My daughter is a student at AU and we went here for a girls' night this past weekend. The food was amazing! The service was amazing! Our drink order did take awhile but the girls were too busy munching on the amazing bread with three different butters. We were so enthralled by the ambiance and the garden, that we went back the next day for lunch and were able to sit aside in the garden area. The brussel sprouts are a must as is the pimento spread (I just didn't get pictures of those). read more

Beautiful venue! Great Service However the Ribeye is $60 and it tasted like top round complete with gristle covered with country gravy If you want a great venue with overpriced food go to an Auburn football game read more

The servers were great. The atmosphere was beautiful. The scenery is amazing, and the food was amazing.

We went for lunch and it was a wonderful day! Great salads, quiche, desserts, coffee and beautiful flowers for atmosphere! Servers were very kind. The fruit tart and chocolate chip cookie was delicious as well as Caesar salad and macaroni salad. Can't wait to go to dinner. They are still working on the property and it looks like it's going to be magnificent! read more

Absolutely amazing in every way. The ambiance, the service, the food , the drinks were all exceptional. I cannot wait to go back.

Fantastic experience! Food was amazing, grilled oysters were to die for. Wife had the Salmon with dill sauce over a bed of rice. The dill sauce was not over powering and offered a great addition to the entree. I had the red snapper which was grilled to perfection! Our waiter, Ty, was fantastic. Very attentive and offered good conversation and guidance through the menu and drink offerings. Our menus were even personalized for my wife's birthday. The ambiance was fantastic. We had a view of the pond, but the garden area was super nice. We stayed outside waiting for our table to get ready while live music was playing. read more

Botanic - Red Snapper - Southern Near Me - Opelika, Alabama

Botanic is breathtaking from the moment you walk in. The menus even had a "Welcome (Name) Party" printed on them. The homemade break and butter samplings were delish. I had the filet mignon and it was delicious. The only hiccup was. The overcooked chicken on my friend's salad. They brought her another piece but not another salad. So she ate the salad while waiting for the fresh chicken then a solo chicken breast arrived. That was odd. But the fresh chicken was good, she said. read more

Right now there is no better restaurant in auburn than Botanic. It's beautiful and well ran and the food is fantastic. Hard to get a reservation but book ahead its worth it. read more

What an unexpected treasure!! Founded by the creator of. Chicken Salad Chick, this restaurant looks like it came out of a dream! This is what you would want your mountain cabin to look like, but better. We flew over for brunch on a Sunday. There was no wait. The buffet style brunch is fresh, hot, and delicious. Tons of fresh baked pastries. All the usual eggs. Thick sliced crispy bacon. You can get custom omelettes, which we did! Desserts are numerous and delicious. We are weekend flyers, and this is our number one destination now for brunch/lunch. You will not be disappointed. read more

Beautiful scenery, we set next to the lake area. Afterwards we visit the store and the greenhouse. Food, service and ambiance was awesome. We will return very soon. read more

Everything about this place is magical. We went two days in a row and would go every day if I lived in Auburn. The bar is a fabulous option if you can't get a table. The food was impeccable-you'll never have a grilled cheese sandwich like the one on the menu. Even the chicken lettuce wraps are a foodies delight. Just walking through here with my daughter taking it all in, it's like stepping into the finest vacation. Bravo to the owner(s) of Botanic. You hit the nail on the head either way this incredible place. Until next time... read more

I have been to Napa Valley and the best fine dining restaurants all over California and Las Vegas but this is the best and most interesting place I have ever stepped foot in. Everything else pales in comparison. From the brioche bread you get to crab and corn fritters. Our Server Ty was phenomenal and the assistant manager Kennedy was fantastic. The ambiance is incredible with a room with over 1000 live plants and a gift shop area that offers fresh vegetables from the green house and gardens I love this place and I will fly to Alabama just to come back. read more

A gorgeously enchanting setting sets high expectations, while lackluster menu offerings, inconsistent quality, and only average presentation fail to deliver. Come for the atmosphere and unique setting, not for culinary excellence. read more

Going to make up a reason to come through here again and go to this place! Thank you Yelp for steering us in the right direction while on a road trip passing through. We were lucky that we called and managed to squeeze in. The place is in high demand and with good reason. We LOVED our food, the impeccable and incredibly personal service from Will M., and the ambience. Highly recommend without reservation. read more

I was in town for a play with my daughter, her date and 2 friends and we went for our first time. Excellent service by our delightful server, Katie M. Food and drinks were outstanding. Beautiful atmosphere and the Manager (sorry I can't remember his name) was so much fun and very attentive. I cannot say enough good things about this place and will definitely be back. Wish there were more stars to add!!!!! read more

Beautiful! Last minute trip. Next time, reservation for sure! Ate in the bar. Mixologist Amy was awesome- traded adult beverage recipes! Top notch bar with great bourbon selection! Food? OTC AWESOME!!! We will be back with friends in tow!!!! read more

This is a special place. To have a restaurant such as this in your local area truly is a treat! There is a delightful atmosphere created by the abundant floral arrangements across the property. The breakfast, dinner, and breakfast bar are all wonderful. The breakfast bar is a less expensive option, but do not let that make you think you are missing out on quality. Everything that I have ordered there has been amazing. Fruit tarts, breakfast casserole, and lemon bars are phenomenal. The regular breakfast and dinner options have so many exceptional options to choose from! The servers are all wonderful and check on you frequently. I recommend this restaurant to anyone in the Auburn-Opelika area, as well as others who are enjoyers of fine dining that may live elsewhere. This restaurant is definitely worth to go out of your way for. read more

One of the best restaurants in town. I have been here with my wife several times. The ribeye and the filet are our favorites so far. Any special they run is always great as well. I would recommend staying away from the fish- we tried the snapper and the salmon, neither had the quality of freshness we are used to. The service is always really great. And the dinning room is absolutely gorgeous. It is the most beautiful restaurant in the twin city area by far. Will continue to come here and can't wait to experience The Garden! read more

The food is always beyond expectations!! It is not only amazing but the presentation, little changes that complement each other bring the level of service, atmosphere and outstanding food to an all time high. read more

The café service and food has been outstanding. The coffee used for their Americano is top notch. Their quiche is delicious. So many places have just one best pastry item, but we haven't found one that is the best as they are all so tasty. I recommend the scones, all flavors. read more

One of the truly exceptional restaurants we have been in for a long time. Superb atmosphere, food and service. Easy to see the owners love of quality and meshing of greenhouse with restaurants was perfect. read more

Very nice and fancy! Had a blast. Place was beautiful, food was great. I went for an anniversary dinner and it was definitely a dinner I'll always remember read more

A magical place! Had dinner with my grown granddaughter and grandson at the Botanic Grill. Both of them had the salmon, and I had the pork chop. Food, drinks, service, and ambience were superb. A memorable evening! Will definitely go back next time I am in town. read more

My husband took me here for my birthday and I was not disappointed. Our menu had a special message telling me happy birthday which was a really nice touch. Our waitress was very helpful and her suggestions were spot on. I can't wait to go back just for a nice evening dinner!!!! read more

Cute place with nice ambience. Wonderful lunch! Sandwiches were amazing. Service was great!

Wow, this place is amazing! The atmosphere is completely different from any restaurants/bars around. The Bourbon Room is like a cocktail library, all leather and exposed brick, with the bartenders take on classic mixed cocktails... Phenomenal! The gardens, greenhouse, and courtyards are beautiful! And you can purchase plants while you're there! The dining area has an eclectic antique charm, that you can't find anywhere else. And the food is generally top notch (I was disappointed with the shrimp and grits, the shrimp was either over or undercooked, it was hard to tell which, but it was extremely tough and chewy). Aside from that, everything else was great! And the bread and homemade butters are to die for! read more

Beautiful atmosphere, great food, drinks and service start to finish from hostesses to servers. Looking forward to going back again!

Beautiful place! Wonderful service! Amazing food as well!! Such a creative menu and such a wonderful feel and atmosphere. Would def recommend to anyone coming to visit me in Auburn. read more
