Server disappeared for the last 45 minutes. Had wanted to order coffee and dessert but gave up and finally found the manager in order to get my bill. Food was very good. Too bad about the poor service.

Lovely brunch and such a great deal. It was our first visit to Vancouver, and as a lover of dining out, especially for brunch, the reviews for Botanist were not wrong. The botany theme, the drinks, the food were all fantastic. Our server was so warm and offered great recommendations. The table next to us was having a terrible conversation, but the restaurant itself was wonderful. Would return!

Food was absolutely delicious! The area was very spacious, decor beautifully done and ambience was great. Our server seemed new and a bit shy and quiet and didn’t talk or engage in conversation, hence my 4 stars due to the service that I was expecting versus what we actually received.

Excellent quality of food. While the food is expensive, the cost is reflective of the wonderful dishes. Service was also excellent with our server being knowledgeable and friendly. Great options for vegans. Would recommend if you are looking for a fancy dinner out in Vancouver!

The best ambiance and service. Food is good. I had the burrata salad but realized there was no greens at all in there. But food didn’t disappoint. Scallops wrapped in prosciutto were good. Dessert we had the apple crumble and it was so good ! The best part of the meal was the dessert.

Decorating food was beautiful but quality of tastes were so so….just salty… nothing special. Just atmosphere was nice but food and drink were expensive. Wasn’t impressed this restaurant so I don’t think I won’t return this restaurant again.

We had the chef’s tasting menu. My husband had the standard and I requested vegetarian. Both were excellent. I was definitely full by the end and each course was inventive with the way different flavors were combined. I also got the blue moon mock tail which was also excellent.

Had the weekday brunch. I recommend the parfait, it really was delightful. Had the black coffee a little bit on the colder side but was able to get it refilled as it came in a pot. The croissants were good to taste. We had the salmon for the main to share. Good amount and overall enjoyed it but nothing over the top. The dessert was very pretty to look at. If you like creamy dessert you would like it. I would have like a bit more texture and flavour but my sister enjoyed it.
