A great cocktail lounge with massive potential.
A mixture of high, bar tables and comfortable lounge couches make up the inner dining area. Really warm, cozy and romantic.
The service, from our waiter AJ, was impeccable, really great guy, very attentive and professional, thank you AJ.
The food was delicious, and St half price between 5pm & 8pm, it was a great deal.
Wé had 6 and a bottle of good wine, all for R510.
The one note I have ons the food is the presentation. It was served together on a platter. Although delicious, if they were served on small plates, it would have been 5star all round.
Overall, this is a brilliant spot for sipping on cocktails in a cozy setting. Perfect for romantic date nights or groups of 5-8 people.
I would highly recommend this spot, even if just for a cocktail before dinner at the steak restaurant next door.

This could possibly be my new
number one winter spot. The setting is very relaxed while being high end. The staff are next level, very attentive you almost just give a hand signal and they appear anticipating what your needs may be. I was extremely impressed. The tapas were also very tasty and perfect comfort food for a cold winters day. The place fills up fast so get there early.
My wife and I went there for our anniversary, very accommodating staff members. Live music and food was good too. Great experience will definitely be back there.
Great vibe, good food and awesome service. Live music definitely added to the atmosphere and the food and cocktails was a great way to end the weekend. Food and drink very reasonably priced just the croquettes was disappointing. Rest of the food was delish.
One of the trio of wonderful restaurants at D'Aria. An upmarket wine bar hidden behind Patina. Tapas style plates of an exceptional quality and reasonable prices. Attentive staff.
2 tapas plates, 3 beers and two coffees <R300.
Best Margaritas in the Northern Suburbs (I'm a fussy margarita girl), served by the friendliest barmen!
From the moment you enter the building, whether it be through the front at Patina, or the back entrance of Botany, you are greeted and welcomed by the friendliest staff!
Botany is one of my favourite stops for a few cocktails with friends.
The venue is decked out with classy decor and has a cozy fireplace for those colder evenings. Great for pre-drinks before heading to dinner at Patina or lazing around on a Sunday to live music.

The food never dissapoints🙂We usually order from the patina menu but sit at Botany which is more relaxed and has a really nice vibe,they play good music and it's pet friendly so definitely one our fav spots!
Amazing service, nice live music on Sundays, good food and great drinks.
Would recommend that they add pizza/focaccio to the menu, good for sharing.
Update:
Went to Botany recently again and what a vibe! Had the best date night with my husband. They are currently running a special, two tapas and a glas of wine/bubbly for R140. Very good deal.
