First time here, with two friends for a dinner. We ordered mixed grill plate with beefsteak, it was really delicious but the steak was a bit overdone. Also got the spicy meatballs - absolutely the best put of all the meat we tried. Had some Argentinian and Chilean wine, first one was good, second one not so much. Prices are reasonable unless you go for the most expensice steak. The garden looks amazing and will come back in summer for sure to check it out. Interior is also very nicely decorated, very cozy. Parking is limited and a bit difficult to enter from the street.

Beautiful restaurant with a big patio and outdoor seating in the shade. A few vegetarian options and the food was very tasty and of good quality. The playground was gorgeous and the service very attentive and friendly.

This was my first time in Botanist and I am beyond grateful for the opportunity to be here. Delicious food and great service. Pasticada was the reason I came here and you have my recommendation for this amazing traditional dish. It literally melts in your mouth. Dear Botanist, thank you for having me and I will be back soon! And don’t forget to ask for the story behind two lamps in love in the backyard.

Very nice place, cozy, nice food. Parking inside, not so visible on the first pass, there's hotel and Pablo's bar in front. Visit the bar for cocktails afterwards. We went for Restaurant week and sat inside but obviously beautiful place for summer with big terrace and outside area that is decorated very nicely. Inside cozy, nice service, good food. Good for a date or just a nice lunch or dinner. We enjoyed it a lot. Good prices also.
