Unfortunately our table was called up to the buffet line and they were out of six items on the line. I had to wait for 10 minutes before they brought out the food for the six items that were missing no beef no rolls no bacon no salad no fried onions no mushrooms, it was make your own cheesesteak when I asked the woman that called our table. She blamed it on the kitchen. I feel sorry for the chef because the food was exceptional and on point they just did not communicate with the kitchen that they were out of food. The desserts looked lovely, but they ran out before I could get any, it's unfortunate to have point on excellent food and a great chef but the buffet line didn't have the food it was in the kitchen .

I attended a wedding reception at the Chase Center this past weekend and it was fabulous. The venue…read moreis enormous; there were two weddings taking place at the same time and we never crossed paths. There is a huge parking lot and the Center conveniently connects to the Westin Hotel, which was a no-brainer for guests who over indulged at the festivities. There was a separate ballroom for cocktail hour and the actual reception, and it was more than enough space for 180 guests. The main ballroom is beautiful with a large dance floor, bar, and plenty of room for round tables, a DJ stand, dessert bar, etc. The staff had service down to a science. Hors d'oeuvres during cocktail hour were continuously replenished, dinner entrees were served one entire table at a time so that no one guest would be left without food, and I never had to wait more than a few minutes at the bar for a drink despite the constant line of guests. What really surprised me about the Chase Center was their catering. You don't hear this often, but the food was AMAZING. The cocktail hour had passed dishes such as bacon wrapped scallops, crab cakes, and pork belly, all of which were extremely popular. The bride and groom also selected the Pan Asian station, which should be at every wedding. It featured chicken skewers, dumplings, tempura shrimp, various sushi rolls, and dipping sauces. I couldn't help myself, it was all so good that I hardly saved room for dinner. My entree was steak "medallions" which were really more like two entire 3 or 4 ounce fillets. They were perfectly cooked delicious. There were also vegetables and mashed potatoes in gravy, and despite being way too full from earlier everyone around me cleared their plates. My only complaints are minor. Those who paid for the wedding were disappointed that they could not box all the leftover food. We understood it's not a restaurant, but if food is completely paid for and prepared and served in-house it shouldn't go in the trash. Also, the staff promptly locked off the bridal suite adjacent to the ballroom after the event ended, leaving bouquets, clothing, and other items belonging to the bridal party stuck inside until the following Monday.

There were plenty of chances to take a picture with Rocky Bluewinkle and the Chick-fil-A cow, which happened to be there that night. I was just disappointed I didn't get to meet Mr. Celery. Too busy with his on-field antics, I guess. In-game host and entertainment were also fun. Adult drinks are quite cheap compared to a MLB ballpark, as are the tickets. Because it's a small stadium, there is not a bad seat in the house! Frawley has your standard ballpark food. Chickie's and Pete's gets pretty busy, so get there early or off peak during the game. 20 minute walk from the Amtrak station on a beautiful trail along the river. It's so easy to visit from out of town.

The seats at the Santander were horrible. Of course because it's a concert, everybody was dancing and having a great time, but the seats were wobbling and moving more than we were. I felt like I was going to end up in the floor! The sound system wasn't the best either. Most times, the music was completely overpowering the artist. For these two reasons, I doubt I'll be back.

I think my first concert was here but we got so high on the way down I only remember two songs from the opener and none of the trip. This most recent visit was Friday. They wouldn't let my wife bring in her purse. However they let someone bring in a larger one right before her. So she drew attention to this. They didn't care. She had to go buy a $10 clear bag. This really wouldn't have been an issue if it wasn't so inconsistent. Also like I know you can charge whatever you want for food and drink cuz it's your venue and all but should you?! Anyway lawn tickets aren't really worth it. It's like hey you sit outside and watch other people attend a concert.

I visited Xfinity Arena for a Don Toliver concert, and for my first time at the venue, I had a…read morereally good experience overall! Getting around inside the arena was pretty straightforward. I took an Uber from my hotel, so unfortunately I don't have my usual parking report this time. There were several food options throughout the arena. As expected with most arenas and stadiums, prices were definitely on the higher side. I grabbed a slice of pizza and also ordered one of the specialty cocktails that went along with the concert theme--a Courvoisier lemonade. You could choose between a single for $18.99 or a double for $27.99. I went with the single, and let me just say... I probably should've grabbed a little more food with it because that drink was STRONG. Now, let's talk about my seat because I know this is something I always want to know when visiting a venue for the first time! I was in Section 107, Row 18, Seat 1, and my view was quite literally perfect. You can see the pictures for reference, but I was extremely happy with where I sat. Being in Seat 1 meant I was right next to the foot traffic entering and exiting the section, but honestly, that didn't bother me at all. I'll take an aisle seat any day because I love not having to climb over people whenever I need to get up! Even though I had a great seat fairly close to the action, the layout also gave me the impression that there are plenty of other sections where you'd still have a good view of the event. Obviously every seat will be a little different, but the arena felt like it offered pretty solid sightlines overall. My only real critique came after the concert. The Uber/taxi pickup situation could definitely use a little more organization. When we exited, there was essentially a huge crowd of people trying to figure out where to go, and taxis and rideshares weren't able to pull directly up to the arena. I ended up having to walk farther down the block for pickup. Was it the end of the world? Not at all. But after a late concert--especially when you're visiting from out of town and aren't familiar with the area--I would've appreciated a clearly designated and organized rideshare/taxi pickup area closer to the venue. Aside from that, I really enjoyed my first experience here. I'd absolutely return for another event, and since this is also where the 76ers play, I'd love to come back for a game and experience the arena in a completely different setting!

Room for improvement…read more Let's start with the bad. 1) Even with prepaid parking it is a shitshow. They didn't have parking availability at the event so I opted to park across the street in the Citizens Bank Parking Lot. The individuals who are directing traffic and letting you in do not do a great job. They were waving me to go around when that was not correct at all, luckily I pulled a U turn and had my car half way in the lot when he said pull in. He was legit trying to get me lost after I paid for reserve parking in that designated lot. 2)Went to Chickie's and Pete's ordered one basket of tenders with fries, another order of fries, and three cokes. Bill came to $78, when I asked for a breakdown, the cashier gave me a look like I had three heads and said they don't do that and handed my a receipt just with the total charge on it. The Venue itself presents well, and we had seats in section 113 center which made my first WWE event a very pleasurable experience. Now should I mention that three tickets at this level total almost $1,000? A very expensive night out to go to most events at the Xfinity Mobile Area. You do have Xfinity Live! within a few blocks with big screens and good eats, I would probably opt to watch events at Xfinity Live instead but if you're jonesing to see the event in person be sure to save up for the event. As always people SYOY!!!

My friend and I came to Subaru Park for the second time yesterday for a Philadelphia Union game…read more This time we were in Section 132 row DD which is near the top of the corner with the river and bridge behind us. Last time we were on the video board side also in the corner upper rows. Directly opposite of where we sat last night. Both areas had great views of the field and for the most part we were able to watch the game without issues. When people and their kids were constantly getting up to let others through or kids just bored talking loud, playing loud videos, or moving around the stands without parents being parents, then there were problems which were at times difficult to deal with. Another issue which I did not even think to consider is that where we were, and having the river behind us, is that there were numerous flies making things irritating. Parking is in numerous lots throughout the area and all are cashless, so buy your pass before and get the code emailed to you to be scanned by the attendants. Police are plentiful directing traffic before and after the game. Subaru Park holds 20,000. There's plenty of bathrooms, multiple food stands (average food at high prices), and if you don't mind 24/7 cheering, the Sons of Ben section almost next to us will make you wonder how many sore throats there are the day after games. Some sections have signage specifically stating that they are standing allowed sections. The Sons of Ben sections also have signs saying you can expect to stand the whole game. Overall, we had a great time and are 2-0 with Union wins both games we attended. When we come back again, we'll be shooting for the video board side for our seats. No flies, less kids, not as much noise from the Sons of Ben (sorry, everyone) and less windy! Go Union! Ba-ba-baba-ba-ba-ba-ba....Heeeeeeyyy You! For about 20 minutes straight....

The river/bridge is right behind one side with a nice view from behind the opposing team's supporter section. The parking lot can use some work but I'm sure that will come in time.
