Exceptional staff, service, ambiance, food quality and hospitality. This is my third time enjoying Hector’s creations and he never disappoints. The Botanist staff is worth experiencing as much as the food. Absolutely superb quality and food pairing, wine paring and menu creativity. The menu changes with the season but if you are around in the winter anything suck, lamb or pepper salmon is and will be divine. This is a must experience!

Excellent experience. Last year we dined at reflections for xmas brunch and it was far too noisy, service was extremely slow and food was okay. This year was much better at 1927 lobby bar

The holiday high tea was wonderful. The only caveat was that we didn't know there was a time limit for how long we were able to be there. I understand the need to ensure people don't linger too long, given how popular the high tea experience is, but I would have liked to have known how much time we had. It came as a surprise when we were told that 75 minutes were all we had, and that they were up. Otherwise, an outstanding holiday experience.
