Teca Newtown Square

I had my daughters baby shower there. 75 people. I chose to have the buffet with two proteins, salad, pasta and vegetables. So five dishes. Three steam tables were empty for almost a half hour and I still had two tables that had not eaten. The managers seemed to disappear for 20 of those minutes. I was told that they had multiple parties and they were backed up. When it came time to pay the bill, there was a 20% service charge for no apparent reason. Yes. Its in the fine print of the contract. I took it to mean for the servers. Nope! I also had to tip the servers because nothing was given to them. So moral to the story, they played the game that if you wait 20 minutes, the guests get full and will not come back for seconds! Oldest trick in the book in the catering biz! And make sure you get the bottom line price, because they will not offer it to you. And I brought desserts at their urging and they wouldnt even let me use their serveware for it! I was told any leftover wine would be given to me. That didnt happen. The food was mediocre at best. Nuggets of salmon that was overcooked. The chicken in the piccata was like hockey puck medallions. The salad was great and the pasta was good too. In my opinion, overpriced, food not good, and not feeding all of my guests in an appropriate amount of time was unacceptable. Go somewhere else, read the fine print and question the various charges. Save yourself the embarrassing moments and probably some cash.
