About this space

Whispered among the cognoscenti as the city's hidden gem, the Secret Garden is a captivating outdoor dining enclave that celebrates the whimsy of nature. Enclosed by lush ivy and whimsical vines, each corner is a tableau of enchantment, offering a reprieve from the urban rush.

Beneath a canopy of twinkling lights and verdant branches, the space hums with the gentle murmur of intimate conversations. Vintage-style iron tables are adorned with flickering candles, casting a soft glow that warms the patterned tile floor, creating a mosaic of light and shadows.

Reflective mirrors set within the foliage play with perception, adding depth and wonder, making the garden feel like an infinite forest. Here, time seems to stand still, inviting guests to linger over delectable dishes and lose themselves in the magic of the moment. It's not just a place to dine—it's an otherworldly escape within the city, perfect for those special evenings that call for a touch of the extraordinary.

Wedding Reception · 60 guests
Held my husband's and I's reception here after our microwedding. It was perfect. Our theme was spring Garden, and Saints recent floral decor additions to the ceiling and green walls fit the aesthetic I envisioned to a tee. There was enough space for my party of 50 plus young children. Music was simple connected to Spotify and speakers were directed into the outdoor space. The staff: bartenders, servers, hostess and Megan the event coordinator were fantastic to work with. Very dedicated to bringing about excellent service and allowing the evening to go on without a hitch. Saints summer menu was delicious and the drinks were delightful and strong. I truly enjoyed the entire process and the day of, my guests raved about the service and the beauty of the space and restaurant. Saint is a wonderful place to have a celebration and I would reserve the Secret Garden again.
The space did get really hot, which was unexpected and I didn't account for. It was the hottest day of the week(6/5/25) & unfortunately there aren't fans in the outdoor area. Luckily the reservation also includes the private indoor bar with cool A/C. My guests and I made frequent trips back inside to cool off.
