    From the very moment, we entered the restaurant space, we were treated like royalty. Our server, we can’t remember his name but he was amazing!!! We chose the tasting menu and it’s probably the best meal we’ve experienced in a restaurant. It was truly a special experience and we felt truly looked after.

    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.

    Excellent meal overall. Great service, wine and food. A bit noisy for my taste, but everyone seemed to be having fun, so I was probably the outlier. Worth going to.

    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.

    The food and service was good. We were seated in the back near the food expo station and it was very bright and felt like a cafeteria. Not really the vibe I was hoping for for a romantic dinner.
