    The environment is great and very well designed. The drinks are among the best I've ever had — if not the best. The food is amazing; every dish was delicious and clearly well thought out. The waiters explained every detail of each dish. There's absolutely nothing to complain about — the entire experience was flawless.

    Exceptional experience- we did the experience cocktails at the bar first, then the 6 course tasting menu. From walking in, the bar staff, drinks, food , service - everything was top notch and delicious. It’s expensive, but for a special occasion absolutely recommend

    What a lovely evening! We were celebrating an anniversary, and it was truly special. Justin had great recommendations for cocktails, entrees, and sides, and we loved everything we ordered! Don’t miss the specialty cocktails on the first few pages of the menu— they make The Botanist a unique place! We loved the lamb and the black cod, and we enjoyed visiting with Sandy, the general manager. Everyone made us feel so welcome. Looking forward to our next visit!

    We liken to is restaurant alot and plan to return soon. The food was excellent and the area we were seated in was nice; just off the main part of the restaurant. Staff were friendly. Server a little too talkative but otherwise it was a nice Mother’s Day dining experience.

    What a beautiful evening at Botanist. I've been wanting to try it for a few years, and when I learned my sister would be in town for her birthday, we decided to celebrate. This is the first culinary experience I've had in Vancouver after 7 years that meets the culinary experiences I was having in Washington DC and New York - I'm so happy to have finally found something luxuriously wonderful. The highlights were the cocktails and the desserts. Also, the tagliatelle appetizer was spectacular. All of our mains were just a touch off on balance, but still very high quality. We ordered every dessert plus one off menu and that was the right decision by far. Every bite was perfection. The staff were all friendly, warm, attentive, without hovering or being haughty (as can sometimes happen in finer establishments). They may have been my favourite part of the entire experience. We will be back.
