This is a little outside of the downtown area but don’t let that fool you, it will still be packed so get there early or plan a little wait. A great mixed menu focused on BBQ with a Mexican flare.

This is a one stop shop for all your culinary, tastebud, beverage, scenery AND shopping needs. Any day of the week enjoy the market, where you can get coffee, pastries, breakfast items or shop for the perfect little gift. Botanic likes to make a lot of their own things and this is a great place to get jams, dilly beans, sweet treats, or even shop for some fresh food items and produce.
Sit outdoors on the patio and enjoy a cocktail from the outdoor bar either for daytime relaxation or to enjoy their many musical artists. At night you can cozy up to their bourbon bar for a pre meal cocktail. Their dinner and brunch in the Grille are outstanding and if you can manage a reservation, I promise they will not disappoint. A lot of their ingredients are sourced locally so the menu changes on the regular.
