People are sleeping on the French toast burger foreal. Sure you can’t finish it in one sitting but then you have the other half for the best breakfast ever.

I haven’t been to a.kitchen in a while and decided to try it with friends and family. I was so pleasantly surprised at how comprehensive the menu was. I had the tuna melt, my sister had the eggs and my friend had the octopus and soup. It was so delicious. The staff was so friendly. The only down side was how loud it was in there. There was a large party there and it was very loud. I’ll be back.

Servers were incredibly kind and always there when we needed them. Seated immediately and food came out promptly. Had a super memorable anniversary and we even got some ice cream for dessert! Always a great experience at Dandelion and my go-to restaurant no matter the occasion!
