Loved Botanica restaurant for dining and breakfast. Three course dinner on our first night, complimentary glass of bubbles on arrival as we were celebrating our first wedding anniversary. The quality of the food and service was faultless. All three courses were amazing - loved the duck and the lemon curd pie dessert is to die for... Chef Mark freshly picks... More

We have eaten here on 3 ocassions and the food is fantastic. Would drive there just to eat again. More

The food here was amazing, well prepared and delicious. Of particular note was their home-made bread, baked using a 'Mother' yeast which has been alive for over 50 years or longer, I forget exactly.

I really wonder who is writing the reviews for this restaurant. It is really overated and overpriced. The atmosphere is lovely and the service is excellent. However when we arrived we were assured over and over again that we did not have a reservation. The restaurant was far from busy on a mid week Wednesday in March. We were eventually... More
