I have been here a few times over the years. Loved the place the first few times. Then, on my second to last visit, I was completely let down. All the more creative items had gone from their menu that I had continued to come back for. I tried some other less evoking things and was dissappointed. The prices were way too high for the ho hum I was served. On my last visit, the give them one more shot time? The food was a complete let down, the service was lackluster at best, our table was dirty, and (upstairs) it was so loud that it was nearly impossible to hear ourselves think (let alone converse). I have since adopted a new favorite place in Charlotte with amazing food, outstanding decor, impeccable service, and a wine list to envy. I will not be back to Dandelion. I had such high hopes. Alas, it was not meant to be.
