We visited Hide+Seek on a Sunday during their brunch hours. The host was a delight per usual and the place wasn't overly packed. The ambiance is classy and chic with chandeliers and adorable portraits making it the perfect setting for girl brunch. The girls and I decided on their bottomless mimosa brunch menu. You get to pick a main entree and a side aside the 90 min endless mimosa service. Two of us ordered the steak and eggs with a hash brown. I believe there was a bit of an up-charge for this choice ($45) which was worth it in my opinion since the steak was cooked to perfection and offered the right amount of protein. The hash browns were pretty standard and didn't really stand out. For my side I ordered the sausage links which were pretty tasty. I will say I wish they offered more veggie-based sides like a small salad besides fruit, bacon, sausage, eggs your way, and hash browns which were already part of my meal. My friend ordered the burger which she mentioned she enjoyed! Our waitress was very on top of service and would refill our mimosas frequently. Hide+Seek is always a vibe and I will definitely be back to try items from their normal menu during brunch!

A cute spot for an afternoon or evening bite in the heart of West Loop. The patio is gorgeous! Great for sunny fall afternoons! The place turns into a lounge at night with a live DJ on weekends. The bartender Antonio gave stellar customer service, knows his craft. I got their espresso martini and it was perfect, not overly sweet or acidic! Their grilled cheese and tomato bisque is to die for! I will be coming back for seconds. Overall a great 10/10 experience.

Found a great happy hour here everyday 4-6pm! We sat on the patio and its was super cute. The inside had a nice aesthetic as well but we wanted fun in the sun! Their oysters were fire! I personally didn't like the croquetas the meat was chewy inside and bland. I think most appetizers were $6-$10 and drinks like French 75, Ap spritz, old fashioned were $10. We definitely enjoyed ourselves here. Our server was very chill and tatted up, we liked his vibe!

Hide+Seek was pretty good! Came here for dinner on a work trip and had the Parisian Gnocchi ($27) which has lobster in it. The portion size isn't huge but there's a LOT of fat in this so it will make you feel full! I had had a drink beforehand too so I wasn't "starving," and I left pretty comfortably full. I was seated upstairs at the bar (there's an up and a downstairs bar) and the bartender was very nice, they served me pretty quick. I didn't hang about long but there were several couples clearly on dates, and I would say it's a nice spot for that -- not the fanciest, but certainly more upscale than casual. Bathrooms were immaculate too! Of note, I didn't have a car but saw metered parking directly out front and along the whole street there in shopping area. It was VERY packed but there was a lot of turnover so I imagine if you drove you wouldn't have to circle too long before finding a spot.

I brought a friend to celebrate her birthday at HIDE + SEEK for her special dinner. It was perfect. The room is snazzy and stylish. The lighting was glamorous and impressive. The music was perfect. Service was exceptional. Our server was enthusiastic and very helpful. He ensured my friend felt special. We ordered several things to share. We loved it all. The salad was so fresh and everything else was just as tasty. My friend enjoyed THREE desserts they brought out for her. The customized menu was the perfect touch.

Got there a bit early and grabbed a cocktail at the bar while waiting for my friend. The host and bartender were really nice. Cocktail was good. Average prices. Ordered the burger for brunch, felt there was minimal brunch options that didn't feel like lunch food. Everything was decent/ ok. My biggest issue is it was brunch and there was NO coffee. Allegedly the coffee machine is broke? I mean? You can't even get an old school coffee pot to serve coffee? Instead their solution was that I leave brunch and go next door and get coffees from levain bakery. Then I ordered a burger and they didn't have ranch for the fries??? Now they have salads on the menu so the fact they don't have ranch is weird. Overall staff was nice but the food was average and no coffee at weekend brunch was disappointing. I wouldn't go back.

The Fam and I are always looking for new places to indulge one of our favorite food groups, which is brunch with bottomless mimosas. After doing a search on Yelp, I decided we should check out HIDE+SEEK. Ding ding ding! We have a winner folks. We decided to go with the Brunch Party. First let me start off saying that Brunch Party is one plate, one side, and endless mimosas. The entire table participation is required and there is a strict 1.5 hour time limit. That said, Angelique (was our server) was on point during that time period. Our glasses never got pass the half-way mark and a good time was had by all! HIDE+SEEK has a pretty chilled vibe and the décor was cool, a very nice bar area, booths on the east side of the restaurant and tables in the front. I think there was a back area, but can't for sure as I didn't explore as we were seated immediately in our booth. Angelique was very cool. She welcomed us and asked if it was our first time there (it was) and began to explain the menu, focusing on Brunch Party and that everyone at the table had to participate, which we did. For my entrée I got the Short Rib Hash (Sunny side up egg, piquillo pepper, red wine jus, rosemary mornay) and my side was Eggs Your Way (over easy). I got an order of the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes (honey-whipped ricotta, blueberry compote, maple syrup) for the table. Both dishes were very nice. I am a sucker for anything with short rib meat in it and this hit well with me. The pancakes were good, nice and fluffy, and the compote was very good. They weren't as lemony as I have had at other restaurants. The flavor was there, but in a subtle way, almost like an afterthought, but still nice. The pancakes themselves were nice and fluffy, just they way I like them. The Doctor got the cheeseburger and fries, which looked nice. He cleaned his plate so I have to assume it was good. The Queen got the Steak and Eggs. I had a bite of the steak and it was tender and had a nice flavor to it. Overall we had a great time and while it was only an hour and a half, it seemed longer. I will totally come back here again for brunch, but want to check out their happy hour and dinner as well. The menus looks interesting.

Hide + Seek Chicago definitely lived up to the hype for me (is there a hype?) I went on a Wednesday night in late February for the first time, and I was genuinely excited to check it but. We had reservations for 8pm and one thing to note, parking is pretty scarce in that area, so rideshare is honestly your best bet. When we arrived, it was fairly crowded but not overwhelming. The tables were well-spaced, which I appreciated, so it didn't feel like we were on top of each other because the space is relatively small. The ambiance immediately stood out; dim and moody lighting. It set the tone without trying too hard. Our waitress was great and walked us through the menu and made some recommendations. I started with the Warm Welcome Call mocktail, which was refreshing and well-balanced (not too sweet) and he had an Old Fashioned. For food, we ordered the Spanish octopus, branzino, and braised short ribs. Every dish ate (pun intended). The octopus was tender, the branzino was cooked well, and the short ribs were rich and he mentioned it not being too heavy. Between the food, the ambiance, and the service, it was a really well-rounded experience. Definitely a spot I'd go back to when I'm visiting again.

Cheeseburger split with side salad
Bryan W.

This place was fine I guess. The service was nice and the place was well managed. We split a burger and it took much longer than average. Without asking, the manager stepped over to our table to apologize and offer us a drink for the wait. The burger was a good average. Like a 3.5 star. The side salad was forgettable. Basic dressed greens. The service was the real hero of this reviewer. Might be back for cocktails.

MaDonna W.

The vibe and the service we experienced on Thursday night was really good. I really wish that the food had been a little bit better. The Caesar salad salad we ordered for the table, came out completely drenched in dressing. I know they can do better. I had actually ordered the kale salad and it came out as a spinach salad. In a very tiny bowl. Again, we enjoyed the service. It's a busy café, so make a reservation if you wish to go.

Espresso mocktail
Bonnie W.

Burger is juicy, side salad very meh. The lettuce topped with cucumber, croutons were nice spicy flavor, there was not much to it and dressing had no flavor. I would try the fries instead or get an entree salad Service was good overall. 20min after ordering our waitress acknowledged the delay in getting our food out, 5min later a manager offered to comp the dish or provide complimentary drink. I really appreciated that. Ambiance is nice visually but very loud when busy

Sticky Ribs
Toria B.

Such a fantastic restaurant find! They have indoor and outdoor seating. On this particular day, everyone was outside and we opted to sit inside. But the service was still phenomenal and the ambience was relaxed. Chill, with a little romantic vibe if that's what you're looking for if you're on the inside. The Lumache was probably one of the best pasta dishes that I have ever eaten. The noodles were perfection, the cheese, the meat, everything. Please get that when you go with no adjustments! The sticky ribs are very good and I would suggest maybe adding cipiollini onions to them for the salad. We had the pear and kale salad as a starter, highly recommended.

We did a happy hour crawl for my bday ! This is a decent choice there are many options and the space is beautiful! Everyone was all smiles and they even have a small patio area !

Is there a dress code?

It didn't seem like they had any strict dress code. I had dinner and I had a button-down shirt, jeans, and Sperry boat shoes

Do they have cocktail onions?

Is this a good option for a birthday outing on a Saturday night?

Yes but make a reservation in advance!

Is there valet parking and what is the cost?

They don't have Valet. However, right next door is Bar Siena. They have Valet for around $18-$20. To the East about a block: restaurant La Josie will valet. I believe it's…

All the premier dinners come with salad, cheese, fondue, and the chocolate fondue - You are just choosing what protein you would like. The Prince Geja combination has a little bit of everything. However, we most liked the seafood which includes lobster and the scallops were to die for! Also the beef also cooks well. Favorite dipping sauce included the pimento mayo, chimichurri, and garlic butter. The cheese fondue is quite rich and the bread is quite filling so maybe get as much cheese as you can on each piece of bread. The chocolate fondue, I think is actually the best course as the Belgium chocolate melts so well and has a decadent but not overly sweet flavor. It pairs well with all that is provided for dipping, which includes poundcake, rice Krispies, strawberries. They also have some liquor that they light on fire at first so you can roast the marshmallows. It is such a well thought out experience. Service flows very well from two waiters who take your order set up your fondue pots for each course, but be prepared to spend at least 2 hours on this experience. Check out the Groupon but also I read a review that they just tack on the extra $50 so it's not really too much of a savings. Not sure if this is true.

Also appreciated that they were accommodating for the vegetarian in our party. Everything except the cheese course can be made vegan friendly as well. The service was top notch! Appreciated that they called me ahead of time to confirm our reservation and ask about food allergies. All the staff was incredibly helpful and attentive. They were quick to refill items and answer any questions we had. The location is classic fondue restaurant, cozy and romantic. However, also perfect for catching up with a friend.

Back Again - Gemini Pt 2, but this time for brunch!…read more I enjoyed my first dinner experience here so much last week that we had to come right back to try their weekend brunch. From the start, the hostesses were inviting and lovely. The restaurant is very pretty, warmly blending a modern style with a touch of classic French bistro elegance. I'm mostly so impressed with how versatile the restaurant actually can be, shifting seamlessly from an elegant, upscale dinner setting with its beautiful U-shaped marble bar to a bright, whimsical, and enchantingly airy brunch setting. The fully opened bifold windows are adjacent to the pergola-topped patio, letting a glorious, cascading breeze drift through the space to create a wonderful indoor-outdoor flow and a lively weekend energy. Once again, we thoroughly enjoyed everything we ordered: Super Green Vegetable Salad: The kale, broccoli, avocado, asparagus, and peas were crisp and fresh. We loved this so much during our first dinner visit last week that we had to order it again for brunch! Spectacular! Nova Lox Platter: The wild salmon topped with diced red onion, capers, and hard-boiled egg crumble, served with an everything bagel and a side of chive cream cheese, was excellent. French Onion Frittata: The rich gruyère and caramelized onions were wonderful. If you're a French onion soup lover like me, this is a can't-miss!! Definitely will be reordered and often. Fantastic! Daily Omelette: Ordered from the special menu, featuring black truffle salsa, mascarpone, and Calabrian chile honey. It was absolutely phenomenal, perfectly cooked, and the flavor combination was incredible. Our server, Sarah, was excellent and made the experience even better - we even share the same name! The management team was also incredibly warm and attentive, stopping by our table to welcome us back. Returning twice in one week says it all. This restaurant has made it into my regular rotation and is hands down one of my new favorites!

Not too shabby. I…read morelike this place for an impromptu early dinner. I've been twice and always sit outside in the patio area. The restaurant itself is pretty as is the outdoor dining area if aesthetics are important to you. Service is also great. Food wise...good portions overall. However, all I want is a little bit more: a little more butter for the delicious bread, a little more time in the oven for the Brussel sprouts to soften them up, and a little more cream to accompany the carrots. Also, a few more croutons in the Caesar salad! All that being said, the steak was well seasoned and who can ever object to a tasty side of fries? Dining here, you're getting a healthier experience as opposed to heavy seasoning, butter, sauce, etc, but it's good overall.

That is to say: I am not throwing words of praise like "one of a kind" and "phenomenal" around lightly. Both are different and still amazing. Sparrow has a vibe straight out of the 1920s. The decor, signage, use of color, and absence of screens or TV's all contribute to the theme. The music is also appropriate and plays at the perfect volume to be pleasant without forcing one to raise their voice. I tried the Green Daisy and a House Old Fashioned. The Green Daisy was boozy and had some herbaceous notes. A little tartness and a little sweetness helped balance the drink out and make for a phenomenal sipper. I loved the creativity with this one! The House Old Fashioned was also well done, assembled with quality ingredients in balance with one another. Nothing wrong with a well-executed classic. The prices are more or less reasonable considering the location and overall market, with bevies costing around $16. The bar staff is excellent! Very friendly and welcoming! Final verdict: A spot where I can say come for the drinks and stay for the vibe. It's the kind of place where walking in you are transported a century into the past. Everything about the experience, including the atmosphere, drinks, service, and prices, is calling me to return and bring some people with me.
