Hideout 125

Food - everything we ordered was tasty (prime rib w/mashed potatoes and asparagus, ses bass w/risotto) both came with a side salad, French onion soup, hideout hash browns crab cakes, dessert trio, bread pudding, carrot cake (the couple next to us had that). The prime rib was a little on the rare side, but when I heat up the leftovers, it'll be perfect. It was tender and juicy, the horseradish sauce was flavorful and the sides were both cooked well. My friend enjoyed her sea bass, but found the risotto to be a little too al dented.Drinks - if you enjoy an old-fashioned, you will NOT be disappointed. There's is aged 2 weeks in vanilla scented barrels. It's absolutely delicious. The prohibition pinch received good reviews as well.Dessert - another home run. The beignet on the trio was the favorite, followed closely by the triple chocolate brownie. If you're a bread pudding person, you won't be disappointed...a little bit more of that delicious sauce and it would have been perfect. The STAR of the dessert menu has go to be the carrot cake! OMG....first of all, it's enough to serve 2-3, maybe 4, people. Second of all, it's an entire bowl of deliciousness...from the ice cream, to the frosting, to the toasted pecans and the light and fluffy cake.Service - we sat at the bar. The bar tenders were great - eey knowledgeable about the menu (food and drinks) and the didn't stop moving thr while time we were there.I don't live in Fort Wayne, but this place will always be on my list. The owner (who we met) is quite personable and the managers (we also met 1 of them) do a great job interacting with their patrons and definitely want to make sure your dining experience is enjoyable

We were visiting the Fort Wayne area to attend the funeral of a family friend on a Saturday. After the funeral we were looking for something to eat. We found Hideout 125 after looking for a great locally owned restaurant on Yelp.When we arrived the hostess shared that immediate seating was available at the bar. But, if we wanted a table there would be a five hour wait. We had other plans so almost walked out of the door as we didn't want to sit at the bar. However, the search for somewhere else didn't seem to be as enticing so we stayed and I'm certainly glad we didn't leave! Walking out of the door would have been such a missed opportunity for a great experience.Once seated at the bar, we immediately observed the bartenders making some amazing cocktails. Our bartender was able to educate us on each one and it was clear, this place was different...in the most amazing way! We sampled the Old Fashioned and it was the most unique and well crafted Old Fashioned that I've ever tasted. Two of my dining companions ordered the old fashioned and I ordered the Prohibition Punch that was both refreshing and delightfully presented with the most visual appeal I've seen in some time.One of the managers, I can't remember his name, was so engaged and made a personal connection with us seeing our Detroit Lions shirts. He also was able to explain a few menu items to us while our bartender was busy and it was such a natural transition of a supportive service environment.We ordered the Hideout Hashbrowns as an appetizer and they were flavorful and a nice start to our dining experience. This was followed by the house salad with cucumbers cut into thin long strips that added to the aesthetic of the salad and the French onion soup which was undoubtedly the best I've ever had. For the entree, I ordered the Chilean Seabass that did not disappoint. The light crisp added to the top of this buttery fish accompanied by the tomato tapenade and balsamic reduction was impeccable. The seabass was served on top of a risotto. The risotto was more al dente than my taste buds prefer but it had a great flavor profile. My dining companions had the prime rib and could not stop raving about it.The manager came over and checked in with us multiple times and noticed that I ate less of the risotto and offered to buy me dessert which was not necessary but certainly appreciated. We also met the owner and he was very pleasant and welcoming and joked with us about being Bears fans when we were wearing our Lions t-shirts. The staff all had a very personable and what seemed to be a high service minded mentality. They were in sync and worked like a well orchestrated team. We all had boxes for our leftovers but could not skip the dessert menu. The dessert menu items seemed interesting with the titles of the items. However, there were no descriptions to warn your tastebuds to the experiences your senses were about to undergo. I ordered the French Toast Bread Pudding served with vanilla ice cream. The portion was generous and dripping with either a bourbon or maple glaze that I could not stop eating even though we were full. My cousin ordered the dessert sampler that was beautifully presented with a chocolate spoon. I tried her beignet as our family is from Louisiana and we don't play about our beignets. The beignet could rival Cafe du Monde it was great! We met some new friends at the restaurant bar and they ordered the Carrot Cake. This carrot cake was like nothing I've seen or experienced. Our new friend shared a taste of it with me and my dining companions. It was served in a round bowl beautifully piled high with a very light cream cheese icing with toasted nuts. Until now I thought no carrot cake could ever out perform J Alexander. Well let me introduce you to Hideout 125.I ordered a basket with the house made oldfashioned to take home that included all of the accompaniments and tools needed to build an Old Fashion at home. The restaurant looks like it will be expanding in the future. Today's space provides a great welcoming experience. I love the mural on the wall when you're walking toward the restrooms.When I was headed to Fort Wayne people kept asking me what's there, well my answer to that question will forever be Hideout 125 and I see some yearly roadtrips in my future to visit again! This place is a true gem.

Amazing place! Cool prohibition vibe, excellent service. First visited for brunch. Our awesome server recommended the mimosa flight (with freshly squeezed juices) which was very tasty and good value. The shrimp and grits were probably the best I've ever had, cheesy and so velvety. And it was a large portion I enjoyed for two days! My boyfriend had the Lobster Benedict and loved it. I also visited for dinner at a corporate event, and it was just as good. Had a delightful filet with asparagus and whipped potatoes. Our clients were equally impressed with the food and service.

Food and service was amazing. I got the crab cakes and cocktail shrimp, on the side I got the Caesar salad. The crab cakes were phenomenal. Again the service 11/10. For lunch I got the fried cat fish with mashed potatoes and mixed steamed vegetables. The fried fish was amazing, again the food was soo good. The restaurant was really clean and again the service was amazing!

I would give this place 100 stars if I could!The service is amazing! I'm a stickler for flawless customer service...Jamie and Michael didn't disappoint and knocked it out of the park! Próximo's WAS my favorite but they're number two now.The food!!!!! OMGoodness!!!The prime rib was the best we've ever had! I've eaten numerous primes ribs across the city/country/ out side the US...perfection!The chicken was so tender and flavorful! If all chicken tasted that good I'd eat it daily!Our drinks were delicious!Salute to this establishment!

I've never had anything bad from here and yes it is my favorite restaurant! I usually sit at the bar which is cozy and inviting. I enjoy occasionally going with others, but when I go by myself I get the opportunity to just take in all of the wonderful flavors of the food and drinks and really enjoy it! The wait staff and bartenders are not only friendly, but kind, attentive, and very accommodating. This is a safe place and they do observe body language. I like when the bartenders give me recommendations on what to eat and sometimes I let them pick my drink! It's like getting a surprise and maybe it's fun for them?! I have tried to remember all of their names, but I'm terrible at remembering names. For brunch on Sunday, I've had the shrimp and grits. It's a bit of a spicy kick, but in good way! It was a large portion and the shrimp are huge! I took some of it home and ate it the next day and it was just as good! Tip: Don't ruin it in the microwave! The chicken and waffles are the best I've ever had! The fluffy waffles paired with the country fried chicken with the spicy garlic chili glaze and cabbage slaw are a match made in heaven! It's amazing how the flavors complement each other so well. The brussel sprouts are delicious!! The lobster rangoon flatbread is so unique and flavorful you will be pleasantly surprised at the burst of favors in your mouth! I prefer it a bit crispy so it's easier to hold when I eat it.Most recently, I had the Mahi Mahi with the black bean falafel (I could be wrong on the description but it was the feature of the day) the flavors complemented each other so well! It will have you asking how did they come up with this?!! It was filling, but it didn't give me that I'm so full I want to go to sleep or my stomach is going to burst feeling. The house salad is not your average house salad. It actually needs a better name!! I'm not a big fan of tomatoes, but I literally eat every tomato when I get this salad. My sweet and beautiful bartender chose a salted caramel martini for me to try today. I'll be honest, I'm not always a fan of salted caramel so I was hesitant, BUT I trust her judgement 100%! It was sweet and sort of creamy like a dessert! It was mixed so well, I literally couldn't taste the alcohol! I wanted another one but decided to be good. For dessert I had the beignets!!! Don't be that person that doesn't have room for dessert! ALWAYS get the beignets! Tip: you get 3 beignets if you can't eat them all, share them with your server or bartender it's like a shot of goodness that makes everyone feel warm and happy inside!! I've previously had the Prohibition punch which is always a winner if you like fruity drinks. I love martinis and I've tried the raspberry hammer, the espresso martini, and the lemon drop all definitely worth a try! If you prefer not to drink try a mocktail. All the flavor minus the alcohol.My goal is to try everything on the menu. I'll keep you posted. Sorry, I always forget to take photos, because I get excited when my food and drink are sitting in front of me.

First time trying Hideout 125. We loved the menu, the service, the whole prohibition vibe.

Everything here is phenomenal. Food, Drinks, Vibe, & the Staff! Can't wait to come back and try out their other menu items!

Service and food was absolutely amazing, the low lighting created amazing ambiance for date night, best date night spot in town.

Incredible ! Great sea bass. Awesome fillet mignon - can't beat the taste of everything. Servers friendly and in sync with customers' needs. We go about 3 times a year and are never disappointed.
