Botanero Restaurant

Had dinner at Botanero restaurant in Rockville, Maryland. It is a small plate menu which offers many choices. We made our reservation via OpenTable, showed up early, and they were able to accommodate us. Menu consist of flatbread and dips, salads and vegetables, charcuterie and cheese, seafood, poultry and meats. A large section in each. For dinner tonight we started with the hummus spread. Loved the roasted carrots on top, and the hummus was excellent. Next we had the Beef Brisket (Chef Special), Deviled Eggs, Shrimp Tempura and Beef Empanadas. We passed on the.Brussel Sprouts, but the table next to us ordered them, and they look delicious. The deviled eggs were my favorite, followed by the beef empanadas. The deviled eggs were spicy and melted in your mouth. The beef empanadas Came with a citrus aïoli, which was excellent. For dessert, we had another chef special, which was the White Chocolate Lava Cake. It was so good, I could have eaten two. For drinks, we had a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon, coffee, and lemonade. The service by Roger A was outstanding. When I asked, made several recommendations, and was very attentive. Until Roger pointed it out to me, I had no clue there was even a second section of the restaurant, which was even larger than the first. There is a sit down bar as well. In the main dining section, it is a little tight, but that is fine with me. Parking is street parking and some lots nearby. Overall a good dining experience with great service. We will go back. Enjoy! Vegetarian options: Large section of salad and vegetables Dietary restrictions: Menu identifies selections made with gluten-free ingredients. they can also accommodate changes to some of the selections Parking: Street parking and some parking lots around the area. Wheelchair accessibility: Although the tables are tight together, it is wheelchair accessible.

Service and food time was pretty slow. Yes, it was Sunday brunch, but zero table communication to the table is kind of a no Brainerd. Just tell us you're in the weeds. Food however, spot in and perfect. Great coffee/cappuccino.

We held my sister's baby shower at Botanero and couldn't have been happier. The food was delicious, and the menu was expansive. The management made it very easy for us to figure out all of the small details for the event in advance. They were accommodating and helpful. The space was perfect for what we needed, and our server was fantastic. Highly recommend if you are looking to hold a small event!

Botanero is a great spot in Rockville. The food and service are always great! Try the ceviche, it's my favorite!

Excellent tapas style foods with great drink selection. Popular brunch spot.
