Had a party of 12 people for a dinner. Great hidden gem in the Northern Colorado area. The Service was amazing, the staff is on point - well acquinted with the menu and courteous with the customers.
They went above and beyond with the service and was on time with the orders.
Food was absolutely delicious and wine selection was excellent. I have no compliants! Great parking and atmosphere.
Fantastic customer service, great atmosphere, delicious wine and a melt-in-your-mouth cut of all natural steak? Hell yeah!!!
Here's the play by play:
I made dinner reservations about a week before. The hostess asked if we were celebrating anything (I informed her that we would be celebrating our anniversary).
The friendly hostess greeted us at the door as we walked in and even though we arrived about 15 minutes early, we were seated promptly. She also wished us a happy anniversary. Our water glasses were filled less than a minute after taking a seat and Tim (our server) came by with menus a few moments after.
Tim (who also acknowledged our anniversary) was very attentive and lively! I appreciated his patience while we mulled over the long wine menu and the tempting dinner menu. He does have a very rapid way of speaking and moving but he still took his time at our table and never rushed us. He was also very knowledgeable about the menu and helped us select a good bottle of wine after hearing our wine preferences.
What we ordered:
Appetizer (shared): Roasted Portabella Mushroom (spinach, fire-roasted peppers, pine nuts, fresh Mozzarella cheese and basil pesto)
GF (dinner): 6oz filet minion (medium rare) with truffle butter
Sides: cheddar croquette potatoes and steamed asparagus
Me (dinner): 6oz filet minion (medium) with roasted garlic demi-galce
Sides: wild rice pilaf and sauteed mixed baby vegetables
Dessert (shared): Bailey's dark chocolate pate (generous chunks of semi-melted dark chocolate served with whipped cream, strawberries and garnished with mint)
GF (after dinner drink): Johnny Walker Red on the rocks
Me (after dinner drink): House coffee with cream and sugar
Our meal came with complimentary bread and butter. The bread was soft, crusty and homemade. It had a slight sourdough taste to it (though it was not sourdough). Very light and pleasant. The roasted portabella mushroom was absolutely perfect!! The steak was incredibly tender and cooked perfectly! I also tried a piece of my girlfriend's steak. Both were equally delicious! I also tried a bite of her cheddar croquette potatoes...I am definitely going to order them next time! I did not try her steamed asparagus (I'm not a huge asparagus fan) but she seemed to enjoy it. The sauteed mixed baby vegetables were perfect and lightly seasoned with butter and herbs. They were warm and soft but still had a slight crunch to them (definitely not over or under cooked). The wild rice pilaf balanced my meal nicely.
Since we were celebrating an anniversary, our dessert was on the house and (who I believe to be) the FOH manager served our dessert with a candle in it (a cute touch). The dark chocolate pate was the perfect end to our meal and the house coffee was surprisingly good!
Our bill came to about $190 after tip (remember: this bill included a bottle of wine but our dessert was also free). Some say the Hideaway Steakhouse is overpriced but we think it is priced fairly for the quality of food and service.
In summary, we sat for a good two hours, felt very welcome and never once felt rushed. I thought the atmosphere was a combination of warm and trendy. It is a wonderful place to go for a special occasion or if you just want to treat yourself to a quality meal.
If you go: Request Tim!
