Awesome food and service with a quiet, modern atmosphere (at least at lunchtime). The fried chicken is a must--you will not find better in the Windward Pkwy area. Shrimp & Grits is another awesome dish. They're open for lunch Wed-Fri so definitely give Secreto a try if you work in the vicinity.

This restaurant is a gem. The service is great! The atmosphere creates an experience, especially the music. The food was very delicious and they have a great selection of drinks and wine. The fried green tomatoes weren’t cooked enough for me, but everything else was so good, so it wasn’t too much of a bother. Would definitely go back again.
This restaurant never disappoints! The service is amazing, everyone is attentive and nice. The atmosphere is cozy and dimly lit and the music selection is always relaxing. The food oh my gosh, the food is sooooo good. Try the fried chicken it is not your typical fried chicken it’s elevated! You won’t regret your experience at this restaurant.

Never got to eat. Made a reservation and then was told when we got there that the reservation didn't actually guarantee a table. Manager got rude after we asked whats the point of the reservation then. Left and never going back.

We are already talking about "next time!" Our server, Jonathan, was phenomenal! He seemed to anticipate our every need. On top of that, his food recommendations were spot on! We started with the fried green tomatoes stuffed with pimento cheese, then the fried chicken with jalapeno gravy, and the short ribs. We finished by sharing a slice of heaven, aka warm carrot cake. Every bite of every dish was a unique and happy twist on old favorites! The environment was casual enough for nice jeans, but fancy enough to feel "special." Even though it was full, it was not at all loud. We were able to easily catch up with our old friends. We found a new favorite place!

Nice place but the bartender is slowwww. We came in for happy hour and sat for awhile before even being acknowledged. Once we ordered drinks we waited awhile as well. Wasn’t super busy as it was early. I get they are craft cocktails but we would not have that issue in the city.We tried a few different appetizers - deviled eggs, calamari, bang bang shrimp. Only one I would get again is the bang bang. Calamari was overly fried and the deviled eggs were plain. Fried chicken is obviously the go to here. Saw several other couples order to split as well. Was very good! And the cornbread was delicious as well. Overall I wouldn’t waste my money on the apps unless happy hour but would definitely get the chicken for an entree. And don’t skip the crème brûlée. we might try the other location for a better vibe.

Quaint spot, food is tasteful and you can tell they spent time perfecting the recipes. Great spot for a pleasant but upscale evening.Parking: Plenty of free spots.
Secreto is Heaven on Earth. Everything about this place is phenomenal, but if I’m going to be honest, the hostess, Allana, completely and utterly took my breath away. Every interaction with her was unbelievable. She is very professional and beautiful. The fried chicken was amazing and the carrot cake is really good.

Our group of 10 was disrespected by the server within 5 minutes of sitting. This was the worst service I have ever received from one employee that we had no choice but to walk out. We don’t mind business having policies and we are absolutely understanding of small business practices but having an employee be out right rude is another story. Don’t waste your time.

I’ve visited Secreto a handful of times; the service and food are always consistently good. All of their staff is very kind and welcoming. Definitely one of my favorite restaurants.
