Review The Vintage Secret Garden - Galston

I wanna give a 3.5 but there is no half point system here. Went there on a weekend last month. Highly recommend for a afternoon break with friends and family, quiet environment and great decors for taking nice photos. Ambience: - Loving the seating arrangement! Social distancing was maintained, therefore space and scale was fine - noise level was okay, some kids but not disturbing at all; Food: - Too salty - Loved the curly fries but forgot to take a picture - Dishes are all instagrammable I'd say - see the photos' captions for more

Beautiful location, Friendly staff, well maintained. Quite a big restaurant with many different indoor and outdoor arenas. We were seated almost immediately inspite of being busy. Food was great but had to wait for a good half hour after ordering. We ordered pumpkin soup, veggie stack and margarita wood fire pizza for hot food. All of them tasted great.

We shared a fantastic meal here on Saturday night. The staff were very attentive and helpful. The food not only looked beautiful it tasted absolutely delicious and the courtyard space with fountain is an absolute delight. I had the little Greek plate and the sticky date pudding...I'm already thinking about when we can go back!

Beautiful atmosphere, great food and friendly staff. Vegetarian pasta was just delicious and we were well taken of by our lovely waitress. Parking is available but limited. Booking is recommended as it does get quite busy here.

Bookings are essential in case you want to sit in the garden on weekends. We ordered a salad, pizza and salmon. The menu is quite extensive and we found the salad and pizza to be top notch. The salmon was very average - probably reducing the menu may not be a bad idea? Great ambience, plenty of parking, lovely staff

having visited the restaurant a few times with my family all i can say is that this is the place to be for any sort of function or gathering. Love the ambience, food, service, location. I simply love the food and the service is good as well Don't forget to try sticky date pudding. It's good...

Strange start, some mix-ups on the way but a good end We went to The Vintage Pantry Secret Garden for brunch on a Sunday in early April 2022. Our booking was for 11.15 for brunch, or so we thought. After being seated and given menus, we all decided our dishes. However the waitress informed that the brunch orders had closed and we could only order from the lunch menu! Change of plan, and dishes! We ordered from the lunch menu - 5 items amongst 5 people. 4 dishes came one after another, but there was no sign of the 5th dish. When enquired, the manager (owner?) burst out explaining he was highly short-staffed, and even a chef was sick, etc. By the time the 5th dish came, we had finished the other 4. The wood-fired pizza was below expectations- the edges were far too thick. Pumpkin soup was okay but only warm, not hot. The vegan stack was just about okay. The penne Arabiata, when it arrived, was also just about okay - nothing spectacular. A senior lady staff member came up to apologize for everything and provided us a complimentary dessert- which we shared. The secret garden dessert was delightful! At the time of settling the payment, the owner / manager apologized and gave us a discount on our bill. I do think, and hope, that our experience was a one-off.

Heaps of parking in side street off Galston road, nice place with garden and indoor and outdoor seating. Had the rustic pizza, was really nice, the greek salad was nice though maybe it should be called a Persian feta garden salad instead of Greek. I added the haloumi in the pic. For dessert was the secret garden, which was a strawberry vanilla panacotta, it was ok though I prefer a traditional dessert and thought I'd give this a go, i would give a different dessert a go next time.
