Review Dandelion Market - Charlotte

Visited this restaurant tonight while trying to grab a bite to eat before our play started. The ambience was fantastic. The drinks were good but the spinach artichoke dip was the star of the experience. Definitely will be back again.

A friend and I decided to eat here after a chaotic day traveling. It was just what we needed. Great food, great service, relaxing atmosphere. We split the lamb, scallops, carrots and risotto, everything was bursting with flavor and cooked perfectly. Save room for dessert too!

The food was delicious. They serve small plates so you may need to order multiple to get full but, it’s nice to have a bunch of delicious options. The server was very sweet and beautiful. I recommend.

We are here last night. We had planned eating elsewhere but when we arrived the place we originally went to was closed. So we saw the Dandelion near by and decided to give it a try! To our surprise it was a lovely treat! We ordered a kale salad, fish, lamb and wings. The kale salad was very delicious, although I wanted a bit more dressing. (But we just stole the dipping sauce from the fish and use that and it was delicious.) The pecans were the highlight of the dish IMO. The tuna was a lovely surprise. Prepared very well and the addition of the picked onion, cucumber, and ginger with the wasabi sauce was on point. This was the star of our meal honestly. The lamb surprisingly wasn’t our favorite, I thought it would be but it was extremely salty on the outer edge so when you got bites of that bit it was hard to enjoy. But it was very tender. Also it comes with a salad on the side which is was nice except for the bit that was hanging out in the lamb side of the dish that was swimming in blood/red sauce. The wings were also amazing. Honestly they were neck and neck with the fish- I’m still upset I couldn’t take my leftovers (we had a show afterwards and they wouldn’t have kept in my purse or the car.) but cooked to perfection and flavor was AH-MAZE-ING We also ordered a drink from the bar, something with elderflower and it was also delicious. So overall- if you have a chance to go then do! You won’t be disappointed! Would definitely go again. Service was great. Seated quickly, server was helpful and kind but also efficient. Atmosphere is nice, although the tables are a bit small for all the plates - but the restaurant isn’t huge so I didn’t count that against them in my rankings. The only photo I snapped was of the lamb unfortunately, but all the dishes were equally dished beautifully.

Located in a Downtown alley with large outdoor marquee. The waiter was patient in explaining the menu and beverages. Don't forget the customer created Bloody Mary bar. A mouth explotion with every bite.

Hunter was a wonderful server! Our first time here and she did a wonderful job explaining the menu and providing excellent recommendations! My husband and I had 4 toppas, bottle of wine, crème brûlée and an old fashioned each. Everything was outstanding!!! We will be back!

Stopped in with a colleague late night after a work function. It was one of few places open at the hour we were looking to eat. The food was good overall. The cauliflower bites were good, Mac and cheese wasvery good. The ahi tuna wasn’t freshly seared but was tasty. The scallops were very disappointing. The menu said they were seared medium but they came overcooked , overpriced, and lacked flavor. This place seems good for small plates but it’s hard to make a meal out of the menu items without spending much more than you typically would for the same combination of items elsewhere.

I’ve been to Dandelion Market in Charlotte, North Carolina a few times now. I always have a good experience every time. The service is great. Our server Caitlyn was very attentive, friendly and accommodating. The food is also very good for the price. We shared a bunch of apps this time. I do believe they have some of the best mac & cheese in the city. We also have the mussels that were very good. The red sauce was delicious and it came with bread. The prosciutto and fig crostinis were OK. I don’t think I would order that again. The fries are always good- thin and crispy. They come with ketchup and an aïoli mayo that is really good and different. The wings were also good. Crispy but not saucy. The only negative about that is they had no blue cheese, only ranch. They were still good though. The calamari was also very good. It wasn’t rubbery but lightly fried and crispy and had a good flavor. They also have a pretty good beer list and wine. Another negative is that my wine was warm. One cool thing is they have a bunch of local beers that rotate. I’ll definitely go back to Dandelion for sure!!

Food was good, we were very happy to.enjoy pork belly and the roast short rib, fries were hot and cryspy...price was good. Restaurant needs an update it looks like a pub...and service could be better..but the food was good enough that make up.for the rest

Went in on a Sunday morning for brunch. I was in Charlotte for a concert and it was my first time here. The place was small but very nice, which i loved! Im a vegetarian, and they had enough food for brunch that I had multiple different options to choose from. The food was delicious and came out at a reasonable time. Would definitely recommend!
