" Having been to Botanica multiple times, I must say it never disappoints. The essence of French cuisine is preserved beautifully in each dish. Their attention to detail is apparent, even in the presentation. The staff is genuinely friendly, creating a welcoming vibe. I appreciate the small yet carefully crafted menu that keeps things interesting. A great choice whether for a casual dinner or a celebration! " (*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*)

" I had the pleasure of dining here last week and was delighted by the vibrant flavors in every dish! The staff seemed genuinely excited to share the menu recommendations, which felt personal and thoughtful. My duck confit was outstanding, rich, and savory, pairing beautifully with a carefully selected gin cocktail. An absolute fine dining experience worth the visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Botanica truly lives up to its reputation. The dishes meticulously prepared and served with elegance. I was thrilled to see a chef who takes pride in their craft. The only challenge was getting in as the restaurant seems to draw quite a crowd! It’s a place you’ll want to arrive early or make a reservation; it becomes clear why it’s a favorite of many! " (*Curated Review*)

" Not impressed, unfortunately. I had heard great things but my experience at Botanica didn’t live up to the hype. The food just did not have that extra flair and the service was good but not attentive enough for a fine dining spot. I’d say this is more basic than its reputation would suggest. Yet, it did have a pleasant ambiance. " (*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*)
