What a treat! I look forward to returning and enjoying a meal in the gardens. Botanic is a restaurant in a botanical garden. The service was excellent and our server, Maddie, made suggestions based on allergies. She was prompt and I especially liked that she helped out her fellow servers. Our food was beautifully presented and yummy. read more

The food here is amazing! Definitely on the pricier side but it's well worth it. The restaurant is also beautiful and the servers are very attentive. read more

Such an incredible venue. Responsive staff who is there to ensure your dining experience is memorable and impeccable. You cannot find a nicer restaurant to celebrate any event. The menu is diverse and will accommodate anyone's cravings! There is live entertainment almost every night. Beautiful grounds to walk and enjoy. With a most delightful gift shop and an awesome nursery. I cannot dine here without bringing home a tray of gorgeous plants for my own garden. They will also special order or rep you informed if you are waiting on something special to come in! read more

The service, the ambience, and the food were all extraordinary! In addition, the greenhouse and the Market are fabulous as well. This is an experience unlike any other in this area. We will return! read more

This is a remarkable place. I loved everything about it. The service was impeccable! The food, though expensive, was very tasty! The pork belly burnt ends appetizer was just outstanding. The steak and salmon were both delicious. Each room of this restaurant had a different, but very cozy atmosphere. I loved all the different textures and ceilings. Truly a work of art. read more

Confusing little wonderful restaurant with the most amazing views and plants. It is fun to get lost in the grounds and just try to figure out where you are going. Hard to believe this place is so nice. The details in the park? Restaurant? Market? Its amazing. We only eat at the market and I will say, it's good. A tad bit inconsistent meaning one day you will eat something and think it's amazing and the next time you get it. It might be a tad off the mark....not a huge problem but just be aware as it might encourage you to try something different. read more

Great service and food! Such a beautiful building. Can call day of to see if there are any last minute cancellations. Great for a group. Looking forward to trying the burger and appetizers next time read more

From the hostess to the garden staff absolutely fantastic. There were three of us in our party and each one of us had something different. The salmon was my husband's choice it was very good. My mother in law had the French dip which was very flavorful. I had the adult grilled cheese and a cup of the soup of the day another great choice. We can't wait until it's warmer to sit outside. The decor is also beautiful. read more

Beautiful facility and good food. Service was a little slow and prices were higher than online menus showed-FYI (we get it, food has gone up)! read more

Amazing location and grounds. Exceptional service. Inviting ambiance. Food could have been better though.

Botanic is such a wonderful addition to the area. I went in to check out the garden shop and grab a pastry. I ended up ordering a gift basket for a wedding/honeymoon gift, enjoying a pastry and coffee on the patio, and enjoying the scenery. Madeline was so friendly and accommodating with the last minute gift basket request. Actually, everyone we encountered was really friendly. I can't wait to go back for dinner. read more

We hosted a brunch for 30+ people in the Orchid dining room and we couldn't have asked for a better event! We took group photos in the indoor garden which was beautifully decorated for Christmas, and our brunch buffet was a great selection of hot breakfast favorites and pastries with fresh squeezed orange juice and coffee. The staff was so attentive and everyone had a great time. read more

Great food, service for special occasions, the specialty drinks are amazing. Warm nights call for live music on the patio.

Wow! The ambiance is amazing! Friendly service. Everything we had was amazing. Bourbon chicken and pimento cheese were our favorites. Will be back! read more

Been Going Here for over 6 times with in a Year and Its Always Awesome,,Food And Service,,... John C Auburn,,,

I dine at the Grille every week. The absolute best culinary experience and super efficient customer service. As a "foodie" this is my favorite restaurant in the Opelika/Auburn area. I've had every item on the menu multiple times. read more

The food was amazing! The service was impeccable! The evening was an unforgettable experience that made us plan the next visit while we were still there! This place is a MUST! read more

Wonderful food. Wonderful service. Wonderful setting. Botanic is one of the best restaurants in the Auburn/Opelika area.

Beautiful atmosphere and attentive service. Father's Day Brunch a monumental disappointment. On par with a budget friendly hotel breakfast. Limited and unappealing choices. Had high expectations given previous visits but the buffet did not deliver. read more

Delicious food, professional service with serene atmosphere. The prices are steep so it's not a weekly visit.

Scenery is awesome, I really like the esthetic of the place. Food was good but I feel like people are glazing the hell out of it. The steaks are fine nothing crazy. I've had better steaks at the local LongHorns sadly. Servers are kind, but the food really needs to be better. The bread was Great though. read more

The atmosphere, the food, the coffee, the service....ALL A+! Loved my toffee nut honey latte. The owner came out and gave my two little boys some of their day old bread to feed the ducks, and they absolutely loved it. It's beautiful and we will definitely be back for dinner! read more

Service was great food was excellent and the scenery is amazing I will be back definitely

Our second time for brunch at Botanic. We enjoyed walking around the beautifully landscaped grounds afterwards. Excellent!

A most pleasant and unusual array of nature coming together with a unique dining experience. Abundance of flowers, exotic tropicals, shrubs in their expansive nursery and indoor atrium; amazing chickens roaming about, ducks and geese swimming on the lake adjoining the restaurant. And the different venues to enjoy a snack and drink outdoors to the dining in the beautiful grill inside and the bakery with all its delights...it's like being in a little village all it's own. The three of us ate in the grill inside with a view of the lake. The staff is everything you would want from a five star restaurant. Friendly, attentive, and knowledgable. The ambiance is great. The bread that was served was unique in a stoneware vase and served with different butter spreads. My wife had the red snapper, and it was delicious. I had the filet with a delicious array of vegetables. Our daughter ordered the blackened salmon. Only disappointment. It was not blackened, just pan seared and over bland white rice. Not inspiring but presented well. Now, We were celebrating our 40th anniversary, and the management presented especially for us the most delicious chocolate cake. What a wonderful way to end a delightful experience at the Botanic restaurant . Definitely on our list for fine dining in a most unique setting. read more

Loved it. Amazing coffee! The mocha muffin is really good too. I also liked the ham and cheese croissant.

Ambiance and decor are fabulous, but the food is mediocre at best and the service is poor. Not going back. There are too many good restaurants in the Auburn/Opelika area to waste time and money at this place. read more

The owners are fantastic down to earth people. The service is 2nd to none, the food is that of a 5 * restaurant they you don't have to wear a suit and tie to, and the ambiance give you that romantic feel no matter where you sit. I would 1000% recommend calling to set your reservation and go you will not be disappointed. read more

5 stars not enough. Outstanding meal and every item was perfectly prepared. Appetizer, salads, and main courses were amazing. Bread is unbelievable and desert was also great. Beautiful upscale casual setting and outstanding service. Nothing more you could ask for. read more

It's totally amazing space. Greenhouse, coffee/bakery, bourbon bar and nice well prepared food. Staff are friendly and helpful. Definitely worth a try. read more

The Botanic is a gem. The staff is very accommodating and the food is even better. It's the kind of place that makes you feel like you are on vacation. Can't wait to go back. Wish they were open 7 days a week. read more

So delicious! Incredible service, fantastic drinks, and fabulous food. We had the charcuterie board, Patiana's pasta, and the braised short rib. All were incredible. We were so stuffed that we didn't have room for dessert but are planning on going back to try it. read more

My husband and I and a friend ate brunch here and were totally delighted with EVERYTHING! It was our first experience there and were amazed with the entire set up. I and our friend ordered the brisket, short rib hamburger with parmesean fries and egg. Knocked it out of the part, the pattie was so flavorful and moist! My husband ordered fried egg, grits, bisuits and was a happy camper. A special of the day was salmon cakes and I had a difficult time making a choice between that and the burger. We tried their Bloody Marys' and they were a real winner. Love the bacon, shrimp ,etc trimmings on glass. Beautiful ambience and furnishings. Loved the exposed wood and greenery. Very relaxing in inviting. Our server was excellent, continued to check on us. Greeting at the desk was friendly and cordial. We also checked out their Market. Oh what fun! They had fresh Satsumas so I quickly purchased a basket of those and will be going back to purchase moer. They have an extensive listing of their specialty coffees. Also a huge selections of goodies to go along with coffee or by themselves. As our friend and I were looking around she mentioned that she would be going back to do some of her Christmas gifts. Amazing, inviting place with such charm. You would never realize you were close to Tiger Town. If you want relaxation give this a try. It is unique and fun. We will return! read more

Reservations required...we were seated for Sunday lunch even though tables were open.

Best eats in Auburn. Great brunch menu! EVERYTHING was amazing. The atmosphere of the Grille is truly top notch. Amazed that this is new construction as the feel is very historic. It's absolutely beautiful. Once you've enjoyed eyeing the structure...the service cannot be beat. From the moment we walked in until we exited was an experience. Timely acknowledgement, knowledgeable servers, white glove treatment. And just wet you're feeling like royalty, the food confirms that Botanic is something special. Could have licked the plate. I had the classic breakfast. Best hash browns in the world!! Hubby had the chicken and waffles. You won't go home hungry! Savory and sweet, crunch and moist. No idea how they do it! But it's good! Don't skip out before visiting the marketplace. Best muffins EVER!! Super moist on the inside and nice crispy top. Again, don't know how they do it. But it is AH-mazing! read more
