   No point in making a reservation. They don’t honor them. They allow people to sit in tables as long as they want, so it becomes standing room only. What’s dumb is they won’t let you in without a reservation yet they have nowhere for you to sit. Horribly managed.

   Thank you for your feedback. We have recently gone through some changes in the Hidden Boot, and this has caused some issues within our system as well as with the service we provide. I sincerely apologize for this error, and I hope we can make it up to you again in the future.

   Made a reservation for dining at the Hidden Boot experience and arrived early. Hostess asked if we had a reservation, found our reservation, then said it was going to be open seating and that our reservation for a table could not be honored. She even hit us with a “good luck finding a spot” condescendingly. When we walked in it was standing room only and we couldn’t even find a barstool. Ridiculous experience when there’s a reservation system in place to allegedly prevent this.

   Horrible experience. We made a reservation for 9:30, when we arrived they informed us there was not a table for us and there would not be. They mentioned at 9 they stop doing reservations and it’s walk ins, why offer a 9:30 reservation. The manager then offered us a table for 2 for our party of 4. So half of us could sit and enjoy ourselves while the other two had to go find somewhere else, how this was even a proposed solution was terrible. Overall just a horrible experience, will never return again after this.

   Hello Jbar, It's disappointing to hear that we couldn't accommodate your reservation request, especially after you made the reservation and were told seating was otherwise. We understand how frustrating it must have been for you and your party to wait for a table, and are sorry that the situation was not resolved in a more satisfactory manner. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you better in the future.

   I placed a reservation for 6 almost a month in advance for the bar in the back. When we arrived 10 minutes before my reservation time we were told there was no room for us. They forced us to be seated out in the common area without as much as a “sorry for the inconvenience.” Don’t plan on being able to get a seat even with a reservation.

   Need better menu more dinner choices. Better drinks. I wasn’t impressed by the drink menu. End up, just drinking whiskey because you guys didn’t have anything that was really that good.

   Our experience was lacking. Service was sporadic if at all. Food was sub par and not delivered at the same time. We will not be going back.

    Pretty cool place. Was a bit chaotic when trying to get seated. There was no one at the hosts table and it took about 25 minutes from walking in the door until we even got out drinks. But from there on everything was great. Super amazing food!
