There is a parking lot for it. For appetizers we had fish bites(comes with maybe 12ish) and bacon wrapped scallops(comes with 3). I had pecan crusted mahi mahi and raspberry cake for dessert. We went on Tuesday around 4:30pm. The food was cooked so delicately!! The bacon was as good and the scallops were too, but together I feel the bacon overpowered the scallops a bit. The bites were moist and lightly breaded (not super like fried). The breading had basically no seasoning tho, so you really relied on the sauce. I could have eaten a whole plate of these Fish was moist and I could actually taste the pecans! Bread tasty too. Gnocchi fresh and mushy/springy at the same time. It was more filling than I expected. The cake was a BIG slice of cake! Sweet and fresh and spongy! Ambience was sooo chill. The boat side had a few quiet boats going in and out and there was lots of seating outside (an upper and lower deck). The restaurant got more busy around 5pm. The music was also very chill and romantic. Service was prompt. We didn't have to wait for our food very long at all.
My husband and I came to southern Maryland for long weekend, and we came here for lunch. We loved the experience here! We sat by the window where there was a beautiful view by the water. The staff here were very welcoming and professional. We loved all the dishes we ordered. The fish of the day was so fresh and tasty. We highly recommend it to anyone who visits the area!
About a 1-1.5: The Island Hideaway is a family-owned and -operated restaurant in Solomon's Island - their menu is pretty extensive, offering various apps, soups, salads, sandwiches, pastas, entrees, and kid options. We stopped by while we were in the area to have a late lunch - we ordered: +the Seafood Cannelloni - stuffed with shrimp, crab, and ricotta in a housemade pasta, baked, and topped with a choice of cabernet marinara or Parm alfredo sauce; you can also do half and half!; this was actually a pretty okay dish, with the sauces being thick and creamy; the best part, however, as the side of garlic bread that was super garlicky and had a nice crisp to it - amazing when dipping in the sauce! The cannelloni itself was okay, but the seafood filling was a bit overcooked, making both the shrimp bits and the crab rubbery +the Crab Cake Dinner - you can choose 1 or 2 5oz crabcakes; served with a choice of 2 sides; we went for the House Salad and the Skinny Fries; the salad that was served had old/wrinkled tomatoes; just couldn't see why a restaurant would serve something like that to its patrons; we were excited for the crabcakes, but they were less than mediocre; the hot sauce that they had was not a good complement at all; fries were not seasoned at all and forgettable Service was fine, and the place is dim-lit and slightly cramped - if you're sitting at one of the tables set in an angular way, you're bound to be constantly bumped into by the passing service staff and patrons. Gravel parking available, as well as street parking. +garlic bread with cabernet marinara & Parm alfredo sauce +avoid the crabcakes +avoid the salads +ample parking
The service was quick and the dining area was nice and clean. My husband and I both ordered the fish tacos, and they were delicious! The fries that came with the tacos were really good, too. The fish on the tacos was flaky and very flavorful. Would come here again!
Excellent seafood and an excellent view. This place is a must-try. The food is excellent, and the service is great. This place is popular, so make a reservation just to make sure you get a table. They do have bar-style seating outside that faces the marina. Parking can also be an issue. The food is excellent. I have been here a few times and have not been disappointed. Look for the specials. Oh if you are tall the ceiling fans are low.
I came here by myself and had a great, filling dinner! Service was great and fast! The outside seating area was very nice with a great view of the water. It was nice to watch the boats and there was a nice breeze. I felt really relaxed and left with a very full tummy! The Seafood Cannelloni was very filling--I was really hungry and ate the entire thing! I even got key lime pie for dessert and it was delicious! I'm from Florida and the key lime pie was one of the best key lime pies that I have ever had! Very fresh and had a real key lime taste--not too sweet but not too sour. Light and had a great graham cracker crust. Overall would recommend!
I would give this place 3.5 stars! Food and service is pretty good, but this is all granted you don't have too many alternatives in the area. We had the crab dip, burger, and ribs. Liked the pretzels that came with the crap dip a lot, the dip itself could've been creamier - felt slightly watery. Burger tasted like a home made burger, bread was soft, patty was juicy. Ribs could've been better - was on the dryer side. Overall though food was definitely above average and if we're in the area, we'd come back again. Not necessarily worth traveling far for though. We sat at the outdoor patio and it had a cute little marina view. We were able to dine with our dog and our server gave him a water bowl too which was sweet. They give you a check in a cute little book!
I really enjoyed my time at the the Island Hideaway! The most enjoyable part of this restaurant is the great view and atmosphere. We sat on the patio with the view of the marina. I would definitely recommend eating outside if you can. I also loved the hollowed out Nancy Drew book that housed the bill. Food wise, we got the crab dip with pretzel sticks which I would highly recommend. I got the mahi mahi tacos as my entree. I did like the mahi mahi in the meal but I think the tortillas were store bought and not homemade. I ended up pulling out and just eating the mahi mahi without the tortilla. The wasabi cucumber sauce on the mahi mahi tacos was great! I got a cucumber margarita that I also felt was just okay. It was a bright yellow color which was surprising to me. I also thought it was a bit too sweet. Our server was very kind and attentive throughout the evening. We never felt rushed or ignored. Really enjoyed this place and would return.
09.01.23 Wife and I came down to have lunch we sat outside at the high top table, it's a little difficult to sit here. The chairs are to tall for the table they need to raise the table or cut the legs of the chairs I don't think they will find a chair the proper height so cutting them seems to be the cheapest option. It was our only option there was a table but it was reserved and the people weren't going to be there for another hour and a half so we couldn't sit at that table, well we finished eating watched a boat backing in a slip show had dessert and the table was still empty. I can understand if it's over an hour and just 2 people that's plenty of time to eat lunch. We started with a salad and for our meal we split a crab cake dinner, came with 2 crab cakes and 2 sides we had the confetti corn they may have called it something different and asparagus. Everything was very good the corn was just ok there were 2 types of corn in it and one just didn't work in it for us, it also had peppers onions and bacon. Being it's corn season some fresh corn cut off the Cobb would have been excellent in this. For dessert we had a wonderful chocolate crunch cake with chocolate mouse and and caramel. An excellent choice if they still have any left. Stop in and give this place a try.

We had a nice lunch at the Island Hideaway on Solomons Island. It was busy in there even for a later lunch. Our server was very friendly and attentive and refilled our drinks often. We split the crab chowder, which was very tasty! And then I had a fried haddock sandwich with a side caesar salad. I really liked my sandwich. It was perfectly battered and fried. My husband had the crab cake sandwich and a side of the scratch corn. The crabcake was good, but the scratch corn was too greasy for our taste. Overall, the food was really good, and the water view is really nice. Great place for a meal! Side note: their cakes looked incredible, but we didn't try them this time. I would definitely consider going back for a slice of cake. read more
We had a wonderful lunch on the patio. We started with the fried green tomatoes (on special that day) which were tasty and not super greasy. I had the other special - ceviche - very fresh and light and well seasoned. My friend had the mini crab balls which were basically mini crab cakes and fries. For my beverage, I had the virgin blueberry lemonade, which is not to be missed!! read more

First time visit while on vacation w family; went here on recommendation from a 'foodie' friend. DID NOT DISAPPOINT! This was an incredible lunch spot on Solomon's (Friday), quiet ambiance, and wonderfully nice staff. The food demands a return trip, is rich and wonderful. Not a member of our party regretted their decisions for meal or dessert. read more
This place is literally as the title describes, it is hidden for sure! Which I like, because it keeps the crowds down like other major establishments experience in the area. I was greeted by a very shaky/nervous hostess, and she sat me by the door at first which I told her was not an ideal location for me. She then gave me a much better seat with a window view of the water, which was great! As far as ambiance, the place has a unique vibe and sits on the water. You can sit either on the inside or outside. It is beautiful! As a person of color, I did notice a lot of people staring at me as I ate. Additionally, when I first walked in the staff looked at me as though they had just seen a ghost. This does not bother/phase me, but it does make my question how comfortable/familiar the patrons/staff are of diverse groups of people. Now, let's get onward to the food and my waitress. My waitress was out of this world!!! She was extremely attentive and made sure that I had everything that I needed! The crab cake sandwich was highly delicious!!! The crab was so creamy and tasty!!! The skinny fries were delicious and nice and seasoned!!! I savored each and every bite and the flavors! Check this place out! It is worth it! read more
We had a quick lunch at Island Hideaway. The setting is beautiful with water views. The decor is a little modern/clubby for an island/maritime setting. The service was pleasant and attentive. My parmesan crusted mahi sandwich was good, though the scratch corn side that the waitress recommended was only mediocre (the corn was chewy and tasteless -definitely not fresh summer corn at its peak). My husband said his salad was just okay- bacon and cranberry with what he said tasted like a bottled dressing. read more

Great staff and atmosphere. All the entrees, , appetizers, drinks & desserts were delicious! Who knew the guys would enjoy the cauliflower bites. Great place to celebrate our 30th anniversary! Too bad the veggie lasagna wasn't available. It's a very time consuming dish to make...and they can only make one batch because of how they prepare it. Their price does not reflect the time spent to make this special entree...to low..especially when they can only make one batch. Forgot to take pics of appetizers & drinks. Ginger pear slush & espresso martini the best! Very nice wine selection. read more

Oh my gosh!!! Where do I begin... this place was outstanding!! Being from Texas, of course I'm in search of a good seafood find!! This place truly nailed it right on the head!! My boyfriend got the "Fish Sandwhich" and I had the "Seafood Cannelloni" with Alfredo!! Absolutely Devine!! We also shared the "Italian Flatbread" to start and WOW!! Between the amazing food, outstanding waitress, and the unbeatable view, this place really made our weekend getaway special. read more

This was one of several great meals we had while here for the weekend. We arrived just before the last available tables were filled (we did call ahead to reserve a table) & chose to sit inside as it was quite warm outside. We still had a good view of the water & our waitress took our drink order quickly. Inside area is small & lively - not intimate, but definitely has that 'hideaway' atmosphere. My Girlfriend ordered the Seafood Cannelloni & I went with Coconut Lemon Chicken. Orders came quickly & both entrees were winners! Very well flavored & nicely prepared. They do have on-site parking, but we had already parked on the street. This was my first visit to the island & I'm glad we did reserve a table beforehand, as it looks like the available restaurants fill up fast at dinnertime. I would definitely eat here again... read more

Food is good, selection is fairly established with some specials with drinks, appetizers and entrees that allow you to try different things on each visit. The service is good and they are always pleasant helpful and welcoming. They don't take reservations but will put you on a waitlist. They're by the water/ docks and there's indoor and outdoor dining. But on the weekends they are usually pretty packed and people do get loud. read more
This is literally an Island Hideaway. You'd easily miss it if you weren't looking for it! Hint: it's across from the Pier. I had an amazing experience here with my family. We were immediately seated on a Saturday evening. It seems as though the inside has a wait which is shocking b/c the outside dining has great views. I ordered a Mahi-Mahi sandwich with fries. It had great flavor and the Mahi-Mahi tasted fresh. The rest of my family enjoyed their food as well! They have a big parking lot and an overall clean space with friendly staff! I will have to visit again! #YelpMDburbs read more

Three in our party. Two of us had good food, the third had delicious food (linguine w/ shrimp). Drinks were good, there was no wait, and we couldn't have had a better view. We'll be back for that view alone. read more
