Had an event here and the service was appalling. Room not set up as arranged, had to rearrange it. Food not served as planned. The tables were full of dirty plates for over an hour, had to go ask for a garbage bag to clear some space for cake. The $400 trolley was lucky to have $100 worth of food on it. Pig was nice but the sides were put out so early, the “hot” sides were cold. Supposed to get rolls so guests could have a pork and gravy roll, they forgot them and said it wasn’t part of package, showed them email, and they were eventually brought out after everyone had eaten. Part of $25pp kids package was ice cream, they didn’t receive any. Staff apologised saying they were short staffed, not our problem! An event should have assigned staff to look after them, especially after what it cost. SO disappointing
Went there for my birthday on a Monday night so not a busy night but was dissapointed. Food was nice and tasty. They really need to wash their glassware properly. Bought a bottle of sparking and the glasses were dirty with lipstick stains on them. Very disappointing, had to ask for clean glasses but even then they had watermarks on them.
We had a great experience at Botanical. We ordered the Beef Ragu, and it was easily one of the best I’ve ever had, full of flavour, beautifully presented, and excellent quality. The Rump Steak was also a standout, with tender meat, creamy mashed potatoes, fresh veggies, and a delicious mushroom sauce. We were also very impressed with the Cocktail of the Month: a Cucumber Jalapeño Margarita that had a spectacular flavour and just the right amount of spicy kick. We really hope this cocktail makes it onto the permanent menu, it’s too good to be a limited-time option!
A big thank you to Lucas and all the wonderful staff at The Botanical @ Highfields Caringbah for such a lovely night. The service was warm and welcoming, the food was fantastic, and the dessert was the perfect finish — honestly the best tiramisu we’ve ever had! 🍰 We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend!
Dined a little while ago at The Botanical (rooftop inside Highfield in Caringbah). While the atmosphere was lovely, the food was average across the board. We indulged in a variety of dishes including steak, ribs, burgers, pizza, and chicken schnitzel, but none really stood out as exceptional. The steak was decent, but it lacked that wow factor, and the ribs were tough not tender and not as flavourful as we'd hoped. The burgers and pizza were satisfying. The chicken schnitzel was crispy. Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience, but I was hoping for a bit more excitement from each dish. 🍔🍕🥩 If you're in the area, it’s worth a visit for the vibe, but keep your expectations in check!
