    As New Yorkers, we have pretty high standards when it comes to dining, and we were truly pleased with the food. Everything was outstanding—the beef carpaccio was the best we’ve ever had, and the salmon was a 10/10. Highly recommend!

    Amazing service, ambience. I’m not a very adventurous eater so the tasting menu was a great choice for someone to try new flavours.

    It was our first time dining at Botanist. We enjoyed the appetizers, but the entrees were just ok nothing special. Our server was friendly, and the decor was nice.

    Celebrated a birthday at Botanist and had a wonderful time. The flavour profiles were complex and layered, while the beverages were wonderful! Brendan was incredibly helpful and fun to banter with. Highly recommend for any occasion, or none at all!

    Best meal ever. We did the tasting menu and wine pairing. From the sommelier to the bar tender to our server (same as som - Matthew) to meeting Chef Hector everything was top notch. Vero our bartender was amazing and so welcoming and an amazing mixologist. Get the tasting and wine pairing menu and you won’t regret it!! Thank you for the best meal we’ve had in years!! Thanks Team Botanist for everything!

    The service was fantastic, friendly, welcoming. Lindsay our server was great. The tasting menu was left us speechless, capped off a dessert with a special birthday dessert was such a friendly touch. The food was just amazing. Being a very open seating, the noise a bit loud, but conversation was still managable. Overall will be excited to return again!
