Had an amazing time tonight at the Botonist, arrived early hoping to sit in the bar for a bit but it was closed due to a wedding party. Turned out this wasnt a problem as our table was ready so we were able to sit down early. Staff were lovely, polite and friendly checking in but giving you space to enjoy your evening without constant checks that you were okay. Would definitely recommend.

Atmosphere is really pleasant, the decoration is lovely. The food is really nice, though not hot enough and the service is a bit slow so i would recommend to reserve earlier in. We needed to pay 6£ the service which we were not warned about. Plus, the portion of rice served with the chicken curry was a bit disappointed… Other than that the waitresses are really pleasant and are making sure you are having a nice time. Still recommend if you need to celebrate an event with you’re family :)

The ambience is great. cocktails, drinks, and wine are of great variety and cocktails are very well done. Most of the food we ordered is tasty, particularly starters and desserts but in contrast to others mentioned about hangling kebabs we didn't like them, they are not hot when served, so we didn't like them, the veg kebabs are better than others but lamb kebabs are felt dried and they are not hot.

Service was amazing given that they seemed to be short staffed. Management need to seriously think about staffing levels though as it affects not only the staff but the whole customer dining experience.

I recently organised a 70th birthday party at the Botanist. Since moving from Leopold Square the Botanist layout and overall decoration is much improved. The bar area has a modern vibe with good views and an outdoor seating area. We received a good welcome from their staff and after drinks we then moved to the restaurant. That’s when the evening went down hill. The food overall was decidedly average and it was served to our table in dribs and drabs. Most of our party complained that their food was not warm. Presentation was poor and the Arancini starter was tasteless and miniature in stature. Having previously visited the Botanist at Leeds l was very disappointed in comparison to the overall quality of our food. Our young waiter was helpful and friendly but the kitchen appears to be where the problem are with the delivery of food to the table slow and unorganised. The restaurant did very little to make the night special for the lady who we organised the party for. General opinion was our party was that the Botanist was a nice place to have a drink but not for a meal. The Botanist needs to raise it game if it has any chance of long term survival in today’s competitive environment.
