First time visiting the Botanico Gin & Cookhouse and had high hopes for it. The space is great with a very modern dining feel. There's outdoor seating that would probably be nice, weather permitting (it was raining for us). There is a good selection of drinks from gin to cocktails to wine. I came with two other friends and we tried the gin because of the restaurant's name. I tried the Bombay, while my friends tried the Conniption and Harry Blu's. I tried all of the drinks. Overall I was pretty disappointed. For the most part it's a gin and tonic for $18 that has a very faint flavor profile but damn does it look good. They were running a Tapas happy hour menu that seemed like a seasonal thing, so I'm not sure if it's all the time. We decided to order several different options off the Tapas menu to share. The Ahi Tuna Sashimi was okay. The best part was probably the jalapeño that added texture to the bite of the tuna. The citrus ponzu sauce that came with it was unimpressive. The jumbo chicken wings were tasty with the Thai chili sauce we chose, but I would not necessarily call them jumbo. The sticky cauliflower wings were quite good and flavorful and did not taste like cauliflower at all. The wagyu sliders were flavorful and juicy. Perhaps their main menu options are better, but I don't think I'll find myself going out of my way to try them. Highlights:Great space/ambianceOkay foodOverrated/disappointing drinks

The most place is great and the happy hour is amazing and very well priced. However their outdoor waiter (I think Michael, but not sure name on tab)had a terrible attitude, never bothered to follow up with we wanted more drinks or food, did not make experience good, almost like we were bothering him. Sad to explain experience in such a nice place.

I went for a get-together last night and I thought I would leave fast and I didn't. The ambiance was laid back. There is outdoor seating if you like. It's in the grove so you get to people watch or I should say dog watch. It was fun.We arrived with happy hour and had a blast. I will definitely be going back. It's a gin place so if that's your drink, you should visit.We ordered from the appetizer list and we tried several different things. I ordered the yuca frita and the provoleta. Both were good and plentiful.

Located in or around what was a Mediterranean/ Italian restaurant in the classic cocowalk, Botánico is a nice little tapas spot where I joined a friend for a nightcap and bites after a Holiday party nearby. It may be the bougie version of Cheers since I also happened to run into an old professional acquaintance but anywho.Coming in without a reservation, we were able to get a seat at the bar. The menu is pretty varied and with a couple of large plates that caught my eye for an earlier visit, but for late night their tapas are where it's at. We sampled their burrata salad and fried green tomatoes. While the burrata salad could have used a little more balsamic vinegar per my pickiness, it was a very delicious 4.5/5. The greens and tomatoes were fresh, and the burrata cheese topped with pesto was perfectly cheesecut video worthy creamy.The 3 lightly breaded fried green tomatoes were served with different flavor combinations on the pork belly "sprinkle". I actually enjoyed the one with guacamole as well as the one with some type of bbq sauce.Nightcap usually refers only to drinks, and my old fashioned was classicaly on point with a smooth pour, orange slice and subtly smoky aroma. The sambuca and Porto were sweet closing notes for the night.

It's been a while since we ate here, but we saw they have happy hour all day every day so thought why not! Had a nice date night and tried the yuca fries and the tuna tostada with some $5 beers. The service was good and they gave a us a table outside because we had the dogs and provided a water bowl. The menu is small for happy hour but its good! Everyone could find something! Food was fresh as always.

My Negroni was good, but my boyfriend's cocktail was ruined by way too much salt that came from the rim of the drink. It tasted like ocean water. The provoleta was not too bad, but it did not come with enough crostinis and the crostinis it did come with were a little stale. My wagyu slider was good and so was his French burger. Service was a little slow and we didn't know why because they only had one party inside and a couple people at the bar.

It's amazing how quickly this place became a local gem in Coconut Grove! Whenever we go, we always hope to get Mike as our server. He always takes great care of us and is super friendly. The all day happy hour is another reason we come here so often they have a great selection of cocktails, five dollar beers, and super tasty food items as well. There's not a single one I wouldn't recommend. The decor is simple Yet elegant and the place is usually pretty full. I highly recommend heading over here whenever you're in the area.

Still great!! Our favorite cocktail was the Margot! Super flavorful and refreshing! The yuca fries were delicious with great dipping sauces. **Happy hour everyday all day (drinks)Bites from 4-7pm only**

It was a nice place to visit, and the server we had was on point. I enjoyed everything that we ordered (food and drinks) and it was nice to be able to enjoy the patio weather while we were here.
