I experienced great customer service at all the Maestros I’ve attended, but this one takes the cake and leaves a superb impression on what customer service felt like when I grew up. My wife and I frequently dine at steak house through the world and continue to put this on our list as number one!

We had an excellent evening at the hideout. Our server Alberto went above and beyond. We got a baby wedge salad that was chopped and we both enjoyed it immensely. I got the pizza with chicken and artichoke hearts and my friend got the broiled chicken with a side of onion rings. Our drinks were very unique and also wonderful. Orange flavored Jameson and I had the chocolate martini. I will definitely be coming back to The Hideout

    Consistently great food and service! I had the salmon and steakhouse salad, and my guests always get the ribeye with shoestring fries and as always, it was fantastic!! Thank you, Melanie, for always being kind and knowing what we want and making sure we get it in a timely manner :) And thank you to both managers who stopped by our table to make sure we had everything we needed.

    Nice little seafood restaurant right in the heart of El Paseo in downtown Palm Desert. Our server, Sam, was outstanding. Drink menu and wine choices were excellent. Love the starters and the mains, my seafood chowder was perfect.
