    A nice place to chill with friends, or to go on a date. Ambiance is rustic and cute. The cocktails are amazing and food is good. A bit pricey but it's worth the price, specially when there's live music.

    I have celebrated my birthday recently to the Botanist Reading. I just wanted to say a big thank you to team from the day I made the booking to the day I had my birthday dinner. Great food, great music, a big shout out to Grace ( who was serving us in the day) and to Matt ( bartender who helped me earlier on the day). I highly recommend the place. Not 5 starts as i noticed I was a bit overcharged, but just noticed days later.

    Was hyped by the reviews and pictures on the google, but wasn't happy with Food and service to be honest. Ambience is good but not great. Would recommend for a trial may be you might like it for the ambience.
