About The Market at Botanic

Located in a bustling town, this charming restaurant is a hidden gem that offers a refreshing atmosphere. The service is friendly and prompt, with a smile. The menu features a range of dishes, including the salmon, French dip, adult grilled cheese, and lobster and grits. Every dish is inventive and delicious, with ingredients picked from the on-site garden. The decor is beautiful, especially during the holiday season when the sparkling lights and foliage create a romantic, Hallmark-movie-like setting. The outdoor surroundings add to the peaceful ambiance. The restaurant offers a unique cocktail menu that changes with the seasons, and the handcrafted cocktails are highly praised. The fried glazed Brussel sprouts are incredible, with a sweet apple cider glaze and whipped goat cheese. The Fried Green Tomato & Burrata stands out as the best dish, with its perfect textures and sauces. The Grown-Up Grilled Cheese was surprisingly light on cheese, but the Open Faced French Dip, with its spot-on au jus, offers a creative twist on a classic. Dessert options like the Banana Pudding Cheesecake are delicious, though some wished for more caramelized bananas. The staff provides top-notch service, and the overall atmosphere, from lush gardens to tranquil pond views, makes it a memorable experience. This restaurant is perfect for family celebrations, intimate dinners, and special occasions, always leaving guests eager to return.
