At The Dandelion, lunch runs from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., dinner from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m., and high tea from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Teatime is an integral part of the staff's daily routine, just as it would be in proper English restaurant. That's because when widely-renowned restaurateur Stephen Starr dreamed up The Dandelion, he used the gastropubs of London as his inspiration.
From the vintage-inspired chandeliers, glossy fireplaces (one wooden, one marble, one tiled), and statement drapes, The Dandelion transports its guests across the pond. Scarlet leather banquettes, a gleaming bar, and comfy lounge chairs round out the aesthetic at The Dandelion.
The restaurant's aesthetic is just part of its appeal, though. If you do decide to participate in teatime, you can also partake in some light appetizers like roasted spiced bar nuts, British cheeses, or deviled eggs. Larger items available at tea time include classic English eats such as beer-battered fish and chips and lamb shepherd's pie. Although the menus change regularly depending on seasonal ingredients, you might see items like roasted chicken, rabbit pie, or crab risotto on the dinner menu at The Dandelion. Pair your entree with a glass of wine or a pint of beer.
