We'd booked a table for a party and a little 'room' area cut off from the rest of the restaurant was used to seat us. Service was quick and staff were very accommodating to our needs as we had a number of different allergies and dietary requirements between us. Michael in particular stood out as very welcoming and attentive.

Came here for a birthday meal with a table booked for 20:30. Unfortunately a party was running late, so we were asked to grab a drink whilst we waited for the table to be cleared. We were seated 10mins later than our booking, but that wasn't a problem at all. Our waiter was extremely polite and apologetic regarding the delay which was nice! The food was great and so were the cocktails. Absolutely no complaints whatsoever and would highly recommend coming here if you're looking for something a little more upmarket and trendy.

This place is lovely with a relaxed atmosphere amazing waiter Mike as mentioned in many of the reviews went above and beyond and we really enjoyed the food the steak was cooked to perfection and the cheese pulled burger was delicious we also had the crunchie cookie dough which if you have room for was devine, the live music downstairs in the bar was also good for after the meal so we stayed and had some more drinks in there, all in all a great experience and will definately be back would highly recommend

Early evening weekday meal during Easter break. As tourists to York we weren't sure whether a reservation was required, but we were able to get a 6pm table without any fuss. The kids menu was generous, certainly enough for our 10 and 12 year old boys. Cocktails were very nice and the food was tasty. We had the sharing kebab which was great and just about the right size. Only complaint was the speed. Given the place was probably three quarters full, the length of time between ordering and receiving the main courses was a little over an hour, which felt a long wait.

We recently celebrated my 50th birthday with my family at The Botanist, York. We were given a private room upstairs at the front of the building. My family were allowed access to decorate the room during the day. We received the best service from a couple of staff, one young man in particular, whos name I cannot remember however nothing was too much trouble for him. The meal was delicious and the drinks flowed and I cannot recommend enough. Thank you

We came here for my birthday and had some cocktails which were served in a normal long glass and tasted not very good.There was some kind of foliage on the top of the cocktail which smelt a bit unpleasant. The famous hanging kebabs were nice and tasty but could have been a bigger portion. Then there's a 10% service charge also.Molly our server was nice and pleasant. Service was quick also.

First time in the Botanist in York and it didn’t disappoint. Had a wonderful time, the food was amazing (I had the chicken skewers and my wife had the halloumi skewers). Coming for a total carnivore, I have to say, the halloumi skewers were delicious (nicked a bit from my wife). The service was excellent too and Mike looked after us really well. A great time, we will definitely be back!

Not the best experience which was a shame as it was for my sisters Hen do! Won’t be returning. We had a table booked but were then held in a VERY crowded bar for quite a long time. No one came to get us, I had to go back a while later where we were then told- yes, the table was ready… why had no one come to tell us? Or why isn’t there a buzzer system to inform you? The seating area we had was beautiful, a private little annex room decorated lovely. I had prepaid for 2 bottles of prosecco on arrival – these were nowhere to be seen and I had to ask for them... not the wow factor I had planned for everyone to walk into … Why bother making us prepay & preorder? This goes for the food too- why make guest preorder and then wait a ridiculous amount of time for the food order- why did we preorder? It clearly didn’t help with organisation or output. I couldn’t fault our server, he was so busy but was friendly, engaged and made everyone feel welcome- he was the only saving grace of this experience! The food came out – the ones that were edible were okay at best and 4 dishes had to be complete voided off the bill as they were burnt/ overcooked (halloumi skewers) – this included the bride’s meal of which she was barely able to eat anything. Again, our server dealt with this well but the chefs should never have sent black charred halloumi out. I was then almost charged an extra £57 for the prosecco I’d already prepaid for … luckily, I’d caught it. We were all so over it by the end of this meal we ended up cutting our evening short and heading home. Would recommend for atmosphere and a drink at most but would never eat here again.

I love the botanist at my home town of Lincoln so whilst staying in York decided to visit. Arrived as we hadn’t booked as web site states walk ins available no need to book turned up to be met by a young girl to busy talking to obviously a friend decided she would greet us after she had finished her gossip with a friend, directed to the table was told would have to be a bench which we accepted, food was ok not anywhere near as good as your Lincoln branch and neither are your staff ! Felt like we was a chore to then no smile no interaction will not return again when we are in York

Loved the food, cannot fault it. Visited for a Graduation celebration and just felt super underwhelmed. Especially after calling to arrange this booking and being reassured something special would have been arranged for this, it was a shame. The waitresses unfortunately also seemed quite rude and hardly came to the table at all throughout, and seemed too lazy to serve anyone around the table but simply place food on one side to pass around which was a shame.

We visited on a Monday evening while on a trip to York just before Christmas, arriving early (via the wrong door as the restaurant door is at the side of the building, this really isn't clear if it's dark outside!) we were guided to a nice quiet table by the stairs by some friendly and welcoming staff. They took note of my food allergy and left us some time to decide what we wanted. The starters arrived quickly and were great; the pork crackling and the onion petals were real highlights for us and we were impressed by the quality. I ordered a cocktail which was delicious and unlike anything I'd had elsewhere. Sadly things went downhill from here. From the time our starters arrived to the main courses we waited over an hour, with 2 visits from staff during this time assuring us the food would be arriving soon. They seemed very rushed and overworked, trying to attend to lots of tables at once. When it did eventually arrive it was slightly wrong, and while they did fix this quickly it wasn't worth the wait at all. The hanging kebab was a very expensive bit of overcooked and dry chicken with little flavour. It came with a garlic butter that you could pour over the whole thing which was novel but left the chicken tasting exactly the same apart from being oily. Also accompanying it was coconut rice which somehow tasted burned. The platter we had with it was a mixed bag with some things tasting fantastic and others being just OK, but even here the chicken bites were very dry. Because of the delay we had been told when the food arrived that our next drinks would be free, and so my wife ordered a Diet Coke. This never turned up, and nobody ever came to take my order. The drinks we did have were taken off the bill at the end which was a nice gesture but by this point we had been here for 2 hrs 30mins and just wanted to leave. Given how much the food cost (I'm used to Cambridge prices but it still felt too expensive for what you got) I'd have expected something better, and it's a real shame that the quality of the mains didn't match up to the starters. It's also disappointing to see that the staff seemed to be overworked and rushing around, doing their best to deal with the situation they ended up in.

A lovely and cosy restaurant which is a great spot for dinner.

The food was very good as well - particularly the vegan pie of the day which was a sweet potato curried pie that was delicious.

January 2024 Finally got to go back to the wonderful city of York, and the amazing restaurant, the Botanist. This is a city famous for their fantastic food/restaurants, and the Botanists is right up there! It was so good that, again, this short trip we went twice, two nights in a row. The first night I had their piri piri prawns with sourdough to sop up the oil. They were perfectly cooked, and that's not always how they arrive as prawns tend to be overcooked. My husband had the chicken skewers, hanging over a bowl of perfectly cooked chips. The marinade on the chicken was delicious and completely new to me, slightly fruity. Chicken juicy, full flavoured and perfectly cooked. Our lovely dining companions had the katsu curry with rice and it too was delicious and plentiful, and the Bang Bang chicken, which was historical. It was so good we both had it the next night! The lovely people looking after us were, Michael and Richard. They both were utterly charming, funny and knew their business; masterclass in how to front a restaurant. The second night we repeated some dishes, all as wonderful the next time, but we also had the fried onion flower (?) Which was one of the best dishes I've ever enjoyed. This night we had the gorgeous Freya, and were delighted to see that Richard was working. Again, he took marvellous care of us and was just great fun. He introduced us to the Botanist's beetroot pina colada (OMG delicious), chili margarita (swoon!), kiwi whiskey sour (yum), all utterly delicious, and I would definitely order again if I could. I think this superb, small chain are located strictly up North - if only we could have one in London! Great food, lovely location (inside and out), outstanding staff and great prices, oh, and super star cocktails! What's not to love... March 2022 Lovely restaurant with a very interesting menu! We shared the melted cheese bread boule as it was so big, and glad we did as it was delicious and enough for 2. We've decided to go back, again, on our short visit to York as we liked it so much. Our server, Olivia, was a super star: fast, efficient, knowledgeable and a great laugh, a real breath of fresh air. Prices were great and all'in-all a wonderful experience.

Disappointed really. We had booked in advance and extended the dining table into the evening when we visited back in November but there was no record which was strange as we stood next to the gentleman when he did it. We were made aware of certain items not being available as they had had a busy lunch. This was NY,s day. Anyway we were asked to have a drink in the bar as the table wasn't ready which is fine. We couldn’t remember what the building was before it became the Botanist but it isn’t a patch on Leeds. Anyway the meals were poor, but the bill was adjusted to reflect this. Having looked around it appeared other diners were having the same issues. Maybe a review of the food process is due?

I can’t thank Libby and the team at the Botanist York for everything they did to make my dad’s surprise party so fantastic. From start to finish, the team were so lovely and easy to work with. The booking system for group meals and the offering of the private room for large bookings is just fantastic, and the team went out of their way to make sure it went as smoothly as possible. Of course, it’s often the service in the night that make or break the experience— and they didn’t let us down at all. They were all so attentive, welcoming, and a credit to the Botanist! 100% would recommend for group bookings, as well as popping in for food and drinks in general (everyone loved their meals).

Arrived ten minutes before booking and told no tables available and to wait in a crowded bar. Finished drinks went back and told no tables go back to the crowded bar and wait to be called. Waited again no came to find me so I asked about the possibility of being seated in the next 30 minutes and was told no tables available. I would have left but I had two gift cards. When we finally got seated the experience and service we poor. Nobody took a drinks order they just brought the preordered starter. After finishing the starter we were just sat waiting for the plates to be collected but nobody came. As I was left sitting at the table I had to go into the bar to order drinks for the table. This seemed to trigger a response from the staff and suddenly a waiter appeared apologising for the service. This was an experience I would not want to go through again

There was 5 of us so a chair got stuck on the end. Bit of a squeeze. Service wasn't great. Had one drink in one hour as staff were stretched and didn't come over to see if we needed anything.

The food and drinks were great, as they always are. The waiter was also really nice and friendly.

I was on my own, there was no signal in the restaurant, and you had to provide your entire life story to gain access to the WiFi, so it was a long time to wait with nothing to entertain myself. Don't think I'd go there again, unless I was with some friends to keep me occupied during the long wait for food.

I came back here a few years later and both food and service improved! The server was very nice and patient and the food was original and tasty. We got a vegan burger and a vegan pie and they both exceeded our expectations.average prices
