"The only available reservation times were at 5 or 9 o'clock. When we arrived, the place appeared closed. After waiting for 3 minutes, we had to call for someone to assist us, and eventually, a staff member came up from downstairs, acknowledging our booking. The restaurant was mostly empty, so we expected a warmer welcome. We were shown to our table, but there was a lot of confusion in the corridor as they seemed to be in demand for other reservations. The service was slow, with a long wait before we received our drinks, and we were told our table would need to be vacated by 7 PM. Apparently, this was also communicated to another group that arrived with a reservation. The food was good, and the service improved as the evening went on, but our experience didn’t start off on the right foot. It would be helpful if the booking website noted that reservations are for a maximum of 2.5 hours, which would save awkward conversations about timing upon arrival. Additionally, there was only one unisex bathroom, which lacked a way to indicate whether it was occupied. Overall, it was a good experience, but not an outstanding one."

Amazing food, great service, beautiful decor. It is pricey but this is reflected in the overall experience.

The venue is more beautiful now, but don't expect them to accommodate allergy concerns. It's unfortunate; it's not what it used to be.

The food is outstanding! Creative vegetarian menu with good quality ingredients. Beautiful contemporary design in the restaurant. Service friendly my only feedback would be to be slightly more attentive around extra drinks, water, dessert otherwise sales are lost potentially.

That was an amazing experience! The staff was incredibly attentive, and the atmosphere was very relaxing. I'm not even a vegetarian, but I really loved the food. Almost everything on the menu was gluten-free. I would definitely return. The pricing was also reasonable—£130 for three small plates, two large plates, a glass of wine, two cocktails, two desserts, and the service fee—and we left feeling happily full.

Food and service was outstanding, very well priced. But next time will definitely book directly through the restaurant and not open table. They had obviously been hacked and received a fake phone call from opentable to require a booking deposit. Lots of other reviews from others having the same problem but nothing seems to get done about it. Shame as it had nothing to do with the restaurants and they lose customers. View menu

Went to Botanique for brunch last Saturday. Can safely say in 46 years of living this was the best brunch I’ve ever had. I don’t normally write reviews but felt compelled to after this gastro spectacular. We started with the rosemary and truffle polenta, the accompanying dips were incredible. However the 3 brunch plates we ordered between us (no judgement please) were incredible. Wild mushroom on focaccia with sunflower ricotta was a delight. Fresh and bursting with umami richness. Next the Benedict, with silky smooth hollandaise, smoked aubergine rusher, crispy kale and avocado was insane. Finally the pancakes which the hostess kindly split into two bowls. Wow. These pancakes were phenomena...

**Dining Experience:** Dinner **Price Range:** £40–50 per person **Ratings:** - Food: 5/5 - Service: 5/5 - Atmosphere: 5/5 If you're looking for an excellent dining experience, I highly recommend this restaurant. The food was outstanding, earning a perfect score of 5. The Cacio E Pepe was delightful, and the Triple Cooked Chips were a must-try. The Lions Main Mushrooms were incredibly flavorful, and the Charred Corn Fritter added a wonderful touch. The Aubergine Carpaccio was beautifully presented, and the Fresh Focaccia Bread paired perfectly with the Trio of Accompaniments. The New Potatoes were also a fantastic side. To top off the meal, don't miss the Chocolate Mousse, which...
