This place is run at a high-level with the goal of always ensuring the diners enjoys their dining experience. Shortly after placing our order, we were informed that the kitchen had no more of the lamb dish to sell. However, a few minutes later, the manager came by and let us know that the kitchen was willing to prepare and cook one for us (probably from the stock allotted for the following day). A+ customer service, and the food never disappoints.

4 women friends had lunch here the other day and will definitely be going back. The food selections were varied and delicious. Pricing was reasonable. The Secret Garden is a small, intimate space but felt spacious due to the lightning and the atmosphere of ... well, being in a garden. The service was friendly and attentive.
