The Dandelion

Took our granddaughter there on her way back to school. We all loved the vibe, the food and the service. Definitely will visit there again!

Our first visit was on Sunday for brunch. It will not be our last.

What could be more nurturing on a cold winter night than comfort food at The Dandelion? Not much! This was my first visit, but there will be many more I promise. The fish and chips, and rabbit pie were both gourmet quality, with all the kinks worked out and some secret magic added in. Just amazing. I can't wait to see how The Dandelion will spoil me during the other 3 seasons!

Amazing meal and service. Great drink and food menu. Highly recommend.

This is one of my top 5 favorite restaurants in Philly. Everything on the menu is amazing and I love the old school pub atmosphere.

Fish and chips, beer flip, risotto nice comfort food

Was our first visit and was very enjoyable. We will be back with friends

Great, great meal, excellent attentive staff and really good food. Truly a lot of fun to have tea. Also an extensive beer list. No complaints at all. We will definitely be back.

Food & service was outstanding. And the Queen Mary Bloody is one of my favorites!

21st birthday brunch celebrated with 12 people. We could not have been treated better and the food/service was outstanding, as were the drinks. Highly recommend

This is a true story and I am still having time processing it. Plastic in my food. And it was "no big deal" to this place.

We have heard rave reviews, so we made a reservation for a Saturday. Food came out cold, but the manager stopped by to see if all was well and I appreciated that gesture.

Then i saw it. The shard - triangular shaped plastic. On my eggs $16 Benedict. It was about 1cm all around and luckily, I didn't miss it. But, how much had I eaten and not noticed?

I told the waitress who was appalled. But, then the manager came out and said "it's just from the containers we keep the food in, happens sometimes." Like this was a known thing and it was no big deal. I think finding non food in my food is a big deal. As in... dangerous.

He did give me his card as a courtesy. It still did not seem like a big deal to this place. We still paid $40 for our other two dishes/coffee, we did not insist on having meal comped - but we thought they'd offer? It was so odd the whole thing and so uncomfortable - and I was concerned about my husband and 5 year old's meals and bellies.

Mistakes happen, I get that. But this seemed like a known happening there and not important. I was in shock and didn't make a big deal and they just sort of said, "sorry oh well".

I would avoid this place.
For all the above reasons.
The oddity of it all, the unimportance...
The bill and awkwardness.
The fact that it happened ... and their weird response to it.

Yikes.

Also TURN THE MUSIC DOWN. Saturday AM brunch is for chill people - minus plastic in food and anxious music.

Here during Philadelphia Restaurant Week. Entree portion (Shepperd Pie) was rather small. Comfortabe atmosphere.

Excellent dinner and excellent service.

Went to The Dandelion during Philadelphia Restaurant Week. The meal was delicious from their Dandelion Salad to the Lamb Shepherd’s Pie to the surprisingly good Spotted Dick for dessert. Our server was attentive and suggested a great red wine that complimented the meal. Our dinner was served in a timely fashion and the surroundings were charming. Will definitely return.

This was the first time there and it was an amazing experience. From the ambience, the service and the food. Everything g was exceptional and well worth the money. The prices are very reasonable. I had the lamb Shepard’s Pie and it did not disappoint. I would highly recommend this place.

This was my second time at Dandelion. The food is excellent, service top-notch and the Old English charm terrific.

The tea is a fun experience! This was our 2nd time. I felt the tea sandwiches were very small. The food was good. It was better last time. I also think 1 pot is not enough for 2 people. Especially for the price.
The service was good. Best thing, the atmosphere!

Husband had the eggs Benedict and said it was the best he’s ever had. I had the burger and enjoyed it. Very comfortable space - we sat in the pub area. Friendly service. Will be back for dinner and afternoon tea service.

This was my first time to The Dandelion and we had a great time. The service, food and ambiance were all spot on. The drinks were awesome and the food was superb. Our waitress was super down to earth and took great care of us. I recommend the Deviled Eggs, The Cheese Plate and 100% you have to get the Fish and Chips (Homemade Fries).

Love the atmosphere! Such a cool space and perfect on a cold winters nights! The stout flip was creamy goodness. The carrot soup was life. And the cheesy cauliflower was the bees knees!!!

My wife and I had dinner at Dandelion prior to going to theater. The dinner was excellent as was the service and ambiance. It's a wonderful British pub - with a menu that is consistent with what I've had in London. We ate upstairs in the "Dog Room" which was fun. The table was a bit cramped but not uncomfortable. We loved the dark wood walls and everything that went with it. We highly recommend Dandelion.

Great food and great ambiance.

Difficult to decide among the varied offerings. As appetizers, had wonderful house made ricotta, several delicious breads, and a half dozen excellent oysters! Almost no room for the entrees, including beautifully prepared Norwegian salmon accompanied by sunchokes. Excellent craft cocktails. Definitely recommend and will return.

We celebrated a birthday at the Dandelion. The food was notable, especially the deviled eggs, fish and chips and bangers and mash. The "chips" - French Fries - were excellent. The only recommendation would be to buy Sarson's Vinegar for Great Britain, instead of the Heinz vinegar, for the fish and chips dish. Sarson's is so much more flavorful and authentic.
A great meal and would definitely return.

wonderful experience. our tenth wedding anniversary. Dandelion staff provided candle lit ice cream and cookie with their compliments. love the food and the beer is always diversified. we come here often.

Great service. Warm atmosphere. Honored seating request.

I took a friend to Dandelion for her birthday - she loved it! We had the roast beef and grilled chicken sandwiches with a side salad, both of which were outstanding. So fresh! Love the wooden serving planks. Jade, our server, was the best - just the right amount of attention and so knowledgable regarding the cocktail menu. We'll be back!

One of my go to places for out of town guests. Great place to have a business lunch.

To our party of four, The Dandelion delivered exactly what we'd expected, based on earlier visits: a fine English pub/restaurant atmosphere, attentive service by a friendly and well-informed staff, excellent preparation of typical pub food plus a few other specialties, and a discriminatingly selected variety of beers. All tables in our second-floor room were taken by the time we were ready to order, but we were served promptly, and the noise level was never so high as to hinder us from conversing comfortably at our own table.

I was looking for an affordable place to take my mom for afternoon tea and the Dandelion did not disappoint. We will be going again.

Early Monday lunch. Empty site but service was poor as a large party took over our waitress. Coffee was cold. Fries overdone and food not as wonderful as our past experience. Sparkling water had no sparkle. Portions smaller especially fish and chips. Poor value for the price Will not return

Went there for tea time, enjoyed the little sandwiches and treats with tea very much. Cute decor. Guess the only drawback is service. Waiters with straight faces, no politeness whatsoever. All you get is a high pitched "have a good evening" when they hand you the check for tips!

So delicious! English breakfast was outstanding.

Another fantastic meal at The Dandelion! This is the perfect location for a cozy brunch...the staff is super attentive, the ambience is very quaint and the food is delicious.

Simply perfect! Asked for a cozy table and got a marvelous view on the upper floor. Server and manager checked that we had all we needed and the food was excellent. We will definitely be back.

We love the dandelion. Super accommodating staff, amazing food. A+++++

Firstly, your waitstaff is fantastic! As dog lovers, we were immediately delighted with the dog pictures. Exiting guests were raving about tea time as we entered but we were just there for a light meal before a show at the Kimmel Center. The chef in our party was very pleased with the appetizers & drinks that we ordered. I already have my next 2 meals planned and we've made future plans to take our mothers for tea! Bravo!

Crowded, and food was on a plate instead of a tier, maybe they ran low... it was enjoyable but not phenomenal

Great food, love the genuine British atmosphere, and love the cask ales. The lamb shepherd's pie is delish!
Dandelion is one of my favorite restaurants.

Such a cozy and cool ambiance, the service was super attentive but not too intrusive and the food was excellent! Will definitely return for many meals.
