Very nice cosy venue and environment, lovely food, but portions are on the tad small side considering the prices, good service and overall very nice place for family, friends and events.

First time at the Botanist as we wanted somewhere more 'premium' as a treat. Waiting staff were incredibly attentive and checked in on us numerous times, but felt that our disappointment was probably a regular occurrence?The prawns for the starter were cold and did'nt hold any flavour... despite being one of the most expensive starters on the menu.My chicken, noodle salad for main was a HUGE disappointment. I had researched the meal before I ordered it. Rice noodles weren't small and my salad seemed to be missing all the main ingredients like sugar snap peas and peppers?!Partners fries were over cooked and just oily. We gave feedback and were expecting maybe a drink or desert as an apology, but nothing offered. We then received the bill and were annoyed by the automatic service charge. We did choose to pay the service charge as the waitress had been very good. Eventually a manager allowed a 20% discount off our bill.Prior to us leaving, the waitress did comment that the food was not up to their usual standards.

Good food, good drinks, staff very pleasant. To improve - even on a quiet night you need more than one person behind the bar and turn the music down

We had a family dinner here in October and the service was poor - my daughter just went back and they have not improved. Slow service, staff distracted, starters arrive before the first drinks - food quality average at best - Reading and Manchester branches are always good - Marlow give it a miss

Such a shame! Booked my first Botanist experience during my 50th birthday week, as we were in Marlow for the family get together bit, and met friends there. Sadly our food all arrived to the table cold so we had to send it back to be re cooked fresh. I was asked if I wanted it reheated but I politely asked for my rice to not be reheated. Food hygiene basics with rice.The bar manager did shout me the cocktail I ordered later but I was disappointed that I remember the cold food over the lovely cocktail.
Good vibe, reasonably priced, can't fault the service

Food was excellent albeit not hot enough, but the restaurant was freezing cold
Liam Morris
Food was great but the service was even better! Very attentive, even brought a drink over for the little one without being asked to!

We visited the Marlow branch on Friday night we had a great evening the food and service was very good, I had the feeling that the Botanist are understaffing to increase profits or just survive which I didn't enjoy as I feel for the young people serving us
