I thought this food was FAR too expensive for what i got. The dates were dry and tasted like they were old. The vegetarian meal I got had pickled mushrooms in it and it was not good. I would not come back nor would I receommend it to anyone

Plus the ambiance is great, something I'm generally very sensitive to in restaurants. They have both indoor and outdoor seating yay! Both areas are super cute, comfortable, have great lighting, and allow you to actually hear your dinner conversation. Outdoor seating is in a back patio which feels very distant from street, cars, and city activity. This has quickly become my favorite goto for special occasions or really any kind of outing

But not all the food was good. We ordered the fruit bowl described as the “prettiest fruit”.Dry berries and bland options. Felt like I was getting a hand full of fruit from the fridge. The soft scramble was basically runny eggs. I thought they would make legit a soft scramble dish.The gee cooked banana ginger bread slice things were yummy and so was the basil lemonade. The latte’s espresso was so bold it just tasted like double the amount of espresso for a balanced drink. Defiantly don’t recommend this unless you like that cray crack coffee I loved as a teen. I prefer a great pulled shot on ice and a splash of milk. This wasn’t it. As bad as the options we picked. There were defiantly some good notes there to make us possibly return to give it another shot. The cod sounded good. Will skip the coffee and fruit bowl next time

I loved botanica my first visit bc of the fresh green menu, but the service was pretty slow. I just went back and wow. we couldn't get anyone to our table! read more I loved botanica my first visit bc of the fresh green menu, but the service was pretty slow.
