Reviews Summary
Jardín Secreto is celebrated for its enchanting 'Secret Garden' ambiance, complete with live music and a romantic atmosphere that draws in visitors for special occasions. Many praise the exceptional service, with specific staff members noted for their attentiveness and menu knowledge. While the food is generally enjoyed, some diners have noted inconsistencies in temperature and found the prices to be high for the quality received.
"We had a wonderful evening. We shared a beet salad and a margarita pizza. It was just the perfect amount for us. We saved a bit of room as we indulged in the apple strudel. We are so glad we did. It was excellent.
The restaurant is spacious yet intimate.
It is one of our favoured spot during our 2 week stay in SAN Jose del Cabo"

"It's the setting that will bring people in. Beautiful and inviting as any Secret Garden would be. The food was inventive and tasty, except half of our meals arrived cold. We opted not to make our dining experience awkward by complaining (it changes the vibe of the night)... so we ate the meals not hot. Yet, at this price point, that shouldn't have happened in the first place. I know that's how restaurant managers cull dead weight of underperforming staff. But we just didn't want to change the vibe. Service was usually good, but sometimes we all wondered where they were. 🤔 Live jazz entertainment was fun and rounded out the evening. I would give them another chance because everyone can have an off night."

"We went here for our Girls Trip, and dinner was AMAZING! Benjamin waited on us, and he knows every little detail about the menu. He was super patient with us telling us everything we needed to know and he definitely did not steer us wrong. Everyone cleared off their plates! Everything we ordered was some of the best food we ate throughout the entire trip!"

Jardin Secreto translates to “Secret Garden” in English, which depicts the garden-style (roofed) dining at this restaurant. It’s recommended for brunch but you can dine here anytime of the day, although I prefer the brunch concept since the space is gorgeous during daylight. They do have live music every night which changes the ambiance of the restaurant so this is a good dinner spot for special occasions or dates.
