“Worth the wait and must try! Beautiful and unique venue in the unassuming town of Des Plaines. Our server was kind and welcoming, food was delicious, drinks were fun and tasty. The only two items that were less than ideal, the horrible acoustics (incredibly loud) and although it was too on my list to try, the chicken shawarma rolls were underwhelming. Even with those two items, the great service and food quality it's still worth the 5 star review. We sat upstairs, which very much appreciated, being out of the hustle and bustle of the downstairs. Looking forward to trying the brunch and the outside patio... overlooking the water.“
“I am Goldstone Financial Group's Client Concierge and we held a client appreciation event at the Barrington White House last week & are very happy with the service/cuisine Catered by Design provided. It was a pleasure to coordinate this event with Rachel, their catering sales specialist, as they had many options and offerings. I appreciated her quick & detailed replies to our questions/ requests. On the day of, the catering team captain, Laura & staff were phenomenal as was the food! They were kind, accommodating, gracious & professional. No one went hungry & all of our guests left happy. We couldn't ask for a better experience & look forward to working with them again.BTW - The gals in the office loved the brie & raspberry bites the best and the cannoli bar was also a complete hit!“
“Ovy Signature Catering is the best of the best when it comes to wedding catering! From start to finish, working with Ati, Ovy and the rest of the team was such an enjoyable and seamless process. We could tell immediately how much they care for the couples that they work with and there was no doubt in our mind we made the right decision by working with them! Upon our first meeting they took the time to get to know us, our cultural backgrounds and used the details to put together an incredible wedding tasting menu. Everything was so delicious and just an exceptional experience - our hardest choice was deciding which of their amazing dishes we were going to select for our big day!We felt the love from the entire team through the entire process - they joined us at our venue walk-throughs at Wildman BT in West Town and worked seamlessly with the staff on site, helped us with our timeline, made last minute adjustments for us and assured us that no matter what requests we had they would do their best to deliver and they did 10 fold!The week of the wedding Ati texted me directly to make sure we were enjoying the week, offered to take on any tasks and assured us that we were taken care of so we could sit back and enjoy - it helped to relieve so much stress and I could not be more thankful for his kindness, attentiveness and his true concern for Brett and I on such a big weekend!When it came to the wedding day Ovy and the team provided 5 star service from start to finish - Brett and I had all our Hors d'oeuvres and a drink waiting for us right after our ceremony while the rest of our 200 guests enjoyed drinks from the incredible bartenders and 6 incredible Hors d'oeuvres through our passed cocktail hour. We have not gone a day since our wedding without someone telling us how incredible the food was! The entrees were served hot, timely and tasted even better than we had remembered it. We were even told that the presentation was like it was served at a gourmet restaurant - it truly was!Ovy Signature Catering is the best in the game and I would recommend them over and over again to anyone throwing a wedding! Thank you to the team for being part of the best weekend of our lives!“
“This place is amazing! Their customer service is top notch, they do what they say they will, and the value for the cost is best around. We regularly cater lunch for corporate meetings. We've tried Panera, PotBelly, etc. No one compares. Panera sandwiches have two pieces of meat on them and soggy letuce. PotBelly is good, but limited selection for those with dietary restrictions. Jimmy Johns may be fast but questionable quality at best. Give Tasty a try, you won't regret it!“
“Located in community where veganism is scarce puts this restaurant on the map. I've seen many reviews and videos via social media and decided to give it a try. I ordered my food online for pickup. Super seamless pick up. It was clean and quiet inside the establishment. I loved the Birria vegan tacos. The chef did not skimp on the mushrooms or the flavor. I would've wanted it to be spicy but it was still delicious without. For vegan consume, I will say it's good but doesn't quite hit the spot as the non vegan consume would. Great for dipping though. I think three tacos is incredibly filling but would've appreciated rice or beans to be added to the dish for the price. As a tea connoisseur (not really but still), I can appreciate the liquid gold beverage. I definitely believe this is for people interested in trying tea or using it for medicinal purposes. I found it to be something I could've whipped up at home so I wouldn't be inclined to try again. Overall, I will be a repeat customer.“
“Had a private dinner with my family at Dave's last night. It was great! The food was excellent. We had stuffed mushrooms, avocado toast, polenta and pesto, hand rolled lasagna, pork shoulder with blueberry sauce and strawberry shortcake for dessert. Everything was handmade right in front of us and delicious. We loved having the place ourselves and dined for at least 3 hours. Dave, our chef entertained us and told us tons of cooking secrets. The shop is BYOB so we brought all of our favorite refreshments. The atmosphere is warm and friendly. We plan to come back for many more meals.“

“We recently had the pleasure of working with True Cuisine catering service, and I must say, they exceeded all expectations. True Cuisine came to our rescue just few weeks before our ceremony after our previous vendor canceled last minute. Despite the short notice, their staff was incredibly accommodating and professional.Now, let's talk about the food - it was simply amazing! The steak and salmon were cooked to perfection, and the flavors were exceptional. True Cuisine also offers a selection of beautiful silverware, adding an elegant touch to our event.I cannot say enough about Meghann, who was a delight to work with. Her attention to detail and dedication to ensuring everything went smoothly were truly appreciated. Luiz was also the star of the day leading and coordinating the team. Overall, I highly recommend True Cuisine catering service - they saved the day and made our event unforgettable!“

“Flew from Reno to Chicago to see my son play lacrosse in the Milwaukee area. Had to stay in Chicago over night due to problems with our rental car. Happen to stay right next to Frannie"s Beef. So glad we stopped for a Italian beef and sausage combo sandwich. I have been craving a good italian beef sandwich since my last trip to Chicago. This place is an icon. Definitely will be stopping here again.“
“Pam catered a tea party baby shower for us for 35 guests. The food was delivered on time and it was absolutely delicious. Every guest raved about everything -- tea sandwiches, scones, pastries. We highly recommend doing a tea party bridal or baby shower and letting Pinecone Cottage cater it.“
“My husband and I used Elegante for our wedding this past weekend, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. The food tasted excellent, and we received SO many compliments from our guests. Our coordinator, Trish, was amazing as well!!! She really goes above and beyond to make sure you’re taken care of on your special day. I highly recommend them if you’re planing a special event or wedding!“
“We hosted our baby shower at church street, and it was amazing. Everyone loved the atmosphere. We worked with Jace before, during, and after the event. The food was amazing, I did not receive a single complaint from my very picky family members, they all agreed it was amazing. The guest enjoyed the beer and we even did a growler with a beer of choice as one of diapers raffle gifts and it was the most popular one! I am so happy we hosted our event here, it went so smooth and hassle free. I will definitely be hosting events again here in the future!“
“We just hosted our 50th high school reunion the other evening John and his staff could not have been more accommodating to us. They cheerfully answered every question, made certain everything was perfect and served us delicious food. I honestly think this place is an absolute gem. If the occasion arises I will definitely be using it again thank you thank you thank you Joyce Zelazik“
“This year I couldn't cook for Passover. I contacted Michaels and they couldn't have been nicer. I placed an order and they kept me well informed. The food was amazing. They ended up delivering to me and the delivery person was very helpful . All the food was packed well and came with full directions. Their brisket was excellent as was their Apple Kugel and sweet potato pancakes. I wouldn't hesitate to use Michaels again.“
“Definitely one of the top 5 pizza slices I have ever had. The jumbo slice is not only the biggest slice I have had,they have to cut it in half for you to really enjoy. I had the garlic dressing for the salad and it was amazing. I can't wait to try out the other items in menu. Best of all the workers are really nice, I Think it maybe a family owned business where you get that personal attention unlike corporate restaurants. Definitely going again.“
“Our garden club used Unforgettable Edibles for our annual Christmas party . The food was outstanding, and super tasty ( especially the lemon chicken). The butternut squash was superb. Our contact ( Careen) great customer service skills, and was friendly. Also women owned business, very important. Definitely will order for our next Christmas party.“
“We were in the area and remembered that Two Chefs was down the street. We have emotional ties to this restaurant because they catered our wedding in 2011 and we were very impressed with their food. The waitress greeted us at the door and was very professional, polite, and well dressed. My husband ordered the chicken pot pie, it was very flavorful. The chicken was very tender and the crust was flaky like you would expect. I ordered the 1/2 chicken with mashed potatoes and broccoli it was so delicious and brought back memories. We will be back for sure when we are in the area again. If your in the area, I recommend giving this place a try!“

“JOSE was our Waiter last night his service was impeccable! Smiles, jokes, makes you laugh, he waited on our party of 8 for 2 Birthdays, my Son and Mom, our party had various meals and everyone enjoyed! Jose always came back asking if we needed anything else, always made sure we had enough refills on drinks and making sure food was great. The restaurant is beautiful. Jose mentioned a dessert that crossed my curiosity. It was a Basil Blueberry Cheesecake. Now you would think spicy, not at all, it was delicious when you incorporate that savory and sweet flavors it was truly amazing! When I forgot the cakes, Jose had a plan B and made the Birthdays just as special. Thank you for making our 1st a Great Time! Will Definitely be coming back!The only thing that was a little difficult was finding a place to park, but other than that we asked after getting in and they do have a garage you can get your ticket stamped. Call ahead for parking.Hoping in the future that your restaurant might consider Valet Parking.“
“By far an amazing location to have a party. The staff was extremely helpful and Kat was an amazing help. I helped with someone's 55th birthday celebration and Kat and the team were phenomenal in helping make this day even better than. Planned. I would highly recommend Alpine and the team for events.“
“Allegra Banquets may not have had the most exceptional food options, but our experience attending a fundraiser for our son's school, "A Night at the Races," with a Kentucky Derby theme, was enjoyable.The banquet hall itself is modern, clean, and spacious, with accommodating staff. Despite multiple events happening simultaneously, we appreciated the lack of noise bleed from other parties.The friendly service and overall atmosphere make Allegra Banquets a recommended choice for hosting events.“
“I am so grateful to have accidentally walked past this place… it is so difficult to find someone local who has actually FRESH food. Not a thing in my salad is processed… even the carrots are hand chopped and fresh as can be. Will be returning for daily lunch without a doubt!“
“I have used La Viva for years and they have always done an outstanding job. The food is fantastic, they are always on time, they give so much food, and Tony is the kindest most wonderful person to work with. They make it seamless and easy!I could not recommend LA VIVA more!! 10 ⭐️’s!!!“
“We hosted a memorial service and luncheon here and were so impressed with the attentiveness of the staff. Anna was so cooperative adjusting the timing of things for us. The hall was beautiful and our guests had nothing but nice things to say about the food, service, and cleanliness.“
“That salmon salad is so, so good! It’s not just a hunk of bone-in salmon, so you actually get to have it with every bite. I got the raspberry vinaigrette to go with it—it’s crazy good. The kind of salad that you want to eat. And the sparkling mango lemonade was awesome too!I didn’t even mean to eat there today, but now I’m writing a review because my food from here really was that good. I’d post pictures, but I there’s nothing left.“
“Highly recommended!!!Excellent food very fresh and served hot! Excellent service, the drinks served are true drinks not filled with simple syrup and cut on alcohol! Very clean! I highly recommend them for weddings, parties never dissatisfied always exiting very satisfied . I thank the kitchen chef and his entire staff for delicious food, the servers for wonderful and professional service, the barman and his team for great drinks, the cleaning staff for keeping the place spotless and the bathrooms for never run out of toilet paper, napkins, cleaning up... Let's see but not lease the owners/ management for making everyone happy and welcomed.Beata P.“
“Whenever I'm in Chicago I search for hidden gem foodie spots. I mean Chicago is literally foodie Heaven. We didn't dine in because we were trying to prepare for an event but I'm kind of glad we didn't. It's small and dark inside, and I felt like the tables were too close together. But they made up for it all with an AMAZING breakfast. I got the gyro skillet. Absolutely delicious!! The picture does it absolutely no justice.. I never thought of gyro as a breakfast item and now I know I need it often. There were huge portions of meat and amazing tzatziki sauce and nobody will ever call them stingy with the cheese because for every bite I got delicious feta cheese chunks mixed in. It was amazing. The pancakes were basic, there was nothing wrong with them but I'm not going to reminisce on them. But that gyro skillet!!! I can't wait to get it again“
“This is one of Elmhurst's best kept secrets.Next to the Normandy room, inside the postIs the bar/ restaurant ~Although limited by lunch hours of 11-2The blue ? plate special is always changing & a great value.Multiple pub grub sandwiches adourn the menu, with daily soups and sandwiches.Portions are large, not too fancy and with homecooked flair (taste).The Normandy room offers weekly entertainment of a varietyPrices are below standard (a good value) in my opinion.Service was excellent !“
“We hired Corky's Catering for our wedding at Promontory Point, and are so glad we did. Kristina was phenomenal from start to finish - she answered all of our emails and phone calls promptly and helped us put together the perfect menu. The food was absolutely delicious and the staff were extraordinarily polite and helpful throughout. We would definitely recommend Corky's Catering for any Chicago-area event!“
“We are so happy we booked Biagio for our wedding!! We first met with Zaneta at the very beginning of our venue search, she answered every question (and I had many!), I am still amazed by how quickly she replied to my emails. She was so incredibly patient and worked with us to make our day special. We absolutely loved the rustic vibe and cool decorations, it has a loft style to it. We were able to have our rehearsal dinner right next door (at a discount) which was a huge perk and convenience. The food sold us - Blanca made sure every detail was perfect for our wedding!! We cannot recommend Biagio enough!!“
“The food here is great. I love the caldo de pollo, and it is my go-to whenever anyone in my family is feeling under the weather. The tortas, burritos, and tacos here are good too. Haven’t tried anything else on the menu yet. The food is always hot and ready for pickup within the time frame estimated.Only downside is that trying to back out of their parking lot on the street can be tough when traffic is busy.“
“Honest Foods they are 100 percent AWESOME! When I tell you Honest Foods are exceptionally delicious believe it!!! They are indeed top tier food for every event!! They have done Major Events for me and I’m never disappointed! The Staff is so professional kind and super fun! Great time and amazing Food!!!“
“We used LetUsCater for a swimming team coming to Wesmont for a high level competition. The food was great, Moe was extremely reactive and helpful. We had to adjust schedule due to flight delays and he accomodated us right away.We will for sure use his services again if we come back in the Chicago area. Thanks a lot !“
“Great Japanese style bakery with fresh, light and tasty cakes. Much better than comparable Korean bakeries as the price is more affordable and cake is much better tasting than what you would find at a Tous les jours. Definitely recommend this bakery for all your cakes and yummy goodness.“
“Was the perfect solution to a meal (and then some) for us busy folks. We got the wing dinner and were blown away by the seasoning, the choice of sauces and fast easy pick up. Seriously, as good as the chicken we got when we were eating our way across the South. I’m super stoked to have such high quality close by and not have to deal with a big chain…i do hope they develop a fried chicken sandwich to rival ole P**eyes, of course…but i know they’re just getting started! 10/10!“
“I had the absolute pleasure of working with Just Like Mama's for a corporate event last week, and I couldn't be more impressed with their exceptional service and delectable food. Ms Veda and her team at Just Like Mama's went above and beyond to make our event a resounding success.From the moment they arrived, it was clear that professionalism and punctuality were at the forefront of their service. They set up everything seamlessly and right on time, ensuring that the entire catering process was smooth and stress-free.Now, let's talk about the food - oh my goodness, it was an absolute delight for the taste buds! The BBQ chicken was incredibly tender and flavorful, the rib tips were succulent and perfectly cooked, the baked beans had just the right amount of smokiness and sweetness, and the cole slaw was a refreshing balance of crunch and creaminess. Each dish was clearly prepared with love and attention to detail, and it truly felt like a homemade feast. Our guests raved about the meal, and many even asked for Just Like Mama's contact information for their own future events.If you're looking for a locally-owned restaurant that delivers top-notch catering, Just Like Mama's is an absolute gem. Ms. Veda and her team have mastered the art of combining mouthwatering flavors with exceptional service. I can't recommend them highly enough, and I'm already looking forward to the next opportunity to savor their delicious offerings.Thank you, Just Like Mama's, for making our event an unforgettable experience!“
“Inspired Catering was perfect for my wedding! The service was amazing and beyond that the food was delicious! I always say that people only remember really bad food or amazing food at weddings, nothing in between. Well, guests keep talking about how outstanding my food was, even the foodies! The staff was great and Liz, our main contact, was so wonderful! She was easy to work with and quick to respond. I can't recommend Inspired more for your wedding or any catering needs!“
“I don't know how they ended up there but there's always a bunch of soul vegan options at my local bodega. All of them are good, but I'd sell my left foot for a lifetime supply of the Chik'n salad wrap. All offerings are good, but that wrap is amazing.“
“Had an amazing experience with Schaul’s for our wedding. We didn’t want the traditionally catered wedding and they ran with the challenge… They got every detail we asked for from the plates to the cutlery. We ended up with a BBQ buffet that still managed to be classy and organized. The staff was professional and even fun, shout out to Janet and Matt, especially! Bartenders were on point…let’s just say everyone had fun at this wedding. Absolutely fabulous job. Thank you!“
“The broasted chicken they have on Thursday is to die for it’s really good and it comes with 2 sides it’s really good deserts too I love their pound cake ? and everything is home made talk about eating something healthy and delicious will be coming back regularly“
“Burgers and sausage sandwiches are excellent here. The staff is incredibly welcoming and accommodating. When you come, your order is taken. The cost is quite affordable. The soup and fries are both excellent. Free sauce samples for your fries are frequently offered. There is typically parking accessible on the street as well as behind and to the side of the restaurant. They take care to only use premium ingredients. I'll most definitely be seeing them again soon! I recently went to this restaurant and was incredibly pleased with the meal and service. Now, you can place a phone order, and they will deliver it to your vehicle. As always, the service is prompt, quite amiable, and fairly priced for the quality of the food.“
“I would highly recommend them, the catering was absolutely amazing and the food was delicious. He is very attentive to details and will make sure everything runs perfect the day of the event.I definitely recommend them. The catering was exquisite. The gentleman who served me was very kind, punctual and very attentive to details, and he makes sure that everything is perfect the day the food is collected.“
“We tried food at the dining place at the back of the store. It was satisfactory.Vegetarian options: This is a japanese food dining place, so either it is tofu items, soups, vegetable rolls, boiled beans, friend vegetable or meat (salmon, chicken, pork etc.)So you can choose decently.Parking: Enought parking space because this is located in a strip mall.“
“HIGHLY RECOMMEND! We love the food here. No matter what he have ordered - IT'S SO GOOD. You can tell from the food that the owner LOVES TO COOK. He has meals off menu that he likes to offer because he tries new things. The love of cooking is in everything he does. The service has always been really good, no matter who we get. This is our go to place quite often.“
