    What a lovely evening! We were celebrating an anniversary, and it was truly special. Justin had great recommendations for cocktails, entrees, and sides, and we loved everything we ordered! Don’t miss the specialty cocktails on the first few pages of the menu— they make The Botanist a unique place! We loved the lamb and the black cod, and we enjoyed visiting with Sandy, the general manager. Everyone made us feel so welcome. Looking forward to our next visit!

    I always look forward to dining at Nightingale and today was another fantastic experience! I love entertaining clients here as they are always excited to be invited because they either already love it or they have heard about it and have been wanting to go. The service is very friendly and approachable, and the menu is fantastic with every dish being super flavour-forward and delicious.

    Incredible food and service. They made one minor error on one of our dishes and I mean minor. As a result of this, they took off all the cost of our main dishes. This was not expected and wasn’t necessary. They stated that they did not meet their own standards. Incredible. Will definitely go back. Loved our server, she attended to all our dietary needs.
