    Good food and good service. The place is loud and I did not expect to spend $250pp in such a loud environment. We are accustomed to Michelin restaurants being quiet so we can enjoy the service and the food. It was hard to hear anything and having conversations. The wine is expensive.

    We had an exceptional experience. The special menu - 100% plant based - exceeded our expectations by a very large margin! Everything we were served was such high standard, from the way it was plated to the taste, texture and flavour combinations. Service was impeccable, we enjoyed it. We were reminded of our last plant based dining experience we had years ago in Switzerland, one that was never matched so far. Botanist has done it though, and we will be back for sure. Thank you for a memorable evening to all of the team.
