01/05/2024: Lovely little pizza restaurant with very tasty pizza! It was quite busy on the day so service was a little slow but our server was very helpful and courteous

30/04/2024: H a n u r right to the same time as well and I

18/03/2024: The food is absolutely superb and really good service. In a world where business owners are only too happy to take your money with minimal service it was great to get a check in from the owner that everything was ok as we were eating and a thank you from him as we were leaving. Highly recommend for top class Italian food and atmosphere.

29/02/2024: The restaurant is incredible, the pizzas are excellent, the service is top notch, smiles and a very warm atmosphere.

30/03/2024: As a local to the area, recently visited Botanical to see if this relatively new restaurant is "one of the best in the city" as they claim on the website. Unfortunately was very disappointed. The menu is limited but I guess ok if viewed as a side service to a hotel. We ordered a few different things, all were ok but in no way a top culinary experience. Things stated as 'seared' were not so, sourdough bread very much looked and tasted like grocery store toast, missing items from order etc. What did stand out as a positive was the cocktails and jungle themed decor (although pales in comparison to places like The Ivy). What was the worst was the service. It was not non-friendly, just very incompetent. The service staff would ask a question and immediately rush away without consideration to any questions or if we wanted to order other items. Initial drinks order took 3 attempts to get right. When asked what the special was, again staff rushed away to the kitchen area and came back with a single word response "lamb". Ok.. served how, with what, what's the price? It didn't seem to occur to them at all that this would be relevant information and they just again rushed away. At the end of the visit, was first given the bill of a different table and when questioning this, server seemed visibly irritated and rushed out to get it corrected. I could understand the rushing away if the place has been busy but more than half the tables were empty and there was more than one server working. One experienced professional could have handled all customers with relative ease. The final disappointment was using the customer bathrooms. This required a 5 digit code from the reception and when going into the bathroom, I could not believe how it could look so nice but smell so bad! This was not some slight stench but like raw sewer. I seriously considered holding it in to go to a close by pub (not know for rosy smells there either!) for my business as it was the worst bathroom smell I've experienced in my life! I would not recommend this place to anyone who wants more than just a hotel style burger before heading upstairs to bed or grab a few beers/cocktails on the patio. It's sad to see a new place like this that has so much potential not make the most of it when simple improvements like training their staff could easily elevate the experience to the customers. I sincerely hope they improve.

05/03/2024: Lovely food and great atmosphere

27/03/2024: Very nice restaurant. The seafood shouder was fantastic. I liked that very much.

02/03/2024: Superb food. Couldn't fault it.

25/02/2024: Really good food sourced from local producers. The desserts were fantastic and a special touch with the name of the venue. Staff are very friendly and ensure you have everything you need.

24/01/2024: Great spot for breakfast, lunch, dinner and everything in between. Staff are lovely and always happy to see you. Definitely recommend!

31/03/2024: This place gets a 5* because they provide good quality coffee and good croissants 🥐 at a reasonable price and the girls give good service. I am constantly on lookout for places like this that do coffee and croissants at a reasonable price to which I will return. Too many places in Ireland are ripping people off for coffee..... Not this one. Thanks. Peter

08/03/2024: Going here for nearly 2 years regularly. Tasty food options at decent prices. Good staff. Nice coffee.

01/03/2024: Really great spot. Delicious pizza. Lovely touch that the owner came out to greet us. Lovely personal touch. Highly recommend. We will definitely be back. Thank you.

20/02/2024: I could only try a simple espresso because I was passing through. It's always nice to have a chat with Italians.

30/03/2024: Love the food ..staff are friendly...worth a visit..

23/03/2024: Amazing Food and excellent service

16/03/2024: Lovely food, friendly staff and decent prices. Nothing not to like, we'll be back!

09/03/2024: Great food & very friendly staff

02/05/2024: Very poor quality food. Not a sign of fresh tomatoes or olives on our starter board. Tasted like packaged meat from a supermarket. Will not be back!

30/04/2024: First time here after wanting to come for ages. Got the Bresaola starter with parmesan celery and lemon — great flavours in a small bite and very refreshing. For mains: Tagliatelle Amatriciana, Ravioli with Porcini mushroom filling in a cream sauce, Wild boar stew. Great texture on the pastas, and sauces not too rich. Wild boar stew was hearty, meat was dry but flavour was alright, fantastic side of toasted bread. Complimentary bread with a fine olive oil. Overall: Cooking very home-style as opposed to fine dining, good only if authenticity is what you crave. Intimate dining space — either come early or book early. Great service. Servings are small considering prices, but if ingredients were imported then I suppose this is justified. Unique experience but for me personally am not particularly inclined to come back.

16/03/2024: Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, delicious food and great coffee!

11/02/2024: Lovely place, great service very friendly staff. First time visiting, had a red curry and five cheesse pizza it was delicious. Definitely will come back.

31/03/2024: Highly recommended... very tasty, well seasoned. Fast friendly service. Price-performance level top!

23/03/2024: Delicious pizza. Great service. Good value. Would recommend

02/04/2024: The food is really good quality. I’m leaving two stars because it’s too pricey. The special pappardelle was 20€ and was way too small of a dish. I left the place unhappy and won’t come back as long as the price doesn’t match the quantity.

02/04/2024: Dined here in Easter Sunday evening. We'd no reservation but were seated immediately. Atmosphere - all the lights were on it was too bright. We weren't given menus for about 15 mins. We were ready to get up and leave but we're in no rush. We'd to ask for the specials. Food was mediocre. Prawns were the type you used to get frozen in the 80's. Warm underseasoned bland salad which I wasn't expecting. Pasta was okay but very al dente, hoped for fresh pasta. Will go to another Italian restaurant next time. Also, sourdough has no place on an Italian menu. No just no. I'm guessing the better staff were on Easter break. 🐣
