Dandelion — Restaurant in Hendersonville

As part of Safelight, Dandelions serves a great purpose. However, their recent remodel resulted in nothing more than a new floor and higher prices. Food is the same, nothing new as I could tell and the day I ate there, service was subpar compared to numerous past visits. I don’t think we’ll be back but instead just cut a check to Safelight every year for a good cause. Asked Mgr what had changed, she stated the kitchen, so I wouldn’t have noticed.

We had the Shrimp & Grits with a Creamy Spinach and Chickpea soup as a size and a Champions Chicken Panini with the Cucumber...

Cute little cafe, they seem to have a lot of regular customers coming through. It is a section of a nonprofit organization, they were very busy so I didn’t ask more about it but I am excited to learn what they do on their nonprofit side. They have a pretty basic breakfast. Biscuits, omelettes, I had the grit bowl with veggies and bacon with feta cheese. I really enjoyed it and would recommend for a nice breakfast in downtown Hendo. They don’t have a large selection of drinks (this was odd) only hot tea, coffee and sprite? I heard them talking about not wanting all the sugar drinks in house. I would suggest some sparkling water options, maybe some fresh squeezed orange juice? Lots of good natural options available that would at least give...
