A gentleman was playing a saxophone. Enjoyed our meal then set by the fire. We'll definitely be going back.

We kept hearing about Botanic being people's favorite restaurant in town, but we unfortunately didn't have the experience others have had. All the servers was very polite and nice. No complaints there. Cesar salad and bread (3 different types of butter) were actually very good. Entrees however we weren't a fan. We ordered their chicken with Brussel sprouts and sweet potato along with the marry me tortellini pasta with chicken. Both chickens in each dish were dry. Brussel sprouts lacked flavor and pasta seemed overcooked. Maybe people go for the atmosphere and experience but we definitely didn't get the wow factor with the food

From the hostess to the garden staff absolutely fantastic. There were three of us in our party and each one of us had something different. The salmon was my husband's choice it was very good. My mother in law had the French dip which was very flavorful. I had the adult grilled cheese and a cup of the soup of the day another great choice. We can't wait until it's warmer to sit outside. The decor is also beautiful.

This was our first time dining here at the Botanic and it was a hit! The atmosphere is very elegant and beautiful. We ordered the Brunch Buffet and it was so delicious, definitely did not disappoint. We will be back again...

The ambiance and attention to details are superb. From the amazing brioche, to the Nashville hot style fried oysters and the lobster and grits, every dish was both inventive and delicious! The smoked old fashioned is unique with the smoke coming from the ice cube- it get smokier as the ice cube dilutes in the cocktail. This business model is also interesting, as there is a garden store, coffeshop and other models on property. They pick the herbs from the garden that they add to the dishes. They are also intensely focused on hyper local cuisine. All these elements add up to a phenomenal experience that you should not miss.

Best atmosphere ever. Love the music and the setting amongst all the plants. The coffee, quiche, and pastries selection is so good. Thinking put on five pounds. LOL!

‘For the table’ is perfect. ‘Composed plate’ doesn’t meet our expectations, quite disappointed, especially compared to the appetizer. I will visit again, but I will only order appetizers, not entrees.

Great food, service for special occasions, the specialty drinks are amazing. Warm nights call for live music on the patio.

Such an incredible venue. Responsive staff who is there to ensure your dining experience is memorable and impeccable. You cannot find a nicer restaurant to celebrate any event. The menu is diverse and will accommodate anyone's cravings! There is live entertainment almost every night. Beautiful grounds to walk and enjoy. With a most delightful gift shop and an awesome nursery. I cannot dine here without bringing home a tray of gorgeous plants for my own garden. They will also special order or rep you informed if you are waiting on something special to come in!

Botanic is breathtaking from the moment you walk in. The menus even had a "Welcome (Name) Party" printed on them. The homemade break and butter samplings were delish. I had the filet mignon and it was delicious. The only hiccup was. The overcooked chicken on my friend's salad. They brought her another piece but not another salad. So she ate the salad while waiting for the fresh chicken then a solo chicken breast arrived. That was odd. But the fresh chicken was good, she said.
