   This is an absolutely authentic British gastropub. Visiting Philly and went there two days in a row because it reminded me so much of pubs and Sunday roasts in the UK. Lovely, cozy place with lovely staff and delicious food.

   I was hoping that the sauces and gravies would be more flavorful. Instead they tasted too strong and overwhelmed the taste of the dish.

   This place doesn’t disappoint. I’ve been to The Dandelion 3 or 4 times. Great atmosphere. Great service - friendly, timely, never felt rushed. My wife and I took friends here because it’s a refreshing and relaxing place to go. Well done, D!!

   Dandelion was great. Service top notch. Fish and chips amazing. Mac and cheese always great for toddler.

   It is always a joy to visit The Dandelion. I adore the aesthetic of every single room in this place! We celebrated my 31st birthday with deviled eggs, that amazing ricotta spread on toast, a chicken sandwich on walnut bread, and a rose mimosa in a cute little glass. Everything was a delight. My husband had a Pirates of Penzance drink and a skate sandwich (he reports both were great). I wanted to specifically mention our server, Jayden (not sure if this is how they spell it). Jayden was kind, courteous; we felt very attended to. Folks like Jayden make the Dandelion my favorite place in Philadelphia. Thank you!

   Cute place with charm, nice looking menu and lots of potential. Execution of food is very sloppy - the food wasn’t properly seasoned and it was presented poorly. The fish was tough, overcooked and bland. The hamburger was ordered medium but came well done and was covered with very wilted lettuce. Drinks were very expensive - between 15 and 20 for a cocktail - and nothing special. Overall this place needs a deep cleaning - bathrooms were filthy and trash can was overflowing. The music was so downtempo it felt like the staff had to be asleep. Skip it.

   Beautiful place, excellent service starting with the girl at the entrance (whose name I don't remember) who accompanied us to the table and the waiters. Delicious food. Really recommended place!
