Have eaten there half a dozen times; limited menu. We have not been happy with anything that we've tried on the menu other than one meal - some type of steak. I think they would be better off just doing traditional pub food. The wait staff is very young and inexperienced. One thing that needs to be addressed is the waitstaff talking about customers openly in front of other customers - it's a small place so you can hear every conversation, very unprofessional. Staff needs some basics on how to clear tables, take orders and serve food - as I said they are very young and apparently inexperienced. We go because we love the ambiance and it's close to our home. It is a distillery and their alcohol is good, so it has that going for it. I just can't recommend the food.

Outstanding mixed drinks with unique and deliciously flavored craft revivalist gins and resurgent botanical whiskeys. We discovered the Botanery Barn when the caterer for our daughter's weddings recommended the Summertide Gin for her signature cocktail. When picking up our order, we stayed for dinner. I had the lavender lemonade with Summertide Gin, which was very refreshing with a generous pour. We really enjoyed the charcuterie and hummus platters for appetizers - appreciated the locally produced meats and cheeses, including Birchrun Hills Farm. We all ordered the Salmon Wellington for dinner and shared the brussel sprouts with miso glaze and pomegranate seeds. It was all so good that we couldn't resist dessert ... loved the chocolate mousse and carrot cake. Can't wait to go back!

Our night at your facility was PERFECT. We came to see your featured singer Mrs. Anakai Ney, whose voice is so lovely. Her sweet voice complimented the ambiance, which further complimented the good company of my dear friends, who I came with. And the service................... WOW. Your servers were genuinely attentive without being pesty. They were all so refreshing and attentive throughout our 2 hour stay. ANd the Food....................... WOW, Again, I did not come with any expectations, but I have not stopped talking about how good the food was. Gourmet and all home cooked to perfection. My one friend and I had the shrimp tacos which were the best I have ever tasted, and her husband had the salmon, which he too raved about. I will be back to enjoy all of the above again. Your restaurant was an hour away from my house, but it was worth every mile. Thank you to you and your entire staff. Mrs.Sharon Bellitto

The added room behind the bar needs to be modified so that it doesn't feel like your sitting in the storage room. They could start by eliminating the plexiglass in the window behind the bar so that everyone could hear the musical entertainment. The waiter and waitress were great

The food and drinks were delicious. Our server Shelby was pleasant and efficient. We had salmon, it was great and served very hot which I really like. Atmosphere is lovely. The tables by the door are a little cold every time someone goes in and out but no big deal. If you visit in winter bring a sweater. I wish they were open for dinner all week ??

I ordered the cedar meadow steak, it was amazing! Bartender is amazing with recommendations! I forgot to take a pic of food before I started, and lucky I remembered before I finish, but mash potatoes are buttery and smooth! Omg! So yum!

Food was great (we had the pretzel, Alsatian flatbread, edamame, and Salmon. All of it was fantastic, I only wish it were closer to home! The live guitar was a treat and the cocktails were pricy ($15-17), but well-crafted, massive, and generously spirited. We probably should have split one, seriously huge. Also ended up bringing two bottles of very interesting looking gin home, apparently USA today ranked them best craft gin distillery in the US for 3 years running, looking forward to trying them.

Absolutely love this place. Some of the best burgers and shrimp tacos you will find aware. We live over an hour away and it is worth the drive! Michell and team never disappoint. Plus the smoked old fashion is outstanding. Take home a bottle of the custom cask bourbon.....you will not regret it!

Great Country location, beautifully restored Barn. Limited menu, but lots of interesting options. Our Empanadas were over cooked, but everything else was good. Good cocktails. Young servers were a bit too eager at times and we felt rushed. They close at 10pm, but we also felt rushed to leave by 9:30.

The drinks were a nice quality and portions were generous. The two appetizers, the empanadas and hummus were a hit with our group. The main courses were just okay. The happiest of the group ordered the bolognese pasta. The service and atmosphere were welcoming and warm. The distillery is always on our list to share with out of town visitors for its unique Chester county feel. Also consider adding a visit to Ryers Farm for the aged Equestrians while in the area.

BRAVO! Michelle, Cheryl and their hard-working staff are extraordinary! We live locally and love coming here regularly because the food is seasonal, fresh, creative and delicious. The cocktails are made with ingenuity, spirits are crafted onsite and the ambience is intimate, warm and cozy. Live music on weekends is a bonus. It is fabulous to see the growth at the Brandywine Branch Distillery/Bistro (now called The Botanery), and yet the charm and feeling from inception lives on and makes the Bontanery such a unique and fun place to go! Thank you for making us always feel special ...we can't wait to return again soon!
