    Service was poor - had to call on service several times (eg order food, remove plates, see dessert menu). Pricey for a barramundi dish - although the fish was very well cooked, it was a small proportion and overcompensated with too much chips and basic salad.

    We booked in for an early dinner before a nearby event and were the second table in there (party of 4). After being seated we had to find someone to take our order as no one came to the table. The server was nice and accommodating but that’s where it finished. Two of the group received their meals while the others waited another 15 mins for their food! Pastas at that. No one checked on us or made eye contact to let us know about the delay and when it finally arrived and we mentioned the delay it was because they had to cook mushrooms!! LOL. The food was bland and very not worth the wait. The chicken schnitzel had some random seasoning on it that made it taste funky. Arancini had no flavour but luckily we had aioli for our chips that we could use to help with that. I will credit them for the lamb burnt ends. They were amazing, hot and tasty. This place has a reasonable menu and potential but needs to focus on stepping up their game. Imagine if it was busy and not a 5pm dinner!!

    My partner and I were just looking for a quick place to eat prior to an engagement later in the evening and we were fortunate to have found Dandelion Lounge & Eatery. Very friendly and courteous staff. Food was delicious. Will definitely come back.

    We enjoyed our time but seemed very short staffed on the night. Meal took a while to come out and we were one of three tables dining at that time. Staff were very friendly and warm.

    Service was very good. Had a lovely waiter called Caleb who was very friendly and made myself and my husband feel very welcome. Bar service was excellent and food was delicious. Would highly recommend venue.

    A lovely modern aesthetic & yummy meals. The staff were lovely & advised me of the perfect meal & drink combination for my son & I. If I am ever looking for somewhere to eat in Dandenong this is the place I will go.
