| - Unfortunately, I, as of yet, haven't been able to make it into the actual botanical gardens. I did, however get to go out onto the non-ticketed patio and order a drink. Long line and it takes a while to get one, but the waitstaff were friendly enough. There was live jazz music that provided a nice ambience. The patio was very crowded, though. I had to take a seat on a bench in the back, so perhaps I should've made it there a bit earlier.
What I was really there for was to enjoy the ambience along with a red wine. I ordered the Illuminati Riparosso Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2009. Definitely not the best. Not really that good at all, but it was bearable. 5$ per glass, so not that big a loss. Nice menu, otherwise, though, and they had some interesting non-alcoholic drinks on there, too.
