This was our first time at Botl. We had a GREAT experience all the way around. Our server was incredible and a hard worker. What impressed me was after making my reservation and showing up at the time of the reservation, they already had our table ready with my name and party number written on the table. We will be back and will be referring others.

We have never had a bad experience dining at botl. The service is always excellent, the food is delicious with clever and well executed variations on recognizable favorites. If you haven't tried it I would most certainly suggest you remedy that oversight as soon as possible. You will not be disappointed.

Four of us went Saturday evening. Kelly was a really good wait staff member. She was very friendly and on her game. I had their signature pasta that was delicious with the side salad. My husband had the lamb Ragu. Our friends got the pork sandwich and the fugettaboutit. We all enjoyed our meals. The only thing that I’d probably complain about is the bread was just so so. The drinks were really good and they had a lot of bourbons For the guys to try, and apparently the old-fashioned were to die for. I had the strawberry basil something drink, and it was really good. We will definitely go back. Since our friends paid for the dinner, I can’t comment on the value. But whatever it was, it was worth it.

My girlfriend and I had a terrific time catching up. Everything was great. But what I appreciated the most was our server, whose name I did not get, was very patient and accommodating. Our reservation was for 6 pm but my friend got lost via her GPS and did not arrive until 6:35 pm. I asked that our table remain reserved and I was accommodated. A customer actually directed my friend via my phone how to get from Freeport Street to Botl. Thank you very much.

10/10 across the board. Fantastic drinks (bourbon, mules), apps (soup, salad and ahi) and dinner ( took main dishes up 5 notches.. burger, tacos to die for)… Wonderful atmosphere and amazing wait staff. Would recommended 1000%.
