Drinks were not good. Food was decent but not worth price unfortunately. Service was poor, our server took long to attend to us, barely made rounds and did not even refill water until end of our reservation. The ambiance was nice.

We were seated in the Garden area, a beautiful spot at Botanist. We enjoyed the live piano music. All the food were beautifully plated, had wonderful flavors and were done right. There is a good variety of dishes in their small menu. The staff were all polite and friendly. Easy to book in advance.

An exceptional night with excellent service. Had a dinner for two. Botanist is great for business dinners or a night out with friends or a spouse / date. Filip was our server and he was attentive, friendly, and personable. Recommended: - Go for the cocktails. Much Needed Escape, Lost in Translation, and Council of Trees - all fantastic. - Starters: loved the Grilled Octopus and the Duck Prosciutto wrapped Scallops. We also had the Smoked Carrot salad, which we enjoyed. - Entrees: I had the Pork Chop in the Mole sauce. The sauce is delicious. The dish used to be a duck instead of a pork chop. The duck was better, but the pork chop was still good and the portion was a good size. My guest had the vegetable ragu, ricotta salata, pine nuts, basil, CAVATELLI - and loved it. - We had three desserts (yes, three): highly recommend the WARM PEAR CRANBERRY TART and the APPLE PECAN CAKE. The four chocolate squares, we would recommend passing in in favour of the aforementioned. Thank you Filip for the awesome suggestions and guidance. Wishing you and your wife all the best. We will be back.

Great place, terrific server, tasty well-presented food. The gluten free options presented turned out to *not* be gluten free. If that doesn't matter to you place is a home run, if a bit noisy.

Great service from everyone; from the hostess to our server. I’d asked for low sodium preparations and everything was still absolutely delicious. Didn’t love our table in the “garden” section (as they have an open kitchen and I prefer to have that view), but great service and absolutely delightful food that tastes as good as it looks? What’s not to love? Will definitely be back !
