I can not say enough about how great this place is. I now see why they are booked up to 60 days out. My wife’s birthday just happens to fall the same week as Valentines Day so I’m use to most places being booked. Our dinner plans had fallen through at the location we had planned. On the off chance we came to The Grille at Botanic to see if maybe someone couldn’t make their reservation. When I say the staff went about and beyond to get us a table to make her Special Day a success, I mean it! This staff and management is to be commended! The food and service was excellent from beginning to end! We will definitely return and I can’t thank you enough! Superb dining experience!

Fine dining restaurant with beautiful scenery! My husband, my mother in law and myself went here for the first time and was amazed how beautiful it was. Everyone was nice and we had a comfy table. The food was delicious and a great portion size for the price. The only issue we had was my husband said his sandwich tasted like it had no flavor but everything else was amazing!

We celebrated the holidays and a special occasion when are family was in town. The evening was amazing from beginning to end starting with the Birthday Girls name prominently printed on the menu. You can’t beat the atmosphere during the holidays. The lighting is exceptional. Our server was top notch and took excellent care of the party of 8. I can’t say enough about the food. Absolutely delicious and presentation was perfect. Timing of the courses was perfect.

Service and atmosphere help make a good restaurant but the food has to steal the show. To start with, the homemade bread they brought out was amazing but then it went downhill after that. I got the burger which is ground up ribeye so it was nice and tender but it had no flavor and no seasoning at all. I’d lacked presentation and to be honest it just really wasn’t good. And it came with basic fries. The pasta was very bland and didn’t have enough seasoning in it. The bread pudding we ordered for dessert was very dry and lacked enough sauce. I really had high hopes for this place but it just really fell short tonight. Maybe I’ll try it again but I don’t know. For the price you pay, you expect a lot more flavor. a lot. But the atmosphere and service is top notch. I will say Give it a try. Maybe they had an off night when I tried it.

Went on a date to the Grille at the Botanic over the past weekend, and made a reservation for a dinner for 2 in advance. I was excited to go because I’ve been to the Botanic before and its beautiful, and I thought it’d be a great date spot… but as soon as we got there, my date and I were taken to this table in the picture. The table was in a spot w/ very little decorations around. If you’ve ever seen the Botanic, you’d know its beautiful and has a lot of pretty plants, but where this table is has barely any decorations at all, and was a table for 4 which is not conducive to a date. It also is very close to their main door, which is incredibly squeaky and loud. And because its the main door, it is constantly opening and closing. Upon seeing the table, I immediately asked for different seating, but we were told that wasn’t possible. In fact, we were told that if we wanted a table in a specific spot, we could ask when we make our reservations next time. So the entire dinner we just suffered through listening to this loud door, which was just disappointing. Further we were disappointed by the food. I ordered a lamp chop, and my date a red seared snapper. The lamb chop plate was fine, I guess the meat was rather dry, and I don’t think it lived up to its price tag. The sides were some quinoa and asparagus and 3 (three) blackberries. The red seared snapper was good, but the sides for that dish were a few slices of zucchini and white rice. These dishes were both >$50! Our server was nice, but overall I had a disappointing experience at the Botanic and would not recommend it for anybody that has to work hard for their money and wants to treat their date. Better off just going to Publix and getting nice ingredients to make fish, rice, and vegetables at home, and then going to Botanic afterwards to look at the plants. I never bother to write reviews for places, but my mind is genuinely boggled w/ how disappointing the Botanic was in terms of decorations and food. It makes no sense that the outside would be so pretty and that the inside would look like it does. And for some reason they don’t even have live music. Its just some crummy piano that plays itself, and then some recordings of old timey music that clashes w/ the piano so you’re just hearing two totally different songs playing at once. And the squeaky loud door, of course.

Excellent food with a few surprise entree specials! Nostalgic location for the locals but amazing transformation with the renovations, new buildings, gardens, and landscaping that feels almost European. Service was very friendly and courteous but a little slow on this occasion. We will definitely be returning for future meals as the seasons change!

It’s a really great concept. I liked the decore, outdoor garden, and gift shops. The blackened salmon was ok, just a tad too much dill (hidden in the sauce). Wine selection was great! The appetizers were fun and interesting. If I visit again, I’m going to try the filet mignon.

This place was STUNNING!
My husband and I visited the Botanic for our 5th wedding anniversary, and it was everything! To begin with, the grounds are just beautiful. The compound has it’s own greenhouse that you can purchase the most beautiful plants from. The greenery surrounding the restaurant just makes it breathtaking. The restaurant also sits on a little lake, has a patio out back with live music and a bar area, and there is also a Market inside with coffee, pastries, and provisions.
My husband and I went in on a Friday afternoon, without reservations, and maybe waiting about 20 minutes. However, the place was still full and lively. We waited on the patio in the back, ordered a drink, and listened to the live music. Once we were sat, the hostess lead us out to the deck over the lake, best seat in the house. The staff and service were top notch. Everyone was very attentive, kind, happy, hospitable. I think we were asked by each person we encountered if we were celebrating anything, which was a nice touch.
The food was delicious. The homemade bread and herbed butters were phenomenal. We started out with the Pork Belly Burnt Ends. Perfect. My husband ordered the Red Snapper with Concecuh Fried Rice and I had the orecchiette. Both were amazing. For dessert we had the Banana Pudding Cheesecake which was delicious, and the Strawberry Shortcake which could have been better. All and all, I was extremely pleased with our experience at the Botanic and can’t wait to return!
