Secret Garden

I visited Secret Garden last week, and I was absolutely blown away. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt magical—warm, stylish, and full of character. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive without ever feeling intrusive, creating a sense of genuine hospitality that’s hard to find. The food was simply fantastic. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor, clearly crafted with care and creativity. You can truly taste the quality in every bite. Together with the exceptional service and inviting ambiance, it made for an unforgettable dining experience. Secret Garden exceeded all my expectations. I left with a big smile and can’t wait to return. Highly recommended!

We did have a good time last Saturday, despite the inconvenience of standing for 45 minutes to wait for our reserved table which was also confirmed by phone (5 hours before our booking time 9:15pm). The Manager was nice to offer complimentary snacks (edamame and shishito peppers) until I saw the bill again today that we were charged for it. So it wasn’t complimentary after all! The night turned good because our waiter (forgot his name, he’s from Portugal) attended to us great. The food arrived 22-30mins which is ok. The beer and 2 sodas we ordered were given a bit late. The food was delicious though. I love the Salmon Aburi. and Wagyu rice was the best! Getting the bill took too long as no waiter was around and when someone comes he doesn’t even pay attention to our side of the table (end corner). Also another table beside us has been trying to get their attention, but no luck. After 10-15mins of waving for someone’s attention, our friend had to leave our table to get someone. So attention to your customers is not really up to par with the wonderful interior of your restaurant. Our reservation was booked at 9:15pm, we arrived 9:10pm, and we’re only able to begin dining at 10:31pm. This delay significantly impacted our experience, particularly for a group of six celebrating a bachelorette party. The poor service we encountered during our visit left a lasting impression.

Absolutely stunning! We had a private dining upstairs and we were amazed by the food and service. Ambience is just beautiful. We had a tasting menu and every single dish was a heaven in the mouth. Really beautiful restaurant. I will highly recommend to everyone!

This Japanese and Peruvian fusion spot was such a great experience overall. It’s not easy to get a reservation for the main dining area, especially on weekends, but you can usually find a table in the bar or lounge. The food was excellent , on the pricier side, but the quality justifies it. The service was friendly, and the dishes were beautifully presented and full of flavor. Portions are light, so plan on ordering at least four dishes per person, not including dessert, to feel satisfied. It’s a great place for a date night since the menu is perfect for sharing. The atmosphere itself is unique, not exactly my favorite style of decor, but still nice. The food really stood out ,the Wagyu fried rice was incredible, rich and flavorful from the beef fat, and both the sea bass and the cod were cooked perfectly. Overall, a memorable meal worth trying if you’re into creative fusion dining.

Good food is hard to find and this restaurant serves good food. Atmosphere would have been better though if the fake plants were real plants. Dress code is a bit odd, especially since you’re only warned after you have booked a reservation (i did mine online). Portions were a bit small, especially since the server recommended dishes to be shared. I really enjoyed the shrimp tempura. My friends enjoyed the octopus but I found it a bit too salty.

I celebrated my birthday with dinner at Secret Garden in Amsterdam. First of all, the interior is absolutely stunning! The design is truly chef’s kiss. The service was excellent, we had such a pleasant experience with the staff. The food and drinks were delicious, and there wasn’t a single dish we didn’t enjoy. Secret Garden will definitely be seeing me again 🌹🥂

We had such a lovely time at Secret Garden. Our host Loic greeted us with a warm welcome. He was very friendly, kind and polite and is very knowledgeable on the food composition. He also made sure we were having a good time and took really good care of us! The food is great and service as well!

Fantastic evening from start to finish. Perfect service, delicious food and a lovely atmosphere. Our waiter was extremely polite and helpful. He made us feel welcome and at ease. We ordered 7 smaller plates and one main dish between us and we both left feeling very full. Each dish was well presented and brought out either alone or paired with something that complemented it. The guacamole was the best I've ever tasted. The corn ribs with parmesan were delicious and every course was full of flavour. The waiter even brought us a celebration pudding for our wedding anniversary. We would thoroughly recommend this place for a special meal and would have no hesitation in returning next time we are in Amsterdam.
