From other reviews, I thought this would be quiet and cozy with soft jazz. But it was actually so noisy that my date and I couldn't hold a conversation. No jazz, just pop/rock. Most of the food was tasty and beautifully presented. But the water was served warm with no ice and the fingerling potatoes were bland and useless as a side. They're cute, but had no seasoning and were flavorless. I had the ribeye and it was cooked properly but pretty flavorless as well. There was also no salt and pepper on the tables, so no helping it out. My husband had the scallops. They only give you three, and they were a little strong on the fishy taste. The shrimp appetizer was delicious, but saying that it was served with an Asian slaw was an exaggeration. More like it was a tiny color accent between the three shrimp. The service was very good and we were seated at the time of our reservation. I wouldn't go back for the price and lack of "wow" on the food and atmosphere. read more

Expensive, but amazing. If you're looking for a fancy date night or business dinner, this is the place. The Surf and Turf is delicious!

A fine restaurant themed after the prohibition days, Hideout 125 falls nothing short of FABULOUS. It can be easy to get addicted to this place. Treat yourself to one of Fort Wayne's finest. Moscow Mule and Striped Sea Bass are my Favs. You HAVE to have reservations on the weekend but not through the week. read more

This was our first time at the Hideout. It was an excellent experience,friendly, professional and accommodating. The short rib sliders were amazing. The filet was extremely tender. The ambiance could use a minor adjustment. The lighting was set way to low, which made it difficult for many of the patrons to read the menus. read more

We hv been there 2different times and service and food were wonderful. Steaks tender cook to specifications.tuna perfect,had to request wasabi and soy sauce. Sea bass good very small portion. We will return very pleased with food and service. read more

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary here . The food and drinks were beyond expectation . We will be back for sure . May be our new tradition . read more

My husband and I had such a great experience!!!! The drinks are so unique and so good!! The wedge salad is amazing!! Nicki, our server, was very fun and the owner Panos stopped at our table to make sure everything was to our liking. The cinnamon roll dessert is a must have! We enjoyed every minute of our dining experience. read more

The cream of potato soup was delicious. My husband had the chop salad, he said was excellent. He ordered the rib-eye and said it was fatty. I had the filet, it was good but not the best I've ever had. The service was excellent. We enjoyed the atmosphere. I would have liked additional meatless choices. read more

Had my heart set on the meatballs until the server told us the specials. Ordered the peppercorn crusted prime rib. Everything was delicious, but the best thing on the plate was the sherry au jus. read more

Great restaurant! Very friendly staff! Consistently good food! Sea bass over risotto was excellent (I've had it twice) and my husband loved his steak, as did both our friends. We will definitely make this one of our go-to restaurants. read more

Perfect night. The service was great! The Prime Rib was the best in town! The Risotto was unbelievable with the Sea Bass! Great experience

Great food and great service everytime. Love it here. The steaks are the best in Fort Wayne by far.

First time at Hideout 125. The service was fantastic. The bartender gave my wife and I a quick overview of menu items and drinks. We both opted for the Old Fashioned; it is their number 1 selling cocktail. They barrel aged the drink in small casks behind the bar. They were fantastic, perfectly made and delicious. My wife ordered the Streak Frites, and I went with the Ribeye. Unlike other upscale steak houses in town, their steaks come with soup or salad, and side. We both got the chop salad, which is served with a Ceaser vinegrette, that they make. The portion was fine, but felt a little big for a pre-dinner salad. Everything was fresh and tasty. The steak frites is a NY Strip, sliced, served with seasined fries, and a horseradish aioli. My wife loved the meal, and the aioli was fantastic, and we both would like to make it at home. Steak was cooked perfectly, full of flavor, and tender. The fries are seasoned, and have a distinct citrus flavor; they're good, but they're fries. My ribeye came with small potatos and mushrooms. My meat was so tender, I cut it with my fork; it almost melted in my mouth. The potatos and mushrooms were very good, complimenting the steak well. The only thing I will warn you about is that both steaks were ordered medium, and arrived more medium rare. This is fine for me. When ordering in a restaurant I've not been to, I order medium, but prefer it to be more medium rare. I figure if they deliver a medium, I'm good, but if they come a little under done, thats great. They are under new ownership, and will be making some menu changes. I overheard the bartender say that the kale salad will be removed. They are also adding burboun glazed ribs to their offering. The Old Fashioned is staying, along with their craft beer and keg wine selections. The new owner introduced himself; seemed like a super nice guy, that will keep the standards high. Prices are reasonable for upscale, and we will definitely go back. read more

Hideout 125 - Seafood Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

Service & atmosphere were outstanding; warm welcome and knowledgeable waitress. The aged Manhattan was superb, if not a little pricey ($12). Prime Rib special was exceptional, best I've had in quite some time. NY Strip & Sea Bass were both enjoyed at the table and extremely well-liked. read more

My wife and I have had dinner at Hideout 125 at least a dozen times since they opened. The menu is inconsistent and it is too crowded and loud, but the service was good, so we kept going back. However, in the past year, our dinner experiences there have lost all quality. The staff had potential, but is now unrecognizable. On the most recent visit, our server Natasha was pretentious and rude. She told me I just don't know good beer. She was so busy trying to push me into a heavy beer that I wasn't in the mood for, she forgot my wife's wine refill for over 15 minutes. When we asked if it was still coming, she laughed. When it arrived, it was chardonnay instead of cabernet. My wife drank it anyway. After that, Natasha was just absent. Even though we had been looking forward to dessert and port, we decided to go somewhere else. Six months ago we found it comical when the chef denied the possibility that we had seen 5 different versions of the calamari. Now we have lost our sense of humor and our patience. The only thing impressive about Hideout 125 is their over-inflated ego. When we think of delicious food and personable service, this place does not make the list. read more

Dinner at Hideout 125 was great! Food was fantastic, drinks were awesome. The only tweak I would recommend, was the waiter could have checked on us a little. He never asked about dessert or offered to get another drink... which I would have had both. Loved the Tuna ! My friends had the Sea Bass and it was also really good. I would highly recommend it. read more

Great good. Great service. Very nice bartenders (4pm sat) and over all manager Sherman.

Nice atmosphere, but couldn't really hear the music which would give it more of a speakeasy vibe. The drinks were good, but a little heavy on the pour. We really enjoyed the bartender/mixologist. But despite sitting at the bar rail, there were lots of bottles blocking our view of the drink preparation, so we couldn't see them being made, something we would enjoy at a craft cocktail bar. Appreciated the fresh crab in the crab cakes, but lacked seasoning. Not sure what happened with the calamari app. We may have accidentally received their special calamari instead of the app listed on the menu, but either way we were bummed the batter was not seasoned. Walleye dinner was undercooked and not seasoned, as were the shrimp and grits. I did like the ribeye and it was cooked to temp. The meat was not seasoned, but the salt from the blue cheese crust made up for it. read more

Love the drinks and small plates. I often meet the girls on Tuesday nights for the burger special and Lemon drop martinis. Two thumbs up!

You decide. My wife and I and other couples, dine out, together, often. Our dining experience at Hideout 125 was to be our first. 10 of us were meeting there for dinner prior to attending a holiday party which was close by.. I tried to call Hideout 125 to make dinner reservations, however, they were closed. i got a recording that stated they are closed until 4:30 pm and to make reservations on line.So, I did, 6 days in advance. The reservations were for 10 people @ 7:00 pm. I received an email confirmation but I also requested a verbal confirmation by phone. A voice message was left on my phone from Hideout 125, confirming my reservation for 10 people @ 7:00 pm, with no additional information or questions.. On the evening of the reservation we, as couples, met at Hideout 125 a few minutes before 7:00 pm. We were informed that our tables were not ready and directed to wait in the bar. The bar was very noisy because it was jam packed, with standing room only Strangers would step on your feet because it was shoulder to shoulder, while you were pushed around. I couldn't get the attention of a server so I stood at the bar to order my favorite drink. Finally, after waving my arms I managed to get the attention of 1 of three bartenders. I ordered a "Southern Comfort & 7"......the bartender replied, ."No Southern Comfort", so, I ordered a "Seagram s V.O. & 7"............the bartender replied, ."No Seagram's V.O.". Then the young man behind the bar said "I didn't think they made that stuff anymore ?". I forget what I finally ended up with. Later, I pushed my way through the crowd, a couple of times, to check on our reservations and I was repeatedly informed, "it shouldn't be too much longer". Finally after 45 minutes I was informed our tables were ready. We were all relieved that finally we could get out of the suffocating, hot, noisy, crowded "Hell Hole" bar and dine.Then we were informed our dinner tables were in the bar! After a brief discussion with the young, clueless manager (who was young enough to be my grandson), I choose discretion as the better part of valor. So, we sat, the men wearing suits and tuxedos and the ladies wearing long formal evening gowns. We sat on bar stools jammed around to small bar tables pulled together. Bar tables that were designed for drinks, never designed large enough to accommodate dinner plates and silverware. But then things got worse. Ordering dinner was impossible. We couldn't hear the waiter and he couldn't hear us to answer any questions because of the noise. He couldn't get close enough to most of us to hear better because he was blocked by the noisy, pushy, crowd. Finally we ordered by yelling and holding up the menus and "pointing" at what we wanted. My wife and I and a couple of others ordered the "Diver Scallops" dinner. Later, after enough time had passed that we were looking for our dinners to arrive, the waiter returned and informed us "No Diver Scallops" they were out of Scallops. It would have been prudently, professional if that server had been informed by the kitchen as soon as they were out of scallops. So, I "pointed" to the filet. I also ordered condiments that never came. Later still,our dinners finally arrived. (Now however we're going to have to hurry through our dinners in order to be at the Holiday Party on time) When the dinners were served the servers couldn't get to each guest to serve them their dinner, because of the crowd, so the servers stood at the end of the table, held up a dinner and yelled out what it was and we passed the plates down to the appropriate guest. I like to put a small pat of butter on my filet, so when the butter melts it adds to the flavor of the steak. So, I put a small pat of butter on my filet when it arrived, however the butter just sat there, the steak wasn't hot/ warm enough to melt butter. When I cut my filet open it wasn't "medium" as I ordered, it was well done, dry and cold.I can't tell you about the other diners dinners, I didn't want to ask. It was late, I was hungry and we all just wanted to get out of there so I didn't see any reason to say anything to our overloaded waiter . Previously when I spoke with the manager regarding the seating issue, HE offered to comp. out a round of drinks for us. I didn't ask the others, but as for my wife and I when the bills came my wife and I were charged for every drink. I paid for every drink and dinner and included a 20% tip for our waiter .. None of us had coffee and/or dessert, we ran out of time and we wanted to get out of Hideout 125 ASAP. COMMENT: Both of my grandfathers owned and operated very successful restaurants in the 50's and 60's into the early 70's. Their restaurants were successful because both of my grandfathers were mature, professional, knowledgeable, experienced, conscientious "restaurateurs". My experience was "Hideout 125" is run by a bunch of clueless kids, not ready for prime time. read more

We went to Hideout 125 on a Friday night and will never go back? They were pricey but that didn't matter if the food was great. They had the prime rib that night and my husband and I order it. Mind was the end part and was soooo bloody...never seen one this bloody, but to add to this it was mainly fat, and neither one of us could chew it. My husbands was better except 1/2 of his was fat actually 1/2 of it. They should have never put those cuts on a plate and served them to a customer period! Then the waiter argued with me, instead of taking it back and the manager when was told by the waiter should have offer to get us a different piece or something. The sides were awful...the sad thing is we left hungry and it cost us over $110.00. We do not go out very often and when this happened it spoiled our 1st night out in a long time. Never will I go there again and will not recommend...when others have asked me about it and I told them...they said they were glad I told them and wanted me to right this review. So here it is. BAD food And Bad services read more

My husband surprised me with reservations. We were greeted with a very kind hostess & sat in a booth. She did ask if a booth was ok (it was!), which I thought was great! Upon seating, Chaz, our server, came with water for our glasses & asked for a drink order. We weren't quite ready yet, but he was very cheerful & said he'd give us a minute to look. When he returned, we'd had some questions about a few items on the menu. He was very knowledgeable about everything listed. He also had a lot of great suggestions as far as food went. Chaz was also VERY attentive to our table needs & excellent at keeping our table pre-bussed. I'd give him 10 stars if I could! My husband and I ended up getting the shrimp cocktail and tuna tartare as our appetizers & double lobster tails with herb risotto & grilled asparagus to split. It came with a soup or salad, but we ordered one of each anyways. We also got the recommended wines as well. The shrimp cocktail comes with an amazing cocktail sauce, and the tuna tartare was the best appetizer I think we could've chosen! Our soup and salad came out with a bread board with house made bread & I'm pretty sure the butter was House made, too. The lobster tails come pre-fluffed and shelled they actually do all the hard work for you in the kitchen! That was a plus for me because I never know how to go about getting the meat out of the shell. Everything was perfectly cooked. I'm glad we decided to share because the large plates really are LARGE. Because we split the meal, we had enough room for dessert. And I'm telling you the brownie was AMAZING!! Do yourself the favor & make a reservation. You won't be disappointed. **Be prepared for a sizeable bill-- one that is WELL worth the price for the food & experience!** read more

Great food! Great service! It was a very nice place for our anniversary dinner!

I checked this place with several other fine restaurants reviews last night. We called last minute at 5:00 tonight on Valentine's Day. They had a couple bar seats available. We got lucky when we got there they had 2 seats left. We ordered a couple signature drinks (my husband swears by the Apple drink it tastes like a sour apple jolly rancher--he enjoyed 2 very much:). We had the Vday special NY strip with Crab and lobster Gratin on top and Scallops! We shared it was beautifully plated and delectably enjoyable! Melt in your mouth don't need a knife butter texture crazy good food. Expensive but ooooohhhh so worth it!! It's a must go and enjoy experience!! The staff are impeccable trained and even if not 100% on the "special ingredients of the night" they do say so with grace, honesty, and enthusiasm. This place is priced like Cork and Cleaver but WAAYYY better quality food and experience!! Put it on your calendar!! read more

I have been here multiple times with good results. The ribeye is tender and flavorful, and the blue cheese crumbles on top are slightly browned for a little extra flavor. I am not a big fan of the potatoes underneath. They get pretty soft and soggy from the juices, and there's not that many. But if you like steak, it's a big piece at a nice price. The house burger is delicious, made from ground steak in house. They only serve it on Tuesday I believe, and you better get there early, because they run out often. I have been there multiple times when the burgers are already gone by 7 or 8. I like the chopped salad a lot. I really like that if you order it without a certain ingredient (maybe minus tomatoes) they serve it sort of deconstructed, so you can make it exactly the way you like it. The chicken and waffles have great flavor, but the chicken skin was kind of soggy. Tim and Spencer are great bartenders. They remember people, are friendly and knowledgeable, and are a great attribute to this bar. Panos is one of the owners. He often comes around and talks to customers to make sure everything is going well, and seems to care about customer experience. Brian is the other owner. I see him in there a lot, but he sticks more to people he knows. If you can get in that group, be glad. He really takes pride in his craft, and works hard to put out good food and drinks. read more

I would normally give Hideout 125 a four to four and a half star, however the last few times I've been there the service has been a bit slow the food a little over cooked and the price is high. I love the atmosphere and the drink menu read more

My husband and I went there for the first time for our anniversary. We were very pleased and enjoyed everything we ordered. The waitress explained options and gave suggestions as well. Will go again read more

This place is a gem! The steaks were cooked to perfection and the service was spot-on. Look out St. Elmo's!

First time going and went for my birthday....loved the ambiance of the restaurant! Taylor was our server and he gave us the great history of the place and how it came to be named. He knew all about the menu and ensured we were enjoying our experience! When he offered dessert I declined as we had cake at home, but he wanted us to know I had the choice of a complimentary dessert for my birthday anyway....so who was I to refuse! The bread was great, loved the soup of the day which was a very smooth, creamy potato soup. Filet was well seasoned as was the garlic mashes potatoes and rainbow carrots....cheesecake was also amazing....Taylor was wonderful and we will definitely go back again! read more

Very great service and we loved the atmosphere for a romantic dinner! Lobster tails were a good size and tasted great. Steak was good and sides were all good. Loved the hot fresh bread as well! We will be back! read more

The food was fabulous!!!! And the service was second to none!!! I absolutely love Hideout 125

This was our first visit here and will be going back. The Atmosphere was pleasant and the food very good. We are very happy to have another nice place we can go to. read more

Restaurant was too noisy for the image they were trying to project. The bread crub topping on the mac and cheese was burnt. Our entrees were good but the overall experence was somewhat disappointing. When the reservations were made I verified them and was told since it was my wife's birthday we would get a free desert. It was never offered during the meal. read more

We've been to Hideout 125 on 3 separate occasions. Cocktails are weak. Stick with wine or beer. On our 1st visit my pork chops were over cooked causing them to be tough and dry. On our 2nd visit everything was delicious. My husband had the filet and I had the Amish Chicken. Excellent food and service! On the 3rd visit everything was good except my filet. I ordered it medium towards medium rare. The top of my filet was like shoe leather...I could hardly cut it...and it was RARE on the bottom. Service was good on all 3 visits. We enjoy the atmosphere but question why they can't properly prepare a filet. read more

My husband and I both got the chopped salad. It had a hint of salad dressing on it and not much else. We ordered 2 small plates, the crab cakes and the flatbread. Crab cakes tasted ok, but we're mushy. Flatbread was good. They gave us some bread that was very good. 2 very blah salads, 2 small plates and 4 glasses of wine cost over $90. Pretty ridiculous prices for food that was pretty boring. Doubtful we'll go back. read more

First of all, let me say that the atmosphere and the service were both great. Our waiter couldn't have been better, and we had a large party. The food, however, was a different story. Everyone that had steak at our table, which was probably 7, got the steak overcooked. I had the NY Strip with the rosemary and peppercorn glace de veau, and I would defy anyone to taste any rosemary in that sauce. The steak was very tough and underseasoned as well. Another thing I couldn't understand is if you are going to do a duck fat potato I would think they would be crispy. I guess they might have been crispy at one time, but they are plated in the sauce underneath the ribeye, which made them soggy. The "potato gratin" seemed to be nothing more than par-boiled potato slices that were a little more than al dente. I will say the charcuterie board was nice, and the soups were pretty good, but for the money the entrees left a lot to be desired. read more

Absolutely the best meal I've ever eaten. They cut their own meats every day, so the steak was unbelievably tender. And I loved the prosciutto-wrapped asparagus! But the 3 most important words: barrel-aged cocktails! read more
