I really enjoyed my lunch at the Dandelion. The atmosphere was billed as an proper English pub and it almost felt like one. In addition, the service was on point (very attentive and personable). I genuinely felt our server cared about our dining experience. I cautiously took his recommendation on the fish and chips (because whenever I order them, I am usually disappointed because they are too greasy). However, I was pleasantly surprised with the fish and chips at the Dandelion. They were light, fluffy, and quite tasty.If I had to list any negatives, I would note that the hostesses could have been more attentive and that an additional cod filet would have been appreciated. Other than that, I would highly recommend the Dandelion!

Very interesting venue (multiple floors and nooks, dim lights) and great service. However, I found the food very average and pricey. Not a meal I will remember. We had crab croquettes, fish and chips, and mussels. The croquettes were a bit under seasoned and over fried, for my taste. The fish was good. The fries were a hit or miss. The thinnest ones were great. The thickest one were soggy on the inside. The mussels were well seasoned, and a good portion. The baguette was dry and flavorless. We had two gin-based drinks and found them very decent and reasonably priced.

Cozy, upscale British style pub with a great selection of food! I’ve walked past here a million times, and finally stopped in for lunch with a friend.For apps, we ordered the crab croquettes and cashew hummus. The cashew hummus was very creamy and all the vegetables were delish. The crab croquettes were OK, a little too salty for my liking.I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich for the entree and I don’t typically finish an entire sandwich, but I sure did! The sandwich had the perfect combo of crunchiness with the bread and softness with the tomato compote and avocado. The side salad was a bit bland.

The Dandelion is a charming spot that blooms with British pub vibes. From its cozy fireplace to the hearty fish and chips, it’s a slice of London in the heart of Philadelphia. The warm wooden interiors invite you to linger over a pint of ale while enjoying classic comfort food. Whether you’re catching up with friends or seeking solace after a long day, The Dandelion offers a delightful escape. Cheers to good company and a taste of Britain!

Lovely upscale tavern with a wide variety of drink and food options! My friends and I came here for an early dinner at 5 PM and we noticed the place filling up quickly as we got closer to traditional dinner time, which was unsurprising given the excellent service.Atmosphere is wonderful, very comfortable yet chic.We ordered the croquettes, fish and chips, a steak dish, and the cheeseburger with marinated carrots. My fish was nicely cooked and the fries were very fresh, but I will say that their portions are on the small end given what they charge ($27 for the fish and chips, which only consisted of one medium sized cod and a small tin of fries). Luckily, I still found the meal filling.Service was incredible. Our waitress was kind and patient.All in all, this place is recommended for the lovely atmosphere and service!

The dandelion is hands down our favorite date spot. The duck liver pate is my favorite dish ever and is the only food I get actual cravings for! We even had our rehearsal dinner here and they did not disappoint! The food and drinks were all incredible and our guests walked out full and merry. Ambience is also A+

Fish and chips at Dandelion are on point and tasty, but in the history of ordering fish and chips for dinner anywhere, I have never had one small piece of fish and a handful of chips for $27!
