    We had a leaving event/celebration at the Botanica and they Romy and the team were brilliant. As is normally the case number of attendees changed, people got held up and were late for dinner, but none of this was too much trouble. The service was brilliant and the food was good too.

    This restaurant was lovely. The staff are warm and welcoming. The ambience was relaxed, and the decor was pretty and bright. The food was delicious, and I highly recommend the pan-fried bream. A delicious meal indeed. My partner had the cod and chips. It was crispy and well cooked. As it was my partner's birthday, they even gave him some chocolate brownie on a decorative plate, which was unexpected but lovely.

    The service was amazing and good food at very reasonable prices. We were very happy. Only issue was that Open table allowed us to make a reservation before the kitchen was open. However they agreed to serve us which was very kind

    We arrived early and got a table which was great. However our drinks order was wrong - we ordered 2 x margarita and a glass of Sauvignon blanc with tap water for the table; 1 x margarita and 3 glasses of Sauvignon blanc turned up with 4 glasses, bottle of stilled water. The drinks were rectified and we didn’t bother about changing the water situation. The risotto was too wet, the penne was overcooked; the fish goujons were okay, but flakey enough. The steak and the halloumi were very good. The chips were well done too. The staff tried to clear our table we were finished, and we weren’t in the mood for dessert as we felt like we were rushed out… even though the restaurant was not busy.

    I arrived at the restaurant only to find that the kitchen was closed at 4.30pm and could only have drinks. Thank goodness there is a fantastic Turkish restsurant next door where you can have food all day, excellent service and delicious deserts. I think there is a serious problem with booking system. The system allowes you to book but does not fulg out the fact that there us no food available at certain times.
