    We keep coming to the Botanist and we will. We just love the food and the vibes. Every time we come here, we get octopus and cauliflower. They are just so delicious!! There are also a lot of vegetarian dishes. We always feel welcome. Staff there are very helpful, friendly and professional. I brought my family a few times and this time I brought my friend. I just can't wait to try more dishes next time.

    Food, drinks and atmosphere were all great. Was trying to have a conversation with my friends and we were interrupted too many times to see if we were ok. Other than that, nice place.

    The Botanist is a great little restaurant. The food and service is always excellent. They can even cater the food if you’re are vegan. I love the atmosphere but be prepared it’s a noisy restaurant which I think adds to the fun feel. You can stop in for a great wine or cocktail as there’s a small bar area if you’re not having dinner. A great place to enjoy a night out with friends.

    The Botanist KirribilliOwner

    Hey Louise, thanks so much for taking the time to leave us your thoughts, it means so much to us. We're stoked to hear you enjoy visiting us with friends for dinner and drinks. We do, what we do for that reason! We look forward to welcoming you in on your next night out. Warmest regards, Matty and The Botanist team.

    We loved dinner at the Botanist last night. The food was great as was the service. I’d like to give a shoutout to a staff member who I think was called Izzy who was fantastic. While not our server she did not stop doing things the whole time we were there and was always on the ball collecting drinks, food and clearing plates and talking with customers. She is a real credit to the restaurant.

    The Botanist KirribilliOwner

    Oh Louise, thank you so much for letting us know! Izzy will be pumped to read this, she is certainly a little firecracker that we're very proud of! We're glad to hear that you had a great experience with us and look forward to welcoming you in on another occasion. Warmest regards, Matty and The Botanist team.

    Consistently good food especially the tuna ceviche. I’ve never had their desserts but last night was really quite special. The lemon sorbet with cake was exceptional and espresso martini was superb! So pleased my Melburnian and Canberarian visitors got to sample. They were impressed!

    Hey Chanel, thank you so much for letting us know of your experience, what a beautiful read and we're pumped to hear that's the experience you left us with. We look forward to welcoming you in again on another occasion. Warmest regards, Matty and The Botanist team.

    The food is always wonderful- creative without being precious, excellent timing from the kitchen. Drinks are terrific, wine choices are thoughtful and are great foils for the food. Great vibe- my local go-to.

    The Botanist has become the go-to for our twice-a-year team lunch because the food is always creative and excellent. The range allows for everyone's needs to be met, and I've literally never had a bad dish. Can't go wrong!

    The Botanist KirribilliOwner

    Kristina, what a wonderful review to red, this makes us feel very special and proud and glad that's how you and your team feel. Thank you for letting us know and we look forward to your next visit. Warmest regards, Matty and The Botanist team.

    A great place for a lazy Sunday lunch. Superb food, particularly the gnocchi with nduja. Wide choice of drinks and staff who were keen for us to enjoy the experience and weren’t trying to rush us out the door.

    The Botanist KirribilliOwner

    Hey Andrew, we're so please to hear this! Thank you so much for letting us know, our guests are as important to us as our products we serve to you, and isn't our Gnocchi incredible. Jus so you know, we have live acoustic musicians the first and last Sunday of each month so we hope to welcome you for another lazy Sunday. Thanks for your review.

    Great food. Excellent variety and vegetarian options. Fun buzzing ambience. Generally good service. Music perhaps a bit loud but ok for a Friday evening crowd.

    The Botanist KirribilliOwner

    Hey Edward, thanks for getting in touch, we welcome your feedback and happy to hear you generally had a good time. We hope to see you again soon.
