Sensational experience to tantalise all your senses. We arrived a little early, sitting by the flickering fire we relaxed, absorbing the atmosphere. The music, soft lighting, sensational food (I can’t recommend this enough), great service, made it the perfect evening for our last night in the Hunter celebrating our 20th Wedding Anniversary. Note: The previous photos on trip adviser don’t do this venue justice. It’s stunning!Dear DavidnMichele, Thank you for sharing your recent dining experience at Restaurant Botanica.

This fine dining restaurant offers carefully planned food and wine in a lovely atmosphere. Decor was great, service was efficient and food very delicious. It was a little overpriced but had lots of options. Though we stuck to the regular two course meal, there were options for one, three or even a five course vegan meal! Service was lovely, our waitress offered us a free glass of wine each as our dishes were running a bit late, however we hadn't even noticed... The experience was very pleasant.

EXP was recommended to us and it did not fail to impress all of us. This is a relatively small restraunt, with an exciting and innovative menu. There was 6 of us for dinner and between us tried most things on the menu all of which were delightful and delicious . There is a degustation menu with matching wines however we went off the menu utilizing the 2 or 3 course option.Dishes such as the Scallops and the Beef are absolutely outstanding, the myrtle gum ice cream desert fantastic.The restraunt decor is a little quirky, the service outstanding, friendly helpful and attentive. The wine list extensive and reasonably priced. EXP is highly recommended.

Emerson Rodriguez hang your head in shame! Mother’s Day lunch with only two waitresses run off their feet trying to cope with a full house. We saw three tables of customers leave without having eaten, after waiting forever to be served. We ordered drinks, starters and mains. Two beers arrived for the men, and about 15 minutes later the champagne finally made it for the ladies! Duck pate was beautiful, handmade dip was not what I would call a dip. Oil and something that could have been dukkah.Mains were underwhelming..the chicken Maryland was actually a chicken breast and wingette, some gnocchi and tomato had burnt bits that couldn’t be eaten. Slow cooked duck and mushroom risotto was really a risotto with a generous serving of mushrooms that were very prominent, with little bits of something that may have been duck, or could also have been finely shredded chicken leg meat. Either way, couldn’t tell. My son-in-law cooks duck beautifully, so I know what it should taste like. Didn’t order desserts or coffee because we were so disappointed.

Attended a weekend wine lunch at Muse which was sensational. The wine was outstanding from Lakes Folly and the service was very good. Being gluten free at a large event can be a challenge but the staff seamlessly served my meals with the group on my table so there was never any waiting. The food was delicious and thoughtfully prepared and paired with the wines. We enjoyed the set menu for the event including seafood, chicken and steak dishes that were full of flavour and presented beautifully. Looking forward to returning to this amazing restaurant which is in a beautiful setting and the building itself is a very impressive space with very high ceilings and a beautiful fire place.
