we visited the botanist while on a quick getaway in Lincoln, the location is great, There was live music in the downstairs bar which due to our table location we could hear though out our meal, the atmosphere was fantastic with a pretty much full house, The food was great I would choice the club sandwich again after seeing the steaks but that’s a lesson i’ve learnt! (not saying it wasn’t good but damn the steaks looked amazing), Plus Tiny Rebel on tap made the experience complete….

Visited the Botanist with our granddaughter who is studying in Lincoln. Very easy to make reservation on line and on arrival we were shown to our table. Food was nice and reasonably priced but we found the building a bit noisy. We are always happy to tip at the end of a meal but were a little disappointed that a 10% charge was automatically already added to the bill.

Spent a couple of hours here, had a cocktail (expertly made!) amazing. Was kept entertained by Tom, who absolutely made my evening. He is a master at what he does & is a really lovely bloke (even helped my source an Uber home!) I'd recommend this place & look forward to returning one day. Tom, you are an amazing guy, good luck with everything :)

Had a good quality meal on Valentine's Evening. However, we were seated in the centre isle and let down by the waiter constantly walking past us, to lean over the banister to get items from the 'dumb waiter' behind our table. It happened on more than one occasion and would lift items over my partner's head, instead of walking around, to save time for himself. It was rude to say the least and socially awkward! This has ultimately put us off returning, when your spending a lot of money and getting a waiter constantly reach over you, just because they can't be bothered to walk around. Some basic social manners go a long way. The adding of a service charge for two diners, without asking is also extremely rude, to just expect it to be paid. Understandable to a certain degree, with a large table, but for two is pushing your luck. This should not be put on automatically. Again it's just rude!

The food was delicious, ordered a selection of small plates, the hanging kebab and wine. Atmosphere was great and enjoyed the live music in the downstairs bar after our meal. Despite it being a very busy Saturday staff were so professional and friendly, both the servers and bar staff were working flat out to serve people yet still took time to chat to customers and make recommendations.

The restaurant is located in the city center, the theme / vibes of the place is nice with Ivy plants in the roof, good for couple/ families or for work night out. However, the food was very average, the sauce did nor go with the hanging kabab at all. The chicken korean fries were very average. overall the food was not impressive at all.

For the money we paid £75 I can’t say I was overly impressed at all. The staff were friendly and let us move table due to it being cold by the door we couldn’t sit upstairs as it would have been too much for the smallest child so we sat downstairs. I ordered 2 kids meals the kids menu stated humous and cucumber, main and pudding both kids had fish bites. So they didn’t get humous & cucumber or deserts and the fish bites were actually fish fingers. My mum had fish and chips which she said was nice and I had a hanging kebab which was ok nothing really to write home about. Overall a really disappointing experience.

Went for a meal with my gals on Sunday (12th) for a roast. I had roast Beef , normally the beef in other restaurants I have been in before has been either dry or over cooked. But the Botanist cooked it to perfection, the veg , gravy and Yorkshire pudding was delicious. I would also like to add on how helpful Will was when I rang up and also attentive during our dinner, along with his coworker (can’t remember her name but she had pink hair). Overall a very enjoyable experience.

My wife had to send her burger back as it was undercooked , I’m assuming a lot of people like medium rare burgers but it would have been nice to ask ! The burgers were nothing special and for two and two drinks , one being a soft drink the bill was nothing short of £50 . Don’t rate it and won’t be back

Very Poor service. Booked for 7pm finally got sat down at 7:30pm because they are greedy with tables and they seemed unable to move people on despite having security guards. The place also feels a bit creepy from the overfriendly patrons present at the bar and the main congregation area for the masses of people unable to take their booked table is by the entrance giving an overcrowded atmosphere

Business Christmas meal which turned into a disaster. Had 2 blonde servers that felt like 2 dogs yapping at us for our Christmas table and telling us that our food would take longer than an hour and a half which is what they agreed upon arrival. Waste of money and ruined work party. What is the uniform policy and why do you have a young girl in tight red lycra serving the tables? It’s a restaurant not a night club. Wont return

We called in on chance just for a cocktail for a romantic weekend away, very strange first impressions as you have to fight through 2 heavy curtains to reach access the bar, I assume that it was just a cheap way to keep the heat in but it's just seemed weird. met at the door told them we were just looking for drinks so he said to wait at the bar, we did, and waited some more, and some more, after 10 minutes he said he would chase up a bar staff, we waited another 10 minutes then left, shame as the drinks on the menu looked interesting. okay it was noon on a Wednesday, but if they are open they should have staff

Reservamos una mesa para 6 : 15 - Teníamos entradas de teatro reservadas para un espectáculo de las 8 pm. Soy celiaca y me dieron un menú separado sin gluten. Buen comienzo. Hemos comido en el Botánico de Leeds y York antes, así que sabemos que las opciones sin gluten eran buenas. Mostrado a nuestra mesa. Me dijeron que escaneara el código QR en el menú GF para dar detalles adicionales. Al hacerlo, el menú que tenía que elegir se limitaba a cuatro elementos. Cuestioné esto y me preguntaron ¿qué tan grave es mi alergia? La razón por la que la mayoría de los artículos se eliminan es la contaminación cruzada en una freidora de aire mixto. La enfermedad celíaca no es una alergia. Aprecio el “gluten puede ser transportado por el aire”, etc., pero no tener una freidora separada, etc. no tiene ningún sentido lógico. El menú sin gluten no está libre de gluten. Terminé pidiendo un kebab colgante. Sin las papas fritas, por supuesto. Cuando llegaron nuestras bebidas, había pedido un vino blanco grande. Cuando llegó estaba claro que era el tamaño equivocado, le pregunté si podía tener el grande que pedí por favor. Me quitaron el vino y 10 minutos después recibí una copa grande. La factura tardó una edad en llegar, terminé teniendo que encontrar a alguien que me la pidiera de nuevo. Pasé apresuradamente mi tarjeta, que ascendía a 61 libras. 33 incluyendo un £ 5. 50 cargo por servicio opcional - que pagué. Al salir - escaneé el recibo y me di cuenta de que me habían cobrado por x 2 copas pequeñas de vino por un total de £ 15. 50 ? ? ? Encontré a alguien y le expliqué. Se disculparon y se fueron. Eran ahora las 7: 45 y estábamos ansiosos de llegar tarde al show. El servidor regresó con £ 7. 70 en efectivo y dijo perdón por el error aquí hay algo de efectivo, estábamos luchando para averiguar cómo reembolsar en su tarjeta. ¡Pero solo te cobramos por la pequeña copa de vino! Creo que lo decente en esta ocasión habría sido quitar las 15 libras. 50 . En este punto estaba tan molesto que llegamos tan tarde, que nos fuimos. No regresaremos.

I recently visited The Botanist in Lincoln, and it was an absolute treat! The vibe was amazing—cozy yet lively, with a unique botanical decor that set the perfect atmosphere for a great night out. I ordered the Korean chicken, and it was next-level delicious. The crispy, flavorful chicken with just the right amount of spice hit the spot. I also couldn’t resist the garlic bread, which was perfectly toasted and oozing with garlicky goodness. And yes, I definitely had more than my share of drinks🥂 their cocktail menu is creative and packed with refreshing options. The staff were super friendly and attentive, making sure everything was spot on. Overall, it was an awesome evening, and I can’t wait to go back! Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food, drinks, and vibes in Lincoln.

I visited with friends a few weeks ago on a weeknight and we had a great time. Lovely atmosphere, very chill and the staff were attentive and friendly (we were basically the only ones in the restaurant though, bear that in mind)! The food was mixed, I had the Asian noodle salad with chicken and my friends had an assortment of sides and a kebab. At first the salad was pretty good, but once the chicken ran out I was left with this very citrusy mess of cabbage and thin noodles which wasn't the most enjoyable to eat. I wish I could give 3.5 stars since even though the food was meh, everything else was good.

I took my team here for our quarterly meal. Never been before. One of my team was late and they held the table for us, which was appreciated. When the staff were paying attention, they were great. Sadly that wasn't too often. At the bar, 3 staff were gathered in the back around the glass washer machine paying no attention to the bar. Later 2 attractive young ladies were served immediately by the young male bar man. He then spent 10 minutes flirting before he came to take my order. This lack of attention spilled over into the dining room. I don't know if the waiting staff are lazy or shy, but no one ever looks up or around at the room to see if anyone needs anything. Our waitress was lovely, bubbly and at least got our order right. Sadly that was the best of a bad job. I had calamari to start and a sirloin steak, ordered medium rare. The calamari were like bullets and the steak was medium well. I didn't complain, purely because I didn't want my team to have to wait while they re-cooked my food. I paid nearly 400 quid for this experience. It's not the most expensive place in the world, but it's certainly not cheap. I could have forgiven the overcooked food if the service was better. Sadly it was pretty poor and half the tables were empty. I can see why now. Like a lot of places these days, it's just lacking leadership and training. If I get any sort of response to this post from the management, I may give it another go, because I liked the decor and the live music. We'll see.

Shame) sat and watched as people cleared their own tables, familiy sat at a table with the drinks still left in situ from previous two sets of parties.. Staff are lovely -as someone said to me there - have a queue for beer, wine and soft drinks Another for cocktaiks..

Myself and my boyfriend went for a spontaneous lunch at the botonist Lincoln this Saturday (31/08/2024) we had Will as our server and he absolutely made our afternoon. He was so chatty and approachable and nothing was too much trouble. He was enthusiastic and bubbly and really did go out of his way. Even when I wasn’t happy with my dessert (it was burnt) he offered to get it changed but when I let him know I’d much rather not have one he straightaway insisted on taking it off the bill. - we tipped him personally rather than using the optional service charge as it’s how we prefer to show appreciation when we have a singular waiter/waitress. Our food was lovely, couldn’t fault the starters or main - my partner enjoyed his dessert but I didn’t as mentioned above. And we really did think it was good value for the price. Can’t wait to come back - hopefully Will, can be our server again! ☺️

I ventured into this bar due to being early to meet people. I was greeted by the bartender Daniel, who made me feel welcome and comfortable. Incredibly impressed by his knowledge and he makes some delicious cocktails. Very impressed, will visit again. Incredible member of staff !

Wonderful ambience, extensive range of drinks and foods. Kudos to the barman, I believe his name was Tom, who impressed me with his bar flair skills, and certainly kept me entertained, as well as being so professional and courteous.

Food was good but we had an issue with our bill and our server came over and asked us to pay another tables bill as they had accidentally given them our bill and they had paid it! I was never given our original bill to compare I was just told “it’s only 50p difference” after a few calculations by myself we discovered our actual bill was actually considerably less and the server just said that she had “had a long day the day before and was tired”. I found this bad service and bad practice if this is normal procedure when this kind of error occurs!

Very disappointing. Service was slow (over an hour to get the meal). The £28 steak was not cooked as requested - asked for medium rare but got well down. My burger was burnt - not just char grilled but carbonised. After all that they have the audacity to automatically add 10% service to the bill - which requested be removed.
