After attending a meeting at The Logan, my colleagues and I had a holiday lunch scheduled at Urban Farmer. We were initially seated near the bar for cocktail hour where we enjoyed sliders (delicious), a cheese plate, crab cakes, and hush puppies. I don't typically like hush puppies but Urban Farmer's were exceptional. If that wasn't enough food, we moved to the pantry area for the actual lunch. I ordered the steak and fries with the apple garnished salad starter. One of the best steaks I've ever had and perfectly cooked to medium.

I ordered the steak and fries with the apple garnished salad starter. One of the best steaks I've ever had and perfectly cooked to medium. I had to ask them to pack dessert as I was too stuffed to eat anything else. I did bring dessert home for my family to enjoy and my son said the oatmeal cookies and chocolate cupcakes were "really good." Service was a little slow but very friendly. Overall it was a solid visit. I can't wait to return for dinner with my husband.

When I started out yesterday, I had no idea I would be enjoying an excellent lunch with my friend at Chops in the Comcast Center. In fact, we were looking for another place to try but good fortune intervened in our getting lost.

We walked into Chops trying to find our way and were met by one of the best front-of-house professionals I have ever encountered. Im kicking myself I did not get his name but I shall not forget him.

We walked into Chops trying to find our way and were met by one of the best front-of-house professionals I have ever encountered. Im kicking myself I did not get his name but I shall not forget him.

A true pro, he was warm, engaging and a tremendous asset to this establishment. No surprise he worked at venerable Philly establishments I would frequent in the past like The Stripped Bass and The Corned Beef Academy. The hostess on duty was equally impressive in the way she carried herself. First impression? Outstanding.

The restaurant is modern with a very cool vibe. Elegant. Stylish. White table cloths. We were not dressed for such a nice setting but made to feel welcome.

They start you with complimentary pretzel bread with cheese inside. It was tasty. Also on the table were crunchy, delicious pickles.

The waiter was a consummate pro. He and his team did an outstanding job in serving us.

For lunch, my co- worker had the pea soup and gnocchi with beef. I had the Caesar salad, homemade capellini and meatballs. These were specials that day.

The Caesar was delicious.

The macaroni was excellent. The meatball was good but most Italians will tell you the one you grew up with will always be best.

My buddy loved his soup and gnocchi.

I realize to go to a restaurant that specializes in beef and not get it is usually a stupid idea but we both enjoyed our lunch immensely.

Chef Alex Plotkin has built a great restaurant in the Comcast Center, one that begs for a return visit to further sample his menu.

Superior service. Excellent food. Wonderful ambiance. One can't ask for better elements from a dining experience and Chops delivered.

I've been in love with Wegman's since they first opened it's doors in Cherry Hill. As a prior reviewer said, it's like Whole Foods & Costco had a baby & Wegman's is it's name-O!

They offer a wide variety of organic foods at a reasonable price. The vegetables, meats, & seafood are high in quality, PLUS they offer bulk options (baby Wegman got it from it's father, Costco). Not only can you shop for groceries at Wegman's, you can grab a bite from their buffet! They offer a variety of options that will accommodate different palates/diets. The one setback with their buffet is that their…Read more I've been in love with Wegman's since they first opened it's doors in Cherry Hill.

Not only can you shop for groceries at Wegman's, you can grab a bite from their buffet! They offer a variety of options that will accommodate different palates/diets. The one setback with their buffet is that their quality isn't always consistent. Sometimes the food is over cooked & dry, other times the buffet appears to be a bit bare from lack of refills by the staff.

Overall, a great market for all your needs.

My go-to Asian market in Philly. Not only can you get your groceries here at H-Mart, you can grab a bite at their food court, shop for skincare products, sign up for cellular service, you name it!

The quality of their vegetables & seafood are decent. Their meats are not the best quality, judging by the color & smell. I mainly get their vegetables & frozen items. They also offer samples like wholesale stores like BJ's or Costco, which is pretty cool. I frequently visit during the Winter for Hot Pot food. They have everything you need.

Price is reasonable & what they offer is convenient. Parking sucks on the weekend, so you're better off going on the weekdays.
