HIDE+SEEK — neighborhood american in West Loop. Always packed, always worth it. Cocktail menu runs deeper than expected, and open late. "The Grilled oyster was our favorite starter it was fresh and perfectly grilled with a nice hit of spice" — Rafael G

“Along with my perfect margarita called “Safe Word” Dinner was delicious”
Food is so mid can’t even begin. Over sauced, bland just not good.
I recently dined at “Hide & Seek” and had a mixed experience.
I have never been treated so poorly by a restaurant as my group was at Hide + Seek last night.

“Tried this restaurant for the first time during restaurant week.”
Tried this restaurant for the first time during restaurant week. The service was attentive and friendly. We ordered the croquetas which were very good 9/10, followed by the Parisian Gnocchi, which could have been better 7/10, and Spanish octopus which came with potatoes 8/10. The ultimate star of the show was the Tiramisu, which was probably the best tiramisu I've tried anywhere, I would go back for the sake of the tiramisu alone. Great modern/classy atmosphere, great service, great food, ultimately worth checking out if you're in the Fulton market area.

“We had such a great experience at Hide + Seek.”
We had such a great experience at Hide + Seek! The oysters were incredible—fresh and perfectly prepared—and the Safe Word cocktail was hands down one of the best drinks I’ve had in a long time. Marykate, the manager, came by to check on us and truly elevated the experience. They were so accommodating, attentive, and genuinely made us feel taken care of. You can really tell when a place is run by someone who cares. Can’t wait to come back!

“Happy Hour Anyone?!?.”
Happy Hour Anyone?!?! This place was great ☺️ Happy hour is everyday from 4-6, and the food and drinks DID NOT disappoint! We dined in on a Saturday, and I would suggest arriving early because parking is tight in west loop, so ride share might be your best bet. But back to the review, our server Angela was amazing. She recommended all of our bites, and even suggested drink options. If you’re looking for a new summer cocktail, please order a French 75 and a French Kiss 😮💨 I had two of each and they were perfect! For food, we recommend the Rockefeller Oysters, Shrimp Scampi Screwers, Hamburger, French Fries and Beef Screwers. The Rockefeller Oysters, Shrimp Scampi Screwers and Burgers were seasoned to perfection as well. I will definitely be a returning customer. Returning Customer❤️ Me and my spouse visited one of our favorite places in Chicago for Happy Hour, and we were greeted and hosted by our same waitress Angela! She was awesome once again! We dined in and celebrated our 10 year anniversary, and she and the team made our night extra special by giving us a dessert with a card to congratulate us on our milestone. This place is always a great vibe, and I look forward to returning for many date nights ❤️

“My fiancé and I had the pleasure of dining in and being served by Nick.”
My fiancé and I had the pleasure of dining in and being served by Nick! We were quickly sat, and our coats were taken to keep them out of the way. Nick was quick and knowledgeable about the menu. We went with many of his recommendations and our favorites were the French Onion bread appetizer and the short rib entree! We also enjoyed the hamachi, sticky ribs, and fried artichokes. Nick started us off with celebratory shots for our engagement and we enjoyed some of the seasonal cocktails like the peppermint espresso martini shortly after. The food was OUTSTANDING and the drinks were hard to top! Nick ended our night with a surprise sparkly dessert. We will absolutely be coming back when we return to Chicago. Thank you so much Nick for the wonderful night!

“Kudos to Kyle and Grqce for such amazing service.”
Kudos to Kyle and Grqce for such amazing service. They turned our corporate holiday into more than just a holiday photo opp, but a memory. Everything was completed with such service and speed that we really felt special. Kyle even made me a bespoke cocktail I continued to order the entire night. I fully recommend them for any event you might be considering!!

“Great food with a really nice atmosphere and music.”
Great food with a really nice atmosphere and music. The staff was very attentive and welcoming. The steak was absolutely amazing, and the sauce was outstanding. The cookies for dessert were a real hit — soft, rich, and delicious. Would definitely come back when I am in Chicago!

“Such a beautiful place.”
Such a beautiful place. Hide & Seek was an incredible place. Very intimate, Candle lit tables, dim lighting with the beautiful art that covered the entire walls. Very classy. Staff were very kind. Was greeted and seated by my waiter Angela. She was very polite and helpful. She made kindly suggestions of her favs and took care of me the entire night with Grace. Menu and drinks were pretty simple. I ordered the Braised short rib with mashed, asparagus and Lumache. Along with my perfect margarita called “Safe Word” Dinner was delicious. The pasta was so creamy and flavorful. My braised rib was so juicy and tender it completely fell apart as I spooned my mashed potatoes! It was freaky delicious! It wasn’t too crowded food was great and the music was definitely a VIBE! I will Indeed be back again! Check em out!

Hide + Seek is easily one of my favorite spots in Chicago. The space is gorgeous and the whole atmosphere feels warm, fun, and elevated—perfect for a cute dinner with the girls or celebrating something special. The food is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Cocktails are thoughtful and seriously delicious. And the service? So kind and attentive without ever feeling over the top. Can’t wait to go back!
