" Had a quaint dinner at Botanica; I enjoyed the atmosphere and food. The only drawback was the limited menu options available that night, as they had run out of several dishes. But what we sampled was delicious! The steak I had was tender, and the bar offers a rather extensive selection of gins! Great place overall, I'll be back. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant is a hidden gem! Botanica has a lovely atmosphere, adorned with tasteful decorations that transport you straight to France. I ordered the halibut, and it was grilled perfectly, flaky and fresh, accompanied by seasonal vegetables. The cocktails, particularly the signature gin drinks, are elegantly crafted. I loved how the staff made thoughtful recommendations that enhanced our meal. Perfect for a special occasion or simply a night out. Can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Although I had high hopes, I left Botanica feeling quite underwhelmed. The food presentation was beautiful, but the flavors didn’t quite entice me as I expected. I ordered the steak frites, and it was decent, but the sauces felt less flavorful than I am accustomed to in traditional French cuisine. The atmosphere was lovely though! Perhaps I just caught them on an off night. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Botanica was delightful! My date and I shared several appetizers, including the rabbit croquettes, which were among the best I've ever had. Each dish we tried showcased a wonderful balance of flavors and textures. The cocktails are crafted with such creativity; for someone who usually doesn't care for gin, I was pleasantly surprised! The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it a lovely place for a night out. " (*Curated Review*)

" Truly stunning experience! Every dish we ordered was a work of art, especially the chocolate soufflé, which literally melted in my mouth. The staff went out of their way to accommodate my dietary restrictions, offering fantastic alternatives without compromising on taste. I was a bit taken aback by the portion sizes, but it was so good that I wanted to savor every bite. I'd love to return and explore more of their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" A delightful evening spent at Botanica! Each dish felt carefully curated with attention to detail. The flavors rang true to their French roots, making it a true representation of what a fine dining experience should be. The only downside was the small seating area, which makes for an intimate vibe but can get loud. Nevertheless, I look forward to coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a great time at Botanica last week! The food was phenomenal, we couldn't have asked for a better dinner date. I loved how they curated the menu to reflect seasonal offerings and the taste was superb. The intimate atmosphere made it special too, though it did get a little crowded when we arrived. Overall, a fabulous experience! " (*Curated Review*)
