Great food, drinks and service. The salmon dish was cooked to perfection. The waitress was attentive and welcoming. The music selection was a nice touch, plus it wasn’t too loud. Overall, a laid back atmosphere.

Fantastic Easter Brunch! My 3rs time here and they didn’t disappoint. She crab soup and pear salad were visually inviting and both were delicious! The chicken and waffles were great too!

Here is an unoriginal take; Secreto is the perfect name of this place because it is the best kept secret in Brookhaven. I have literally never had a bad meal here and the "Community Hour" menu is such an incredible value that it is borderline criminal. The chef is super creative and the specials are always on point, the only "problem" is that the regular menu is ALSO always on point so it can be hard to decide what to get! Big shoutout to our favorite server there, Brittany. She always takes tremendous care of us.

Excellent food and accommodated our group with around 40 people. To start with, there's ample parking in the parking lot. That's a rarity for something that's so close to Buckhead. The wait staff was fantastic and had a custom menu for us to order from. I had the crab soup and it was delicious and full of meat. Then I had the southern chicken, and the mashed potatoes and chicken were both wonderful. To top it all off we had a wonderful dessert of a cheesecake that was to die for. They did a great job accommodating such a large group and were really attentive. Would definitely go again!Parking: I got here about 5:40 on a weeknight and there was plenty of parking in the parking lot. I was a little worried that I was going to have to pay for parking somewhere, but this was a great place to eat

Love the food & service. Tried the happy hour menu for the first time and it was a nice selection of items. Been here about a handful of times, very close to my home. Must try.

We came here for the Valentine’s Day special and the food was awful and the service was mediocre at best. We didn’t have silverware after each course so our meals got cold. The wine we ordered came out late. They put the tables so close to one another which made it awkward to have a conversation with my partner. The food was not up to par especially because we’ve gone there before and we’re so impressed with their regular menu. I regret going here for our Valentine’s Day dinner. And not to mention we spent $220 and went home hungry.

I went there last night for Valentine’s dinner, for the price we paid was not worth. Was supposed to be a dinner course and they didn’t have 2 of the dishes we want to order and was on the menu. I do not recommend this place overpriced for what you going to get if they have the dishes .

The food is fantastic, taking some traditional menu items like fried chicken or shrimp and grits, but making it their own original recipe. Presentation is on target. Our waitress, Peyton, was phenomenal. Spoke to the manager and conveyed our respects.

Celebrated Valentine's Day with my hubby, and managed to hook a last-minute reservation at Secreto. So glad I did because it was great! We had been to Secreto before, but only for brunch, so I wondered what their dinner service would be like. Although they seated us a few minutes late because they were so busy, we had a nice large table for two. Their prix fixe for the evening had ample choices. For my appetizer, I had the lobster bisque, which was luscious and had a nice kick. Hubby had the goat cheese salad, which was very substantial. For my main course, I had the fried chicken, which was an homage to chicken fried chicken (schnitzel style) over mashed potatoes. Hubby had the ravioli, which was a huge portion! I had two large pieces and even saved half to go, but hubs devoured his carbs because he's marathon training. I finished with the bread pudding and he got the berry cheesecake. We love the fact that the restaurant, although clearly abuzz with V-Day customers, kept a low sound level— we remarked that we could actually talk and hear each other! The service is also at our table was very personable and efficient. High marks all around and we will return for more lovely, intimate, dinners!
We had the special Valentine's three-course menu. The food was excellent. But, my water glass was empty for a large part of the meal. The kitchen seemed backed up -- we spent more time waiting for the next course than we did eating. The waitress seemed to be actively avoiding eye contact with the tables in our area. I had to wave my arms in the air to get her attention. I feel we would have gotten better service at the Marlow's across the parking lot. Paying $200 for a meal for two, I'd expect better. So maybe they were temporarily understaffed. Or maybe they oversold for the event. I can forgive. But finally what left a lasting bad taste in my mouth was the 20% tip they presumptively added to the check. So, over all, excellent food, poor service. But they have the gall to decide for me how much I'm going to tip. That's not how it works. The nearby Haven is in about the same price range, has excellent food, and always has excellent service.
I have been visiting Secreto for years and have truly not had a bad experience until this visit. I think due to Valentine's Day and it being a pre-fixed menu the overall service and food was poor considering my other experiences have always been great. I will definitely return for regular services however will be avoiding future events

The food here is very tasty. We had a fixed menu on Valentine's Day and everything looked very good. The dishes we ordered were both delicious. It wasn't cheap but good food on Valentine's Day usually isn't. It's worth checking out if you want to have a good meal for a special occasion!

If this wasn't a fine dining place, there would be some tongue action on that plate LOL. I ordered the shrimp and grits, and just when I thought all the juice and flavor left my mouth, I bit into bacon. Everything about this place is perfect and my taste buds are in heaven. The servers refill your water without asking too! Quit reading and come here now. The pics of my plates are all you need to see, no words needed. 11/10 I haven't even left the restaurant yet just to write this
