"Once a month from Spring through Autumn the Secret Herb Garden offers a three course dinner with matched wines to coincide with the full moon. Having visited The Secret Herb Garden many times before to eat at the cafe, buy plants and gin, and soak up the garden 's atmosphere I was curious to give the Full Moon Dinner a try. I called three times to ask, and check, about the suitability of the food and wine for vegans and was told there would be options. However when we arrived it became clear that the vegan meals would be the vegetarian menu items with animal products removed. None of the dessert options were vegan, or able to have components removed to make them so. We were offered a serving of sorbet instead. Additionally, no one could tell us if any of the matched wines were vegan, despite there being a wine guy. Apparently he had forgotten to bring his notes. We did a quick Google search and found that some of the wine pairings were vegan, but not for all courses. Why the wine guy couldn 't use a search engine is beyond me. The food was disappointing and not especially filling. The meals with animal products appeared to be prepared with more flavour, satisfying portion sizes, and value as other reviewers have noted. We never even saw any of the promised canapes at the beginning of the meal, and when the coffee and petit fours arrived at the end it took more nagging to discover if they were vegan or not (surprise, they were not). The candles, flower arrangements, and live music were spectacular, but were really let down by the food and service. I 'm mystified as to why the wine guy, who contributed nothing, received greater applause for his ramblings than the musician who spent the entire evening entertaining us. Sadly, I 'm not sure I would repeat the experience or recommend The Secret Herb Garden as a wedding venue as a result. Vegetarian options: Not recommend. Wheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair friendly."
