I almost hesitate to write this review because this place feels like a well-kept secret â but it deserves all the recognition! Tucked away in an unassuming spot, this restaurant is an absolute hidden gem that delivers big on flavor, atmosphere, and service.
From the moment we walked in, we were greeted like old friends. The ambiance is cozy, intimate, and thoughtfully decorated â the kind of place that immediately makes you feel at home. But letâs talk about the food⌠wow. Every dish was a masterclass in balance and freshness. You can tell the chef takes pride in every detail, from presentation to seasoning. We had the Margarita Pizza which is cooked on the grill, the ham and cheese and beef empanadas are seriously the best Iâve ever had and Iâm still thinking about it days later.
The staff were warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely seemed to love what they do. Even, the owner Nico Xavier came out to greet us and make us feel welcomed. They gave great recommendations and timed everything perfectly â we never felt rushed or ignored.
This spot may not have the flashy exterior of a major chain, but it more than makes up for it with authenticity, heart, and seriously unforgettable meals. You can even enjoy the pool while dining and or drinking which is very unique and a must! If youâre tired of the same old dining options and want something special, make the time to find this place. You wonât regret it.

The place has been taken over (3 months ago) by a wonderful team, including Nick, one of the owners, and they aim to make it the âneighborhood gemâ we all want. The food is delicious, the service impeccable and the vibe simply perfect. Catch it while you can! If you like a relaxed atmosphere with good drinks and good food, Hidden Food Club will not disappoint. I suspect that as the weather gets cooler and high season starts, it will be hard to get a table there. I recommend the hand-cut beef empanadas (2 per order) and the lobster black seafood, their pear salad is also delicious. Nick is extremely personable and humble - he came to introduce himself and asked to share with him what they could do better to make sure he creates that perfect ambiance and food pairing that will draw you back time and time again. If you like to support your local business, this is your chance to do that! If you are looking for a $5 burger, this is not your spot; food here is high quality yet very well priced value for dollar. Nick and his team will definitely be...

Their service was not just exceptional; it was a seamless blend of professionalism, warmth, and efficiency. They consistently checked in with us to ensure we had everything we needed, and their willingness to help made all the difference.
The food was a delightful treat, bursting with flavor and crafted with care. The drinks were equally impressive, featuring a fully stocked bar that could whip up any cocktail or beverage we desired.
The pool area was nothing short of stunningâits clear, shimmering water looked refreshingly inviting. Next time we visit, weâll definitely remember to bring our bathing suits to take full advantage of this...
