Absolutely a breath of fresh air. My wife and I came here from montgomery and stumbled on here after a need for coffee. The service was with a smile and was greeted immediately. Coffee and scones were better than Starbucks and the out side is covered in outdoor peace. This is truly a hidden gem in the middle of a busy town.

The food “used to” be great, and “ used to” have good customer service, now they give you attitude when you ask for water, and charge you for it. Why would I pay for sink water ? And the bakery food quality and taste went down, not as fresh anymore, the smoothie I got the last two times were asked to be remake because first it didn't taste right, it was alot.ofnice, not flavor, and second the fruits were not fresh, they even admitted that they had to use up blueberries that did look bad...Why ...Just why...Buffalo chicken dip from the fridge section was expired when I bought it... Sucks.This place use to be great! My kids and friends love to go there to hangout, but now it's not worth the time and money

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.

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!

Great food & service. We had a reserved table for ten for each home football game & every thing was OUTSTANDING! Bone end pork chop was my favorite, but all dishes are great.

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.

The entire property is stunning & the food was amazing!! We celebrated my best friends birthday & our server was the best. Would definitely recommend and return (:

This is a remarkable place. I loved everything about it. The service was impeccable! The food, though expensive, was very tasty! The pork belly burnt ends appetizer was just outstanding. The steak and salmon were both delicious. Each room of this restaurant had a different, but very cozy atmosphere. I loved all the different textures and ceilings. Truly a work of art.

This is a special place. To have a restaurant such as this in your local area truly is a treat! There is a delightful atmosphere created by the abundant floral arrangements across the property. The breakfast, dinner, and breakfast bar are all wonderful. The breakfast bar is a less expensive option, but do not let that make you think you are missing out on quality. Everything that I have ordered there has been amazing. Fruit tarts, breakfast casserole, and lemon bars are phenomenal. The regular breakfast and dinner options have so many exceptional options to choose from! The servers are all wonderful and check on you frequently. I recommend this restaurant to anyone in the Auburn-Opelika area, as well as others who are enjoyers of fine dining that may live elsewhere. This restaurant is definitely worth to go out of your way for.
