Went here for a birthday dinner and the ambience was very warm and welcoming. The menu was simple and seasonal. We went for the oysters which were so fresh and delicious. We also choose the shepards pie and rabbit pis. Both had a very rich flavor. The rabbit pie was a little on the salty side but overall tasty. Also go for the date cake with ice cream. It was exquisite.

Lovely atmosphere! That root soup was very good. Very fresh carrot flavor. The fish was very memorable. Serve unique British drinks as well. Mind you, it's British food so you aren't going for spicy food or even salted food at that in some cases. But it's a very well done "new" British.

This place is so cute and cozy! The lace curtains are super pretty and the menu they have is really sweet. The drinks they make are also amazing. I highly recommend the espresso martinis. The cheese and olives is also a must.

Amazing! We went for Sunday brunch and had the Sunday Roast. It was a juicy thick slice which seemed like prime rib and accompanied by the sweetest roasted root vegetables, roast potatoes, watercress salad, and the pop over Yorkshire Pudding which was quite large. The dish came with a small tub of rich gravy and a mild horseradish cream. While we came on an empty stomach, we had a lot of leftovers. Service was friendly and efficient. Our seats were on the first floor near the bar which definitely had an English Pub like atmosphere and decor. Highly recommend making reservations for this awesome experience.

The fish and chips at Dandelion were excellent,, perfectly crispy on the outside and tender, flaky fish inside. The fries were golden and well-seasoned, and the tartar sauce added a bright, fresh touch that balanced everything beautifully. It felt like a comforting classic done with real care. I would come back for sure

Absolutely gorgeous atmosphere, food, & service. We had the cheese board, scones, & oysters. Along with Citus gin * tonic and an espresso martini. Everything was amazing and we are excited to go again. This is a perfect brunch spot that I think almost any woman would enjoy.

Truly, one of the best fish & chips and one of the best Shepherd’s pies we have ever had. Excellent service. Great ambiance. We were seated at a cozy table in front of the fireplace. Very nice. Highly recommend. Oh, and the sticky toffee pudding was delicious!!

Celebrated our anniversary with lunch at The Dandelion and it was absolutely perfect! From the moment we walked in, the cozy British-pub-meets-elegant-townhouse vibe completely won us over—every corner is filled with charming details, vintage decor, fireplaces, and the most beautiful natural light. It felt romantic and special without being stuffy. The staff made our day even better: warm, attentive, genuinely friendly, and they even surprised us with a sweet anniversary touch that made us feel so celebrated. Food was outstanding—everything tasted incredibly fresh and flavorful. Portions are generous and every dish felt made with care.

I really enjoyed my visit here. The drinks were great, and the atmosphere felt lively and inviting. I ordered the triple cooked chips along with the steak and chips dinner, thinking it would be a straightforward choice, but it exceeded my expectations. The flavors were excellent, and everything was cooked perfectly. I would gladly order the same meal again.

What a cozy restaurant! Had a holiday dinner with a large group (about 20 people) sat in a nice area with a mantle and lovely holiday decor. The service was stellar! Our server and all of the staff members were friendly and on point. A good selection of specialty cocktails and also draught beers and wine to choose from. The food was delicious! Deviled eggs and ricotta and toast as appetizers. For my entree, I had salmon which was cooked perfectly and had so much flavor. We had honey glazed carrots and whipped potatoes as side dishes. Both were so tasty! The dessert tray of bite sized cakes was both cute and delicious. Chocolate, lemon, and toffee cakes were all good, though lemon was probably the crowd favorite. Overall, a delicious meal and a wonderful way to celebrate the holidays!
