It's hard to put into words just how fabulous the service and meal was at Botanica. So relaxed and enjoyable, we're counting the days until we're back again.

We were a group of ten and were able to have a private room off the main dining area. The dinner was lovely with a wide choice of fresh seasonal choices with some of the vegetable components grown in the restaurant's own garden.

Good service and I mean really good service is so hard to find in the Hunter. These guys should open a training workshop for other restaurants' staff.

We were greeted and served by the loveliest lady, who had a great sense of humour, which helped make the experience even more enjoyable and relaxing. The food was great, from start to finish, and you could... More
