Our third time back here and we were not disappointed. The Dandelion continues to have lovely staff, excellent food and we've been in the bar, upstairs dining room and the Dog Room - all delightful.

What a cute pub in the middle of Philly with the requisite dishes (shepherds pie, fish and chips etc). Holiday vibe is good with lights and a busy bar scene. Spent 3 hours catching up with a friend and the service allowed us space while keeping up with our order.

Service was unacceptably poor. 50 minutes to be served our drinks. Have been to Dandelion dozens of times and usually treated well. Hoping to rack it up to one poor server. Looking for another go to place

I was there for my anniversary. Made a reservation, checked in, three parties before me were seated, and then hostess asked what we were doing. Told them we had reservations and then seated. Felt like I was a walk in tourist. Service was slowish, told them we had theatre date and had ask for check early. It was a lame experience. Food, very good

A beautiful and cozy, multi-level British pub decorated to the hilt for Christmas and set in the middle of Philadelphia center city. The cuisine is out of this world and the service was attentive and excellent.  fish and chips were clearly homemade and prepared with care. The oysters were fresh and delicious, served with a very unique cucumber mignonette, which was reminiscent of a dill pickle. The chicken tandoori was a perfectly flavorful excursion. Even the salted butter that was brought out with the sourdough bread appetizer was a knockout. on my favorites list!!

Llegamos con una expectativa alta, es un restautante muy visitado y dificil de conseguir una reservacion La persona que nos atendio no fue lo amable que esperabamos para el prestigio del lugar. Nos fuimos pronto, no nos sentimos valorados

Went to Dandelion with high expectation based on reviews. It was crowded with a good vibe on Saturday afternoon on Nov 22. Started w front desk personnel being pretty rude and not accomodating when we requested a different table due to a guy at the bar basically sitting on my shoulder when I sat at our table. Drinks were good, server fabulous, cheeseboard great, lamb shepherds pie good, and Waldorf salad lacking flavor with no raisins and nuts. Greens were not fresh. Portions were very small. Great English type gastro pub, but better places in the Rittenhouse are!

Great food. Not many vegetarian options though. Also, even though the hummus was amazingly good, there was barely any quantity. It felt like it was all roasted veggies and just a dash of hummus.

The hostess found me a quiet corner where I could enjoy my favorite pub fare and a pint ... just wonderful.

My son took me for my 60th birthday for the Royal treatment afternoon tea. It was truly excellent, and there was so much food that we took the pastries home. The staff lit up a candle on one of the small cupcakes, which was a real treat. The sandwiches were all really tasty, and the decaffeinated Roobios tea was incredibly delicious and full bodied. I would definitely come back here. We got some deviled eggs and crab croquettes to start and those were also incredibly tasty. Best value for afternoon tea I have ever had.
Another restaurant that has been on the list of do's when traveling to Philly finally happened and I am glad it did. The food was fantastic. The Sticky Toffee Pudding was one of the best deserts I have had! My server Alexandra was AWESOME! Her personable demeanor was so great. Service was excellent! Alexandra and another server working upstairs took the time to sing happy birthday to me. On my next trip to Philly, I will definitely include a trip back to The Dandelion!

The food and service were excellent. The scones are the best ever! We were seated in the Dog Room which is supposed to be quieter but it was still pretty loud. We had a table in the corner so it was manageable. There is a lot to look at in the Dog room.
Melanie
This is a beautiful restaurant with delicious entrees and impeccable service. We always book the Dandelion when we are in town visiting our daughter.
David
Shepherd's pie portion was a little small for a one dish serving. Drinks and sandwiches were great!!
Kirk
Awesome food, great service and decor, very reasonable prices. Really enjoyed the Rabbit Pie and Sticky Toffee Pudding!
