Food: This was my first trip to The Secret Garden Tea Room and it won't be my last. It was such a lovely atmosphere and everything was delightful, from the decor, table setting, selection of teas (more than 70 varieties), service and food. It was well worth the trip from Everett. Thank you for a lovely and relaxing afternoon!! |

Food: My Mom, and my two sisters and I went for my Birthday in December and we had the best time. The tea's were wonderful, the food was fantastic and the scones were the best we have ever eaten!! I felt like a true victorian Lady sitting and having tea and lunch. What an absolutely beautiful and enchanting place. I plan on taking my daughter for her birthday as well. I can't wait to go back!! |

Food: Wow!! What a lovely time we recently had at the Secret Garden Tea Room. I had serveral friends tell me about their wonderful experiences there, so my co-workers, including two men and I couldn't wait to try it. The setting was beautiful, the food was outstanding and our server was delightful. The men were impressed with the ample portions, and we were all impressed with the quality of the food and the attractive presentation. All in all, it couldn't have been a nicer experience. |

Food: The hostess & owner were quite rude in fact to me and my friends when we were in attendance near Christmastime. Otherwise it is a quaint place. |

Food: My best girlfriend and I are tea lovers and former tea house owners ourselves. Secret Garden is our favorite place for tea. We drive two and a half hours from Vancouver just to go there for the afternoon. Atmosphere, food, service, everything is FANTASTIC!! |

Food: I recently visited the secret garden upon recomendation from a friend. She said it was great and I wasn't disappointed... I am a tearoom junkie and have been to tea all over the world. I must say the secret garden is one of the best I have ever been to. The prices are so reasonable and the food outragous, anything even close to comparable is at least twice the price. cant wait til the next time. thank you for a wonderful experience. |

Food: This is a BEAUTIFUL tea room. The Victorian house is reason enough to go there. The high tea we had was good but I though very expensive. I am glad we went and enjoyed what we had. |

Food: I recently had my Baby Shower here and it was everything I wanted it to be. A lot of my guests actually thought I was crazy for having a 'Tea Party' for a baby shower but they were won over the minute they sat down. The atmosphere was very calming, it was Victorian but not in the hoity-toity stuck up way. Just the architecture alone made the trip worth it.The tea menu was very extensive and everyone present quickly found a favorite.( My favorite was the White Ambrosia - A white tea) The food was amazing and the Pea Orzo salad was a huge hit. The decor and presentation of both the tea and the food had every one of us feeling like princesses. I definitly recommend this tea house to everyone I talk to who is interested in tea. We have all decided to get together atleast once a month and have a Princess day. Thank you to the entire staff, your attitude, service and one-on-one interactions made this day perfect. |

Food: My first trip to Washington was complete when my daughter took me to the Secret Garden. Everything was lovely. The food was great, the chicken salad is wonderful and the chocolate filled tea cup is over the top. I am looking forward to a return visit on my next trip to the state. Thanks so much. |

Food: I would like to comment on Jennifers review she made on the Secret Garden. She stated that the owner kicked her out and that she displayed very bad behavior. Well I actually was a customer at the same time, and I would like to say that Jennifers children are not as lovely as she thinks. All I heard for about two hours was annoying, loud screams. If anyone should be embarrassed it should be the mother of those undisciplined children. And as for being kicked out, I happened to have over heard the owner, very tastefully ask if there was anything she could do to make the children more comfortable. This hardly equates being kicked out. In my opinion, these children should not even be taken out in public, much less an elequent place like the Secret Garden. Jennifer should really think about spending more time training and discipling her children and less time on the computer coming up with this kind of nonsense. |

Food: I attended tea w/ my 2 children, my mother and another friend. About an hour into our tea, we were asked by the manager to leave due to the behavior of my children. My children were very well behaved and we actually had a few tables come and comment to us how well behaved they were. The manager was very rude and unprofessional. She should be embarrassed for her behavior & I'm sure this isn't the first time she has been rude to her customers. |
