Botanya Restaurant & Bar 3314 West Cary Street, Richmond, VA 23221

"Cute dinner night restaurant right in the heart of Carytown. Food was pretty good, I especially loved their seasonal soup and the bar has a variety of options to order from. The internal decoration is really nice, the only thing I'd say is that it's a bit cold even indoors at this time of the year so wear a jacket! Otherwise, great for dates!"

"We had a great dinner. Shrimpballs, Carpaccio, pesto with shrimp, short ribs ravioli, and seafood paella and wine. They say the seafood Paella was for two, but the person with us ate the whole thing by herself. Also ended it with coffee! We loved it!"

"We liked it! Easy enough! Had a table reserved and walked right in. Greeted kindly. Waitress greeted, gave suggestions, gave jokes! Our drinks came, that were great! The food arrived and was very tasteful! I would say that the only down side is the street parking but wasn't hard to find a spot, that night anyway."

"Such a special place and staff, I hope to meet the person behind the magic. Try the unique cocktails! We had the Mascarpone and the Peanut Butter, Banana and Jelly. Delicious! The entrees were amazing and dessert, very special. The menu changes with the season so plan on returning again and again...we do! "

"I stumbled upon this gem a month ago and have since made a visit every week. I came on a Wednesday night and had a glass of wine at the bar, the atmosphere was amazing. Soft sounds, good authentic smells, incredible staff. A few days later, I did the brunch on Saturday morning. The passion fruit mimosas were absolutely delicious! I returned the following week to listen to some live jazz music, the pastas are great and everything is made IN-HOUSE. They have amazing cocktails, cappuccino’s, appetizers, and entrees! Keep in mind the menu does change quarterly, but so worth it!! 10/10 recommend!"
