Reviews
The décor feels warm and inviting, with a gorgeous view of nature. Service is outstanding — welcoming, friendly, and accommodating — and it’s pet-friendly too.
We stayed at the Eastwind Hotel for the weekend and had dinner twice at their on-site restaurant, Dandelion. Not only is it convenient, but the food is tasty and the service consistently excellent. A perfect complement to a relaxing stay!
The menu features solid, well-prepared dishes that deliver on expectations without necessarily exceeding them. I opted for one of their pasta dishes, which was generously portioned and attractively presented. However, I found the seasoning to be heavy-handed – the pasta was noticeably oversalted, which masked some of the other flavors in the dish.
What impressed me most was how the wait staff handled this issue. When I mentioned the saltiness, they were genuinely apologetic and quickly offered to remake the dish or suggest an alternative. This level of attentive, professional service really elevated the overall experience and showed they care about customer satisfaction.
As the primary dining option for guests staying at the Eastwind Hotel, Dandelion could easily rest on its captive audience. Instead, they’ve created a restaurant that stands on its own merits. While the food may not be destination-worthy, it’s certainly satisfying and well-executed. The combination of pleasant atmosphere, reliable cuisine, and excellent service makes for a dining experience that leaves you content, if not completely wowed.
The ambiance was amazing, but the food and service were a letdown. My wife’s roasted chicken looked good but was undercooked and raw in the middle, while my burger had a decent patty but came with a cold, uninspired bun. When we raised the issue, the chef refused to take responsibility, insisting the chicken was cooked properly without apologizing or offering a proper solution.
The saving grace was the bartender, who later apologized for the entire experience and service. She comped a couple of excellent cocktails for us to enjoy in the sauna, showing the professionalism the kitchen sorely lacked. Despite sending back the inedible chicken, we were still charged the full amount, which felt like an insult.
Stunning setting, but a deeply disappointing experience.
We only meant to stop by for for drinks but were tempted by the seasonal and changing menu (meaning missing something once may mean you never see it on menu again).
The seafood bucatini was out of this world and the striped bass was even better.
We’ll be back, a really outstandingly good menu and a great location in which to enjoy everything on offer
