  “A regular visitor to the excellent garden centre adjacent. Decided to drop into The Secret Garden for a bite to eat. Shown to a table and then abandoned. Struggled to catch the eye of the numerous staff who seemed impervious to our presence whilst sweeping past the table frequently. Eventually One of us had to get up and approach the till for service. When it came, it was grumpy! Food was plocked down when it arrived. Order was incorrect - but waitress had moved on! No apology offered. This restaurant is a gold mine. It seems full all the time. The menu is varied and wide. But the service is appalling. Staff do not seem to be trained in the basics of meeting, greeting, serving and checking. Let’s not even mention the complete absence of smiles and a sense of welcome. Will not rush back.”

  “I visited the secret garden for breakfast when I was having a weekend break in Belfast weekend of the 17th April. I am a celiac so finding somewhere with good selection is difficult. The menu here is brilliant what a choice for gluten free. I ordered the GF sourdough breakfast and was not disappointed. Service was good nice friendly staff and the atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. Will definitely revisit when next in Belfast Helen”

  “Lunch for 2 on Monday. Service was poor. Floor was dirty with food dropped under the table. Waitresses were very loud, talking loudly amongst themselves instead of working. I had fish goujons. The batter was soft instead of crispy. The fish …”

  “Went for lunch with my wife and son. Staff were super attentive upon arrival and seated within minutes. Drinks ordered and order placed all within 5-10 minutes of being seated. The wife went for the special which was salted chili bites with skin on skinny fries and side salad, son had sausages and chips and I had bacon, brie and red onion marmalade panini with skinny fries coleslaw and side salad. Picture below. Overall total was around £30 which wasn't too bad for two big plates of lunch and coke zero and child's lunch. Highly would recommend The Secret Garden to anyone looking for a high quality meal in the Dundonald area.”
