Botanico Gin & Cookhouse - Restaurant in Coconut Grove - 3015 Grand Ave, USA

I saw something on the menu called shrimp Lollipops. I had to order hat to see what it was. I liked the sauce on the shrimp. The sauce was placed on the plate in a decorative manner. I ordered that and the branzino filet. The filet came with a vegetable side and potatoes. I ordered and iced tea. Overall good. I liked this meal

Wonderful experience at Botaniko. The service by Tabitha was stellar. I ordered the gambas as an appetizer, the churrasco as the main and the Brownie by Tabitha for dessert. I highly recommend my food choices and believe the brownie dessert should permanently be added to the menu. I will be returning and recommending this restaurant to family and friends.

Food was ok, nothing bad, nothing outstanding, but it took too long between one course and the next. Used Miami Spice menu. Service and atmosphere were good.

I went here for my birthday, I had googled their happy hour for drinks and food! I ordered the gin martini and the mussels! The atmosphere and decor was amazing. If your looking for a great happy hour and food with a cute vibe then I suggest you come here!

The atmosphere ls great the place is fancy and clean. Service was good but there was just 2 tables to attend since I went for lunch, also the waiter forgot my side of French fries but I thought that It was a signal from god to don’t eat fried food but then he brought it and I was happy with it. I am going back for happy hour at the bar pretty soon to try a Gin tonic and the shrimp lollipops.

Modern style restaurant with an impressive and picture-worthy bar capable of just about any drink you can think of. The menu is limited but it covers a wide variety of options with a focus on American cuisine. Service is pretty good with attentive staff. They do have seating outside, which is great for people with four-legged friends.

Nice restaurant with live music on Saturday afternoons. The food we tried was tasty- including the mussels and tuna. The cocktails are pretty good, but the bar was packed so it was difficult to lounge and explore the menu. ➕️IG: @miamicheatdays for more recommendations ✍️

We’ve been meaning to come here since the Coral Gables Seafood festival where we tried their food. The owners seems very down to Earth and their cooking was great. We came early on a Tuesday night around 6:30, no reservations were needed. Happy hour was going on, 4 PM to 7 PM - available at bar and at tables. While we didn’t get any of the cocktails available for happy hour (all $8), we did get the yuca fries which brought enough to share for 2-4 people. All tapas on happy hour were $8 and there was a variety. Most cocktails are around $18, we got the Bill Dog and Great Whale. If you are gin lovers this is definitely the place for you. The cocktails are large and definitely pack a punch. Now onto the appetizers. The yucca fries had a very good chipotle and cilantro garlic sauce. We also got the tuna tartare ($19) which was very good, definitely recommend. For dinner: - Grilled Spanish octopus ($31) - it was edible, but I’ve had better. The char on it was perfect but I felt like the texture was a bit rubbery and overall lacked flavor. The star of the dish was definitely the beet purée. Felt like it was overpriced for what you got. - Jumbo sea scallops ($37) - delicious, tender, served with a savory lemon-ginger butter cream sauce on top of asparagus. Definitely worth a try and the reason why I rated 4 instead of 3 stars. Overall, it was a good experience and definitely planning to come back to try their happy hour and have more scallops. Our waiter, Michael, was very attentive and gave 5 star service.
