    We love The Dandelion! It's a little noisy, but we were sitting in the pub area.

    Wonderful service and tasty food, a little noisy during peak lunch hours but it adds to the cozy atmosphere! I appreciated the variety of gluten free options and care towards allergies

    Our waiter was friendly & attentive. The atmosphere was cute, dark & cozy. We were sat in the bar room which I usually don't like, but it was decorated with dogs everywhere, even the curtains. We ordered some appetizers & an entree & they were all tasty. The deviled eggs had a very overpowering Indian seasoning. Drinks were good. We had street parking a 10 minute walk away which was convenient to the mutter museum & the restaurant.

    We enjoyed our Afternoon Tea with one exception. The music being played was not appropriate for tea time.

    The Dandelion never disappoints. We have been coming here for years for our office holiday/autumn lunch. Everyone loves it from vegetarians to gluten free to omnivores. Service, food, and ambiance are always top notch. We all enjoyed our dishes: deviled eggs, soup, Waldorf salad, chicken paillard salad, chicken sandwich, shepherd's pie, bangers and mash, chocolate set cream, Eton mess, and coffee. The Dandelion is always a treat!
