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

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

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

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

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 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

I brought the family here for my daughter's 18th birthday celebration. Our table was ready, food was delicious, and drinks were amazing! We tried the margarita pizza, Gorgonzola/pear pizza, smash burger, chicken Parmesan, pomegranate mojito, and the basil old fashion thanks to our great waitress who took care of us on the patio. Food was delicious, good vibe, and great service! Will definitely be back! read more

Fabulous food, fabulous service and an incredible spicy margarita. Didn't want to wait 30 minutes for Tommy Bahamas and was thrilled to eat at The Hideout. Everyone needs to try it. read more

Food was fresh and yummy. Service was average. The only bummer they put us right next to the entrance and the bathroom when I noticed the whole rest of the restaurant had seats. We'll try again another time 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

Our favorite spot in the desert...from food to cocktail to service! Highly recommend..great outside seating

The food was really good although the hideout burger was so tall it was hard to eat. I had to deconstruct it in order to eat it! The patio is really nice although service was a bit slow. I would still go back and eat there again! 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 literally ordered three pizzas for three people yummy and delicious! The drinks perfect! However, the chairs outside were a little tight (not big boy friendly). read more

Made a reservation for 3pm.. 2 days in advance for lunch in the lounge area. Showed up on time and was told they had my reservation but no tables available until 5 or so.. When I questioned them the hostess said "Well what do you want me to do?" Ummm get my table that I reserved without your attitude and snide comments.. Was told I could go to the bar and sit anywhere.. I did and she made me move to a small table.. I mean how rude can you be? Open seating but only where you tell me to sit? Was sat at a super small table in the bar across from the bathroom and had hardly any room for my lunch plate.. Had to eat with my purse on my lap.. Took 20 min to even be acknowledged at the table. Took another 20 to get my cocktail. Waiter just dropped literally dropped the silverware on the table.. Then had to ask for a menu and waited 30 min for my lunch. Hostess is rude and snippy. Waiter was nice but abrupt. I would think if you had a reservation your table was available... Very disappointed in the place. 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Girls lunch today & thought we'd try a place we haven't yet been. What a disappointment! After much deliberation on both the brunch menu & the lunch menu, we both decided on the BLTA. Asked the server what the difference was between the one on the brunch menu ($17) & the $19 lunch menu & we were told that the cheaper one included no side. So we ordered the one that came with a side & we asked for the side salad instead of the fries. The description is written in a very confusing way that appears to only charge you an additional $2 if you order the Caesar salad, but when the bill came, we were charged the additional $2! The BLTA was quite large & was filled with a good amount of bacon but sadly it was all undercooked. The bread was rather soggy from the Aioli sauce & there was a good amount of avocado on it. And the salad was all very limp greens with a balsamic dressing that was horrible. Overall this was a joke for $21! Our bill for 2 sad sandwiches & 2 ice teas came to $56! We will not return! 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

1st time here. We made reservations for dinning room for party of 4 We were seated in booth between the end of the bar and bathroom. When we asked if we could be seated in dinning area we told you would have to make reservations specially for that area. I am 6' tall when seated at booth the table top came to my chest! Our guests ordered a burger and a house salad which came out. We then waited an uncomfortable 5 minutes or more for my wife's chicken and my mussels to be served. Food was just so so and I will probably need chiropractor after sitting at that booth! Never going back. read more

This place is one of my favorites in the desert. The strawberry mule was amazing!! The bacon jam wings were my favorite but the sliders were also great. The outside patio was relaxing. Even the Brussels sprouts were good. I will be back. read more

Amazing drinks and food, everything is made fresh so the complaints on here about food taking a long time is ridiculous. I'd rather have fresh food than fast food! The server was friendly and attentive as well. Wish I lived closer cause I'd be a regular read more

Always an amazing experience here and the hideout, it's my friends and I go to when we're looking to have some fun! The place is absolutely gorgeous and staff always super friendly! The drinks are absolutely to die for! Their Buffalo cauliflower is amazing although better with the blue cheese on the side! Their mussels were absolutely divine! I took the leftover sauce home, tossed it in with some fresh pasta and went to town! Absolutely delicious! 10/10 love this place! read more

Well we wanted to try the Bread Pudding ( which was just ok ) so he had to make new checks .

Couldn't wait to dive into these pancakes! Was looking for breakfast in the area and was pleasantly surprised at the breakfast options at The Fix. Their service was good, I was sat and served all within 15 minutes. The ambiance is outdoor and quaint. I loved the pancakes they were thin and light yet still fluffy and filling. They serve lavazza coffee and espresso drinks, yum! The eggs were nice and fluffy and sausage was good quality. The hash browns were okay not as seasoned or crisp as I like but still not bad. I would come here again to try their dinner specials especially the nights they have live music! read more

Truly a 5-Star Experience from Start to Finish If you're looking for that perfect mix of great food, amazing service, and a welcoming vibe -- The Hideout Kitchen and Bar nails it. We were greeted by Melanie, and right away I knew we were in good hands. She was friendly, professional, and somehow made it feel like we were regulars even though it was our first time. She kept everything flowing smoothly and set the tone for a great night. Darwin, our server, was next-level. You could tell he genuinely cared about the experience. He knew the menu like a pro -- answered every question, gave honest recs (get the short rib if it's available!), and made sure we were taken care of without hovering. Just the kind of service you hope for but rarely get. And I've got to give major credit to Vic, the GM. He was making rounds, checking in with guests, and you could just feel the pride he has in the place. It's rare to see management that hands-on and dialed in. The food? Absolutely lived up to the hype. Everything came out hot, fresh, and beautifully plated. Cocktails were strong but balanced, and the overall vibe of the place made it easy to relax and actually enjoy your night out. I don't normally take the time to leave reviews, but this team deserves it. If you're in the area -- go. You won't be disappointed. read more
