I’ve been watching this place and came here with my wife when we were in the area. We were able to quickly grab a seat outside and were attended to very quickly. I asked for sangria, and while it was good and refreshing, it tasted a little water down.

I joined a group of friends for brunch at Botanero, and it was all in all a great experience. Their brunch menu selection is very similar for what you would expect from a typical brunch menu: Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict, Shrimp and Grits, Chicken and Waffle plus more.

Had a yummy brunch here. The Duck confirmed was amazing..so tender. Shrimp and grits were not bad and steak and potatoes was well seasoned. Nice walkable neighborhood too.

Food was good but not exceptional. I’m still glad we tried it but I’m not sure we’d be return visitors. The best thing was my drink!

Place has a nice atmosphere. Service was good. Flaming shrimp was delicious, fried calamari was average, and octopus with lentil was ok. Sangria was only ok, too, and 3 leches was like grocery store ones. I would go back to try other tapas and drinks, though.

If you are looking for a place to cater from or just simply eat, look no further! Botanero has it ALL. The BEST food, drinks, and staff! I had my bridal shower on 8/26/23 and wow, I am at a loss for words with how exceptional everything was. Botanero arrived in a timely manner to my venue, set-up everything perfectly the way I had envisioned it, AND provided top notch customer service. My husbands side of the family are vegetarian and they went above and beyond to customize a special menu that was delicious so that they could enjoy. They even customized an all vegan menu for my vegan friends! I can’t thank them enough for all the hard work and dedication they provided to ensure my event was perfect. In fact, my wedding is 2 weeks away and I loved them so much I added them to my catering team for my reception. Julio, Ken and team- Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!!!

My wife and I often visited this restaurant when we wanted to have a grilled octopus or some other Spanish cuisines. So we know how they serve this octopus. We got two dry and burnt pieces instead of one juicy piece. So we had to ask a waiter for his opinion and he said that two pieces were served instead of one. Yes that’s true. But this is not edible. Other foods were okay. We were thinking that maybe they had different chefs. We won’t probably go back.
