Ricardo's Hideaway offers an exceptional dining experience with a superb drink selection that complements delicious food. The staff is friendly and attentive, contributing to a great ambiance. This place combines laid-back island vibes with sophistication, making it perfect for enjoying a fair-priced quality meal and tasty drinks in a pleasant atmosphere. During Christmas, Sippin' Santa is a popular event, and the decorations add a festive touch. While it has a cozy setup with only a few tables, the atmosphere can get loud, especially on busy nights, making conversations a bit challenging. The menu mainly features snacks, with only a couple of entree choices and one dessert, but every dish is spectacular and well-prepared, with highlights like the Corn, Flatbread, and the oxtail. Drinks like Mai Tai, Saturn, and the Sherry banana peanut butter drink are meticulously made and beautifully presented, showing respect for the art of creating a welcoming environment. The bartenders are skilled and fun to talk to about drinks and the craft. Recent reviews highlight the Halloween-themed cocktails, with some guests pleased to find a dedicated gluten-free fryer, allowing them to enjoy fried chicken and Mexican street corn along with specialty cocktails. The service is warm, helpful, and attentive, ensuring guests always have fresh drinks and great service. Others praise the Mai Tai and wings, calling it the best rum bar in Calgary, perfect for a fun night out. Overall, Ricardo's Hideaway is a recommended spot for a great meal and a fun, friendly hangout, ideal for a cocktail on the way to dinner or for a peaceful dining experience. The owners’ impeccable service and lively atmosphere make it a place worth passing by, especially when Halloween makes it come alive.
