Bit of a stuff up at the front desk that took quite a while to sort out. Food was good but not nearly as good as our first picnic.

We booked the 'luxury' version of the Botanic House Restaurant picnic for Sunday 9/1/22.
The food we DID receive was really very good, and the presentation for a picnic lunch was lovely.
However, it seems there is a 'disconnect' between Pelago and Botanic House.
The luxury version was said to include: a welcome cocktail/mocktail, lychee pudding, almond cookies, tapioca and coffee/tea. NONE of these was included, and when we asked the restaurant about them, they very courteously informed us that they had no idea about them.
As well as this, the luxury hamper we paid for was to include a 'bottle of wine from our premium selection'. The 3 wines one could choose from were definitely not from the 'premium selection' - all of them retailing for $20 to $23, and all at the lowest price end of Botanic's wine list. Disappointing.
