    On a cold late fall day, is there anything better than sitting by a roaring fireplace enjoying light bites, delicious beverages, and friendly conversation? Dandelion delivers on all fronts in a way that many places do not including other Stephen Starr restaurants. It has separated, intimate spaces that allow many people to enjoy confined conversations in the little pockets in between. My friend had many food sensitivities and was able to navigate the menu to find 4 things they could enjoy while holding to their standards. All in all, this restaurant consistently delivers and excels in this time of year as a warm respite from the cold wind of the city.

    Had a great lunch and a glass of wine with my wife. The Quiche Lorain was delicious with enough to take home. The mushroom soup was a large serving and very good. I had the chicken curry sandwich which was also delicious. Also I recommend the deviled eggs. It was very festive with the decorations and holiday shoppers. The staff was very attentive and pleasant especially our waitress Danielle and a young man that chatted with us for a bit who may have been the wine steward. We have been here several times and will continue to go back.
