The food is very delicious and even our toughest guests were loving the food. They set up everything and delivery prices are reasonable. They are easy to work with. I worked with Marilyn Bosman on setting up this event. She was always available and very reasonable to talk with. She was very helpful too. She was also understanding & sensitive of some dietary restrictions we had. It was greatly appreciated.

Best Price, Best Food, & Best Deal in the western suburbs. I have used them twice and all our guests could not stop complimenting the food. Very delicious; Mostaccioli, Italian beef, salads, etc...they deliver, set up, include plates & utensils.
