Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Botanero is a delightful tapas haven celebrated for its "consistently excellent" food and "great service." Guests rave about the "bacon-wrapped dates" and the "grilled octopus." It's a perfect spot for a relaxed meal with "attentive staff" and a "great wine selection." The setting is cozy, though some note it's a bit "noisy" indoors. Ideal for brunch or group dining, Botanero promises a satisfying culinary experience every visit.

    The food was so good; we had the scallops- perfectly cooked and so tender, set salad was just right and the short rib was melt in your mouth perfect. We had wine and finished with cappuccinos- a perfect lunch with a friend.

    Small plates only, which was fine for us. Pacing of the plates was decent. Quantities of items was not clear on the menu so complicated when dividing amongst a group - (I wish these tapas type resturants would have some scaling factor with these plates - one order too small, two is too many - but that is a general complaint). Everything we tried was very good, and the drink menu was a nice surprise. We were in what I would assume was an event space/overflow room, which was not the best space for a small group dinner, but that is being picky. Recommmended.

    Our party of six ordered several small plates such as the chicken skewers, Brussel sprouts, Flaming shrimp, and the Mediterranean salad. All of the them were delicious. The service was good. Our only issue was that the noise level was so loud we could barely hear each other talk.

    Botanero is always amazing! The food is delicious and the service is excellent! The only negative is that because their tapas are so good it is easy to order one after another, and then you get the bill and it is expensive, but totally worth it!

    Always a great dinner and a nice dining experience. Food is very good to excellent. Service, friendly efficient, informed, nice atmosphere needs a little decorating in the new room. Always a terrific experience here. A very nice casual restaurant that is much more than you would expect in such a neighborhood . You will not be disappointed!!
