I cannot say enough about just how good this place is. The restaurant has a delicate mood perfect for a date night. Plenty of bar space front and center with great service ( Sergio does an amazing job ). Wrap around patio area perfect for this upcoming season outdoors. I had the pleasure of meeting the general manager ( Vic ) and the assistant manager ( Tanya ) yesterday. The whole staff was friendly, inviting, and made me feel like I was having dinner with family. I usually come in for their meatballs and their muscles on their happy hour and I'm always happy, but this time I tried something a little different. A guest next to me the last time I went recommended the double smash burger so I decided to mix it up a little and see what it was all about. I am not sure if I can even put into words just how delicious this burger was!!!! It might very well be the best burger I have ever had in my life. The fries were perfectly fried and I ate everything on my plate. Afterwords the bartender recommended I try their bread pudding. I've never had a bread pudding before but I can now say without a doubt that I am a fan. This was the perfect meal and exceeded my expectations. I will definitely be back to try more of the menu soon. read more

Food - All food was excellent with good presentation. Wood fired Pizza awesome $21+ Italian chopped Salad was large and fresh. Alaska fish and chips, great fish and fries were crispy crunchy. 3 sliders $18 (short ribs, brisket and chuck) was perfect for me (senior) and best ever in my life. I could only eat 2 since I stole a slice of pizza. So the fish and chips got a slider. Service - above board Ambiance - 2nd floor (escalator or elevator) or park on the upper floor and same level. Upscale Desert Gardens shopping district. Patio dining but not in summer when it is 113 lol.. Inside is high end decor with a casual ambiance. Price - about $20-40 per person read more

Went with a big party and called to make reservations. They were very accommodating and had our table ready and waiting for us when we arrived. Food: excellent....we ended up ordering a bunch of food for the table and sharing small plates. Pizza, fried cauliflower, sliders, fries, calamari, wings, etc., everything was so delicious. We had kids with us whose bellies were full by the end of the evening. Service was great: our waiter had quite the task in serving our large party but he managed everything very well. read more

Had dinner here on a Sunday night, we sat in the bar area at a high top table and listened to the live music. Our server was great, he was also the bartender. The World Cup games were going on and this was a great small place to watch them in. The food was fantastic! Definitely recommended for locals and travelers. read more

Awesome place. TV's at the bar allowing us to watch the Chiefs game. We sat at the bar and shared an amazing pizza and drinks. Pizza was the sweet pizza. Amazing. Good drinks. Excellent service. They even had live music. Can't wait to go back read more

The food was amazing! They really put seasoning and time in their food. I had order the spicy wings which were a little too spicy for my tastebuds. I mentioned it to the waiter and without hesitation they switch for another plate. I asked them to bring me whatever they recommend I they brought me the half chicken with Mac and cheese and mashed potato's. Half chicken was cooked very well and it was juicy! Mac and cheese pulled of how cheesy it was... perfection! Will come again read more

We made reservations the day before and I'm glad we did because it got busy while we were there. We were seated and greeted quickly. I didn't take a picture of the menu because as the other reviews noted, they have definitely seen better days. Started off with the watermelon cocktail. It was very refreshing for such a hot day. We decided to get a variety of appetizers. We ordered the poke nachos, fried artichokes, the meatballs, and the fried buffalo shrimp, all of which were amazing. Everything we had was made to perfection. Service was decent but not very attentive once we had our food. Would have appreciated the server come by to refill waters and check on us at least once or twice. Overall, I would come back because the food was fantastic. read more

I would rate this place a 4.5 out of five stars . To start the location of this place is very nice and the aesthetic inside is very nice . The service was great and we got sat right away which is always a place . The menu had a good amount of options. We got the bruschetta with the burrito for an appetizer but it tasted strange . The balsamic on it was very harsh and the burrata didn't do anything for it . The calamari was pretty good and it had a nice crunch to it . The burger was good however I wish they would have had other options for cheeses . They only had American I believe which is my least forgot cheese and it would have been nice to have cheddar . The salad was really good and fresh the dressing was delicious . So far that I give this place a 4.5 out of 5 . read more

Everything for us was exceptional. It service was on point. From our waitress to the manager. We sat in the patio and in December the weather was perfect 70°. We arrived in time to listen to a mellow guitarist. Lovely. Ok, on to the food. We started out with perfect calamari, I had the wedge salad with curry chicken soup. My mouth is watering just writing about it. My friends enjoyed BLT, with a caesar salad. When in Palm Desert this is a must try restaurant. You'll want to come back again and again. read more

We really enjoy the social/happy hour at The Hideout Kitchen & Bar. We went on 8/17/2026 and had the Poke Nachos and The New Yorker pizza. We always have the Poke Nachos which are fantastic, but wanted to try the pizza. It was great. We ordered it crispy. Had a good crispy undercarriage. Great ice cold beer to boot. Todd R. read more

Beautiful aesthetic with ambient lighting, very cozy not too loud. the calamari was delicious and crispy had a little kick to it Burger look like a Krabby Patty, very thick. my only concern was the bruschetta being too vinegary and having to aftertaste otherwise the service was immaculate and very attentive. read more

We had a wonderful dining experience! The food was amazing. I had the Margherita pizza, which was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. My husband ordered the fish, and he said it was absolutely delicious. To top it all off, the espresso martini was so yummy and the perfect way to end the meal. We will definitely be back the next time we are in town. Totally recommend! read more

This has become a tradition now for us. EVERY time we're in Palm Springs we stop here, it could be day one or last day on our way back home. We absolutely love this restaurant. They have everything for everyone. My most recommended are the Pizza as is comes out fresh warm and crispy. Really Great Pizza. Must try the Sweet & Spicy which has Prosciutto, Pepperoni, Shredded Buffalo Mozzarella, Arugula, with their House-made Pizza Sauce, Drizzled Habanero Bacon Jam. The Smash Burger is really good! (NOT SMASHED BUT REALLY GOOD) The Buffalo Hot Wings are 10 out of 10. You get that Vinegar Kick so if you really like it hot and spicy def try. PRICED OUT PERFECT. Gotta give the owner props for the quality of food and price he keeps, I've been here many times and never disappointed. Thanks Enrique (great Service my Brother) read more

Jesus christ this meal was heavenly. We shared the Classic Pizza and Mandarin Chicken Salad; perfect. I've been trying to diet, and this was so healthy, AND flavorful.

Would definitely come back for more! read more

Absolutely awesome find! We had small plates but nothing is small with these dishes: not small portions, not small flavors, not small satisfaction! Just excellent. Enjoyed the small plates then had the most fantastic bread pudding I've ever had. Alyssa was our waitress and was great! We had the best time and wanted to come back, so much so that we returned to the area and had dinner the same week! This time we had a chicken parm sub and the all American burger. Both absolutely on point! So delicious. Everything from the bread to the chicken was fresh and tasty! The burger had such great flavor with all the different blend of meats & cooked perfectly!! This time we had Damian and he gave fantastic service as well. Once we move, we will be here often. If you want great food, good vibes, with excellent service, choose The Hideout! read more

Definitely an appetizer an drinks spot, but maybe not the best for main courses. Located on the second floor, we were able to park in the attached lot no problem. We had made a reservation ahead of time and were seated inside, really enjoyed the vibe and our waiter was friendly. I had a lovely glass of rosé and my sister enjoyed her drink (they made a mocktail version of the mojito for her). Absolutely loved our apps - truffle fries were great, and my family loved the calamari and poke nachos. Unfortunately none of us were big fans of our main dishes though - seabass was too salty, burgers just okay, and my pomodoro just had no flavor to be honest. We were given our check without be asked if we wanted to dessert which felt a bit odd too. Our takeaway was this was a spot for drinks & appetizers - not main courses. read more

cool spot upstairs in palm desert. lots of variety on the menu from pastas to meat dishes to burgers and pizza. basically a great little casual plus place. had the sweet and spicy pizza and that was tasty and generously sized. service was prompt and attentive without being obtrusive. definitely a great lunch and casual dinner spot. read more

I am always on the lookout for a spot that has a large appetizer list and "refreshed" sounding cocktails & ingredients. The Hideout - kitchen + bar - on El Paseo in Palm Desert hit the mark. I've been eyeing this restaurant since they opened as they look the lease on a cute indoor/outdoor space that I used to frequent often when it was another restaurant. Today I found myself in downtown El Paseo, window shopping (saving my money for cocktails) and decided to finally give this spot a go. I love what they've done with the place, the decor and vibes were very relaxed yet classy. The menu here is the best part. I love any place that has a half of a page of their menu dedicated to appetizers. Even better when they all sound so good it's hard to choose. Lily was working today and I so appreciated her sweetness and willingness to give suggestions on the menu. She sold me on some amazing sounding bites so I went with a cocktail + an appetizer + a main (yolo). If there are fried zuchinni on a menu I am getting them! Their lightly batter tempura zuchinni sticks were addicting and I'll have to get them every time. Being a saucy girl I loved that they came with ranch and a chipotle aioli. Heavenly. Cocktails also lived up to my expectations. I had a beautiful pomegranate mojito which was super refreshing and well balanced, not too sweet, which was perfect for sipping on in this sunny-hot desert weather. If you find yourself on El Paseo shopping and want something reasonably priced but still good vibes, definitely check out The Hideout in Palm Desert. read more

Lovely location nestled in an outdoor promenade / mall. The staff were kind and exceptional. The food was delicious (we had pizza).

We've been hearing about the Hideout on El Paseo for over a year. We took the plunge and went for lunch. Enjoyed our seat at the bar attended by Lolo, super attentive and kept the club soda with lemon flowing! We each had a burger and fries which we totally enjoyed. They were delicious, tender tasty meat and cooked just right with a great portion of hot crunchy fries. What's left in life?! We thought. Okay, it was good lunch, so we went back for happy hour dinner! More tasty goodness, ya think? We ordered off the Happy Hour menu. We enjoyed the homemade meatballs and a cheese pizza. The meatballs were tasty, (with garlic) had a good texture and nice size. The pizza had a nice crunchy crust and was cooked just the way we like it. I'm sure they'll give you which type of doneness you prefer. Two times in one day. Both meals delivered on flavor portion and service. read more

We had just got into town and came across The Hideout. They have garage parking (free). It is located upstairs right at the top of the escalator. There is an outside patio with plenty of seating and there was even live music going on. We requested to sit inside. There is a full bar with seating as well. Despite being short staffed, the service was great! Our food came out pretty quickly and our server always checked on us. We ordered truffle fries, buffalo wings, zucchini fries and a margherita pizza. Everything looked delicious and portions were big! We definitely had leftovers. My personal fave was the zucchini fries but all the food was really good! The zucchini fries were thickly sliced and the batter was crisp and both dipping sauces were good. The truffle fries were full of flavor, the wings were tasty (could've been a little more crispy in my opinion) and the margherita pizza was good. Everything was shareable and we still had leftovers (party of 3) Glad we decided to eat here! read more

Came back for a visit. Still a great hidden gem. The music is great. Same singer singing 70s easy listening tonight. I loved it. We got an excellent table near the singer. Food was excellent. Did not disappoint. I got the grilled chicken breast sandwich (just a little on the drier side but still good), and the others in my party got the lamb burger and the mussels. All were great. The portion sizes are very good too. read more

My wife and I had the chance to eat brunch here due to a guest suggestion from the hotel that we were were staying at for our Spring Break vacay. We were pleasantly greeted and immediately seated. Our waitress was nice. Provided drink suggestions when asked. My wife had a Strawberry Moscow mule and I had a basil margarita with muddled Strawberries and cucumbers (My request) and they accommodated!! Yummmmmmyyy both drinks. Our food was superb. Omggg...I do not normally eat all of my food in one sitting, especially a burger. However, I ate that whole 1/2 lb of short rib brisket and chuck blend gladly lol. It was delicious. Not to mention on a bed of butter lettuce and juicy tomatoes...ohhh.. that soft bun. I enjoyed my WHOLE meal. My wife had the chicken parmesan sandwich. She said it was okay. Oh well.. she should have got the burger lol. The fries were good as well. I gladly reccomend this spot. Ppl were ordering the pizza and poke nachos... all of that looked so tasty too. We will visit again when we return. Lol. read more

The patio was really nice to,sit with mom and puppy. The service was good too for lunch. We loved the pizza crust. It was the best we had in a long time. We liked the Humboldt fog, pear, and arugula pizza topping but next time I will order pepperoni because it's always my Favorite way to have pizza. I really appreciate that you can get a half a salad and it was pretty good with fresh ingredients however, it seemed like something was just a tad off. Maybe it needed more anchovy flavor. We will definitely be back ! read more

It was our first time stopping in here today. We often pass it on the way to Tommy Bahama. I had the Strawberry Mule. It was okay. Too much overpowering mint for my taste. My husband had the Raspberry drink that was tasty. He also had the Smashburger that had a very thick patty which was confusing. Not really a typical Smashburger. The Buffalo Shrimp were okay. I probably wouldn't order them again. The poke nachos were good. I'd definitely get those again. Service was attentive & friendly. Restaurant is nicely decorated but needs to be cleaner. Seats were full of food crumbs & droppings all over. As we were sat right across from the kitchen door, I also observed one of the cooks with gloves on talking on his cell phone. Did he change his gloves before handling food again? I'd probably bet money that he didn't. That needs to be addressed. read more

TLDR: generous portions, nice location! This place is located on the second floor of a bright and airy outdoor mall. We found street parking nearby and took the escalator up to the second floor, where the restaurant was at. I was a part of a group of 8 celebrating a birthday. Even though it was a Saturday, we stumbled upon this place and were seated in a reasonable time. Service was decent throughout. We were hungry, and ordered a variety of things from the menu. I ordered the happy hour poke nachos, and received a pretty good sized plate that I shared. Someone else ordered the regular size, intending for it be a meal, and received a giant rectangular plate that could have easily been shared by our whole party. I also ordered a lamb burger, which was absolutely delicious and pretty hearty. Others ordered smash burgers, which were decent, and several pizzas, including a "children's" pizza that was larger than some personal-sized pizzas I've seen elsewhere. Overall, the prices were fairly reasonable and the portions weren't skimpy. They were also able to accommodate us by bringing the children's food first, so they were able to get a head start and then we were all able to enjoy. I'd come back for the burger and maybe try another pizza! read more

Went to this place for happy hour which they have quite a few items but my wife ended up getting the poke nachos & buffalo shrimp which I tasted both & both were delicious! I ordered the smash burger from the dinner menu & geez this was huge! I usually finish all my food but this time I had to take the rest of the fries home & my wife couldn't even finish the buffalo shrimp because the nachos were soo big! We really enjoyed the food & the service was great! The server was very attentive & kept coming back! The ambience was really nice inside & out! Great place to check out & have some grub! read more

I would say the menu looked impressive in the breadth of choices. We were looking for salads for lunch. We ordered the whiskey smash. It was not bad. Orange pulp was a nice finish. I had the Oriental chicken salad. It was light but filled with flavor. The truffle fries lacked in truffle flavor. And were more Parmesan than truffle. Overall I would try it again. The noise level was fine for conversation. Service was slow but it was also weekend after Christmas. So maybe short staffed. read more

Came here with 6 friends for brunch! A wide variety of brunch, lunch, specials and specialty cocktails. Their bloody Mary's and Michelada's were very tasty, blackberry cocktail refreshing and endless mimosas were great. Meal was excellent, spicy calamari, BLAT, fish and chips crunchy/panko crispy. Two of us got the eggs in purgatory, piping hot from the wood fired oven, tasty marinara sauce but the eggs (yolks) were very overcooked- not runny at all, my only complaint. Server was excellent! read more

We had dinner there on 12/27/25 and had a great time. The food was delicious, and the portions were large enough for the two of us to enjoy splitting everything. We had the avocado fries, the wedge salad and the chicken parmigiana. Our server was so very nice, attentive and professional. We had a hard time deciding whether to sit outside or inside, the ambiance was very nice in both areas. We ended up eating at a high top in the bar. The owner/manager "Vic" came by to visit and ask about our experience. There are certainly many other options on El Paseo, but I would strongly suggest that you give this place a try - you won't be disappointed. read more

Food was fine, kids liked their pasta and meatball. Pizza was ok, hard to find a good margherita in Palm Springs all round. Best salad was actually pretty tasty. Service is slow as shit. Took 30 mins to get a coke and an iced tea. Couldn't get a water refill, just didn't want us there. I don't expect an apology, but not even acknowledgement that service was slow. As you can see from my review history, I never write reviews, but I really couldn't let this one slide. I hope your experience differs from ours. read more

We went for valentine's day and had reservations so we were seated right away. the service was pretty good. the ambiance was nice. the drinks were good and since we ordered the valentine's day special we got a complimentary champagne and rose which was nice. the food was good even though it took quite some time to come out and for the valentine's day dinner special i guess it was suppose to be a surf & turf (which we were charged $149 for) but we only received the turf part which was the steak and the waiter gave us the surf part (the shrimp) to take home bc apparently they forgot to put that with our steak but they sure didn't forget to charge us for it but overall it was a good outing but do i think it was worth $213 not really. read more
