"Ample food, outstanding quality, super nice service. Very accommodating, had to change timing relative to OpenTable reservations and it was very easy. Went there for birthday and when they overheard in our conversation we had a birthday they brought out a mini "cake" complete with candle, very sweet."

"Always a nice place to relax although there was another larger and kind of loud party in the tea house. Still, they were celebrating a birthday and we were trying to have a quiet conversation. Service was great as the lady didn't rush us even as closing time came. She let us eat and drink at our leisure and was discreet in letting us all now when we had to get out. I appreciate that."

"I've been to Secret Garden twice before and enjoyed it immensely: the treats, the whimsy, the sweet and refined experience This time however, it was sorely lacking. They seem to be cutting costs, which was reflected in small but important ways: plastic containers vs china for the devon cream and jam, tea bags vs loose tea leaves, milk vs cream for the tea, one waitress for three parties on a sunday afternoon... It all felt cheapened, which is a shame.
I'll pay more for a more authentic experience. Tea isn't something you do every day, so the owners should make a greater effort to ensure it's special from beginning to end."
