    a statue of a man in a suit
    Jeremy J.

    We had a great time when we visited the 1100 social. They have awesome music that was playing outside that made my wife very happy and she dance they had statues in different memorabilia to see which I got to take pictures of and I enjoyed. There was a Phillies game going on right across the street to the place was really live in Poppin and we had a really fun time and they had drinks and appetizers and just a Lotta good fun was had

    3 1/2 stars We stopped in here for dinner before a concert since it is right next to the Wells Fargo Center. The place is located inside Xfinity Live so it's great for dinner drinks before a show. They have a cool bar area and plenty of TVs located throughout the restaurant. Seating is great as you are not squished on top of each other so your table seems semi private. Our waitress was really nice and helpful. Noise level in the restaurant was perfect. Tip- If you have Ticketmaster tickets check for the 1/2 price appetizer coupon which is good here. We used it for two apps. It was great! Appetizers (Small Plates- good for two people) Tempura Rock Shrimp Satay had Creamy spicy sauce and pickled thai chili. These were REALLY good. Smothered Sweet Chili Chicken Quesadilla had Cheddar, napa cabbage, sour cream, sweet chili sauce. I really enjoyed this but the shrimp won me over. Dinner Loaded Nachos Tacos - two Pork carnitas, refried beans, guacamole, pico de gallo, crushed tortilla chips. I really enjoyed these although my sister said they were salty (I didn't notice). Crispy Fish Tacos- Tempura-battered black cod, pickled red cabbage with creamy chipotle sauce. Came with two. These were ok to me but my sister enjoyed them. I wish the food was hotter. It was not room temperature but close. Didn't really bother me much but I like it right off the stove. Food came out quick which was perfect since we had a concert to attend. My sister had two mixed drinks (about $14 a piece) but I only had a soda. Making a reservation was tough as my sister called a few times and I'm not even sure she ever made it or if we came during a slow moment. The manager gave us her card to make reservations easier. I prefer Opentable. Hopefully they are listed on there soon. I would definitely be back.

    Tamarind Short ribs with apple cilantro and pickled onion- very good

    So Xfinity live is a weird place. You have girls dancing on a bar in assless chaps around a mechanical bull, you have vip bottle service booths, arcade games, some sort of live music situation, giant beer pong, and now (or soon- Grand Opening October 2nd)- a place to get quality Asian-Mexican small plates at a reasonable price and a drink that isn't an overpriced beer can. DRINKS: Tequila Old Fashioned is really good but not at all like an old fashioned. Chris the bartender was cool to chat with. $15 is a lot for a drink, but it was a really good drink and I've paid for $13 beers and concerts and been much less satisfied. The soju bourbon cocktail (blanking on the name) would be a good after dinner drink, a bit too boozy to start with. There were a few wines and beers listed too. There are also party buckets so that could be fun- could be good way to start off a birthday or Bachelorette followed by a concert, game, or bull riding contest. FOOD: We had 4 small plates between 2 people which was a good amount of food for just under $50 pre-tip. We really liked everything, and there were a few more we wanted to try. Tamarind ribs- You must get these. 3 juicy ribs in a sweet sauce, on a bed of pickled red onion, cilantro, radish and apple, topped with peanuts for a crunch. Favorite bite of the night. Corn- You must also get these. Charred, spicy mayo and cheese topped. A bit on the spicy side so be careful. Worth the mess. But maybe not if you're on a date. No one looks cute chowing down on corn and you'd need to byofloss after or you'd look like a carnie. Guac with pork belly, truffle, and kimchi- hefty sized portion, crispy chips, delicious. You should probably get this too. Not too spicy. Shrimp skewers- these were not our pick (we asked our awesome waiter Andre to surprise us) you get a few mini fried shrimp on a skewer (you get 2) topped with that same delicious spicy mayo as the corn and some red chilies. Also very good. SERVICE: This was soft opening so the waiters are still very new and getting used to everything...so we were the ones waiting. Some of the waiters and hostesses look straight out of high school and I hope they can handle the game day crowds. Can't speak to how the service will be because this wasn't a typical night, but everyone was very friendly. VIBE: Like I said Xfinity is a weird place. This place definitely classes up the complex, but the crowd it draws will be interesting (are the bros and woo girls going to embrace the small plates and fancy cocktails or go back to their Miller lites, fireball, and wings?). There's a bar inside and a bar that faces the outside of the restaurant (so you can see what's going on in the middle of Xfinity or avoid it). The music is odd for the place (because it's the music for Xfinity, not just the restaurant) and it can get a bit loud. There's a mix of high top and regular tables. Definitely check it out if you're in the area for a game and want to have a quality meal and drink before overpriced concessions.

    The mixture of Asian and Spanish food along with the hip venue vibes makes 1100 Social the coolest restaurant in Xfinity and one of the cooler restaurants in Philadelphia. Before planning a dinner here make sure to check our the events calendar on Xfinity's website. If there is an event at one of the nearby stadiums, you'll have to pay $10+ in parking. So if you're just coming for dinner I would avoid any nights with sporting events or concerts going on. Two of the best things here are the Mariachi Dragon Club Guacamole and the Bahn Cam. Both dishes are appetizers and worth the splurge. 1100 Social has a bar and an inside seating area with tables and booths in addition to an outside patio with fire pits. I'd suggested requesting a booth, they're super comfortable. The venue is clean and the staff is knowledgeable. 1100 Social is worlds apart from it's neighboring bars and worth a visit.

    "CUISINE INSPIRED BY A BLEND OF MEXICAN & ASIAN FLAVORS" Ok, you have my attention. I was fully impressed by 1100 when I came here on Saturday before a concert at Wells Fargo. I came with three people and we had a drink, app, and dinner all within a half hour. Service was sharp and fast. I was only feeling something pretty small and the portions here were perfect. We ordered chips and guacamole to start and it was truly some of the best guac I have ever had! Immediately after finishing our appetizer our entrees came out. I ordered the shredded chicken tacos and the other two people i was with ordered the cheesesteak empanadas. The tacos were pretty good. A little dry, but tasty! I sadly didn't get to try any of the asian cuisine options, but definitely want to check out the general tso's rice balls on my next visit. Our server was great and personable. 1100 Social did an excellent job of getting you in and out and making sure you leave happy with your meal / service.

    Asian Mexican cuisine
    Shaelene L.

    Stopped here on a Thursday before a concert and there weren't any sports events going on so we could walk right up which was nice. I think I give this 4/5 stars in comparison to other places in xfinity live vs going out of my way to go here. The theme is Asian Mexican (odd but hipster) the menu is pretty clean cut and has a nice variety of choice without being overwhelming. Plenty of space and a clean but casual place to go. I ordered loaded nacho tacos and honestly they were perfect. I would compare to a street taco but with everything one would want on it. The corn tortilla was legit and I ate them both up pretty Quick. The boy had chicken dumplings and unfortunately they were under whelming to say the least. Not gross but not good. Dumplings themselves were bland and the peanut Thai sauce tasted...not like that lol. Closer to canned tomato sauce. I would go back, would not wait or go out of my way but overall with food in xfinity live I haven't been too impressed so this is the best best. Also feels a little more classy for the gals who want a glass of red vs the pub vibes.

Second, everyone knows about Roxanne's insanely delicious and creative prix fix menus, but did you know they now have a la carte lunch (and dinner) menus? I recently scored a lunch reservation and ordered a classic combo of burger and fries, with strawberry shortcake for dessert. Roxanne can make the tasty inventive dishes, but can they make hometown faves like this? Yes. Yes they can. The juicy well-seasoned burger, pillow soft homemade sesame bun, secret sauce, and onion would have been enough, but the unmelted, room temp red rock cheese gave the burger a kick in the pants that make this a contender for best burger in Philly. The curly fries would put Arby's to shame. They are thicker, crispier, longer, and softer inside. Lastly, it may seem odd to order dessert after lunch. But, if you are at Roxanne, you could be charged with a crime if you leave without it. I went with the American classic of strawberry shortcake since it's practically a requirement on 4th of July and this is our 250th birthday as well! I think the photo explains itself. Obscenely delicious and, yes, I ate it all. Slowly. So, put Roxanne on the top of your list for a Philly lunch stop, and order the dessert too! You won't regret it.

The food that I had at this restaurant and the entire dining experience has got to be the best I've ever had in Philly. It's funny how many times I passed this place and never even noticed. It's semi in the cut, especially if you're only ever driving past, like I usually am. This restaurant is farm to table dining, which I absolutely love. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I prefer & appreciate fresh food. The menu runs on seasonal basis (which is the best way to eat) and they source from local farms both in the Philadelphia and New Jersey area! I simply could not decide what I wanted to eat since the appetizers, entrees and sides all looked so yummy. During this dine in I didn't get any appetizers (which is ironic actually) but I ordered the branzino that came with fried cauliflower and white bean purée, the slow braised spiced lamb bolognese, and the cornbread. The lamb bolognese was absolutely delicious. This was one of the things where the photo of the food matches EXACTLY how delicious you think it would be. I am not someone who generally opts for pasta at a restaurant (cuz ehhh boring) but it was delicious and the pasta is made fresh daily (my partner ordered this dish) and I will need to make my way to have it all for myself (soon)! The branzino. Fish is a scary one for me to order because I have been let down to many times. I make a post semi recently about the awful branzino I had at "Cry baby pasta" so I was nervous to see how well this played out (if at all). The dish was great! There's this caper salad that tasted just like chimichurri that paired amazingly well with the fish, there were slices of both orange and grapefruit on the dish, and the white beans and cauliflower together were great! Everything on the dish was extremely flavorful, fresh and paired well together. I ordered a gimlet or as it's called on the menu "Sicilian" which is a gin based drink that I had just heard of for the first time a few days prior and I was doing some research and saw that the drink should pair well with the dish. I was doing my own food and drink pairing if you will! When I went to order the server even said it would pair well together, she really knew her stuff! The cornbread was okay- I am a huge fan of cornbread and this one just wasn't my fav. It also was semi rough around the edges. It wasn't bad at all, I've just had much much better tender & softer cornbreads which are my preference. In terms of costing, which I generally don't speak much about in my reviews- for a farm to table dining experience I thought the cost was good! Usually, farm to table prices are quite expensive and experiences you wanna put aside for a "special occasion". I'm really glad I stumbled upon a farm to table restaurant, with a seasonal menu that was affordable- making me feel that I can indulge more frequently than compared to others. I really look forward to trying other items on the menu as everything really was up to my speed. The dessert menu also featured seasonal items but, I decided to close my eyes and be a good girl when it came to desert this day and didn't really pay attention, but I would love to indulge my next time around. Our server was also great! It's a bummer that I didn't catch her name. The hospitality was amazing! From both our server, the manager and all others we spoke to during our visit. My partner recently read "Unreasonable Hospitality" and now every dining experience is met with our internal agenda and standards now due to this book of how things should be and the way we wanna "feel" while dining. I mean, cmon, how many times have you been out to eat, paid your hard earned money and felt awful afterwards due to how you've been treated? (Or ignored). Solid spot! I would recommend~

The boys shared a cheese pizza, half pepperoni, and really enjoyed it. My husband ordered the burger, and yes, I stole a bite--and yes, to no one's surprise, it was amazing. We also ordered the charred broccoli after seeing everyone rave about it online. They were NOT wrong. Creamy, smoky, charred perfection. And finally... drumroll please... the 10 oz. smoked Duroc pork chop! OH. EM. GEEE. Perfectly charred on the outside and incredibly juicy inside, sitting in the most delicious smoky morita-apricot glaze and topped with a bright cucumber-melon salad with mint and blue basil. The contrast was perfection! The rich, smoky pork, the sweet and slightly spicy glaze, and that cool, fresh salad on top. Every bite had the perfect combination of flavors and textures. Easily one of the best pork chops I've ever had. As wonderful as the food was, the service somehow made the experience even better. From the minute we arrived, we were treated like family coming home for the holidays. Warm, welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind. What an absolute joy of a restaurant. Darling Jack's, I WILL be back!

    Great taste Well organized guys…read moreThis was really good. I got the fried chicken and my wife got the salmon. Recommended by us

    I remember when this space was Serafina, which felt familiar from my years in New York, where I…read moreused to go fairly often, sometimes after visits to the Met. Serafina was good. The Love is better. The space is beautiful, the service is consistently warm, and Stephen Starr's fingerprints are all over it. I love the painted white brick, the floral artwork along the walls, the street-level energy, and the outdoor seating. I also remember taking the elevator upstairs once. I can't remember whether we actually stayed and ate up there or asked to move back downstairs, but the space was charming and extremely private. It would be a great setting for a group dinner or event. Personally, I prefer downstairs. It's darker, livelier, and I like being at street level. The menu historically leaned more heavily into elevated Southern comfort food, which has never been my favorite style of cooking. That's probably why I've tended to prefer The Love for lunch over dinner, especially when Philadelphia has so many Starr restaurants competing for the same night out. I used to get what I remember as a salmon and farro bowl, although the menu appears to have evolved since then. Whatever the exact iteration was, I loved it. Fish and farro are both right in my wheelhouse. I've also enjoyed the kale salad and other lighter dishes. The thing I remember most vividly, though, is the cornbread. It is outrageously good and reason enough to order something for the table. I also give Starr credit for continuing to broaden the range of food styles in his portfolio. Once you've built restaurants across Italian, French, Mexican, English, steakhouses, seafood, and the rest, there are only so many obvious boxes left to check. The Love feels like its own lane: distinctly American, approachable, comfort-driven, and still polished enough to feel like a Starr restaurant. Looking at the menu now, it seems broader than I remember, with more options that appeal to me, and I'd be psyched to go back. The Love probably isn't the first Starr restaurant I'd choose purely based on cuisine, but that says more about the depth of his Philadelphia portfolio than it does about this restaurant. The room, hospitality, location, and execution are all excellent. I'd happily come here any day. Starr doesn't miss.
