I've been to the restaurant a few times, always enjoy it. The menu and staff have been paired down. The waitress was great, but service was slow, I didn't see another server.

The servers were nice, but they seemed understaffed. The food was decent but nothing special, and you couldn't get a alcoholic beverage for brunch.

Nice quiet place for dinner after a long day. Comfort food and great service

Went for our friend’s birthday, a 7pm reservation on a Tuesday intending to have a drink up on rooftop and dinner downstairs. The rooftop bar closes at 6:00 or 6:30, so that wasn’t possible. OK so maybe a cocktail poolside? Nope! That one is closed too! Such a shame, the rooftop has a beautiful view and the poolside bar is so inviting. We were bummed! Dinner service was ok, I know that this is a new restaurant so gave some leeway, but was a little confusing. I felt like we were handed off to a few people. Our “main” server (?) was very sweet but not too knowledgeable about the menu or the wine. The snapper that I ordered was good, flavors were nice and it was not dry. The rice it was served on was not great, it was flavorless and not cooked well. I will try again in the future - they have a great spot and I think there are some kinks to work out. They are Good, but have the potential to be Great.

Made a reservation for Sunday brunch at 11:45. Once we arrived we learned they don’t offer brunch and even on Sundays only have breakfast until 11:00 am. This information should be listed on listing.

This place has potential but the workers act like it opened yesterday (we asked and they said they had been open for over a year). When we arrived for a 7:30 reservation, the place was empty and they said we needed to wait for the hostess to return in order to be seated. We had a round of drinks at the bar while we waited for the hostess. After being seated, we then had to wait for a server, and the server was not very attentive (and did I mention we were the only ones eating in the restaurant?). Food was just ok.

We visited the Botanic because of the reviews about their accommodation for allergies. The food was great and the service was also fantastic. They met with us directly to discuss our daughter’s allergy needs, which was very important to us. The ambiance was so-so…but we enjoyed our experience and will go back again.

The food was clean and beautiful. The drinks were fantastic (a little expensive). The service was great and perfectly timed. We highly recommend!!

Great !! Love it !!

Service awful , no one knew anything about their jobs , passed out drunk people being over served at bar . Food awful do not come here yet
