Showcase Live

I came here for a function and was not impressed at all. The basic functions of a function by the function hosts, the food and service, did not...function well.

I wish I could tell you how the hors d'oeuvres at the cocktail hour tasted, but they were barely seen, as the servers were virtually non-existent. The drinks were watered down, which continued to sully the event.

The risotto with chicken was decent, in that the rice was cooked well and the chicken wasn't dry. The dessert, however, was a little tacky. Ice cream sandwiches that were rock solid were rather kitschy for a professional event. Plus I needed a blow torch to thaw it. I know, the organizers might've chosen this, but I can still flame the venue for poor execution.

Service was average at best. It just seemed like the servers were there when you didn't need them and not around when you needed them. A bit of a stickler, yes, but I'm sure the group that organized the event didn't get this place for cheap.

Intimate venue for a concert, pre-game tailgate, or private party. Great drinks and food and the staff is great. Would never hesitate to go to an event at Showcase live.

The set up is nice. The floor (standing area) is directly in front of the stage, around that is the VIP booths you can sit in and behind that is the bar.
* I will warn you that if you get a VIP booth you will probably have to stand if you want to see the performance.

I wanted to love this venue I really did... But by the time the main band- Buckcherry was on stage the speakers had blown. Therefore you couldn't really hear the band at all. Luckily I was standing in the front row... But come on. We came to be able to HEAR the band.

Also, when I called to ask about about this show the man on the phone was so nasty. Horrible customer service.
