“The Hideaway is a great spot to start or end your evening! The staff are very knowledgeable and will highlight any evening through their cocktail mastery. The Hideaway also sports an extensive whiskey selection that rivals any local watering hole that boasts of their offerings. Ownership ensures all are welcome at all times, and I'm proud to say I'm a loyal Hideaway patron! This is not a place for meals just fyi.“

“I just moved in and am loving the place so far! The size of the apartment and the amenities, both in-unit and in the building, are great in general, and especially compared to the price. Linda the building manager was super helpful during the move-in process, both with answering all of my questions prior to the move-in and then very kindly staying until 7:30 pm on a Friday to help me move in that night.“

“I’ve been going to place for the past 6 years since 2019 and honestly it’s been an amazing place to just wind down and enjoy a good afternoon. Casey & DJ are amazing owners but Amanda Ashton and really all the bartenders have been incredible with their service and have really been a big reason why this place continues to be amazing. The staff behind the scenes have been great and the kitchen staff knocks it out the park too!“

“Was taken there for lunch a couple of weeks ago and loved it. Loved it so much that I booked a luncheon for the VP of our company and guests. New go to for all occasions! Can't wait to try brunch!“

“My husband and I stopped in for the second time and had the BEST shrimp and grits I've ever eaten. He ordered the brisket nachos and we both loved those too! Such a great dinner, we'll definitely be back.“

“I love sitting at the bar. It’s always a good vibe when I go there.“

“Oh, my God, this place is a damn revelation. Amazing food, great portions, phenomenal decor and atmosphere...

Came here after a Notre Dame game, and it's one of the best Mexican restaurants I've been to in the US (I'm from Canada, where authentic Mexican restaurants are less plentiful). The service was only a tad slow-ish because the place was packed to the gills. Not their fault. Also, the tequila old fashioned was an interesting concept that didn't quite stick the landing. The margaritas rocked, though. Best ceviche I've had north of the southern Texas border.

If you're in the area, go.“

“Great local barbecue at a reasonable price!The servers are amazing and definitely made the experience as good as possible.“

“Excellent food & service!!!! We will definitely return!“

“Our department hosted a Give Back Night with Hacienda, and it was a fantastic experience! I coordinated with the management early on to secure a date, and they were prompt and flexible in finding a time that worked best for us. On the day of the event, we reserved a party space and brought a large group—the staff was amazing! Elizabeth, in particular, was outstanding! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Excellent food Excellent service All these people are sweethearts. When this place gets busy, it gets slammed. It’s a great atmosphere overlooking the park“

“Had a blast tonight at Hacienda on Grape Road where dinner came with a side of fun — and it was all FREE! Big shoutout to Hacienda for adding Tues Trivia, Wed Bingo, & Thurs Karaoke through Dec 4, 25.“
