Great food and service! Loved the cocktails that came with the 3-course brunch. Our server was personable, fantastic service. Loved the steak tartare and the potatoes that came with the lamb poutine and lobster eggs benedict. The hazelnut mousse was also terrific. Very nice décor and ambiance. I would definitely come here again!

Was excited to go but disappointed in the service and food/drinks were average. Had 3 course brunch menu and for the price, I would have preferred to go elsewhere and have less but better quality food. Food came before the drinks.

This was a special 21st Birthday celebration for a recent Culinary graduate who has very high standards for both taste and plating. Every dish was exceptional, beautiful, and generous with portions. She absolutely loved Botanist. They sent dessert with a candle and complimentary champagne which was very kind. Fabulous restaurant with a new forever fan!

From the very moment, we entered the restaurant space, we were treated like royalty. Our server, we can’t remember his name but he was amazing!!! We chose the tasting menu and it’s probably the best meal we’ve experienced in a restaurant. It was truly a special experience and we felt truly looked after.

Drinks were not good. Food was decent but not worth price unfortunately. Service was poor, our server took long to attend to us, barely made rounds and did not even refill water until end of our reservation. The ambiance was nice.

We were seated in the Garden area, a beautiful spot at Botanist. We enjoyed the live piano music. All the food were beautifully plated, had wonderful flavors and were done right. There is a good variety of dishes in their small menu. The staff were all polite and friendly. Easy to book in advance.

An exceptional night with excellent service. Had a dinner for two. Botanist is great for business dinners or a night out with friends or a spouse / date. Filip was our server and he was attentive, friendly, and personable. Recommended: - Go for the cocktails. Much Needed Escape, Lost in Translation, and Council of Trees - all fantastic. - Starters: loved the Grilled Octopus and the Duck Prosciutto wrapped Scallops. We also had the Smoked Carrot salad, which we enjoyed. - Entrees: I had the Pork Chop in the Mole sauce. The sauce is delicious. The dish used to be a duck instead of a pork chop. The duck was better, but the pork chop was still good and the portion was a good size. My guest had the vegetable ragu, ricotta salata, pine nuts, basil, CAVATELLI - and loved it. - We had three desserts (yes, three): highly recommend the WARM PEAR CRANBERRY TART and the APPLE PECAN CAKE. The four chocolate squares, we would recommend passing in in favour of the aforementioned. Thank you Filip for the awesome suggestions and guidance. Wishing you and your wife all the best. We will be back.
