    Loved finding this gem downtown. The restaurant is in a lovely old building and the decor in the room we dined in was all dogs. So cute! The ambiance in the other rooms was great too. We dined at lunch and it was Rabbit pie for me and Shepherds pie for my date. Both were delicious. I noticed they have Goslings rum and ginger beer so I had to order a dark and stormy! Great beer selections too. Definitely recommend.

    We’ve been to Dandelion many times and it’s our go-to spot when we host out-of-town visitors. It’s the perfect location … the food is always great, the rooms are exactly what you would look for in a traditional English pub, and the service is reliably impeccable. We look forward to many more lunch, brunch, and dinner opportunities at Dandelion.

    Lunch was a perfectly grilled chicken sandwich on toasted walnut raisin bread topped with an herb mayonnaise and served with a fresh green salad. The sandwich was generously sized perfect for two ladies to share, we also enjoyed the creamy winter root vegetable soup yum!

    We come to The Dandelion during every trip we make to Philadelphia and we are never disappointed. I would recommend it to anyone for a variety of occasions -- dinner with friends, romantic night out, and others as well.

    My party of 3 was fortunate to be seated in an upstairs room which is cozy and relatively quiet. Service was attentive and prompt. We enjoyed the deviled eggs before main dishes, which were modestly sized (fish and chips, rabbit stew) except for the baked trout, which was covered in more beans than I could eat. Everything was tasty, including the desserts. We very much enjoyed the meal.
