We couldn't decide on what to order, so we got a ton of apps to share. My favorites were the crispy cauliflower and the soft pretzel (presentation on point!). The service was top notch, and we never had an empty margarita glass. The happy hour deals were awesome too on both food and drinks. The ambiance was so cute, homey, and made me feel so comfortable. This spot is a must visit if you are in Pacific Beach!

Came with my friends for drinks... Ellie was our server and she was so sweet and friendly! Best service I've had in a while!

Great service!! Courtney was out server and she was so sweet and gave us a great first experience at hideaway!
