Made the reservation through Chope for 17:00 and was contacted by the host. She informed me that the smoking area will be at the Secret Garden u0026 she said that all the drinks served at Secret Garden are mostly alcohol. I asked her is there any other drinks available since my friend doesn’t drink alcohol. I was told that only soft drinks and mineral water are available. I also checked if it’s possible to order the drinks from The Garden, doesn’t matter if we need to pay two separate bills for it and her answer is a straight NO. I asked her whether or not The Garden has a smoking area, she also said No. I agreed to it although the regulations is a bit strange for me.
When I arrived, she told me that there’s an AC maintenance going on at the Secret Garden, so she put me at The Garden first then at around 18:00, we will move down. Again, weird, because it doesn’t match with our conversation earlier. I sat and ordered my food and drinks. They are nice enough to make my drinks although it’s not on the menu. The Wagyu Beef Rendang is also very savory.
At 18:00, the waiter informed me that I need to move to the Secret Garden. So, I asked if the maintenance is done, and they confirmed it’s done. We moved down and I actually love the place. Very vintage jazzy kind of place.
We are planning to go back there again for an evening drinks with other friends.
When we about to leave, I asked the waiter if Secret Garden also opened for lunch. She then told me that actually Secret Garden only opens starting at 18:00 daily. That is quite shocking since the host was using maintenance as a reason. Why she can’t just tell me that smoking area at the Garden only until 18:00?
I’m actually very disappointed with the host’s way of conveying the information to the guest. But, I still love the place because the remaining staffs are very helpful and accommodating.
