In the beautiful Secret Garden, there is over six thousand square feet of event garden space. You will find a peaceful tranquility about the garden, with romantic roses and jasmine arbors, manicured lawns, winding walkways and thousands of flowering plants, trees and herbs. During the evening, the garden and arbors alight with hundreds of tiny twinkling lights, creating an magical ambience.

The patio walls are covered with beautiful al fresco painting and miniature French ivy with a blanket of miniature evening lights. Diners are also surrounded by varieties French Lavender, gardenias, roses, lilies, red riding hood and other foliage. Whether dining under the stars or taking full advantage of the marvelous sunshine, our patio is also a desirable option in accommodating 100 guests.
