No. Most of our new guests hear about us from our friends. Therefore, they are familiar with the "shape" of our evenings. If you do not know any of our friends, it is important to know that an evening at Joes' Secret Garden is very much like a dinner party. First there is a social/cocktail "mixer" followed by dinner. Dinner is served when it is ready. The published service time is not firm. This is not a typical restaurant.
Please do not expect to arrive, be seated and served immediately. Instead, please expect to enjoy a leisurely social evening.
