February 2025Great atmosphere, interesting building. Staff very welcoming. We had food, can recommend the cauliflower cheese side and the Lamb Kofta. Reasonable prices. We went as walk in, best to book a table though.

February 2025Amazing experience simply because of Tom our waiter. Extremely kind and professional man, he made valentines very special for me and my boyfriend, bringing all the banter and great service with regular and not too many checkbacks! Food was amazing also with good wait times. The lady the in beginning also explained the menu very well to us.. so nice wish we could’ve gotten her name! All the staff were kind actually! Our server Tom was the absolute best please appreciate him, wish there was a system where we could tip solely our waiter but overall it was a night to remember! 100% recommend :))

January 2025This is one of the hardest reviews I've had to write and really difficult to decide on a rating. Why? Well the experience was so mixed.... Booking was easy and arrival was fine with a friendly welcome. The ambience is great except the music was a little loud for my taste but that's minor. There was a reasonable choice on the menu given we're vegetarian and our server was efficient and friendly. We sat enjoying our drinks, chatting and peple watching (great view from the balcony). After customers on surrounding tables started being served despite arriving long after us we did start to wonder is something had happened with our order and we were about to enquire when a passing waitress noticed we were still waiting, apologised and went off promising to investigate. A few minutes later a manager came and again apologised offering us drinks whilst we waited. I'm very much of the "these things happen" school of thought so wasn't particularly bothered but we accepted their offer ordering a coffee and a small glass of prosecco (so obviously not taking the micky given the cocktails available). Anyway food eventually arrived and was good. We weren't offered a desert menu and needed to get going as we had tickets for the theatre so ordered the bill and this is where it all went wrong! Yes the "free" drinks were charged for on the bill. The server got flustered and needed to find a manager but by now we really needed to be on our way so I said not to worry and just paid it. I'd like to think that the delayed food was a rariety and being charged for complementary drinks was an honest mistake. So the dilema is what rating do I give the Botanist? Should it be 4 or 5 stars to reflect what almost happened? I considerred this long and hard and it came down to the question "would I go back and give it a second chance?". The answer is no, not if I'm picking up the tab, and I can't honestly recommend others go somewhere I wouldn't go to myself. So sorry Botanist, but it's a rare one star review from me because of that.
