Review of Tasty Catering

I was on the fence about posting a review but felt others needed to be aware of our experience whether it be good or bad.

I will say the food was good. The tasting worked out well. The office personnel were nice, while some email responses were slow at times.

Onto the reception, there were some disappointments. Tasting Catering is a preferred vendor for Oak Brook Bath and Tennis so we decided to go with them since they are familiar with the venue and layout.

We had ordered pasta with Vodka Sauce since many guests were sensitive to red sauce. While the owner assured me it was vodka sauce, many guests at the wedding had stated it was definitely red sauce. There is a distinct different in taste, texture and color between the two. Not sure how there could be confusion.

The 2nd issue was major. My now wife had created a specialty drink for the guests which was posted at the bar to try. I and a bunch of other guests had noticed the posted drink sign kept "falling over". So I would stand it back up whenever I saw it face down. Come to find out the bartender did not want to make the drink so he would place the sign face down so people did not see it. He would also tell the guests he ran out of ingredients to make the drink. I heard this from many guests the next morning. How do you have the nerve to do something like that?!

After discussing with their ownership, we were credited a certain amount for the inconvenience and apparently the bartender was fired for his actions.

This review is not to bash tasty catering as I feel the ownership did what they could to make things right. This is just to share and make others aware of our experience using this company.
