The Botanist Coventry

A great place in the center, with the most amazing interior! eating was good, but eating in this garden was a real tasty. other tables had ordered kebabs that swing on a hook, but this is not our style, the mezze platter was definitiw a winner for us. coffees were really brewed, no acrid or acidic aromen! the staff was friendly and helpful, full of smiles.

A very pretty location, lovely mocktails and even had Romanian wine on the menu. We tried the food sharers coated fried onions, hummus and squid with seaweed and they were very tasty. A little pricey but very nice atmosphere, great decor and located around the corner from the carpark. Food came out very quickly so that was a plus!

I booked this for a work event for 14 people and I was embarrassed from start to finish. On booking through a third party [which made everything really over complicated] I had to give a list of pre orders, which being over the Xmas period was not easy, was told that I need to confirm by X date [I was on leave] rang the venue who said confirm the booking on the system for 12 and then call us with the final two [which my colleague did], had an email form third party stating we were missing 2 from our order so I responded stating I had liaised with venue directly. Got to the restaurant who told me we had a booking for 12 not 14, our meal from start to finish took over 3 hours! The 2 orders that were rang through directly had disappeared so had to re run through the meal pre orders which were not correct, our drink order was taken then forgotten about, our starters took an hour, mains an hour after that and puddings at 10pm, nothing was right, one flatbread was ordered and again forgotten about and turned up AFTER the individual had finished his main, we had to ask for every course. We got told that there was a emergency with a patron and that was why it was all so slow but in all honesty the restaurant was quiet and nobody came over to apologise at any point, nobody checked on us to see if our food was nice or if anyone needed more drinks, we had to group to the bar if we wanted anything. When we complained and explained the situation to the manager she then sent the table server to ask us why we complained [slightly embarrassing] at 10pm when the puddings came out we asked for the bill as we had been there for 3 hours, it took another 20 mins for them to come over for payment it was awful from start to finish and highly embarrasing for myself as the organiser.

Slowest service in history. burgers sat to go cold for 20 minutes why the waitress floated around on a different planet. People getting up and leaving. massively shocking never again people could due of starvation waiting for the waitress here

Took ages for food and drinks to be served. Food quality poor see pic of Katsu Chicken, looks like cat sick! Ladies toilets a disgrace see pics. Not recommended and wont be going again!
