Chicago Stadium Club at the United Center

A client took to teh Stadium Club before a recent Hawks game and I was blown away by service and the taste of the food.  Six salads to choose from, turkey and prime rib carving stations, shrip and cheese bars and six additional hot dished at another station.  There was food choices for everybody in our party, even the vegatarians.  The service was great, but I did not like the fact that they charged you for every soda refill.  Loved the the variety of the desert bar.  Perfect place to eat if you are going to a game.  The only draw back is I guess  you need to have season tickets on the 200 level to gain access to the club.  It reserved for season ticket holders so I guess its an addes perk for them but its great if  you get invited.  Dont turn down the invite to eat at this place.

I was somewhat to very skeptical about this place before going. However, I had tickets to a 7p Bulls game on a Saturday night and unless I wanted to eat at like 5p somewhere else, then deal with parking, walking, etc. this seemed like a decent spot. My buddy has club seats so he made us the reservations. Seemed a bit odd as we tried to enter the club level that they were really policing it. Some old guy in a decent looking outfit was trying to get in and find his friends, and the usher was having no part of it. I almost told the usher he was with us, but didnt. Anyway, get into the place and it was a bit more fine dining than I had originally imagined. I still did not feel out of place in my Derrick Rose jersey, but had I not been there for the game, I would have been under dressed. What can I say about it. It is an upscale buffet. 4 of us were taken to our seats, offered drinks (they had some fun ones as well as regular drinks), given the menu, explained how the plates work, offered soup app, that they bring to the table, and we were off. The buffet itself was nice. They had a nice assortment of apps and main courses. Some area of note on the apps were shrimp, tuna steak encrusted with something, I do not recall, several different types of salad. (FYI for the vegetarians, there is a nice assortment here for you), My veg mother came back with a large plate. Main courses were nice as well. They had salmon, short ribs, chicken, pasta, etc. They also had plenty of sides, breads, and desserts. It was a good show. I really appreciated all the TV's that showed the game as it started. We did not have to run out and leave before we were done. The to go cup system was also nice. Whether coffee, tea, or booze, they gave us a cup to go.

Food is usually pretty good. The shrimp cocktail is awesome and the dessert table is usually amazing.
