“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!“
“Our wedding was held on 4-7-2024. George did exactly what he said he would do for the ceremony and reception. The ceremony and reception turned out to be absolutely beautiful. George made the process seamless. He handled all the details which made us not even need a wedding coordinator. The guests raved about how amazing the food was!!! Everything George said he would do, he did. I am so happy we went with the Cotillion Banquets. I highly recommend this venue for your CEREMONY and RECEPTION or reception only. I was very nervous about how everything would turn out but in the end it was perfect. The staff were super friendly and helpful. George even let us use the bridal suite to do our hair and makeup hours before the event! What a blessing it was to have someone care as much as he does. He made our big perfect and without any issues. Thank you!“
“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.“
“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.“

“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!“
“Everything I have ever purchased from here has exceeded my expectations and when I bring donuts to work, everyone raves how good they are. Other than sub par chain donut places in the city, there are almost none that I know of in the NW side of Chicago that are as good as Deerfield's. I do not mind the drive bc I know Im getting the best donuts.“
“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 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!“
“I highly recommend the Brunch Factory. The food is great and service is attentive. They have great coffee, espresso and frappe options. You have to try the baklava pancakes, what a masterpiece! The yogurt parfait was made with fresh berries andcrunchy granola. Try the eggs Benedict or skillets. We came in for brunch and everyone left happy and satisfied. The head of management Dina came by our table to make sure we were enjoying the food. Definitely will return soon.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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 ordered catering for a party for 20 people on 10/12/2023. Everything was ready on time, the dishes were very tasty and beautifully presented.

There is a great variety of food and produce and everything has been fresh and tasty! SO happy I found this company and highly recommend it for any child care centers in the area!“
“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.“
“Parkside Meal Prep is a gem! They deliver delicious and healthy meals that reheat perfectly! They’d make an especially thoughtful gift for a meal train for someone who is recovering from a health issue or has welcomed a new little one into the home! Extremely thoughtful packaging and menu planning, frequent rotation of meals so they never get boring! 5 stars!!“
“I come here often for lunch. The lunch specials are great. Really good quick service bagel/deli spot. Very conveniently located.Really good bagels and sandwiches. I have high confidence everything else is good too.I have been to the sister location on Dundee in Northbrook and it is good as well.“
“Great food! Servers are nice. They keep on refilling the food containers even on the last hour. Love their bacon and cheesecake and mostly their brussels! Can’t wait to go back again.Parking: Depends on what time you will be there. Just got lucky I have patience to wait for good parking spot near the front entrance.“
“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.“
“Wedding bells Wanted to share our wedding tasting meal! We had to choose dishes to try and here was the whole spread, needless to say we were full by the end of it, but it was such a work experience! We are very happy with how the Belvedere handled this part of our wedding process it was smooth and easy!“
“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!“
“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.“
“This used to be powered by Lou’s in the past. Now I had to go through EZ Cater for this. It wasn’t as easy as using their previous site but i got entering I needed. Now I just have to wait for the event date to come so that I can see if it all gets delivered properly. I will update this review when that happens.“
“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.“
