    We had dined at the Dandelion previously and enjoyed our experience greatly. This experience was subpar. The dining area was limited and the server got my drink wrong. It was a little disappointing.

    We went for the Sunday roast. The presentation was wonderful with a medium size piece of prime rib each cooked to my dining companion and my liking. The beef was accompanied by a wonderful watercress salad, two nondescript potatoes. I guess they were roasted. They were kind of boring and seemed like an afterthought. I was very psyched for the Yorkshire pudding which turned out to be so dry and hard it wasn’t worth eating. We both left ours uneaten. A good meal which would have been great with minimal effort on the potatoes, and fresh, puffy yorkshire pudding.

    We ate outside on a beautiful Sunday afternoon, and the service was excellent. However, the food was mediocre. The salad contained a nice variety of vegetables and the dressing was tasty. However, the chicken was dried out, tough, and tasteless; it didn't seem freshly cooked. The fresh fruit was good and ripe.

    Delicious food and an ample Gluten-free options identified on a separate printed menu. This was great for our guest who has a Gluten allergy. This is a great choice with cute dining rooms arranged on multiple floors. We were seated comfortably in a room full of dog ornaments and motifs. Cute. I found the service friendly if a bit off. We had to flag down a server to order a second drink when the entrees were served. She seemed to ignore our table after we’d ordered. Other staff brought our food and cleared and a different server was flagged for the supplemental beverage order after ours failed to check on us or even make eye contact (I’ tried!). Definitely would go back.

    Each staff member was absolutely gracious. The manager came to our table and extended further exceptional service on an item. The chicken and duck liver pate was dee-freakin-lish-us. We enjoyed all the starters and entrees. We are coming back. With all our friends!!!

    We were a party of six & they accommodated us very comfortably. The atmosphere was « British Pub » which was unique. Our orders were taken & everything arrived without a problem. The food was « Pub-grub » and very good.

    I loved everything about this place. The food was great, the service excellent, and the ambiance is eclectic and unique. As well, I have a gluten allergy and my husband is vegetarian. We were both cared for well. Our server was extremely knowledgeable and careful to warn me of potential cross contamination. There was a gluten free menu and my husband had no problem finding (delicious) vegetarian options. I highly recommend this place. My husband and I will be back. Probably many times over.

    Ate in the bar room. Remembering a different menu when we ate upstairs. Food was good not knock your socks off. I ordered the rabbit pie in puff pastry and my husband ordered mussels. Mussels were wonderful, large & meaty but the broth they were in was boring. The rabbit pie was just okay. Not in a very interesting sauce. Looked pretty. My friends ordered bangers & mash and shepherd's pie. They seemed to like them but made no comment.
