I went there for Valentines. The place was packed as expected for such occasion. They basically had a fixed menu, which was very convenient. I asked for a cocktail, which was too strong, and I had it replaced with another one. They didn’t charge me for the one I asked first. The service was excellent, and the food and dessert were also very good. I gotta try the brunch on the weekends. I definitely recommend this place.

Nicely curated restaurant serving terrific Mediterranean cuisine! Every dish was made to order with a mix of Mediterranean flavors throughout. Freshly baked pit straight from the wood -fired oven is a terrific accompaniment to the very tasty hummus.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Fresh and Flavorful Addition to Fairfield County
Dandelion is such a welcome addition to the Fairfield County dining scene. From the moment we sat down, both the food and service impressed. The wood-fired pita and hummus are absolutely incredible — easily some of the best I’ve had anywhere — and the Moroccan cigars are a must-order.
Every dish had that perfect balance of flavor and freshness that makes you want to come back and try more. The only miss for me was dessert, which didn’t live up to the same high standard as the apps and entrées — I’d definitely skip that next time.
Overall though, Dandelion delivers a truly memorable dining experience, and I’ll definitely be back for another round of those starters!

This place is utterly outstanding. It should be on the Michelin star list. All the flavors of every dish complement each other. The hummus and pita was th best I have ever had and could eat it go every meal for the rest of my life. The lamb belly was impeccable. The chocolate moose dessert, oh my. Sara made the best cocktails and was a delight to talk to and offered solid recommendations and great service. If I could leave 10 stars I would!

COMPLIMENTS TO THE CHEF AND STAFF!
Thanksgiving 2025 here was the best holiday dinner ever! Every course was excellent and well thought out. Great idea to give family style for apps and sides and only take orders for the entree and dessert especially on a busy holiday. Each course was timed perfectly. The food was fresh. The turkey was moist. The potatoes were crispy. Felt great value was given.

Ate here while staying at the Delamar Westport. The restaurant was very busy, but the food and service weren’t affected. I ordered too much food, but they had so many items on the menu I wanted to try. Everything was delicious- Moroccan Cigars, Roasted Sheftalia sausages, Wood Fired Broiled Prawns, Dandelion Salad, Hen of the Wood mushrooms, Baba Ganoush, Pita… all excellent. 5-star dining experience. I’ll be back next time I am visiting the area.

Delicious food, beautiful decor, fun vibe and great service. We ate outside where it wasn’t as loud. I was as pleasantly surprised how good the food was.

Went to Dandelion with a group of 8pp recently and had the best experience! We were able to dine in a private room with a beautiful big table, so we could all talk, laugh and really enjoy ourselves. The restaurant was gorgeous and beautifully decorated for the holidays. Tori was an incredible bartender, we were well taken care of by our servers, including Michael Egan who oversaw our entire experience and we were able to meet the catering sales manager Laina who was lovely. The food was delicious! We had a lovely time and hope to be back soon.

A horrible experience from the moment we booked a reservation. We were called the day before Valentine’s Day (our reserved day) to let us know that there will be a fixed menu that day. There was nothing on the fixed menu that me or my partner liked putting us having no where to go on Valentine’s Day because they called us the day before to let us know, ensuring we would not be able to obtain another reservation somewhere else. When we called to cancel to make sure we did not get charged $100 for not showing, the woman we spoke with was beyond rude. We confirmed with her that there would be a fixed menu and she said “yep fixed menu, you get what you get”. She would barely let my husband speak and was continuously cutting him off. We are now left with no where to go for Valentine’s Day. Thanks a lot Dandelion.
