Great place to eat and drink. Lively and good atmosphere. The food was fantastic, I had the crispy chicken burger with loaded fries, and it was full of flavour and 2 big pieces of actual chicken. Good selection of drinks and cocktails. Service was friendly and quick.

Food was fantastic and the service top notch. I took my international colleagues here and they all loved it.

Stopped in while shopping on a Saturday afternoon, we didn't have a booking so had to sit in the bar area which was fine, I have chosen the hallumi kebab with fries and a botanist lemonade which came to about £21, the drink was over £5 alone. The food came quite quickly, and the drink I got while placing my order. Everything was very delicious. My only concerns were portion sizes when it came to the drink it was a narrow glass mostly filled with ice, so I feel the price was very steep for that. Overall, though, I would visit again and enjoyed my time there. Great friendly service from both bar staff and waitresses.

Held my 18th birthday party here, and had a great time! The atmosphere was amazing with good background music, and the service by the waitresses were great!! Took 30 friends for a meal, and spent about £500 overall. Individually, the food was quite expensive, but you do get quite a lot for what you've ordered. I do recommend visiting if the menu is your style of food, but if not, I recommend visiting solely for the atmosphere as the inside of the two-floored restaurant was beautiful!

I came to the restaurant on Sunday and ordered the vegetarian option on the Sunday menu. After eating the majority of the food. I had realised there’s bits of pink in it which I’d complain to the waitress. The manager then came over to explain that a new chef in the kitchen had mixed bacon in with the only vegetarian option on the menu, I have been a vegetarian for almost 10 years, partly due to personal reasons and personal health reasons after this visit I had felt quite poorly and was overall really disappointed as the botanist was one of my favourite restaurants! The management had dealt the situation really well, but I was really disappointed that the head chef had not come out to apologise as it was a really big mistake to make by the time I’d eat ordered and eaten in the dish is was 14:30, assuming multiple vegetarian options had gone out with bacon in it unnoticed. I’m only giving this a one star review as the front of House staff managed the chefs poor mistakes and poor lack of accountability well. This photo was taken prior to me eating the meal and I and it’s gone to notice as it’s not a very lit up restaurant and I didn’t really think to check before eating the only vegetarian option on the menu.
