- LLisaVIPPhiladelphia County •20 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoWe had come into Philly to enjoy some holiday shopping and I thought Dandelion would be a nice, cozy spot for lunch on a cold December day. It was perfect! We were shown to a lovely corner booth upstairs where every table was full, but the noise level was a non-issue. Bella proved to be a knowledgeable and professional server and had good suggestions regarding beverages and menu selections. I enjoyed the salmon pate and my husband's burger was terrific. It was the typical Stephen Starr restaurant experience: creative, authentic decor; well-trained professional staff; and great food.More infoThe DandelionPrice: Moderate• Gastro Pub• Center City•4.7
- BBebeVIPPhiladelphia County •31 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoHad a delicious brunch at the Love-excellent service, interesting menu, large portions. I would give it 5 stars but the potatoes served with the eggs were useless-too salty, no other seasoning-just unembellished potatoes straight from the fryolater. Everyone at the table agreed. Everything else was fabulous, tho.More infoThe LovePrice: Expensive• American• Rittenhouse Square•4.8
