What a nice spot near Park Ave in Rochester! Went for brunch before a show at the auditorium theater. It was easy to make online reservations and they were able to combine my reservation with a friend's so that we could sit together! The interior is very rustic looking, but is kept up nicely. The menu offers a variety of options for everyone! I went with the veggie skillet, which was delicious and fed me for a couple meals. The fresh home fries were crispy and filling! Our waitress was very pleasant and we look forward to coming back again! read more

They hosted a baby shower for my family. Max was very accommodating and made sure our vision became a reality. The food was delicious and most everyone working directly with us the day of the shower went above and beyond! The space was perfect! read more

Cute and cozy place-met my daughter here for a weekday lunch and found it very enjoyable! Nice selection of options on the menu ( my dining companion leans veg) and I had a nice cocktail too. Service on point. Definitely will be a return visit! read more

I think that was the best burger I've had in Rochester. The music, the atmosphere but most of all the overwhelmingly kind service was just what we needed on a fraught & nervous day. This is my second time here, and the food & the drinks were consistently superb. We'll definitely be back. read more

The Hideaway hosted an event for us in their back room and it an amazing experience. Food and service were far beyond what we expected. We were having a hard time booking a different venue for our event so I reached out to Max just in case it fell through. Max responded to my inquiry right away and set up a call to discuss the plans for our event. He offered to hold the room for a couple days while we made our decision, which was unexpected and very much appreciated. Based on that interaction alone, we canceled on the original venue we had been communicating with for months and went with Max and the Hideaway. I wish I had known they did events earlier. They were amazing! They were flexible on the time, let us arrange the tables in the room as needed, were very personable and somehow knew exactly when to come by to get us more food and drinks. Amazing food, amazing service, amazing experience... I'd rate them higher if I could! If you are looking for an event or party venue in Rochester, look no futher read more

Great food, great price. Poutine is awesome Drinks are great too. Service is top notch

We encounter this place walking on a snowy Sunday afternoon in the neighborhood. We wanted Brunch, and that is exactly what we got. Skillet Breakfast with Egg Whites full of Bacon,Sausages,Potatoes,Hollandaise( this added that extra touch). It was delicious. A Vegetable Panini was our other order. Ciabatta roll full of Eggplant, Tomatoes, Roasted Peppers, Mozzarella. Good too. Mimosas to compliment the meal. Cannoli for dessert. The ambiance is rustic, informal, relaxed. Service was attentive. read more

Was pleasantly surprised by the adjustment to use of space. When I walked in regulars at the bar had to get someone to seat us. It was as 5p, so I'm assuming setup was still occurring. (Parking lot is still ridiculously small with the same mammoth pot holes- iykyk). We ordered the Brussels sprouts which were next level with the crushed peanuts. The crispy tofu with miso grits and slaw- tofu incredible, but the grits were a miss and slaw needed more seasoning. Still I would order it again. Finally, The Santorini which was a Greek influenced Flatbread with falafel, olives, feta, and cucumbers- very light and a very great eat. We ordered 6 of the 8 cocktails all were great- nicely made. The Honey Pot was heavy handed on the honey, but you love an abundance of honey this is for you. The staff was welcoming and friendly. Great place to try if you haven't. Perfect size menu with good options for vegan to meat lovers. read more

Space is charming, great service and food was delicious. The middle-aged drunk women celebrating a birthday as if they were in their own home was unsettling but all was better when they left. read more

This is a very chic spot, a sort of hidden gem I'd say. The food could be described as "American", but they had a wide variety of eclectic food options not usually found in your average pub. For non-drinkers, I can highly recommend the mocktail menu! They do a great job! read more

I had reservations on 07/26/25, the space is inviting with a hip feeling, me and my party were excited for the food. The drinks were good, we all ordered the pretty bird and our server was great. The food however wasn't good, I ordered the shrimp and scallop risotto my pallet was ready for a creamy consistency that I unfortunately didn't get. The risotto was stiff and lacked flavor, I would of appreciated a pinch of salt and pepper. The burger was dry and again lacked flavor, you know when your food is cooked with love, this was seemingly rushed. The cauliflower was the star of the show, it was fresh with a meaty texture. We were disappointed with the rest of the meal. read more

Myself and two girlfriends made a reservation here for dinner on Valentine's Day. We had been one other time, about a year ago. It's a cute little spot, low lights and nice dark ambiance with a candle on each table (might be a little dark for people who really like to see their food lol, but that is the trend nowadays). There was no wait to be seated and since it was Vday, they gave us each a complimentary glass of champagne before ordering - nice touch. I had a margarita that was simple and delicious, and my girls enjoyed their drinks as well. I ordered the Grilled Hanger Steak. The chimichurri was a little off to me - it was very parsley/oregano forward and needed to balanced with more acid/salt. But the fries were absolutely amazing, I was literally eating some of my friend's after I finished mine lol. I thought the steak was a bit small for the $33 price point, but it was tasty nonetheless and cooked well. My friend had the Seafood Risotto - I tried it and although the seafood was all cooked nicely, it was a bit under seasoned. After adding salt/pepper it was much a better bite. Pretty much the same critique for the lobster bisque my other friend ordered. Our waitress was great, very personable and provided attentive service throughout our meal. Overall this is a very cute spot with comforting food. Will definitely be back to try some other things on their menu! read more

They canceled my Reservation hours before my Party and I were to go . There was a mix up regarding a private party . So I was left trying to book at the last minute for another location . I was glad they call to let me know but still disappointed . Someone there should have known that they had a private party set up . Because my Reservation was made several days before this . But we will still try at another time . We have not given up on the Hideaway MWJ read more

Looking for something different and stumbled upon the Hideaway last night for dinner.....cute and cozy inside, not as I remembered it years ago. Pleasantly surprised and will definitely try again. Started with the side ceased and side kale salads.... Wow, yummy and rather large for $7. For mains I had the hanger steak and my wife had the scallops. Both dishes were well cooked and seasoned and we left full for sure. Sorry, I always forget photos. read more

This is a great farm to table restaurant located with great food and service. The day we were there for lunch they had just opened and only had one person working (every place is shorthand) doing host and waiting tables. He was busy, but still did a great job. Menu has great options and is reasonably priced. Food came out quick and did not disappoint. read more

We were in Rochester for The Nitrate Picture show and dropped into the hideaway for a quick dinner. As we were perusing the menu we saw some plates of fried fish going by that looked amazing. It was Friday night so fish fry was one of the specials. We were not disappointed - that was a huge and delicious plate of fish. Along with a crafty beer - it was perfect. We wish we had more time to hang out but we had another film to catch so we had to eat and leave. We had warned the waitress that we were on a schedule and she made sure were taken care of quick. Great place. read more

There has been a big change of the menu. I had a "chilled squash soup" which was unbelievable. You should try this. I followed that with the Elk Burger cooked to perfection and with some good fries. My other have tried the vegetable Wellington which was set on squash. The price will chase some away but it is worth the few dollars to enjoy a great meal at a beautiful space Here again.

Love this restaurant Farm to table and done right! You won't be disappointed Worth a try for sure!

The Hideaway has been a COVID staple for me, and I love everything I've gotten! They do great takeout orders (which we know isn't always the case). I love their burgers - I've gotten a few different kinds, but honestly the regular burger is amazing! Also, the to go cocktails are a great addition for my Friday meals. Appreciate this place and love the food! read more

In the words of my friend this place was MMM MMM MMM! I have been to the previous Hogan's hideaway at same location, which was excellent, and was surprised to find out it had changed. The menu is smaller but the food was absolutely delicious and a lot of it was homemade. I went during lunch too which is now open longer compared to the previous location. Unlike other downtown locations, there is parking in the back. Park Leigh is also next door which is a fun place to peek in while you're there. I would definitely check this place out! read more

The Hideaway - BLT with fries. Crispy bacon (not chewy) just the way I like it with yummy mayo on the side. Fries were perfectly crispy! - New American Near Me - Rochester, New York

I have been told that the old Hogan's hideaway was a great hangout spot, but I never had the chance to taste it. This place came to my mind yesterday after finding out from Apogee's that the cake has been sold out. We ordered a buffalo chicken poutine and a gazpacho. The gazpacho is fresh, flavorful and well chilled. The buffalo chicken poutine blew my mind. Being raised eating authentic poutine, I still don't understand why the cheese curds are not well melted with any poutine I have tried in Rochester... until yesterday! The poutine is hot and the cheese is well melted. The fries are crisp till the last one in the bottom of the plate, and the chicken has a delicious char. I am not too fond of poutine that are not made with brown gravy, but this one made me change my mind. This place is cozy and comfortable. Spacious and has a great ambiance. Pay attention to their restroom sign, love it! read more

Great brunch!! Everything is a good choice on the menu!! As well, the drinks were spot on. Definitely worth the trip!!

Concerned with food quality and lack of desire to alter it in the young bartender. Ordered wedge with chicken. Best thing on there was shaved Parmesan. Dry burnt chicken and nothing else other than lettuce and dressing Should have left it...lesson learned! read more

Love coming to The Hideaway! The atmosphere is relaxing, unpretentious and welcoming. A wonderful place to go for business meeting, intimate dinner for 2 or a Friday night out with family. Food is always delicious and the menu is really fun and has something for everone, even our picky grandkids! Don't forget desserts always great!! Service is genreally good. If you are going on a Friday evening or Sunday brunch I would recommend you make reservations it can get really busy and you might have to wait. This is not your average pub for sure!! read more

The Hideaway is a great (relatively new) spot in ROC. Whether I am looking for brunch on a Sunday, some sushi on a Wed/Thurs or just a good lunch/dinner, The Hideaway is my new go-to restaurant. If you walk into The Hideaway expecting to see the old Hogan's, you will be pleasantly surprised. The Hideaway is a welcoming environment with an artistic edge. The staff is always extremely friendly and willing to answer any questions you have about the menu. The outdoor seating in front or on the back patio is perfect for these hot summer days. The Turkey Wrap is a MUST HAVE for lunch with a side of the gazpacho soup (seasonal), very refreshing. They also have a long list of burgers to choose from, I have only tried the California Burger and it was amazing. When I went for dinner I ordered the NY Strip Steak and it was one of the best I've had in ROC!! If you are looking for a heavier meal, the Fried Ravioli with bacon Alfredo is to die for. We started with the Buffalo Chicken Poutine and Seared Tuna as an appetizer, and they were both delicious. You could say I have been very pleased with all of my experiences at The Hideaway. Congrats to the staff on making The Hideaway a successful new spot in town. read more

Got a Fall Harvest Salad and Squash Bisque Soup to to bring back to the office today for lunch, and while the flavors of my salad were ok (albeit too many onions on my salad), I was overall left feeling pretty meh about my meal. In addition to a few sketchy looking pieces of lettuce and a small piece of plastic in my salad, I was disappointed to see the sad state of the bacon. What I was expecting were yummy bits of crunchy cooked bacon, but what I got instead were some cold clumpy chunks of soggy bacon that clearly should have had the fat rendered off a bit more. Also, this could be that they haven't updated their printed menu or I read it wrong, but I was led to believe there was ham on the salad? The soup, while hot and creamy, is bizarrely sweet. Perhaps there are others that would enjoy the flavor of the soup, but I won't be ordering it again. Overall, for the $20 I paid for an ok salad I could have made at home and a sweet bowl of soup, I think I'll be bringing my lunch from home more. read more

I decided to stay for food today and enjoy the last full weekend of Summer 2022! (I usually just get food to go). The drinks flow with refreshing frequency. The Farmer's Breakfast is more than ample(i couldn't finish it haha). The service is great and waitresses are friendly. Great place for the solo excursion or a friends day/night out! Truly recommend giving it a try. read more

I only had a glass of wine but the service was friendly and I liked the renovations. The space up front is much more open and brighter. They retained the darker bar experience in the back. read more

Very good food, nice atmosphere. Enjoyed their smooth Old Fashion. Freshly filled cannoli for desert. Came with 7 and everything was great.

Ok, if you have given this place a try in the past, COME BACK! AMAzing food. I think it is under new management, we met the owner, a young guy working hard. But the waitress said that this is a new menu. The restaurant stresses farm to table which is awesome. I ordered the shrimp and scallops risotto, AMAZING. The wife ordered the ribs, French fries and kale slaw, so delicious. Never thought that the kale slaw would be something delicious, but it was. Great atmosphere, not an extensive menu but a nice variety. Wait staff is friendly and prompt. Casual place. Would definitely come here again. read more

The Hideaway has been one of our go-to restaurants for years. Whether for a date night or friends/family visiting Rochester for the first time, The Hideaway has proven to be a staple in the Rochester community for quality food and a great atmosphere. So when we discovered that the Hideaway had a catering business and worked with Arbor venues, we had to oblige for our wedding. And I will say, they did not disappoint. Max, the owner of the Hideway, took the lead in our planning process. We had many sessions with Max where we went over appetizers, main dishes, and dessert options. We brainstormed about what would work for a wedding of our size (initially close to 300 and then due to COVID was reduced to 175 persons). The options were endless but Max was able to help us narrow down our choices in a way that reflected who we are and what we wanted for our wedding. He was very professional and upfront throughout the entire process. And even when we had to put our initial wedding plans aside due to the pandemic, he regularly checked in on us and made sure that we were not only doing ok and in positive spirits but also that he was 100 percent behind us when we were ready to plan again. His honesty, attention to detail, professionalism and most of all, his delicious food was a highlight of our entire experience with the Hideaway. From our first meeting to our event, we were never disappointed with Max and the Hideaway. Our guests were BLOWN AWAY by the delicious food, the array of options and the speed by which they were served. We were so happy with everything about the Hideaway and we are so glad we chose them as our caterer for the event. We highly recommend Max and his team for any wedding or event (micro or macro) and we are so blessed to continue to have a strong relationship with Max and the Hideaway read more

My husband and I had lunch outdoors here during Park Ave Fest and it was pretty disappointing. I had the Lettuce Wraps Lunch, which was described as: "Build your own wrap, includes bibb lettuce, carrots, cucumber, and tomato with seasonal vegetables, hummus and house sauce. Vegetarian." First of all, the lettuce had dirt on it and it was teared, which made it impossible to use as a "wrap". I have no idea what the "seasonal vegetables" were supposed to be - it was mostly carrots. There was also no "house sauce," just some olive oil on top of the hummus. My husband had the Turkey BLTA Wrap Lunch and said it was "just ok." The service was awful! I understand they were busy due to the festival, but there is no excuse to be waiting well over an hour for a simple lunch to arrive. The server did not bring utensils or napkins until we flagged him down after the food was delivered. We watched him do the same exact thing to the people sitting across from us. He never checked in with us, so I didn't have the opportunity to complain about the food, nor to order more drinks. A bad experience all around. read more

I've never been to any of the variations of the Hogan's hideaway or The hideaway. Overall my experience was a positive one, I only went for appetizers and drink at the bar. Me and My date have Mules with bruschetta and poutine. Poutine was outstanding, my only feedback is the bruschetta was served on a very very soft Italian flat bread that offer zero crisp. read more

I came to The Hideaway for a charity event that they hosted! The bartenders made room behind the bar and allowed representatives from The Make a Wish Foundation and Operation Freedom Ride to bartender with them to raise money for their organizations. Each group had members around the bar talking about their work and what they do for the community. The bar itself is very cozy and welcoming. The bartenders, that actually work there, are polite and friendly. The drinks were all delicious and well made. There is also a section for sitting at a table setting. I would definitely love to come back and try some of their menu items! I saw some but never got a bite, so upsetting! read more

The renovation has upgraded this spot in my opinion. The bar looks very nice and could be a great place for cocktails and their menu has some nice options. I had a chimichanga that was on special and it exceeded my expectations. The side of fries was also delicious. One improvement would be to use just a tad less salt. I hope to come back and order a cocktail next time! read more
