    First class experience from the valet parking to the greeting, coat check, welcome and an offer of a glass of Prosecco on arrival , to the quality of food and service. Choice of 2 signature cocktails included in the buffet is a very nice feature. .Baked croissant and muffins, lobster eggs Benedict and bread pudding all divine. Modern, glamorous, casually elegant ambiance. Small wonder Botanist is so popular. Go. You'll be very satisfied.

    Excellent service, ambience and great food. Botanist has the uncanny ability to execute to perfection consistently. Most great restaurants begin to decline over time, but so far the Botanist maintains high standards over years.

    I haven't been to the Botanist in a few years, and I had forgotten about how lovely it is. The space is beautiful and fresh - just good vibes all around. The food is fantastic and overall the presentation of everything is excellent. The service was also exceptional. Really enjoyed my experience and will be bringing more clients to this location.

    Excellent food and the inclusion of two cocktails with the $89 brunch made the whole package more generous than other prix-fixe menus I've had.

    My wife and I had brunch with a friend - we range in age from our 50's to late 60's. For the weekend brunch service, they have a DJ. He played great music, but it was so loud in the area that we were seated, that it definitely detracted from the outstanding food and impeccable service that we received. So if you're looking for a certain "vibe" with your brunch, this may be the perfect spot for you. If you're trying to catch up with a friend that you haven't seen for a while, and your intent is to "talk", than maybe not so much.

    It was the most amazing duck I’ve ever had. A great incorporation of German food and in the way the duck was cooked- with a perfect amount of crunchy fat. Fat is flavor.
