The Botanist - Salford

Great atmosphere, the food was delicious and filled. Was a few times and will go deffo again.

A few weeks ago, my dining experience at this restaurant was not the best. However, after leaving a review online, the manager, Jack, reached out to me and was sincerely interested in making things right. He kindly offered a complimentary meal, which my sister took advantage of last night. She reported that the service and food were excellent. This is a true example of great customer service, always striving to leave a positive impression. Thank you.

We typically dine at a Botanist no matter where we are because the food is consistently delicious and the staff are fantastic. However, on this particular visit, the staff were excellent but the food did not meet our expectations. We ordered the chicken kebab and found it to be very disappointing. We have tried this dish over 20 times in the past, but this was definitely the worst version we have encountered. If this had been our first experience at a Botanist, we likely would not return.

Attentive and helpful staff, waiting on and chef. Additional gluten free courses provided after specific enquiry. Lovely atmosphere. It seemed like just the two of us, despite being a full restaurant! The Botanist porn star martini was beautiful!

I went to this restaurant for Sunday lunch with my family. We ordered Sunday roasts, but were disappointed to find that the vegetables were cooked in garlic, which was not mentioned on the menu. I have a garlic intolerance and had to send the vegetables back. The roast potatoes also seemed to be cooked in garlic, despite me mentioning my intolerance. The meal was ruined for me as all I could taste was garlic. Additionally, the roast dinner did not come with stuffing and they wanted to charge an extra £3 for it. They also added a service charge to the bill, which I asked to have removed. The server was rude and mocked us to her colleagues. I was not impressed by the food or service. I spoke to the host on our way out, but she was unhelpful. If the restaurant is going to use so much garlic in their roast dinners, they should make it clear on the menu.
