Tendenza Reviews

What an excellent event site!!!!! Wedding ceremony, cocktail hour with hot and cold appetizers, spacious dining area, spacious dance area, clean restrooms, appropriately decorated. Courteous, helpful wait staff and management. Delicious, cooked to order meals. This place will remain in my mind as one of the most memorable.

Tendenza is a really nice and fun party venue. We were here for a friend's engagement party. Food was good, bartenders and servers were great and the venue is beautiful.

I attended a private function here last Saturday. Appetizers included Lump crab meat, shrimp, seared tuna and a plethora of many other tasty delectable. Top shelf liquor with an exemplary wait staff to make any concoction you could want. Spacious and well lit with plenty of open seating, clean bathrooms and valet parking. The main courses was an open buffet that included soft shell crab sandwiches, and exquisite roast as well as leg of lamb. You literally cannot miss with this place.

Wow! My son and his wife had their wedding reception at Tendenza in April 2018. The facility is beautiful. the food was incredible and the staff was excellent. It was a beautiful event. They do offer valet parking but you have to want to be in the city to have an event at Tendenza (traffic, etc). I highly recommend Tendenza to those considering a Philadelphia event.

I have to admit I'd never heard of this place, but we were invited for a wedding and we were both very impressed. We've both been to a lot of weddings, but the food here was in the top 3 and it was excellent from beginning to end. The look is rather modern, but not severely so, more sleek and pretty. What we were esp. impressed with, however, was the excellence of almost all the food (only exception: sushi, but that's a pretty specific niche, so I'm overlooking that, esp. since it was a very small part of the overall food range). There was a wide variety of food there from meats of all kinds, to seafood, to vegetarian, even some vegan options and, excepting the sushi, it was terrific. They had fresh oysters, large shrimp, lamb chops, beef wellington, various delicious savory items in pastry, salads of many kinds, a variety of dips, breads, all before we got to the main course dishes. There one of us chose filet mignon and the other chose sea bass with salmon, both of which were very good, but other unchosen options also looked delicious. Desserts were excellent and it was very hard to resist the behavior of returning multiple times to the various dessert tables because there were so many sweet, gooey, and/or chocolatey options. I esp. loved the slices of lava cake. Because of how the place was set up w/ multiple stations both for the desserts and the earlier appetizers, there was no sense whatsoever of being cramped, of having to wait a long time to get food or drinks. The bar served topshelf liquors and the drinks were good (could've been a little stronger, perhaps) w/ the appetizer/bar area inviting and visually interesting. Both in this 1st area and in the wedding/dinner area it was not too noisy to talk and be heard, which is a plus. We both liked how the appetizer stations featured an impressive range of options, some horizontal, some vertical, some with people behind the tables to assist you, others self-serve. Friendly, cheerful waiters also circulated with a bevy of mouth-watering offerings. We both thought the service was likewise great. What a great place to have a party of any kind!

I have always wanted to experience this venue after hearing so much about it and finally had the chance to do so at our niece and her new husband's wedding reception. The cocktail hour and a half was pretty cool with sushi, lump crab meat, jumbo shrimp, a ravioli station with 4 different types of ravioli and about 20 different toppings, cheeses and meats platters, salads and 3 different selections for the dinner entrees such as Chilean Sea Bass, Filet Mignon and Rack of Lamb. Each was excellent and I must say the lighting was pretty cool, too, not to mention that I never had Rasberry Champagne before.

Lovely wedding venue. All was great expect that it was freezing cold. Everyone, especially women in gowns remarked at how uncomfortable it was. Besides that it was great. I would imagine in better weather it would be stellar.

I am 68--been to a few weddings. This one was PERFECT. The setting for the ceremony wwas lovely and intimate. Seamlessly we went back downstairs for an incredible cocktail hour. (The sushi station was my favorite), than back upstairs for a delicious dinner...and a desert table that was varied...and one could actually eat healthy if one wished. I realize the band was a personal choice, but I assume the great accoustics is the venue itself. It was great to dance the night away.

What an absolutely awesome wedding venue. The staff is friendly. Cocktail hour food awesome. Wedding food awesome

We were at this place for a wedding and what a beautiful place it was! very modern, Very industrial! The food was AMAZING!!! The cocktail hour was the best part, however the amount of people made it extremely hard to move around and mingle. If I had one complaint about the place is they should limit the amount of people. For the ceremony some people had to sit on two chairs as the chairs were very small and way too close together, same with dinner. It was just very uncomfortable. Besides that I have no complaints. As I said beautiful place, amazing food just a suggestion do not have more than say 150 people for it to be comfortable!

Attended a wedding at Tendenza on a Friday night. The staff was professional and courteous, notably Robert Buckley who made sure everything was running smoothly. The food...from appetizers to dessert...was delicious. A place to consider for any special event.

From the moment we walked in till the time we left, 6 hours later, everything was outstanding. The rooms are beautifully lit with indirect lighting in shades of blue and purple. There was a huge variety of delicious food that was laid out and brought around by servers. The staff is absolutely professional. There was never an empty plate or glass on a table for more than a few seconds. The bar never had a line. The entire staff was friendly without being intrusive. I could go on and on. Perfection!!!!

All I can say is...FLAWLESS! From the moment we arrived to the last dance at 12:30AM it was more than perfect. Robert was the matreD'. He was not only professional, attentive and organized ., but he pulled out all the stops to make sure that the parents of the Bride and Groom were so well taken care of. The staff, from the bartenders to the wait staff went above and beyond to make sure that every detail was perfect! I can not say enough about Robert..he obviously loves his job and it shows in the way we were cared for, did not have to lift a finer and totally satisfied. The food from the guest suite to the main course was extraordinary. I have been to many venues over the years, and The Tendenza by far was the classiest and best by fa! If you are looking for an event spce...look no further and ask for Robert! Thank you fora n unforgettable day we will always remember. Cynthia Camp

We recently had our wedding reception at Tendenza. Words can't describe how perfect the night was. From the second we arrived our wedding coordinator/Host Ed did an excellent job. From helping us make our way greeting the guests to keeping the drinks flowing. We could not have asked for more. The atmosphere was out of this world. The place looked spectacular and the food.... The food was unbelievable. We are still hearing the guests talk about the food and experience over a month past the event. Almost every guest invited said this was the best wedding they had ever attended. Our expectations were very high for this event but we were still blown away with how memorable the night turned out. Thanks again

I attended a wedding ceremony here and was more than impressed. The food was bountiful and delicious; cocktails with a wide variety of appetizers were provided while the main room was being turned over from the wedding ceremony, my only complaint would be that is was a bit crowded. We then went back to the main room, which was beautifully decorated. We had our choice of entrees, which did not disappoint. The staff was friendly and efficient. What a memorable night.

My wife & I attended a wedding. It was a beautiful ceremony right on the premises. When it ended we had the cocktail hour right there followed by the reception. The food was delicious with a wide variety to choose from,I had the salmon which was perfect.The wait staff was terrific, attended to your every need. The valet parking was great, just pull up to the front of the building and the parkers were right there. The parking lot was right next to the facility. A very positive experience. Thank you.

The food here is very good. The staff is even better. It is a great place for an event if you like industrial chic.

Was here for a work event and was super impressed with the attention to detail from the decor in the bar area to the backstage room for guests of honor. I was actually the keynote speaker at our event and since I was busy preparing remarks backstage, the waitstaff made sure to make me a plate of the amazing appetizers that the guests were enjoying out front. I did have the opportunity to walk through the front bar area on my way to the back room and saw the incredible towers of seafood, sushi, and other crudites. The bar selection seemed to be quite ample as well. The main room is elegantly decorated as well and I understand they offer a myriad of options to suit your tastes. Our room was decorated in the color of our company and the lighting and sound worked without any glitches. While a plate of food for dinner was reserved for me, given that I was speaking, I did not really eat but I did notice everyone enjoying their dinners of either beef, chicken, or red snapper. The room was large enough to accomodate our large group and the dance floor started filling up after the professional necessities were completed. The service was courteous and efficient and I'm sad to say I didn't eat one of the magnificent desserts. Again, everything was top notch.

Went here for a wedding the other night. First, they serve appetizers in the front bar area. I've never had such great starters at a wedding. In fact, I've never had such great starters at any event of any kind. the quality was top notch and the variety was amazing. The bar was well stocked and the bartenders were great. Once the reception began we moved to the back room. The venue is very nice. You rarely see a wedding venue with a stage for the band, but they have one here. The dinner food was great. There was another large bar inside the ballroom. It was well stocked and the service was great. Service overall was great. You'd be hard pressed to find a better place for a wedding reception.

Went to a wedding that was held at Tendenza - the restaurant was closed to the public. The food was excellent. There was an extensive variety of hors d' oeuvres. I had the Chilean Sea Bass for my dinner and it was superb. The ceremony was held upstairs, the cocktail hour in the bar/lounge area and the dinner back upstairs. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The rest rooms clean. This was the perfect place to have a wedding!

My son got married here at Tendenza by Cescaphe I’ve been to many weddings and this one was by far the best reception I have ever been to. The cocktail hour was amazing with fabulous drinks and awesome food that just wouldn’t stop the entire hour. The reception was amazing from the linens to the play Settings, Everything was set up to perfection. Every employee there from the servers to the bartenders to the personal assistance, we’re extremely nice made you feel like family and are exceptional at what they do. The employees probably don’t get enough praise but everybody I met was amazing. My wife and I had a personal assistant her name was Kiersten, and there was not a moment that our drinks where empty, were that dinner was served without her, letting us know and taking wonderful care of us. We thank you very much!
