"The food here is outstanding. I’ve had the short ribs, the lobster pasta, and even the Caesar salad—everything was excellent. The Brussels sprouts were easily the best dish I had during restaurant week, and I’ve been here multiple times because the food and drinks never disappoint. That said, the service is consistently terrible. I understand the need to turn tables and stay on schedule, but this goes far beyond efficiency. On more than one visit, the service felt rushed and careless. At one point, while we were still actively eating, our waitress asked if we needed boxes—clearly trying to move us out. I’m not being nitpicky; it’s genuinely that bad. I’ll likely return because the food is that good, but only if you’re willing to tolerate truly poor service. If great food and drinks matter more to you than the dining experience, then this place is worth a visit—but be prepared for disappointing service. Also, they add tip onto your bill so just know that you’re tipping that 20% regardless of how anything turns out."

"Tried this restaurant for the first time during restaurant week. The service was attentive and friendly. We ordered the croquetas which were very good 9/10, followed by the Parisian Gnocchi, which could have been better 7/10, and Spanish octopus which came with potatoes 8/10. The ultimate star of the show was the Tiramisu, which was probably the best tiramisu I've tried anywhere, I would go back for the sake of the tiramisu alone. Great modern/classy atmosphere, great service, great food, ultimately worth checking out if you're in the Fulton market area."

"My fiancé and I had the pleasure of dining in and being served by Nick! We were quickly sat, and our coats were taken to keep them out of the way. Nick was quick and knowledgeable about the menu. We went with many of his recommendations and our favorites were the French Onion bread appetizer and the short rib entree! We also enjoyed the hamachi, sticky ribs, and fried artichokes. Nick started us off with celebratory shots for our engagement and we enjoyed some of the seasonal cocktails like the peppermint espresso martini shortly after. The food was OUTSTANDING and the drinks were hard to top! Nick ended our night with a surprise sparkly dessert. We will absolutely be coming back when we return to Chicago. Thank you so much Nick for the wonderful night!"

"Hide + Seek in Chicago brings that perfect mix of cozy and upscale. The warm wood ceiling, chandeliers, and moody lighting make it feel intimate and stylish the kind of place you want to linger with good company and a glass of wine. ✨ The Food: The pasta was amazing rich, buttery, and full of flavor, easily one of the highlights of the night. The fries were crispy, golden, and seasoned perfectly classic comfort done right. 🍷 The Experience: The service was great attentive and genuinely friendly, adding to the easygoing yet elevated vibe of the evening. It’s a spot that feels thought-out in every detail, from the textures on the walls to the creative lighting overhead. 📍 Hide + Seek Chicago Stylish, warm, and delicious a place that balances ambiance and flavor beautifully."

"Hide + Seek in Chicago strikes a great balance between laid-back and upscale. The ambiance features warm wood tones that make the space feel intimate, perfect for date nights or a girls night out. The food was well-seasoned, beautifully presented, and very enjoyable, though the portions were on the smaller side. I also loved the cocktail selection and how thoughtfully the drinks were made. Our waitress was kind, helpful, and pleasant overall, though not very attentive at times (she didn’t offer to take our coats, which wasn’t a big issue). Overall, I really enjoyed the experience. It’s cute, stylish, and tasty."
