The Best Phoenix Restaurants That Are Great for Big Groups | Eater Phoenix

"Situated in a charming bungalow built in the 1930s, Hidden House prides itself on being a gathering place for good conversation, good flavors, and good fun. Groups big and small can have lunch or dinner on the brick-paved patio planted with trees, or go for something more formal in the plush, white tablecloth dining room, where the modern American menu features everything from pork carnitas gorditas to silky duck confit Alfredo and a swanky wagyu burger. A custom-built hangar behind the house is perfect for larger parties or private events." - Nikki Buchanan

Phoenix’s Best Restaurant and Bar Patios for Outdoor Dining | Eater Phoenix

"There’s something so likable about Hidden House, a refurbished 1938 cottage-turned-restaurant situated just beyond the bustle of downtown Chandler. Fronted by a roomy patio laid with pavers and surrounded by trees, the place is big on charm. However, the real tour de force is the small indoor-outdoor bar, which feels like the heart of the restaurant even though half of it sits outside. It’s a great place for people-watching over 43 classic cocktails and happy hour nibbles such as truffle mac and cheese and foie gras mousse. Casual but upscale lunches include gochujang-glazed noodles and duck melt (a sandwich of slow-roasted duck with Gruyere cheese and lemon-herb aioli), while the dinner menu offers those same items and more, including pomegranate-glazed quail and espresso-crusted filet." - McConnell Quinn

From the bottom of our hearts, we want to thank Katia, her incredible staff, and our best friend Monica for giving us the wedding day we always dreamed of. Monica worked side by side with Katia and the team to bring everything together, and the result was beyond anything we could have imagined. We honestly had no idea how well everything would come together—we never would’ve thought Hidden House could exceed our expectations the way it did. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed, and it felt like a dream unfolding before our eyes. The table arrangements were absolutely beautiful, and the team catered to us in every single way. One of the biggest surprises was the live performer singing that evening. At one point, I was “forced” to dance with my husband 😂, and later I was able to share a heartfelt dance with my father—both moments that we will cherish forever. It made us feel like we were truly celebrating not only with our loved ones but also with everyone in the room. The atmosphere was simply magical. The food was incredible (our guests are still raving about it!), but the service and attentiveness of the staff were what truly set the night apart. They anticipated our needs before we even realized them, always moving with genuine kindness and care. Hidden House literally went above and beyond for us. What was meant to be just our reception turned into an unforgettable celebration filled with love, music, laughter, and joy. We will forever be grateful to Monica, Katia, and the Hidden House team for making our wedding day so extraordinary. — With Love, The Bride & Groom 💕

We had a reservation here for our anniversary and it was fantastic. They gave us some champagne to toast. There was live music in the back where they seated us that was just the right volume so we could still talk without having to yell to hear each other. The food was so flavorful and fresh. The service was good (4 stars instead of 5 on service because although I appreciate a server coming to the table to check on us periodically, it was way too frequent, which kept interrupting our conversation). I loved the dining experience here overall though and plan to go back.

Last year we had an incredible experience at Elliot’s Steakhouse—amazing food, top-notch service, and an atmosphere that made the evening special. This year, by chance, we tried The Hidden House and were blown away all over again. We didn’t even realize until midway through the meal that the two restaurants were connected—no surprise given the consistent excellence! The service at The Hidden House was absolutely outstanding, the ambiance was warm and welcoming, and every dish was perfectly prepared and delicious. From start to finish, it was an experience to remember. If you’re looking for consistently fantastic dining, whether at Elliot’s Steakhouse or The Hidden House, you can’t go wrong. We’ll definitely be back!

AMAZING EXPERIENCE. This might officially be the best restaurant in downtown chandler. The cocktails is what really set this place over the top. Handcrafted and perfected! Our waiter KORY was amazing and friendly! He recommend the frog legs but maybe next time 🥶 Highly recommend coming here for an amazing date night!

Decided to try out this restaurant for dinner with the wife. Our server was great and we really enjoyed the drinks and salads they had to offer. Meal choices were great and if you like to drink this is a good spot for wine and mixed beverages. Very satisfied with our visit.

The Hidden House is a gem. The seating areas are quaint. They have a great music selection that's not too loud. The menu is amazing. The entree portions are just right. The oreo mousse dessert is delicious! The staff is friendly and duper accommodating.

I made a reservation to make sure I got a table without a wait. The hostess was very prepared and ready for our arrival. She promptly sat us in the courtyard with misters. Beautiful space and not even remotely loud as the air conditioned spaces. Talking was easy and peaceful being outside. Server were prompt getting drink orders and appetizers. We tried the brussel sprouts and meatballs. Both were absolutly delicious. Our server would check on us but never rushed us, allowed us time to enjoy the space, food, and drinks. We eventually order main dish. We ordered pot pie and brisket ragotini. I think that is what it was called. Either way they were amazing. The pot pie had large pieces of white meat chicken, fresh veggies, and a very luxurious creamy sauce. The brisket was super flavorful, the marinara sauce was sweet in contrast to the saltiness of the brisket and the noodles were cooked perfectly and held the sauce without breaking or falling apart. Sorry I didnt take more images but spending time with my friends takes a higher level of importance than images of dinner. This place is a 10 out of 10 must recommend!

My fiance and I went here for the first time a few weeks ago, shortly after they changed their menu. We asked our server what people liked and she said that chef’s new pork chop is the one to try. We were definitely skeptical, because pork chop, but she was soooo right. We couldn’t believe what pork chop done right could taste like. Great job, chef! We brought my dad there just a few days ago and he agrees. Our server asked if we brought him just so he could try the pork chop - yes. It’s that’s good. Try that pork chop! Maybe just paint some lines in the paved portion of the parking lot to keep people from wasting a bunch of space between cars. It’s kind of frustrating to see all that wasted space when you’re looking for parking, which happened to us both times we were there so far.

So disappointing. I've heard about this place for 5 years and never made it there. My fiancé and are go out two times a week and we are no stranger to expensive restaurants. The food is good and service is fine, but the environment is -- well, I would rather go to Subway. One bathroom -- shared by everyone. Teeny tiny tables that could not fit two water glasses and two wine glasses. Crazy! I could talk to the lady who sat at the next table, but could not hear my fiancé. Limited menu And way way way overpriced. $38 for literally a very small chicken thigh with bones, one carrot, and a potato medallion the size of a quarter. Could have gone to Flemings for same price. Go somewhere else.

Found this place on IG and we loved it! My husband and I came here for our 19th anniversary and had the best time. The filet mignon and sea bass were so good. Cooked perfectly. The butter board is my new favorite appetizer and the Mac and cheese was so flavorful. We also got the boozy peaches cheesecake and it was sooooo good. Our server, Gary, was so friendly and attentive. The outdoor seating was peaceful and romantic. We'll be back!

My dining experience here was delightful. The mood here is very tranquil and very refreshing if you're in need of peace while dining. The staff was friendly and my waiter was super cool. Offering recommendations and descriptions of menu items. I tried the shrimp skewers which was beautifully presented and was very delicious. The andouille sausage was great with the shrimp and gumbo sauce. Very easy to eat and enjoy. I really appreciate the openness of the restaurant. The patio is in the front which I think is really different and cool. Inside dining is not closed off with a wall, but more of a continuation of the outside as you walk though from the patio. The layout is very unique and inviting.

We've been here before and every time we've come it has been great. We were able to get a last minute reservation and were seated immediately when we walked in. This place has a bar and very large front yard with seating, but it was closed to the public for a rehearsal dinner. It looks so pretty at night with string lights. We walked around to the side to enter the restaurant. There's also a small indoor dining room, and then a completely covered back patio which goes right into the back dining room - - they are divided by large roll up doors. There's a stage at the back, and every time we've been here there's been live music. Hubby had to cut the alcohol to prepare for surgery, but I didn't so I had my favorite, and amaretto sour. It was a little different than most amaretto sours in that it tasted a little lemony. I liked it. Like many chef-driven restaurants, the menu here changes often. It was hard to decide, but we ended up with the scallops served with baby potatoes and shrimp, and the steelhead which was served with really delicious rice and a red pepper sauce. Both were absolutely delicious.

Hidden House had me at "BUTTER BOARD." I went there for lunch with two lovely colleagues (shout out to Gretel Y and Bailey L), and we just had to start with the butter board and blistered shishito peppers with a red red pepper jam and served with goat cheese. For lunch, we all opted for their delightfully fresh salads. I had the caesar salad (only $12 for a very large serving) made with romaine lettuce, parm, capers, anchovy croutons, and for a $3 upcharge, I added white anchovies. Delish! The Hidden House offers such a rustic and romantic vibe - think garden party. Just lovely!

I was able to cross not just one, but two things off my list. First, I've had The Hidden House as a "must visit" for sometime now (completed) AND ever since I was 4yrs old I've wanted to try frog legs (completed)!! Fun fact: I saw the Muppet Movie when it came out in 1979 (I was 4). I always thought "Man, the mean guy wants to catch Kermit to eat his legs....he seems really determined if he's following him across the country. Frog legs must taste great. I need to know! " I finally got my confirmation :) I loved the ambience of this place. All the twinkling lights and outside patio seating was super pretty. Seating inside the house was also great. The waiter was very helpful and the service all around was exceptional. Great spot for a date, nice business dinner or any occasion really. Started off with the frog legs, which were great...kinda like a juicy chicken wing. I went with the Duck Confit Mushroom Alfredo, which was good. I'd probably get something else next time. I also got a side of mac & cheese...was a little disappointed in it unfortunately, just not very creamy...I should have gone with the brussel sprouts. Next time though :) On a scale of 1 - 10, I'll hit it again. There were a few other items I want to taste that could push me to consider 5 stars :)

Be careful who runs your front of the house. Showed up here with my family of four and the two young girls turned us away... claimed no walks could be taken due to the over flow from valentines day.. there were a ton of open tables. I counted 7 - tow of which needed to be cleaned just on the patio. Something didn't seem right about that... sure enough, I went on to open table. There were a ton do reservations available this evening... in fact I was easily able to book a 6:45...10 minutes after we showed up and were refused. Booked it just to be sure...yes, I canceled. But man get better training for your staff....

My second time at Hidden House. Had a wonderful time sitting outside on their front patio enjoying all the birds in the big front yard tree. I had a turkey melt with a side salad. Delicious sandwich and the salad was out of this world! I also tried their homemade spicy pepper sauce which was stellar. Great place!

WE LOVE HIDDEN HOUSE!! My husband and I try to stop by at least once every couple of months. We came by a couple weeks ago to get split a few things, then head over to Look Cinema to see a movie. I got the Hurricane cocktail to start (it's a limit of 1, lol) - needless to say we did not make it far into the movie. lol. We got the popcorn shrimp, loaded house salad and the duck confit pasta. It was all SO delicious. If you've never been, or haven't been in a while, get your a** in there, it's so good!

Such a unique little cottage type feel with much history-history of my own family as well! Before becoming a restaurant, this beloved home was the only one on the block salvaged from demolition to make way for new establishments. Before his passing, this home belonged to my grandmothers brother, where as a young girl, it was tradition that my grandparents would take us here on weekends where they would gather together & play poker endlessly. I still remember the smell of freshly made tortillas slathered in butter served to us rolled up in a napkin. Upon entry, although very different, I was hit with memories & instantly taken aback to where I once enjoyed many days of my childhood with my beloved family. This eatery is separated into 3 main sections. The first small dining area-very elegant with a French inspired interior, thru the doors will take you to the center outdoor dining area, then lastly into the large main dining area situated in the back. Plenty of seating & great for parties. We came during lunch, and our sever was very kind & pleasant. The lunch menu I feel is limited, but has an array options for everyone. I ended up getting the lamb Gorditas appetizer as my main, and my mom had the double cheeseburger. We washed it down with the non alcoholic beverages: Saturn & Kiwi Cucumber Collin's. Food: Lamb Gorditas were TINY. Served on a paper thin pita rather than your traditional maseca made Gordita, the meat & chilè offered much more flavor than anticipated. I also ordered a side of fries which were delicious and the ranch & other sauce given with them was amazing! My mom's burger looked juicy & delicious and was generously portioned. Drinks: both were equally delicious and refreshing! I loved the sliver of rolled up cucumber on my drink-it added the perfect touch. Overall, we had a wonderful dining experience and can't wait to try them out for dinner. Being in a place that was hardly recognizable that held so many fond memories with my family, will always have me coming back for more.

The Hidden House is a gem with a beautiful location and ample parking, making it easy to get to. We visited to celebrate Depeka's birthday lunch and had a great time. I ordered the braised lamb gyro, which was delicious--full of flavor and perfectly cooked. Depeka opted for the ciabatta tomato melt, and she enjoyed it as well. We also tried a mocktail version of "The Saturn," which was delightful. The server was friendly and attentive, adding to the overall experience. While I did feel that the prices were on the higher side, we still had a wonderful time. Highly recommend this place to try out their cocktail varieties.

This is the second time I've been here and this place does not miss. From the ambiance to the service, not to mention the food, this place is such a gem in downtown Chandler. I came here with a couple of friends and I got the Lamb Gorditas with the Duck alfredo and it was sooooo good. Every dish I have tried here is packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. Yes it is a little bit on the pricey side, but in my opinion is well worth it. We also got the strawberry shortcake for dessert, which had a nice citrus flavor to it. The cake was a little bit on the dry side, but it was still a good dessert.

Overall had a alright experience at hidden house. I was super excited to try it. Had to flag down server for water, she was sweet, but absent. We sat at the back of the restaurant and they began closing down early, closing doors, clearing tables, and pressuring us to pay and get out. For how expensive it is, I expected higher service but would probably give them a second chance in the future.

What a lovely hidden gem in downtown Chandler! I didn't know this place existed -- my girlfriend found it for our lunch date a few weekends ago. We sat outside on their lovely patio -- lots of trees and greenery and excellent service. I ordered the short rib sandwich and my friend "accidentally" ordered the duck melt. We both LOVED our meals! The short rib was so delicious and tender. My friend didn't realize she ordered duck and loved it too -- it was her first time trying it! This place has an intimate ambiance for a date night. Will come back to try some more amazing food!

Great gem of a place actually hidden in downtown Chandler. Michelin star chef also so you're getting a wonderful experience. We came for an anniversary dinner and they had live music going. It had a nice feel to it. Elevated but casual too. Ordered wine and a had dinner. I ordered the halibut and my gf ordered the pasta. Our servers were attentive and sweet to us. Would recommend this place for a celebration dinner or a night you wanted to just eat well and feel relaxed.

Yelp

Great restaurant by the owners of Brickyard. My husband and I ordered the shrimp appetizer and short rib entree. We liked the shrimp, but it was a little salty and heavier than I thought it would be. I wish there was some greens to brighten up the dish more. The short rib entree was delicious. We would definitely come back here for this dish! The meat was perfectly tender. The sauce was the star of the show. It was rich in flavor with some spice from the guajillo peppers. The grits balanced it out and were nice and creamy. There was fresh cilantro as a garnish. I wish there was some more cilantro because it created a fresh element to the dish. It is a cute restaurant tucked away with lots of outdoor seating options. We sat in the back where there's a covered patio. It had a relaxing setting and there was even live music in the next room over. It was really nice because they have garage doors that open into the next seating area, so we could hear the music perfectly. If you want a romantic dinner in DT Chandler, this is a great spot to go to.

Yelp

Food is outstanding ... seasonal menu, everything was amazing. We tried the kimchi glazed shisito peppers and the sweet potato coins with cotija and goat cheese as appies. Then 2 salmon entrees, the paella and the short ribs. Kudos from everyone in the party. I heard a few "best dish I've had in a very long time", including coming from me. Excellent wine list. Would like to see a Coravin menu for by-the-glass of some of the more expensive wines. Inventive cocktail menu. Location is casual and relaxed. We dined on the back patio which was cool and equipped with misters (that unfortunately dripped all over one of our guests after they were turned off) ... we just slid chairs around! It's really a beautiful spot to sit out back or in the front yard. Would recommend Al fresco dining here. We were seated right at our reservation time ... def recommend reservations! The service was good, not inspired great. We all thought that while it was good/adequate, it didn't live up to the brilliance of the food. There wasn't much personalization of the service, just okay vanilla. Maybe this more casual, low key vibe is what they are going for. With tip and drinks and entrees about $100 pp. The food makes it worth it inmho. Private lot next to restaurant holds about 30 cars. Else on-the-street parking within a couple blocks. I musta missed it but didn't see and handicap parking signs in the private lot. Fortunately there was a space in there when I arrived. A solid star in the Chandler/Gilbert area. Would go back in a flash

I stopped by earlier today for a late lunch with friends and really enjoyed our visit today! It is truly hidden, but it's very intimate and a great space! We came in during happy hour, so they had a small menu available, which was great for our group. We had really great service, and I think our server's name was Matthew; he was very nice and attentive. We ordered: Butter board - very good and nothing too over the top. The bread came on another plate and was grilled. There was a spicy cheese spread, dollops of butter and honey placed all over, and a side of jam. Braised Lamb tacos - my friend really liked her order and liked the curry flavor. Good balance! Double Burger - my husband enjoyed his burger, it was satisfying, and the fried were cooked perfectly. We hope to visit again for dinner service!

Stumbled upon this place when I was looking for lunch with a good ambiance on my birthday! The restaurant is nice and tucked in for a usually busy area with decent service and a private parking lot. I ordered the pricey ciabatta tomato melt which tasted ok and a Saturn mocktail which was refreshing. There weren't too many options for a vegetarian which is why I didn't give a 5 star review. Overall I might look for other options as the food is too basic for the price.

This place is amazing! The boyfriend and I decided to come here to celebrate some life achievements and this was perfect. Great ambiance. Amazing food. Excellent cocktails and cocktail menu. We even got to watch some live music which was icing on an already perfect cake. The customer service and recommendations were spot on! The Brussel sprouts are a must and I had the braised short ribs! My boyfriend had the duck Alfredo. Definitely check it out!

This place is truly a gem!! We had the butter board, OH MY, MY!! Absolutely, amazing!! My friend and I split two dishes, scallops and the pork chop. They both were delicious but the pork chop was out of this world. The entire ambience of this place is so very magical and the service is second to none. I highly, highly recommend!

The Hidden House is a hidden gem! Tucked in downtown Chandler, The Hidden House is housed in a 1939 cottage that was once a residential home. They pride themselves in their chef crafted menus and craft cocktails. Their menu offers dishes with Italian, Spanish, and Asian influences as well as contemporary American staples. Hubs and I have heard nothing but wonderful things about The Hidden House so we were very excited to score a last minute late lunch reservation on a Sunday. We arrived a few minutes early and were greeted and seated right away. They brought us towards the back of the restaurant in their "Hidden Hanger," which was a neat space. We started with cocktails; an espresso martini and mint julep. Both were excellent, which is no surprise since they have award-winning mixologists! The menu changes seasonally, so I unfortunately don't remember the names of the dishes we ordered back in August. We ordered an app, a salad, a soup, a squid entree, and dessert. Everything was fresh and delicious from start to finish! I would order everything again. The service was on point. They pay great attention to detail and we loved the entire experience!

Cute spot tucked in downtown Chandler. It was too chilly to sit on the patio so I will definitely be back. Very elevated and intimate feeling. The servers were great and offered a lot of suggestions. The cocktail menu is cool and all the drinks are based in decades. The butter board was an incredible mix of cheeses, jam, and butter;fire. I got the seafood paella and enjoyed the orzo! Will definitely be revisiting for a girls night or date night.

Found this place on Yelp and decided to give it a try. It had high reviews, so why not. We sat outside because it was a beautiful day. These little restaurants in downtown Chandler are high on the ambiance scale, but that's about it. The menu is literally one page. I wish they had a little more selection. I would've like to have ordered a grilled chicken sandwich, but all they had was fried. Hubby got the duck sandwich. Both served with fries and very, very greasy. Service was slow, food average, and we had no table settings even after we were served. If you just go for a drink it's probably nice, but I wouldn't recommend the food. Also, if you aren't fond of bees, you're going to want to sit inside. I think there is a lot of potential here, but right now the ambiance isn't enough to bring me back.

There are no vegetarian entrees! If you are proud enough to list your chefs name, can't he not provide one entree on the menu that is vegetarian. I know a lot of chefs think it's beneath them to cook vegetarian entrees. My friends had great food but I was given the duck confit without the duck. On top of that, I was charged full price for basically pasta Alfredo. The food however was good but it takes a lot of hubris to offer no real vegetarian entrees and then charge full price of the meat entree. Perhaps that's the point? When I asked if he the chef could simply make the lunch tomato melt sandwich that they offer, I was told they don't have the ingredients at dinner time. They don't have tomatoes, bread and cheese in a restaurant? The service however was great just wish they offered more variety.

I was on my way to a restaurant for a quiet dinner when my eye caught the entrance of the Hidden House. It's like walking into someone's well maintained front garden. The hostess welcomed me with a big smile and even though I had no reservation, she found me a table. Love the vibe. The waitress was friendly and very accommodating. Ordered an old fashion and appetizers ( fried frog legs, shrimp skewers & a trio of pork belly, lamb and shrimp tacos) As desert I ordered the cannoli cones. All was very tasteful! I would definitely come back and try their main courses.

Incredible food, service and atmosphere can all be found at The Hidden House! This was our first time back in a couple of years, but as expected, we had an incredible evening! The servers are always very attentive, knowledgeable and helpful! Zach was our server last night and was awesome!! We got the creamy bacon soup (not pictured) and house salad (not pictured) to start. Followed by the duck confit pasta - my gosh this was amazing! A bit heavy but yummmmmy - and the filet mignon - wowza! The potato cheese croquette was the perfect pairing and a unique side. I'd highly recommend this place to anyone - and specifically a great spot for celebrations, business dinners, date nights, etc. We celebrated our wedding anniversary last night and will definitely return again!

Service was top notch! Gary was our waiter and he was phenomenal! Very attentive and well versed in the menu. The atmosphere was nice, Cozy and intimate. We went with another couple and it was easy to have conversations as it was not too loud inside the restaurant. The only reason I did not give a 5 star is the mere lack of vegetarian options as a main course. There were a couple of small appetizers and side dishes, but nothing for a main course. The chef's accommodated by make an Alfredo pasta, but that seemed standard. It would be nice if they had a flavorful main entree as a vegetarian option that just did have just vegetables. The rest of the menu was good for Meat eaters, but very slim on what vegetarians Could choose from.

Kelly S.

Yelp

Beautiful ambiance and excellent service! The menu is already limited, but especially limited if you don't eat pork. The sandwiches (fried chicken, turkey melt, burger) are all very dry so they add a lot of aoli. Heads up: They charge for every soda refill and the glass is kid size. Cesar salad is delicious and so is the short rib torta. Oh and the fries are excellent

I took my parents here while visiting from out of town and thought this was a good dining experience. We enjoyed sitting outside with the trees/bistro lights and the heaters when I got a little cooler. While it was busy on a Saturday night, the ambiance was still peaceful! For drinks, I had asked the waitress about non-alcoholic drink options and she said that while they're not listed on the menu, the bartender can make anything. She suggested I just give a desired flavor profile so I said "tart". It was delicious! If I'm not going to have alcohol, I would generally rather not have a drink at all, but I did enjoy this one. My mom and I wanted to split the kale salad and they were nice to split it into two bowls. This salad was very good! Loved the crispy prosciutto and goat cheese, and the dressing was light/refreshing. Everyone's entrees were good but nothing amazing. I thought my duck confit Alfredo was a little bland, and my mom's lamb backstrap was a little overcooked. My dad got the braised short rib, which was good in itself but had an interesting sauce combination. Our wait staff was very nice and did a good job keeping an eye on us but not being over-bearing, and did a nice job pacing out our meal. Overall this was about on par for the price point.

Visited again after a very long time and we had a great time. we were promptly seated (note.we made reservations). and shared a bottle of wine and some appetizers. There was a singer there Friday night and the vibe was just right. Definitely recommend for a casual night out!

Decided on this place for the setting. Reminded us of the House of Tricks in Tempe. It is a beautiful quaint setting. Service was spot on. The menu had a good variety to choose from. I chose the scallops dish. Scallops are difficult to cook. Overcooked and they are rubbery. Mine were slightly undercooked, but still in the acceptable range. The flavor was good. Our other dish was the Grilled Striped Bass. It's a fish, but this one had a strong fishy flavor. I found the flavor profile of the pistachio crumble, artichoke, green curry marinade and fish odd. Pistachio crumble was burnt. The green curry marinade did make the fish edible. We did share the Smashed & Fried Baby Potatoes. The size of this side dish was substantial. Definitely large enough to share with two to four people. Small potato bites fried to perfection with dollops of goat cheese. Very good. Overall we found ourselves let down with the dishes we selected. The other dishes I saw in other tables did look attractive. I personally will likely not return. There are other selections on the menu and the atmosphere and staff are nice. If you do decide to try this place, you may very well find a dish that is good.

We enjoyed dinner at Hidden House recently, requested a quiet corner table and provided. Thank you! We started with the house salad and Aquachile. Both were fresh and flavorful. For entrees we had the Cassoulet and Scallops. The scallops were properly cooked with a good seared. The cassoulet was tasty and executed well, although lacking the richness of traditional cassoulet. Possibly some duck or duck fat would help elevate the dish to the level I have enjoyed in Toulouse. Cassoulet is originally a peasant dish from the southwest of France, it has evolved with numerous varieties. Thank you for providing me with the first opportunity to try the dish in the Americans! Well done! We enjoyed the boozy peach cheesecake for dessert. Service was attentive. Must have dishes? We will come back for the Aquachile and the Boozy peach cheesecake! Highly recommended!

Where do I start?! Hidden House has been a long time favorite for my husband and I. We absolutely love downtown Chandler and we bring anyone and everyone to this restaurant when we get the chance. First, the ambiance. Walking through the front arch, you feel like you're stepping into another country with the stonework path way and the hanging lights. The staff are always welcoming and so kind. We love the seasonal menu change. We're always so sad to see it go but the new one never disappoints. Our favorite brussel sprouts have prevailed! The wait service along with the presentation of the plates is always top tier. Now for the most important (and our favorite) part the pisco sours!! After having taken a trip to Peru and falling in love with them, there is no where else who makes pisco sours better than the Hidden House. If you've never had one, just try one and thank me later. Love love love this restaurant.

We have dined at Hidden House several times and always had a wonderful experience with both food and service. We decided to visit New Years Eve, which is also our anniversary, with two friends who had not yet been to Hidden House. As usual, the wait staff went above and beyond, the butter board was fabulous, and we all shared a bit of our entrees with each other. Chefs kiss to all, especially the pork chop. I have to say that the popcorn shrimp wasn't the same as I remembered. Maybe it was the batter but it just tasted different and not as good as I had remembered. Although the atmosphere and ambiance is excellent. It was way too cold in the hanger to have the doors open. Our food got cold pretty fast and we had to wear our coats throughout most of the meal which made the experience average that evening.

This place was very cute and subtle for being in downtown chandler. We came here just for a couple drinks at the bar area. The bar is kinda small but my group still fit within the corner. The bartenders were all friendly and answered all our questions quickly and knowledgeably. The menus they have are super cute too! Me and my mom got a blue Hawaiian (pictured) which was amazing. The bartender recommended it when we asked what was sweet. We didn't try any food this time as they were booked for dinner reservations. However, I would like to come back to see what they have. Bar wise, definitely a dainty place that I recommend.

Went here for Mother's Day last year and it was a fantastic appearance. The duck confit was absolutely fantastic. We highly recommend it.

I've been here twice now and both times have been wonderful! The ambiance both inside and outside is very nice. You can make it a romantic evening out for date night, or just go for a nice, slightly dim, relaxed atmosphere. The service is quick, friendly, and professional. Both times we came without a reservation and were seated right away. Now for the food my favorite dish that I've tried is the salmon with oyster mushrooms. It is PHENOMENAL! You would think the salmon would be the star of dish but the mushrooms stole the show. I've never had better prepared mushrooms in my life! So flavorful and the texture was perfect. I've also tried their octopus salad. It's delicious but a little pricey for what you get. The shishito peppers are so good and they give you a generous amount! We had a particularly spicey batch which was fun. For dessert I highly recommend their twist on tiramisu. They make a deconstructed tiramisu that's surprisingly addicting. I couldn't stop thinking about it after my first visit and came back for it the second visit (among other things ) I'd highly recommend this place for a nicer evening out in Chandler.

Never a bad experience here. The bartenders are always fun and inventive. The food is always done to perfection. With that said. If there is something you want to try but not sure you'll like it, this is the place to try it. Like frog legs, pork chop, foie gras. At least you know it's as good as it can be done here. .

3.5 stars Everything was good but really expensive. Not sure the price was worth it. The server was very knowledgeable & friendly. Really enjoyed the shishito peppers. It's fun seeing who got the spicy ones. My fillet was delicious as any good $45 steak should be. The paella also had really good scallops and perfect flavor. But to pay $46 for a individual plate is crazy. In other major cities you can get enough to share with the table for that price and there was no socarrat (burnt bottom parts of the rice). The cherries in my drink was a good addition. I would skip the tiramisu. Would definitely give this place 4 stars if the prices were a tad bit cheaper.
