“Our server Mateo was so friendly and attentive. He definitely elevated our experience and made the night way better with his custom drink recommendations and great energy! 10/10 experience - I will be returning!”
“I celebrated my birthday here last week and was very impressed! Gigi was an amazing server and was very personable. The brunch was delicious and the mimosas really were bottomless. The host (I forgot his name) was great too. Highly recommended. You can even get custom menus”
“I am from out of town. Stumbled in here at 5:30 for the happy hour that ended at 6. Little did I know I would meet one of the most knowledgeable bar tenders I’ve had in 15 years. 1/4 through I just gave up and just let him make me drinks. Truly one of the best cocktail experiences I’ve ever had. He gave me 2 book recommendations for cocktails books to read and broadened my horizons. If you come to Hide and Seek check which bar Sam is at. You won’t regret it.”
“Came here for restaurant week! The mood lighting was cute (which is usually the theme in west loop) and everything we tried was 10/10! Our waiter was so accommodating and nice! Definitely will be back! Food + desserts we tried: -Caesar Salad -Ravioli -Braised Short Rib + Cauliflower (is spicy!) -Tiramisu (comes shareable) Drinks we tried: -SAFE WORD -DESPERADO”
“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.”
“Such a great experience. I’m jealous of the locals I would be here daily if i could. Restaurant week Menu is great”
“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?!?! 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! 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. 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!!”
“You've got to check this place out - the people, the food, the atmosphere and the service are unmatched. We had our office holiday party here and everyone loved it. So much that we're going back next year too! Danny, John, Maria, and Nick as well as many others that I apologize for not knowing their names are simply the best. Thank you Hide+Seek for a wonderful memory.”
