   Made the mistake of accepting seating near the kitchen and across from the bar. Big error! Entrance to kitchen has noisy saloon swinging doors. Owners children thought it was wonderful to play with doors. Couldn’t wait to get out of there. This was complicated by slow service. When food arrived it was warm rather than hot. Food quality was average. Worse Christmas dinner ever.

   Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear that your experience with us during Christmas wasn’t as enjoyable as it should have been. Christmas is one of our busiest times, and while we do our very best to provide a calm and enjoyable atmosphere for all our guests, it seems we fell short during your visit. Regarding the child playing with the saloon doors although the owner doesn't have children we are familiar with our guests' children and as Christmas we hosted many families and we regret that this caused any disruption to your meal. Your input is very important as we address any and all issues with the staff to make our service better for our guests. We would love to have you back to give you a better experience next time. Sincerly Team Secreto.

   Enjoyable Christmas Eve dining experience. Excellent service. Appreciated that it’s a smaller venue so the noise level is controlled.

   The food was tasty, but very disappointed that they jacked up. The regular menu prices are the same size servings. It was Christmas Eve and we were told we could order off the regular menu, but we understand it was just a special menu. But to jack, the price is up Was really unfair to patrons.

   Great ambience. Food was not bad, but it also wasn't like mouth watering. It was a great place for low crowds

   This restaurant is in transition. So much not right I don’t want to go into all that was wrong. The waiter was very understanding, very nice.

   We have been to Secreto several times and this was the most disappointing. I attribute this to it being the Christmas season and they were hosting a few large parties. We were greeted and seated right away. Atmosphere was good but service was much slower than usual. Appetizers were great - Calamari & Bang Bang Shrimp. Salads were very good. Then we waited for 20-25 minutes for the entreees. When they arrived they were lukewarm to cold which led me to believe they were overcrowded/understaffed. Will go back but not during the busy season.

   Thank you for your honest feedback and for being a loyal guest of Secreto. We’re sorry to hear that your recent visit didn’t meet your usual expectations, but we appreciate your understanding during the busy holiday season. While a 20-minute preparation time for entrées is normal to ensure quality, we take great importance you enjoy the coursing of our meals. This is the standard we aim for, even during busier times. We’re thrilled you enjoyed the appetizers, salads, and atmosphere, and we’re grateful for your patience. We look forward to welcoming you back for the exceptional experience you’ve come to expect! Sincerely Team Secreto

   Lamb chops a little small, but food was good. Quite vibe on Thanksgiving!
   

   Secreto Southern Kitchen- BrookhavenResponded 5 days ago

   Thank you for your review! We're glad you enjoyed the food and the peaceful atmosphere on Thanksgiving. Regarding the lamb chops, we serve smaller lamb lollipops because they’re known for being more tender and flavorful, offering a tastier experience. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back soon! Sincerely Team Secreto

    Secreto is a neighborhood gem. High end Southern fare is now being mixed with a Mediterranean vibe. Food was very tasty and service was excellent.
