    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!

    Food was exquisite and service excellent. Wine choice was limited and very expensive. 28$ for a glass of wine or $100 for a standard bottle is overpriced especially if alcohol is included for tipping. It would be nice to see more Canadian selections. Open Table needs to update the pricing category from $$$ to $$$$. The choice of music was more for a bar atmosphere than a romantic dining experience and much too loud for conversation over dinner.

    We celebrated my birthday dinner there and ordered chef menu. Six dishes without any surprises for both taste and presentation. The portion was somewhat in the smaller range. A bit disappointed. Our server was attentive. Overall, we didn’t feel the value was worth it. Maybe the food on regular menu is safer choice to order.
