Lovely staff, beautiful outdoor dining and an amazing chef/owner. What a delightful evening

Ambiance was nice, somewhat more sophisticated than most other eateries around, but still casual and enjoyable with the live music. Enjoyed a Manhattan to drink, and would recommend the drinks based off that. Had a less than pleasant experience with the food, as I requested certain items be left off a dish due to a food allergy. They acknowledged and said it would be a problem to accommodate. I appreciate them trying, but they delivered the food with the condiments that contained allergens hidden under the main portion of the meal. I realized at the very first bite, and to their credit, they took the dish and had a replacement out in short order. (This turned out to be interesting as the second iteration was delivered hot, whereas we all received our first dishes cool to cold). I’m fortunate my allergy is merely unpleasant and not life threatening, however, that kind of mistake by kitchen staff is an issue. Could still recommend to others, but with caution to double check orders and requests.

We LOVED our dinner on this beautiful patio. The food was amazing. We had the poached salmon and the trout special and it was SOOOO good. What made it even better was our wonderful server Alora who really made the night fun and special. We highly recommend and will absolutely be back. Most definitely our favorite restaurant in Durango!

Trish was our server and we couldn’t be happier. She was attentive, alert and kind. She really connection with my teenage daughter as well on topics outside the restaurant. Food was rock solid. We will be back.

The Mediterranean menu that Dandelion offers is just delicious. We started with assorted olives and continued with the Spinach Salad and Stacked Eggplant and Fontina Sandwich. Wine complimented the meal. The outside patio was quite comfortable and dog friendly. A quaint little cottage done right!

The food was natural and healthy and very fresh, it was delicious. I highly recommend trying the specials. The service was excellent. I'd recommend sitting outside because it gets loud inside and feels cramped. My only complaint would be the portion size and price. Two of us spent almost $100 on an appetizer each and dinner and we were both still very hungry when we left. Not the kind of place to go if you're ravenous unless you're ok with spending a lot.

What a joy to find a place that pays so much attention to the quality of food and service. It's on 2nd Ave, so a little quieter and less of a crowd than what you'll find on Main. The lamb burger and gyro were both excellent.

Had a great lunch here. Got a hibiscus iced tea at a nice table in the shade. Food was definitely inspired, simple, local ingredients. Definitely give it a try for some healthier seasonal food!

We actually started of trying to go to another restaurant down the street but it had a 2 1/2 hour wait, so we walked down the street 1/2 block and fund this restaurant where we were seated immediately. The menu looked very interesting with their variety of foods. We all ordered different items and were pleased with what we got. Even the kids were happy and they are picky eaters. They suffer from being short on personnel like most places but the staff is very attentive. If they have it when you visit check out the Key Lime pie. It is one of the very best that I have every had. I was in Key West last month so I have some good ones to compare it to. I found the prices to be very reasonable considering the current times. The day we dined there they had a jazz ensemble there which made the dinning experience very nice.

Excellent and innovative food.It’s very a very small boutique restaurant.I ordered some fantastic sorted olives and some very good and interesting calamari.And the Torino penne pasta was a delicious,healthy and substantially light dish

Fantastic quality food. Attention is paid to the smallest culinary detail right down to the flawlessly crisp fingerling potatoes. The service - of course it is impeccable. What a find in Durango!
