We roamed for a place to eat, and ended up going to the Botanist, asked for a table and were booked in for 20:00 - even though there was availability prior.

Being served took a while considering the bar was empty and there was a group making cocktails, nice brunette male with a man bun served us. The drinks were fantastic.

Following this, we were showed to our table swiftly. Brought water also. However, had to set table ourself.

My starter was the flatbread, which was soft but a bit too flaky/crumbly. My partner had the wings.

Our mains arrived and they were fantastic. My partner was happy with his steak and chips. I opted for the pasta. It was lovely but drowned in sauce which made the dish in itself difficult to eat.

For dessert I had mint chocolate ice cream which was so icy, it seemed low quality. My partner had the cookie dough and was very happy.

Service from the girl with black hair in space buns and face tattoos was lovely - we were tempted to ask for advice on how she kept her tattoos so fresh and vivid. However there was a couple who had a dog with them that occupied the table opposite ours. Said waitress spent excess amounts of time fussing their dog but didn’t wash her hands where it was visible, I didn’t see a faucet nearby though so fair enough if she washed them in kitchen before service. It just seemed unhygienic to the visible eye and some people do get worried about this type of thing due to allergies.

Excluding this lady, girl with blue hair seemed remotely snotty. An alternate brunette girl was clearly rushed off her feet running round doing orders and the blue haired girl attempted to palm drinks off on go the brunette, and rolled her eyes when she had to serve said drinks as the brunette woman was occupied. Didn’t appreciate the tone of the staff attitude.

It was easy to tell who was passionate about working at such a wonderful place and who wasn’t.
