    Chicken katsu sandwich
    Elise P.

    We were there on a Saturday night and it was pretty crowded at the restaurant but we had a reservation. The service was fine nothing notable in a good or bad way. The host stand is in a high traffic spot so it was hard for our group to stay out of the way while we waited for our table to be ready. Luckily it wasn't too long of a wait. I were the chicken katsu sandwich and it was pretty good. The chicken was definitely freshly fried and the bread was good quality. The sliced cucumber on the side was a little bit of an afterthought imo but it was fine. This would probably benefit from like a pickled daikon or ginger side tbh. But anyway I'd come again since the vibe of the place was good.

    The atmosphere is what drew us to standard tap. The outside looks like a cute German pub and and inside is wooden tavern with warm lighting. The staff was pretty friendly and when we asked for a single drink between the two of us, they gave us two smaller glasses and split it which was nice. The beer itself was good. Nothing amazing but also pretty solid. The hazy was fresh and had a decent amount of haze.

    Loved this place. Such a cozy, fun atmosphere with great food and drinks. The rooftop is such a nice touch, and I can see why this spot is so popular. Definitely a great place to hang out with friends and enjoy the vibe.

    Standard Burger, cooked to a proper medium
    Matt W.

    Bartender (Kourtney) was super helpful in selecting a beer. Sometimes you go to a bar and everything on tap is unfamiliar, and a bartender might get annoyed by questions. Here, she talked me through a few of their special selections and made a few recommendations. I landed on a cask IPA that was smooth and strange and delicious. They brought me a complimentary orange scone and, buddy, it was fire. I don't eat a lot of scones but I have to imagine that's what they're supposed to taste like. Like a buttery biscuit but sweeter. I had the standard burger, medium, with extra pickles. Bartender warned me that it doesn't come with fries, I just wanted the burger though. 5/5 burger, 5/5 bread & butter pickles, 5 stars overall.

    I love it here. Recently went during a snow storm, they were the only ones open. I got the Sunday roast and it was better than in London. This is what food should be. And great drinks.

    Mussels

    Visited here for lunch on a Sunday. Pub style relaxing atmosphere. Good service, our server was very attentive without being smothering. I had the occutpus as my starter, the best octopus I ever had, DELICIOUS! For our entrees he had the mussels and I had the bunless fish sandwich comes with fries. The fries were delicious, rhe fish sandwich was a little to crispy/ extra well done for my taste. We also ordered desserts, both were good...just enough.

    I'm not sure why I've never been here before, but I'm glad I finally went! I wanted to see what all of the praise was all about with their Chicken Pie. That praise... is so very well deserved! It is, hands down, the best chicken pot pie I've had in Philadelphia. There are a lot of bad pot pies in the world. This one will make you never want to eat those other pies ever again. The chicken, onions, and veggies inside are slow-cooked to perfection. The crust is out of this world flaky good and very artistically presented. It's a huge meal by itself. If you're into homemade beers, Standard Tap has you covered. I will definitely return!

    Shrimp and Grits
    Michelle O.

    Greetings and salutations yelpers. On a recent visit to NJ we heading over to Philly for brunch. What a find this was. Upon entering greeted warmly. Our waitress was awesome. Offered great recommendations, constantly smiling and all around pleasant. As for the drinks, my party was not disappointed. At first I ordered a cosmo it was ok. However when I sampled the monarch, I was hooked. It assaulted all your tastebuds deliciously. As my group are foodies, we ordered almost everything from the menu. Food was bit salty but not enough not to enjoy. Octopus was good, however a combo bite of octopus, arugula artichoke and anchovies was delicious. Seared scallops yummy however the quince was a surprise treat. First time having and I was hooked. Pork belly prepared perfectly. Duck hash was ok wasnt my favorite. Shrimp n Grits equally delicious. For dessert flourless fudge brownie freaking amazing worth every bit of calorie ingested. If in the area definitely worth checking out. Until we eat again..Caio!

    Frittula omelette
    Megan Z.

    Sat on the beautiful porch on a hot summer day for brunch. The ambience cannot be beat. Unfortunately, was surprised at how lacking the service was for our meal. We ordered oysters for the table. They arrived very cold in a tray of ice. As we ate them, the ice quickly melted. When the waitress retrieved the tray, the oyster melted ice water splashed all over our table, making a significant puddle. For the rest of the meal, the waitress did not wipe the table down. We eventually asked for napkins and did it ourselves. The oyster water dripped into our coffees and cups of water, she did not offer to replace them. The oysters themselves were beautiful. We ordered the Dutch baby pancake and the frittula (pulled pork) omelette and enjoyed both. If the service had been good, this would have easily been a 5 star brunch.

    Is the lunch menu different from the dinner menu?

    We have an abbreviated menu that is posted on our Facebook Menu page.

    Are reservations needed for a wed or Thursday evening?

    Hi, Tom. If your group is small, you're probably fine without a reservation on a Wednesday or Thursday. However, we do recommend reservations for parties of 8 or above. I hope this was helpful.… Read more

When the big crowd from the conference left they opened the upstairs. The Mac and cheese is SO GOOD. Very creamy and rich, the bread crumbs were an amazing surprise edition. This fatty finished it before the beer came. Lots of beer choices. I took off a start be size they were under staffed. So we were just waiting around for the check and the waitress kept forgetting what we asked for. Honestly, not her fault. There were like ~100 people and only 3 employees that I saw. So no designated waiter for tables. These poor 3 employees were the bartenders and the table waiters.

A quick note for first-time visitors: the restaurant has multiple entrances, and I initially arrived at the back door. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful in directing me to the correct entrance. The space has a unique atmosphere.

I started with a cocktail and really enjoyed it. It was fruity, well-balanced, and had just the right amount of alcohol without being overpowering. Based on recommendations, I ordered the burger. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype for me. It could have been cooked better, and overall I wasn't particularly impressed with it. What stood out most was the service. My server was attentive, friendly, and checked in regularly without being intrusive. Overall, The Dandelion offers a pleasant atmosphere, excellent service, and great cocktails. While the burger wasn't a standout for me, I'd be willing to return and try other menu items.

They overheard us talking about how The Trough would be nice (feeds 8 for $300, but was more than enough for us 9), and said if we wanted that they could get it started as the table was prepared. We said yes, and were sat a few minutes later with drinks in hand. Jenna (Gema? She had grape earrings) was a fantastic server and just so kind and attentive.

The first thing I did was head straight for my favorite, Cantillon from Belgium. This visit, I tried their Kriek LG, a fruited lambic made by adding sour cherries to a two-year-old aged lambic. All I can say is... WOW! Tart, complex, refreshing, and dangerously drinkable. If beer could win an Academy Award, this one would be giving an acceptance speech. Now, let's talk food. I ordered the Thai Curry Mussels, and they were absolutely outstanding. The broth was packed with flavor, and the mussels were cooked perfectly. They easily rank in the top five mussel dishes I've ever had, and I've done my research! Pro tip: Don't make the rookie mistake of eating all the bread first. Save some for the end so you can soak up every last drop of that incredible curry broth at the bottom of the bowl. Trust me, you'll thank me later. The service is always excellent. John usually takes care of us in the back, and he consistently makes the experience even better with great recommendations and friendly service. In side is cozy and friendly!

A sizable pot of plump mussels in their black shells swimming in their liquor and considerable diced garlic and chopped fresh parsley. Delicious. The meal was accompanied by pommes frites and small slices of baguette for sopping. A chilled pint of Elder finished the monk's testament to excellence. Take a break from the cheesesteak and commit to the Monk. Well worth it.
