The U.S. Capitol has introduced a new eatery named The Hideaway, a project 166 years in the making, located on the first floor of the House. Initially hyped as a speakeasy-style dining option, it officially opened on 2024-04-10 but has been revealed to be a simple carryout food spot, adjacent to the Members' Dining Room, disappointing some with its lack of traditional service - orders must be placed via an app named Everyday. The menu features creatively named items such as 'point of order pasta' and 'pro tem tots', available to members, staff, and visitors on in-session days from 11:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. However, early reviews of The Hideaway have been less than favorable, with criticisms focusing on the quality of the food, described as subpar and overpriced, with a pasta dish being notably flavorless and not warm, rated 4/10 and priced at $13.
The US Capitol has a new eatery called The Hideaway that it advertised like a speakeasy. But actually, it's just... whatever this is. Reporter/Hill food critic @victoriaregisk gave me the inside scoop: https://t.co/mjht6TvZqC https://t.co/uIYMKyVdAV

1/ Okay here it is, the Hideaway review: Food is subpar, actually maybe actively bad. Surprising since I think it’s food literally being wheeled over fr the Members Dining Room. Pasta was flavorless & not warm. And for $13?? @josephzeballos rated it 4/10. Pro tem tots same… https://t.co/9zN2dAv1NX
Okay live on the scene for the Hideaway’s opening. A bit disappointing for all the speakeasy-like hype - it’s literally just a pick-up spot for carryout food directly beside the Members’ Dining Room. No one to take your order, you just have to order from an app called Everyday. https://t.co/9WCxIyDrj0
