    Definitely eclectic place. Food was really good. Not overly large portions but not small either. We shared the fish and chips and a turkey club. Both very good.

    Ordered the porter house steak rare but it was cooked medium. Staff could not be seen from our seats to mention it so I just ate the steak as it. The salad and fries tasted great.

    The meal was delicious. However, running out of most drinks asked for was disappointing especially when the change wasn’t a nice drink.

    Five of us met for lunch and had the share plates. The service was friendly and efficient and the food was delicious. We stayed chatting til 5 but there was no pressure to leave at all. It is beautifully appointed, too, with a lovely ambience. We will definitely be back!

    We enjoyed the special Christmas set menus. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Food was fantastic with large servings. (We needed to bring desserts home as we were so full from first 2 courses. Very well presented and we will be back to sample the normal menu.

    We stayed at the Holiday Inn and dined in their in house restaurant. Food was tasty, presented well with generous portions. The standout was the outstanding service. The staff at both Holiday Inn and the Dandelion were amazing, so polite and professional. Would not hesitate to go back there again. Also kids eat free if you're staying at the hotel which was a bonus.

    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.
