| - I live right down the road from Dandelion Market and I really enjoy it. I know a couple great people who work there as well and I've never had a problem with the service, even on the crazy busier nights.
Dandelion is a great place for a dinner date before hitting the town or with a group of friends for a dinner celebration or just drinks! They get very busy on the weekend nights, though! This place magically turns into almost a club scene with loud music within no time after the dinner crowd starts to retreat. If you would like to check Dandelion Market out, I would suggest you go on a weekend night for a tapas dinner (which is delicious) and then stay a little while after for drinks so you can witness the "Raising of the Table" upstairs. The first time I saw it I was impressed by the grandeur of the display. There is a huge, heavy wooden table that is literally raised from the floor to the ceiling after the last party finished from it and right before they put on the music to get the party going! I don't think they have a specific time that they do this but if you ask to eat upstairs, you will eventually see it if you stay long enough afterwards. As soon as that table is raised all the way to the ceiling, it's dancing time!! Yeahhh.
As far as the food goes, it does seem a little pricey for tapas, but what do you expect from the uptown area? Everything I have ordered there has been delicious such as Lamb lollipops, Potato croquettes, Mac and cheese and much more. Try a little bit of everything and you won't be disapopinted. They also serve breakfast and even though I've only been once, I would definitely go again and recommend it for a non-traditional weekend brunch.
Dandelion also has a great draft beer and wine selection. Their bartenders seem pretty knowledgeable in what they serve so don't hesitate to ask if you are overwhelmed by the choices.
Overall, I enjoy Dandelion Market and find the staff to be super friendly and welcoming. Good eats and a really good time too!
