The Dandelion

Great service, good food and excellent location. They were able to accommodate us on a busy night w/o reservation by making a few changes to their tables, which I always appreciate. Our server was knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Food and drinks were brought at the right time and in sync. It is hard to point out our favorite dish as all of them were great! the steak with fries, which come with a fantastic salad was cooked perfectly. The salmon was juicy and very well prepared. The chicken was also very tasty and the mussels were swimming on a delicious buttery broth. Excellent location with a great English menu and ambience that makes you feel in London, right here in Philly.

So good we went twice in one weekend! The dog room is my absolute favorite - so many beautiful pieces of artwork and figurines that are so fun to look at while you're enjoying your meal. Honestly, the ambience of this entire place is spot on and really cozy. The service was excellent and the food & drinks were fantastic. Highly recommend the Jungle Lion! We had the ricotta appetizer, fish & chips, and dandy burger.. and are still drooling over the warm bread and salted butter. Can't wait for our next visit!

Stopped by for brunch the other day and had a great time. Was pleasantly surprised by how cute and cozy it was inside. Great location, fast service, and good. The grilled sandwich was great, everything else was decent. I would love to come back to try dinner one night.

My fiancée and I were able to get a table for two in about 20 minutes on a Saturday night without reservations. We split the deviled eggs which were really really good. She got the Macaroni & Cheese with the braised ham hock and English cheddar which had the perfect balance of flavor between the ham and cheese and a nice crisp on the top. I had the Rabbit Pie which was fantastic. The pastry on top was delicious along with the filling. The serving sizes aren’t overbearing which is nice if you are in Philly just for the day and don’t want leftovers. Between the deviled eggs, macaroni and cheese, and rabbit pie we were comfortably full. We probably could have split a dessert but didn’t want to overdo it. Service was fast and friendly and the atmosphere was very cool.

Fun afternoon place for great tea vibes! All of the rooms are cozy and their cups and plates are cute. The snacks/little bites for high tea were delicious. I loved all of them and the rest of my group did too (the scones especially were 10/10). While I myself am not the biggest fan of tea, the rest of my group enjoyed the tea very much. I would definitely come back here!

Excellent British style gastropub. Delicious food, nice staff and great ambiance. I always try and make a stop here for a meal whenever I can. I really enjoy the fish and chips as well as the beer selection. The homemade Ricotta and deviled eggs are wonderful as well. Stop in if you are in Philly....you won't be disappointed!

My meal at The Dandelion was the first time I’ve really tried any authentic British cuisine! The Welsh Rarebit was tasty, and my mom really enjoyed her chilled yellow tomato soup. I ordered the Mac and cheese (I just can’t not order mac and cheese when I see it) and the ham in it was such a tasty addition! My friend had the bangers and mash, which he loved, and my dad had a burger (forgot to take pictures of these). He was a little disappointed in the burger and thought it could’ve been more flavorful, but it was cooked perfectly. Very good service. I had knocked over my water glass and they were kind enough to come over and wipe up the spill. The atmosphere was so cool and a great prequel to my friend’s upcoming trip to London!

Excellent location – I can’t say that enough. Rittenhouse Park is a block away and gave me a great spot to relax until my friend joined me. I really liked the setting too. I ate outside, but the inside had a swanky look to it that I enjoyed. Great outdoor seating with many patrons passing by the table on a Thursday summer night. I had the fish and chips that were good (7/10). Big piece of deep friend cod and the fries were delicious wedges. My friend had the tandoori chicken and said it was good. I ordered a whisky soar but would pass on the drinks next time – just too expensive for the quantity. Overall I’d come back for the location, setting and service, and would recommend The Dandelion to anyone looking for a sit down meal in the city.
