Nice change up from Bakersfield's typical & honestly not overly pricy. Service was a bit slow & had to be reminded about at least 1 order after 20 minutes of waiting. Ordered an aviator Martini & had two different mixologists & two different servers come ask me about the drink, & there were two crucial ingredients missing.

Periodic visitor. Great smashburger. Good cocktails. Nice environment but lately staff seem to have put a stick up their a**.
Place is seemingly becoming pretentious. Two nights in a row and had the same experience

The Botanist is a downtown treasure…such a charming atmosphere that reminds of restaurants on my travels to Europe. Emily our server was so personable and really made us feel welcome. She recommended the Botanist Loaded Fries and they phenomenal..everything we ate and the seasonal hand crafted cocktails were suburb. Definitely give this place a try you will not be disappointed!

Fabulous dining experience. Food was delicious, staff were kind and attentive, but it is VERY dark. We had to bring out my phone's flashlight to read the menu.
