The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating right by the water, making it a perfect spot for special occasions or casual dining. While some mentioned high prices, most agreed that the quality of food and service justified the cost.
We stayed on Solomon Island MD for a total of four days and this is our favorite restaurant we went to! We had reservations for the Hideaway before coming to the island but the owner of the bed-and-breakfast we were staying at told us how amazing this place was so we really were looking forward even more so to our upcoming dinner reservation. When we were arrived we sat right away and received the best service in the world! The atmosphere was great and they had both indoor and outdoor seating right on the water. The food was our absolute favorite of all the places we ate the food was the best on the entire island! The pasta is all made from scratch right there in the kitchen and all the meat and seafood we were told was local caught / kept. Did I mention how incredible the food was because it truly was one of the best dining experiences we have ever had. If this place was closer to our actual ho,e we would eat there every day because the food is that good!
Lovely waterfront venue. Kind and attentive service - not rushed through your meal (but also not particularly fast). I wish I took a photo of the Crab Dip appetizer as I think we all enjoyed that the most. The crab cakes were acceptable. I’m not a huge fan of mahi-mahi but I wanted to try something different & I liked it. I has a very mild taste, but I liked the sauce that was served with it. My daughter enjoyed the Seafood Cannelloni, and if I go back that is what I would get as I have never had anything like that in another restaurant. It’s a little expensive but not overpriced for good food in a premium waterfront location. They had lovely indoor and outdoor seating and great views of the water.
The homemade pasta is delicious and desirable, the crab dip had too much Old Bay seasoning. Overall a good time with good company. I recommend making reservations as overhearing customers walking away stating wait times of almost two hours on a Saturday evening.
It was our first visit here and the drinks were great, service exceptional and this one dish, the Coconut Lemon Chicken had this to die for sauce and a lemon wheel. We actually sliced the lemon wheel in half just to taste and surprisingly it was SO GOOD even with the rind.
This place has a good vibe and on the water.
What an amazing meal! I saw the Valentines Day specials and had to make a reservation. They did not disappoint! We had almost every dish on the specials menu (minus the branzino) and they were all spot on! The shrimp cocktail was huge, the oysters were fabulous, and the bisque was beyond words. I ordered the lobster thermador, and my husband and oldest son ordered the filet Oscar. They were all spectacular and the portions were perfect. Both filets were cooked perfectly, as was the lobster. The kids meals were also wonderful and well worth the money. The cocktails were tasty and we ended the night with dessert. We ordered the keylime pie and chocolate creme brulee, again, both were phenomenal. We ordered a 2nd keylime pie. The thing that put the experience over the top was the service. The waitress (I don't recall her name but I think she had a batman tattoo on her arm) was great. She was on top of drinks, checked back frequently, and made sure we had everything we needed. All in all, it was a wonderful experience, especially for a local restaurant. Kudos to the chef and staff. We will be back. Keep the specials coming!
