    My 11 year old granddaughter loved her first tea at Dandelion. She asked me to make it a yearly tradition for her birthday, which I agreed to without hesitation. The tea and food were delicious and plentiful. The service and ambience delightful.

    We enjoyed lunch. Many menu options. Service was excellent. it was too loud. There was a booming noise in the background which was unnecessary and annoying.

    Creative menu and nicely sized portions. We split a salad and two small plates and it was delightful. The up tempo 80s music is a little much (chew faster!) but otherwise the place has a nice vibe.

    The food is always amazing. Our waiter was very nice but you can tell that they were understaffed.

    The food was pretty good and we have a nice waitress but she was awful in terms of service. She didn’t come to check on us after getting waters, did not clean our table after apps, and when we were ready to pay, she was chatting with a friend and the bartender in plain sight of us. It was a Monday night and it wasn’t busy. The host who checked us in wasn’t the most friendly- not sure I can recommend this place as I have seen on other reviews about the terrible service.
