About

Dandy operates as a sophisticated bistro that emphasizes the intersection of artisanal culinary techniques and market-driven ingredients. The interior design reflects an industrial aesthetic characterized by high ceilings and expansive windows that illuminate the open dining area. Menu offerings focus on elevated classic dishes, featuring thick-cut sourdough toasts topped with seasonal produce and house-made ricotta. The kitchen consistently utilizes fresh, locally sourced components to construct balanced plates that favor structural simplicity over complex plating. Patrons experience a lively atmosphere where the focus remains strictly on the quality of the prepared food and the functionality of the workspace. This establishment balances the casual nature of a market-inspired café with the technical precision of a focused bistro kitchen. Every element, from the beverage selection to the curated seasonal vegetables, demonstrates a commitment to ingredient-led preparation methods.

Finally made it to Dandy & it definitely lived up to the hype. The first thing I noticed was how fresh everything tasted, especially the bread-it was warm, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, & honestly one of the best parts of the meal. The fried chicken sandwich was juicy & perfectly cooked, & the egg on top was done just right. The halloumi sandwich was also delicious, with fresh ingredients that worked really well together. Even the side salad was crisp & well-seasoned instead of feeling like an afterthought. Great coffee, friendly service, & a cozy atmosphere. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu.

I ordered a chicken burger, which was absolutely delicious. One of the best pieces of fried chicken in a burger I've ever had, for quality & taste. I'm leaving out a fifth star because the meal came with no sides, & the feel of the restaurant was that you were a little bit crowded with the nearby tables.

I came here for brunch, & it was absolutely delicious! I had the fried chicken burger, & wow, the flavors were amazing. The atmosphere is so nice, & the service was great. If you're planning to come for brunch, try to get there early because there might be a bit of a wait in line. But trust me, the wait is totally worth it!

Not only was this the best breakfast I've had on this trip, but it was the best meal overall. Delicious food, friendly & kind waiters, & the atmosphere was lively & fun but not overwhelming. We got the ricotta pancakes, fried chicken sandwich, & side of smashed potato fingerlings. Every single item was superb! I'm going to be dreaming about those pancakes for weeks. The chicken was soooo tender. Everything was seasoned perfectly. Highly highly recommend. My only regret is not finding this place sooner during our trip so we could come here more than once!

Dandy's was a wonderful Sunday brunch experience all around! We arrived at the peak time & waited for a short time, but the staff kept busy & the tables turned. The dining area table arrangement was so unique, offering neighborly banter or privacy. We enjoyed brief exchanges with both our neighbors on either sides, which certainly enhanced our positive experience of the restaurant & the city!
The food selection was limited but inclusive of brunch favorites with Dandy's special prep! I ordered the fried chicken sandwich & loved it. I only wished I could have also ordered the pancakes. Two cocktails are included in our final bill, plus gratuity. I thought it was reasonably priced.
The service was attentive, courteous & friendly. I couldn't ask for more.

3 of us sat outside for brunch on a hot day in June. We enjoyed our food. Two of us had the fried chicken (& enjoyed); one added an egg. I ordered ala carte - toast, egg & a side of avocado.

For beverages, we had a passion fruit lemonade (very tasty), iced matcha late & iced tea.

Service was good, if a little slow. The outdoor seating area was small, but comfortable. It was obviously a little loud because of street noise, but having a normal conversation was not a problem.

What an amazing brunch spot! 5/5 & not even exaggerating. Yes you have to wait in line since it's super popular. Be there early, they open at 10 & there's already a line. We ordered the fried chicken sandwich, fingerlings potatoes & the ricotta pancakes. Everything is so delicious & made to perfection! The waiter was friendly & sweet. The maple lattes were pretty yummy too. It's definitely one of my favorite brunch spots. Will come back to try other items.

I really loved eating at dandy! My family wants to go again asap. The food was delicious & had giant portions-we didn't finish it all. The fingerling potatoes with aioli were incredibly crispy, salty, & tangy in all the right ways. The pancakes were simple, but done well. They were so thick & soft & the thick caramel syrup with the bitter ricotta cream was delicious. The fried chicken sandwhich was huge & juicy. It could use some hot sauce! Finally, the italiano was classic & delicious. Drinks were good too! There was a long line out the door, though, so don't show up starving.
