    The engagement party I attended last night at Tendenza was fly-er than 90% of weddings. Complimentary valet, open bar that included anything your poor little liver can filter, and food you actually want to eat, all in a killer sparkly Sex and the City-style setting. We started off in the downstairs bar after checking our coats (complimentary). Tightly-strung wires suspended tiered glass tables decked with pink champagne and petite martini glasses, ready to be picked up anytime. Servers circulated with tasty bites: fontina cheese and prosciutto in phyllo dough, cute little lamb chops on the bone. Bartenders worked fast; you never had to wait for a drink. After an hour of cocktail-houring, servers alerted the party we were adjourning upstairs to the main room. This is where the WOW factor really kicked in. A huge room with exposed beams and brick walls is decked in white leather banquettes, mosiac-tiled columns, another huge backlit bar and a spacious dance floor with a raised stage for the DJ. Three screens added a music-video quality. Two different buffets offered a huge array of legitimately delicious (not just wedding-standard) food, including freshly-made sushi, tiny hamburgers, addictive mini roast pork sandwiches complete with broccoli rabe, three different pastas bubbling over burners, etc. It was awesome. All told, this place is baller status. You can absolutely tell it's the same ownership at Cescaphe Ballroom, right down the street. From a guest's perspective, five stars.

    I am the Father of the Bride who just had a wedding reception at Tendenza on 9/7/13. If I could give this place 10 stars I would. Everything I mean Everything from beginning to end was perfect. Our event coordinator Betsy and Our Matre'd Ed were outstanding. The attention to detail was outstanding and the food, tons of it was delicious and beautifully presented. Every detail from the lighting to the table setting was carefully thought out and executed to perfection. The events from the first dance through the speeches to the cutting of the cake were skillfully coordinated by Ed. My Sea Bass dinner was the best I ever had. The bartenders made excellent drinks from a well stocked premium bar. At the end of the evening the attention to detail and service continued with carefully packing the gifts and flowers. I also have to add that the cake was not only beautiful (made to duplicate the floral design on my daughter's dress) but it was the best wedding cake I have ever tasted. A number of our guests commented on it. Thanks so much for a great evening that we will never forget.

    Easily was the nicest wedding venue I've ever been at. Staff was extremely professional and helpful. The room for bridal party was cramped and didn't have enough seats for the girls to all sit. Some small details in the private rest rooms were missed. Something as simple as a hook on the wall would've made life easier. Wearing three piece tux with suspenders and using the restroom was difficult with no place to hang anything. Food during cocktail hour was simply amazing, fantastic, awesome pick one or all three to describe it. Only reason for not 5 stars was the main course. Everyone at my table with the exception of one person ordered the filet mignon. When taking our order server asked how we wanted it cooked. When served all were medium rare to rare. I realize that a cut such as this should be more on the rare side. That being said it's about giving the person what they want. The actual size was huge not the tiny ones you would normally expect at a wedding. They filet was smothered with black pepper way too much, and I like pepper. Everyone had to scrape it off in order to eat their steak. I hope nothing I wrote will dissuade you from giving this venue a chance. YELP is about pointing out the positive and negative attributes of an experience.

    Mini funnel cake with Nutella, chocolate ice cream, chocolate sprinkles, an oreo, and oreo fluff. Heaven on a plate!

    Everything was top notch here. Attended a wedding reception on a cold March night and the appetizer display was endless, so good, could've made a meal from that and then the amazing desserts alone. I have nothing but good things to say, even the bathroom smelled nice. How often can you say that? Coat check lady was so sweet. Every staff person I encountered was too. I'm glad I experienced this spot and will recommend any friends lookin for a venue to check this place out.

    We attended a wedding here last night in the Nor'easter! When GPS failed us, we walked 5 blocks through the storm. Once inside, the valet guy ( I wish I asked his name (Big Guy)) offered to go back out in the the crazy weather to retrieve and valet our car. What a God send! He alone deserves five stars! Although late for apps, they were on point and dinner did not disappoint. Our bartender, Michael, was efficient and friendly. All in all a great night was had. Beautiful wedding, exceptional venue and a top notch experience!

    Came here for a holiday party and we had a killer time. Beautiful place easy to get into, decent valet staff, great bar staff just great staff all around. Nice sound system and layout. Would consider booking this place for a party or event in the future.

    Every visit to Reading Terminal Market reminds me why it's one of my favorite places to eat and…read moreexplore. This definitely wasn't my first time and it won't be my last. The food options are unmatched. No matter what you're craving, comfort food, international flavors, baked goods, or fresh produce, there's always something that hits the spot. Everything is consistently fresh, flavorful, and made with care, and it's easy to try something new each time while still going back to old favorites. The service across the vendors is always solid. Even when the market is busy, staff members are efficient, friendly, and clearly know what they're doing. You can tell many of them take pride in their craft, whether they're cooking, baking, or serving customers. The ambiance is what really sets Reading Terminal Market apart. It's lively, energetic, and full of character. The mix of locals, tourists, and longtime vendors gives the space a special kind of authenticity that you just don't get anywhere else. Yes, it can be crowded but that's part of the charm and a sign of how beloved the market is. Reading Terminal Market has been operating since 1893, making it one of the oldest continuously operating public markets in the U.S. and you can truly feel that history in every corner. Reading Terminal Market continues to deliver a great experience every time: amazing food, dependable service, and an atmosphere that feels uniquely Philadelphia. A must-visit and a must-return spot.

    Date of visit: October 18, 2025…read more Selections: Numerous to the point of being overwhelmed Experience: We visited this place right before we left for the airport and I regret leaving this for last because we bought so many treats that we had to reconfigured into our suitcases. This places literally had rows and rows of eateries and places to get treats, snacks, and goodies. It was pretty crowded when we went and I'm not sure if it was because it's been hyped up as a place to visit or because of the No Kings Parade that had just ended around the time that we got there. We went down each and every aisle and I had to resist the temptation to have a second lunch because of all the variety of foods offered, including Filipino food that my husband actually ended up getting food from. We mostly leaned into getting sweets from various booths to enjoy on the way to the airport/at the airport as well as ones to take home to enjoy. I wish I could've brought cheese home, but for sure it wouldn't have lasted or held well. There was a discount with parking at the Hilton if we made a purchase, but couldn't figure that out, so ended up paying full price when exiting the parking structure. Would definitely come back again to actually eat there!

One of the hallmarks of the event is that we break the attendees up in smaller groups for meetings around town. I am so glad I discovered Tomato Catering. First, the food is fresh and delicious. It has that made from scratch with love and care feel. Over the years I have ordered the Nonna's Chicken, the Fajita Bar, Chicken Marsala, the Mediterranean bar, and a bunch of their salads. Our attendees love it. As the event coordinator, the next most important thing aside from taste and quality is meeting dietary needs of our guests. The Tomato Catering team is excellent here. All of their signage is clear and their dressings are vegan and again good. Super helpful. When you speak to their team whether it's Camille at their HQ or Jan at the West Chester location who made the food, they are extremely professional, on it, and and will make sure things are clarified so you never feel worried. We were able to coordinate delivery to each of our locations and their team setup the meals beautifully. Whether you are planning a personal event or a corporate meal like I was, I would absolutely recommend Tomato Catering without any reservations. They will be my first call again next year when we host our event back in West Chester.
