I'm honestly disappointed to be writing this review. This place was hyped up by a lot of people but really missed the mark for me. My husband and I were in Sedona for the weekend and found Hideaway House highly rated on Yelp, so we decided to dine-in for dinner.
Our server, Cat, was friendly, but too busy. I'm not sure if they were short-staffed or if this is normal for them. We sat awkwardly for about 20 minutes after finishing our dessert before we could get the check.
They have a pretty expansive menu, catering to a lot of different tastes. The restaurant considers itself Italian, but I highly disagree. Definitely American with a hint of Italian foods sprinkled throughout. I ordered the "filet mignon skewers," which per the menu "Two filet skewers cooked to medium, garlic mashed potato's w/ sautéed vegetables and homemade Au Jus." This meal was abysmal. The "filet" was most certainly a cheap cut of meat, as I couldn't stop chewing, and only about half of the pieces were edible. It also came drenched in a green sauce, which I believe was chimichurri based on the taste. The green color was extremely off-putting, as that was not listed on the menu. The steak was also incredibly overcooked, definitely well-done. Now, onto the potatoes...they were LEMON FLAVORED. I was so hype to have garlic mashed potatoes with my steak and was shocked at their taste. I even gave some to my husband to double check. I asked our server what kind of potatoes they were, she confirmed they were supposed to be garlic, so I informed her they were lemon flavored. She said she'd let the kitchen know but never followed up. The vegetables on the plate were the star of the show tbh. They were cooked perfectly and with fresh garlic!! I loved them and ate every single piece. My husband ordered the chicken parm and liked it. I am not a fan of chicken parm so did not taste it. For dessert, my husband ordered the peach and pecan cobbler, which is cooked to order. This also missed the mark for me. It tasted really sweet, and the peach flavor was completely overshadowed by the pecans. We went to McDonalds after because I was still hungry.
I would possibly consider returning to try the pizza, but I would never order another entree here.
