Tucked away in the historic charm of Occoquan, VA, The Secret Garden is a hidden gem that perfectly captures the relaxed, southern vibe of the town. Housed in a beautifully converted 1840s home, the restaurant offers both a cozy indoor setting with intimate, quaint rooms and a lovely outdoor space, creating the ideal atmosphere for this picturesque riverside community.
The menu at The Secret Garden features a delightful mix of casual fare with unexpected twists. Whether you’re in the mood for pasta, shrimp and grits, or lighter options like salads and sandwiches, the variety impresses. Noteworthy starters like potstickers and tapenade elevate the dining experience, adding a surprising flair to the classic offerings.
Service here is consistently wonderful, always making each visit enjoyable. I highly recommend the brunch, which stands out with its extensive menu, affordable prices, and delicious dishes—a real find in Northern Virginia.
True to its name, The Secret Garden can easily be overlooked, with just a small sign leading you to the entrance. But once you ascend the steps, you’re greeted by the undeniable charm of this historic building.
The Secret Garden fits seamlessly into Occoquan’s Main Street, offering good food, great service, and an atmosphere that invites you to unwind and enjoy the town’s small-town allure. A perfect spot for locals and visitors alike.
