The Dandelion

Went there solo. Was pretty busy so i had a table outside but it was right under the heat thingy, which was nice. At first service was pretty slow (but they were busy), but eventually I received the attention I expected. The Homemade Ricotta is to die for. The drinks were great as well. I ordered the fish and chips as a main. The fries were great, the fish was also great but the breading was salty in my opinion (and i enjoy salty food). Over all, I wish I was sat inside, but people watching is fun too.

The Dandelion is a nice restaurant tucked into a street corner not far from the Courthouse. The restaurant is set up much like an old cozy city home from the late 1800s to early 1900s. Food and drinks were good and they had a decent beer/wine/cocktail selection. I had the root vegetable soup for an appetizer, which was on the creamier side, but still good. I had the house burger medium well, which was suggested if I was looking for medium. Honestly I would have preferred it to be a bit more rare, so if I were to try it again, I would go for medium rare. They didn't have a "medium option". I am not sure why. Service was good and the wait staff was pleasant. I look forward to going back to the steak or maybe the fish and chips.

True to form - awesome place. And oh my gosh, the bread! And ricotta... And cultured butter. Awesome selection of beers and great on/off-menu cocktails. All of the food was top notch and just what you'd expect from a traditional pub. Service was EXCELLENT and there was such a cozy vibe. The kind of place you can get lost in over a few good drinks and some stellar food and service.

We stumbled on this restaurant while we were visiting Philly. We looked at the reviews and decided to try it out. My son and I definitely enjoyed our time here. Dixie was our server and she was simply the sweetest. She made us feel welcomed, took time to explain different menu items, and cracked a few jokes. The restaurant itself was bustling, but it was clean, warm and inviting.

Everyone knows the Dandelion, so it had to be tried. The food was excellent, we got the charcuterie and whipped ricotta as appetizers.. they were delicious. I opted for Fish & Chips, and the fish was cooked perfectly. The service was ok, but the atmosphere was so nice. It was a rainy day and they had the fire place roaring. Felt like London. I hear they have a great happy hour, I’d love to go back and try it!
