We ate here for restaurant week and were disappointed. The desserts were amazing, but the entrees were average. The mocktails we had were very good. The service was very slow, it took us 2 hours to eat here. For the price, I would not recommend eating here.

Delicious French-inspired cuisine. The Gin selection is extensive (try the Tamsworth botanical sipping gin) but their wine selection is excellent too.
My husband and I often come in and find seats at the bar, but it’s a risk w/o a reservation.
I enjoy more casual dining and lighter fare when I’m at the bar. We often select fresh oysters, a green salad, soup, fresh bread and a cheese tray. Entrees are substantial and great when I’m very hungry.
On my last visit I enjoyed the agnolotti pasta stuffed with ricotta. They were light pillows of pasta touched by a light sauce — divine! I finished my light meal with the Hazelnut Genoise which was a pleasant palate pleaser. The cake was slightly warmed — both sweet and savory with a plum and caramel sauce. It was the perfect finish!
Finally, the staff are always pleasant and friendly. The restaurant is comfortable and the conversation easily heard with your companions. A great spot for vegetarians and meatatarians alike!

On my last visit I enjoyed the agnolotti pasta stuffed with ricotta. They were light pillows of pasta touched by a light sauce — divine!

I dined here on a weekday evening. Delicious food, excellent service, and an extensive selection of wine and spirits. Ambience and background music was perfect for an evening out.

Fabulous find! Stopped by for a cocktail & stayed for dinner! Inventive gin cocktails. Delicious meals with beautiful presentations! We had a lamb appetizer that was so succulent. The duck confit – melt in your mouth! Our oysters were just good but we’re spoiled . The arctic char was fabulous! For dessert we had the chocolate souffle and the creme caramel – yum! My father wants to bring friends back there! I think it’s his new favorite restaurant. Also nice to note that the staff were very helpful with my gluten & dairy allergies. Great place for a date!

Great experience! Food and drink were excellent. The venue is very small but very chic. It was raining when we went so we sat indoors. The bar area looked like a great date spot. I went with a party of 4 and we got a handful of appetizers (the half shell oysters were my favorite) and every entree on the menu LOL!! I had 2 of the gin cocktails and liked both! We ended with the Chocolate souffle and it was so fluffy and moist.

Great meal here after a long day of travel. Flavors were so unique and delicious. Really good veggie options. The two women serving/running the ship were lovely. House Martini was excellent.

We visited during Portsmouth restaurant week and I highly recommend Botanica. The meal was a three course set menu. I had the Gin salmon with beets and red onions, a light and easy starter dish. The duck confit which was amazing, crispy skin with tender meat served with Parisian gnocchi and chocolate souffle (not pictured). The tan Negroni (also not pictured) was the best cocktail of the night.

Amazing dinner last night! They squeezed us into the bar, it is indeed a tiny space and advanced reservations are very recommended (online reservations close at 4pm the day of). Had a delicious meal at the bar, drinks were great and food was spectacular. Highlights were bar snack smoked trout pate, duck liver mousse, pork belly, duck confit, and agnolotti. Oh that the soufflé! Service was attentive but not hovering and we were able to have an intimate experience without being too much. Would 1000% recommend and will be going back in a different season to try new seasonal stuff!!!
