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.

No one can ever say that the atmosphere here is missing something. It is perfect, from the patterns on the ceiling and floor, the color and staff. Execution perfect, the food was very good. I had the fried green tomato salad that was not too petty to eat and was able to get a picture before it was all gone. The waiter was very knowledgeable and could explain each dish so we could figure out what to try first. Would love to see more vegan options but found enough to fill us up. Walking around the garden is a plus.

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.

Our server was so personable and gracious. She recommended the salmon because of its mild, fresh flavor. Her recommendation was spot on! It was the best salmon I have ever had. The food preparation and presentation for all of the meals at our table was top tier. Everyone from the manager to the hostess to the young man pouring water made our evening pleasurable despite some initial confusion with our reservation.

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!

Beautiful place with excellent service. Everyone working there was so nice to us and attentive. It’s located on a pond/lake that is so pretty. On the walk in to the Grille, you pass through the indoor garden which is so pretty. Then on the walk out you can go through the market which is like a cute general store type thing. And the food was wonderful. We got the pimento cheese appetizer, which had pimento cheese, bacon jam, crostini, and pickles. It was very good. Then our party had the Blackened Salmon, Chicken Fried Chicken, Grilled Chicken, and Corn Orecchiette with chicken. All of our entrees were excellent. Overall I highly recommend

Nice atmosphère and decent service. But at the price point for the food, they fall way short. We had the filet mignon and ribeye, maybe they do better with the fish but the steaks should be good and cooked perfectly if you are going to charge $60 for them. Recommend to keep to the bakery and garden side of things and not waste money at the grille.

I visited here with my friend and my husband. This is by far the best brunch area around. I am a local to the area grown and raised. When we found the botanic we loved the atmosphere so we came to their restaurant. I have tried the other brunch places around but this one amazed me. The food was so good. We were able to eat outside on this porch like area by a large body of water with ducks swimming. The waiter was so nice and played around with us! It felt like the southern comfort family like atmosphere I love about my town area. I have not tried the dinner, but the brunch I recommend everything tastes fresh as if they just picked it off the plants. This is a great place for brunch lovers and mimosa drinkers!

Servers were friendly and attentive. The restaurant setting is gorgeous including the exterior. However, the bread and flavored butters were the highlight of the meal. Food was very lacking in flavor, which to me is unacceptable for the price point.

Over-rated! Pleasant atmosphere with good service. However entrees were marginal at best. Food was served luke warm, very little flavor, and overly cooked. Pricing is extreme. This was our second visit to this restaurant and have been disappointed on both occasions. We won’t be returning.
