It was a wonderful but sad night as the food and drink venue was shutting down to focus exclusively on the distillery business. This is a loss for the community as the Botanery was a great place for food, drink and live music. In many ways, it was like an Irish pub. The staff and manager are outstanding. Everyone was friendly and made you feel at home. RIP

It was great to be able to share one last night with Cheryl, Michelle and the entire team. We will truly miss our regular Friday night date night spot and the friendship with have been so fortunate to have gained over the last 7 years. May the next chapter be as great for all of you as the last chapter. Thanks for the memories.

We had a wonderful experience at Botanery Barn Restaurant -- delicious food, stellar cocktails, lovely historic barn surroundings. We're just so sorry to learn that the restaurant will be closing after this Saturday!

We had shrimp cocktail, cheese board, tacos and flatbread. All were excellent! I enjoyed an Old Fashioned while my husband had a flight of bourbons. Our server was the best! Looking forward to a return trip!

My husband and I came for a late lunch for Valentine’s Day. The menu was very small and limited, but the options were excellent. He had the filet, and I had the cashew crusted salmon. Both were really delicious! And the cocktail options are amazing! Difficult to choose. I think if they expanded their menu a bit, we would dine here more frequently. Very cool ambiance, with the place being around since 1870.

HI Anna, Thank you so much for visiting us and your kind words. Please know our menu was limited due to it being Valentine's weekend and our number of reservations. We hope to see you again soon! Cheryl

We were slightly disappointed with our most recent visit here. Made reservations 2 weeks in advance for a party of 4. Unfortunately, the main dining area seemed all reserved for a private birthday party so we were seated in the larger more open area to the left behind the bar which had NO HEAT. There was one small space heater which we tried to move closer to our table because it was so cold in there. We all kept our coats on the entire time. It made for a very uncomfortable dining experience and a difficult evening to enjoy. In the past we would order an app and a main course, and usually 2 rounds of drinks but we made it a point to leave as soon as possible this time. I wish the restaurant had notified me in advance of the seating arrangement situation for this particular very cold and very booked evening so we had the choice whether or not to visit.

Had a nice time the other night. Wasnt in the main area, which would have been nicer but still had a cozy feel. Hummas was great and also had the macaroni and cheese tart and brussel sprouts which were also very good. The chicken taco has a good amount of spice and flavor too. Drinks were very good

Food and drinks are always delicious here along with the friendly service. We both had the short ribs, and the garlic chili nuts for an appetizer. Get the chocolate Old Fashioned! So good! I am a repeat customer and will continue to support this wonderful establishment.
