Botanico Gin & Cookhouse

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.

Wow, this place blew me away. Value for the Miami Spice lunch was great and their marketing for couples is even better. We were able to substitute a dessert for two glasses of wine. We actually traded both desserts and got 4 glasses. Also the food was just incredible, appetizers were particularly great. Service was friendly and the interior was super nice.

I recently enjoyed a fantastic happy hour at Botanico in Coconut Grove. The service was top-notch, with the staff attentive and friendly throughout. What really stood out was the extensive happy hour menu—there were plenty of great choices, both for food and drinks. The variety made it easy to find something for everyone’s taste. I opted to eat at the bar, which had a relaxed yet vibrant atmosphere, perfect for unwinding after a long day. Overall, it was an excellent experience with delicious offerings and great service. I’ll definitely be back! Make sure to order the yuca frita with dipping sauces, the portion was incredibly generous, definitely shareable!

Stopped for a bite to eat, and was pleased with our visit. Everything was delicious and as described. They have a lot of wine/drink options, the place is very clean, and the food is fresh and hot.

Loved everything about this place! Fabulous drinks, delicious food, and our waiter Dylan was the best! We had the goat cheese crostini, the salmon tartare, and the duck confit on baguette. For drinks, we had the Empress and French Martini. Dessert was the baklava cheesecake

We just hosted a brunch for my sister in law’s baby shower and it was fabulous! Highly recommend!! The place is beautiful and they were so accommodating about our decorations and how we wanted to set everything up and even offered to let us pick the color of our plates to match the decor… I mean, who does that?? They even opened the restaurant early so we could set up. When our guests arrived, mimosas were waiting as planned and we were so well taken care of throughout the event. Food was delicious, but we already knew that from eating there before. Such a special day celebrated in such a special setting! Thank you everyone at Botanico!!

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!

This is a great bar restaurant, very well located, food is delicious and if you like cocktails and gin, they have a great selection. We tried different gin cocktails and although i am not a fan of gin, they were great! Food was all delicious and ambience was great. Totally recommended for a Saturday date night 👌

Botanico is always a great choice. The food is delicious and the service is 5-⭐️ Santiago and the entire staff should teach hospitality classes to other restauranteurs - they always make you feel like a VIP guest. We will definitely be back soon. Sebastian, Ivette & Nina

This place is an absolute gem in Coconut Grove. We were in the area and stopped by before heading out of town. We sat at the bar and Alex took the best care of us and made us feel so welcomed. The goat cheese dip is AMAZING!!

One of the rare non snobby, great vibes, great drinks and food places left in coconut grove! ♥️ if you’re looking for fancy and overrated, this place isn’t for you. If you’re looking for humble and perfect with reasonable prices, outdoor/open seating and fun service, this is your home. All day HH drinks too!

Andres was our server; he was knowledgeable, helpful, friendly, and patient. Overall the food was tasty, however the Yuca fries were only okay and my sea bass was a bit too thin/ small, though still quite flavorful. I enjoyed my time at this restaurant mainly due to the excellent service and the company I went with 😀

First time here! We sat outside and coconut grove is such a nice area. The yuca fires are a large portion, the wagyu sliders were super yummy! My boyfriend also said the scallops were delicious. We also had some drinks, the espresso martini was extremely good

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 ✍️

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.

If you try anything make sure to try the choripan, it was delicious. We went for happy hour, $12 drinks and $12 bites.

Stopped in for lunch. Had a pretty tasty wedge salad with chicken as my protein. Simple but good. It's a place with lots of gin options so if you like gin - it's a neat bar spot with decent food.

09/19/2025 When we go out to eat, we expect an experience different from staying at home—unfortunately, this was not the case, and here are my comments. Food: An absolute disappointment. Dishes were served in chipped plates, the tomato still had the store sticker on it, the fish was dry with its garnish undercooked. The tuna tartare was acceptable but clearly of low quality. Service: Poor. Ice was brought to the table without tongs, dishes were served without cutlery, and items were nearly dropped on us. Unacceptable details for a place that charges so much for so little. Ambience: Cozy, but far from the luxury they advertise. It works better as a spot to gather with friends in the bar for drinks rather than a fine dining experience. Conclusion: A place not worth repeating—unless you’re with friends and it happens to be the only spot open in Coconut Grove.

Think twice before you stop at this Restaurant. I ordered a filet mignon medium well $48 , well it came like the worse meat you can have at home...totally white meat as it was previously tendered even in water then griled. When ask the chef to come to talk about it, I paid my bill I did not want a discount, she was totaly in a no way to listen or xare about customer service. Do not waste your money here, cross the street or go to another place near by and may be you will get better food. What a sadness yo see how they do not care.
