​Reserved exclusively for intimate groups of 2 to 5 guests, this is the most extraordinary Hidden Gazebo experience, a culinary treasure hunt unlike anything else in San Diego.
Inspired by the childhood game of hide and seek, guests embark on a multi-hour journey through our garden, where food becomes part of the adventure. Each course is hidden throughout the sanctuary, in handcrafted Treasure boxes, tucked inside garden corners, or even suspended in nature-inspired nests.
For every discovery, guests receive a riddle or clue leading them to their hidden creation. You have five minutes to find it… or the treasure is lost!
