    The food was even better than expected, and the prices were very reasonable. My friend and I parted ways, saying, "Let's meet here again!"

    Fantastic friendly service, I wish we got the waitresses name but she was so lovely and really looked after us all and even arranged a little bday cake for my sister as we was celebrating her 30th.

    Fabulous waitress did her best to cover for the menu being very poor and limited. Nothing like the website, on which basis this was booked for a party of 11.
    The Botanist, Broadgate CircleResponded on 7 October 2026
    Thank you for your feedback, and we’re very sorry that the menu affected your experience. There was an error with Google pulling through an old version of our menu, which unfortunately meant the information shown online did not reflect our current menu. We sincerely apologise for the confusion and disappointment this caused. The issue has now been rectified. We’re pleased to hear that you enjoyed the starters, and we’ll also pass on your kind words to your waitress for doing her best to look after you. We really hope we have the opportunity to welcome you back again.

    Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re pleased to hear you enjoyed the lunch and found it to be good value and tasty. We’re sorry, however, that the service was slow and inattentive during your visit. This is certainly not the experience we aim to provide, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide the attentive service you deserve.

    We were greeted by our waitress and host, Rebecca who really looked after us, despite it being Thirsty Thursday in the City, she was super attentive, remembered our drinks order and was very proactive. True professional. Venue is highly recommended if you want drinks in a buzzy location.
    The Botanist, Broadgate CircleResponded on 22 August 2026
    We really appreciate the lovely review. We're delighted our team looked after you on Thirsty Thursday and that your server was attentive, remembered drinks and stayed proactive. We’re pleased you enjoyed the buzzy location and recommendation. We hope to welcome you back soon for more drinks and good times.

    We went on a hot Thursday evening. At this time The Botanist is a bar, it’s not somewhere to go for dinner. The music inside was so loud you have to shout to hear each other. We had to leave and walked past tables of people having to eat in silence. We were really disappointed as I’d seen the one in Marlow and wanted to try it out. The bar was buzzing if thats what you’re after.
    The Botanist, Broadgate CircleResponded on 15 August 2026
    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your experience didn't meet your expectations. On certain evenings, particularly during the warmer months, The Botanist can have a more vibrant and lively atmosphere, with music playing throughout the venue. We understand that this may not be ideal for guests looking for a quieter dining experience, and we're sorry that the noise level affected your visit. We appreciate your feedback and hope you'll consider visiting us again in the future, perhaps at a quieter time of day, so we can provide a more enjoyable experience

    A lovely restaurant in a great location, but I won't be going back. The menu choice was very limited and the drinks we ordered were unavailable. There was little engagement from the staff so we ate and went - I'd hoped for a more engaging lunch with better ambience but got a very average experience.

    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed our location, but we're sorry that your visit didn't meet your expectations. We recently introduced a new menu, and we're disappointed to hear that you found the selection limited and that some of your chosen drinks were unavailable during your visit. We're also sorry that the service felt less engaging than you had hoped. Creating a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere is something we strive for, and it's clear we fell short on this occasion. We truly value your comments and will share them with our team as we continue to refine our menu and guest experience. Thank you again for your honest feedback, and we hope you'll consider visiting us again in the future.

    A very disappointing evening. The service was beyond disappointing where we given exceedingly warm rose wine, had to chase multiple times for service and reorder our food because after a significant wait I had to remind the waitress of our food order and she admitted to having forgotten to place the order. The lack of attention to detail and making sure the various tables had the correct order in a timely manner; means that I will not be going back.
    The Botanist, Broadgate CircleResponded on 14 August 2026
    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're very sorry to hear that your evening did not meet expectations. The level of service you describe is certainly not the standard we aim to provide. Your comments regarding attentiveness and attention to detail have been noted and will be shared with our team so that we can learn from this experience and improve. We understand how frustrating this must have been and are disappointed that we left you with such a poor impression. Thank you again for your honest feedback, and we hope we may have the opportunity to provide you with a much better experience in the future.
