The food was very mediocre . Our server was great and attentive . Their burger costs 37 bucks !!! Their Caesar Salad is anything but Caesar salad ! They try too hard to make things look different and fancy . Their beef tartare was not bad but lacked the usual beef tartare taste ! Instead of focusing on presentation too much maybe they should focus on how their food tastes ! Altogether a 6/10

Had the chef's tasting menu and was impressed by the development of flavors and complexity from one course to the next. Was delighted for the Uni risotto and the aged duck. Wine pairing was worth it. Service from Larry was excellent, and the Soms were charismatic. Would definitely recommend!

Are Here on the last day of a trip for our anniversary. It was an outstanding experience we had the tasting menu. Every dish was perfect and unlike anything we had ever had before. special shout out to the duck, which was to die for. Larry was our server he was so kind and knowledgeable about every dish. He made the experience truly magical.

Visited Botanist on my birthday, and I had an amazing experience. Great service, and the food was really tasty. They had a great selection of cocktails. I tried "what the flower" and it was really good. Highly recommended. Their presentation of dishes are amazing, and it matches the quality. Great option for a date night or special occasions.

Beautiful place with great service. The atmosphere was cozy and ideal for dating. They had a pianist playing live there which was very nice. He played some of the Hayao Miyazaki's movie music, which made it even nicer.For the food, we had mixed feelings. We got the tasting menu. The presentation was nicely done but the taste was a hit and miss.The "oyster but not oyster" dish was interesting but had a weird taste. The soup was very nice. The fish was good but not outstanding as what would be expected from a tasting menu. The uni risotto was odd with a really strong and unbalanced flavour. However I did enjoy the taste of the 6-month aged beef prosciutto from the risotto dish. The 20-day aged duck was the highlight of the tasting menu. It's probably one of the best duck dishes I have had so far.For the dessert, the mushroom marshmallows had a fun texture but were too heavy. I think the tasting menu would be better without it. The orange tart was, however, very nice and enjoyable.We feel like the tasting menu was not worth it. If we go back, we'd just order the duck and try out other dishes on the menu, instead of going with the tasting menu.

Food was amazing. We had the salmon belly and it was cooked to perfection. Some of the best service I’ve experienced at a restaurant.

Went to take a shot at this place, but I was very disappointed. Food was bland and expensive for what it was. Presentation was nice, service was slow, there are better places out there that are a bang for your buck. No idea how this place is a 4/5 should be like a 3/5 instead.

Amazing and fun! Couldve stayed all night sad it was only a quick stop before another dinner reservation. If youre going for a quick drink you have to ask for the bar! Larger menu and bar exclusive cocktails!
We had their tasting menu as it it came highly recommended by friends. In general, the food and presentation was excellent. The wine pairing was done so beautifully. Glad we are staying at the hotel so we are not driving afterwards. The service form the sommelier was excellent and would recommend choosing the more expensive wine pairing option. For those looking for a 5 course meal or to celebrate a special occasion, this is an excellent choice. The food portions are just enough that we do not feel too full or heavy after a 5 course meal. However, we are unlikely to return as our server (Avital) was unfortunately became a distraction to our meal. We dined at the Botanist 3 times during our stay and other servers were professional for breakfast and lunch. Our server at dinner had an unfriendly attitude and did not provide information needed for our tasting menu. Dishes served were not introduced properly and in general service was quite rough. I recommend Botanist to either enhance their staff training in customer service or look into improvements in proper staffing.

Had the best experience, from the moment the hostess greeted us to the end of our meal. We got a beautiful private room and our server jayzee was amazing. He's been our server a few times and he's always a vibe! Can't wait for our next brunch!
