This is my first ever yelp review, and it saddens me that I had to write it. I am not one to…read morecomplain, but I feel so upset that I let my family down on Christmas Eve. I ordered fried calamari and baked clams from Villa Brunetti. I make them every year, but this time I hosted at home and didn't have the means to make all the seafood. It was a total disappointment. I received a shallow pan half filled with calamari that looked like they were thrown into the fryer with no flour or breading. The baked clams were so tiny and all bunched up together. I paid $140.00 for these dishes, and was left embarrassed to serve inedible products. I have been in the food service industry for over 25 years, and a chef for 16 years, so I know what food is supposed to look like, taste, and presented. (No excuse for the execution). Prior to writing this review, I reached out to the restaurant and the only thing they had to say is that I was the only one who complained, they where dismissive and uncaring and they did not feel like they had to make anything right. I most certainly understand "things happen" One complaint or 100 complaints, that shouldn't matter. To be met with indifference by staff shows a lack of customer service and respect for your clientelle. What happened to making things right? Never again will I order from Villa Brunetti or will I attend their events.

She is thoughtful, communicative and just so charming! I am gluten free, but Alyson and the whole Hearty Boys crew made sure I had my own gluten free version of every Hors d'oeuvres. We had about 150 guests. Everyone loved the food and the service and they were so accommodating with guests who had restrictions. Wedding decision fatigue is real. Let this be your sign to make the easy decision to choose Hearty Boys! You'll be in wonderful hands!

When we did our tasting, we knew pretty quickly they were the top, both because the food was several levels above what we'd tasted with other caterers, and because Derek asked us great questions throughout the tasting to better understand what we needed for our event, and to make great recommendations & help us think through aspects that hadn't even occurred to us yet. We had quite a few people in the weeks after the wedding reach out to say that they've never had better food at a wedding, and that was our experience too! They also staff the event incredibly well, and each of the team members we interacted with was a pro. Definitely add them to your list, and expect them to beat everyone else!

Just for ease, the banquet hall is located on the east side of River Road. Very easy and close to I-294. Close to the airport if that helps. It was a luncheon served family style which I personally like as one is able to select their own food and as much or little as they want. They served a beef dish, chicken dish, and pierogi for main dish selections. Tasty, ample and no complaints. The hall was roomy and clean and the servers were very pleasant. I did not go up to the second floor but it looked like there were smaller event rooms up there. Plenty of on site parking and valet was not needed. I am not sure if that service is even offered.

She over charged me by $100, my sister by $131 and my brother by $142. We called her out on it and she proceeded to argue with us saying she was right. We had to do the math in front of her four different times because each time she would go back to change the bill it was wrong still. I was so fed up and couldn't find a manager. I asked for the tip to be removed or reduced because of it and I was told no. Then on top of it they charge you a 5% fee to use credit card. It's not posted anywhere not do they inform you when making a reservation. Over all it was a waste of time a horrible experience. Not sure if they thought we were stupid because we were the only other non Polish/ukraine family there but never ever again. PLEASE AVOID AT ALL COST.

I can't believe they have been around for 4 years and this is my first time there…read more When we walked in I was concerned that no one was in the restaurant. In their defense it was 4:00 and the evening rush hadn't began. We were greeted by a lovely young lady (Nicki) We decided on 3 sandwiches so we could try a little of everything (or so we thought) 1. Brisket sandwich Amazing! Perfectly cooked, 6 options for BBQ sauces. Just a great sandwich. 2. Pastrami sandwich Spectacular! My personal favorite. If you're looking for a NY style Pastrami, then go to NY. This sandwich was a thick cut Chicago sandwich. Also, not a traditional mustard but a mustard dressing...fine by me because the Pastrami is all that matters. So juicy so flavorful, a fat man's (me) dream 3. Italian beef. I was almost full and picked at the beef...really good too...but I have to say their giardiniera is amazing. My only gripe with the beef was it didn't come out hot, it came out warm...I prefer hot WAIT THERE'S MORE!!! Halfway through our meal Nicki came by to check on us and DROPPED A COUPLE OF PIECES OF SKIRT STEAK on the table for us to try...no seasoning at all not even salt...its was sooooo good that I'm going to get the steak sandwich next time. Great food, great atmosphere, and great people It's a must have

Everything I've ever had from here in the past three years has been incredible and I think about it a lot. It's one of the last places where you get that community feeling even when you step through the door; wether you're greeted when you walk in or having someone check on you while you eat, the ambiance is unmatched.This is a restaurant that I recommend to people I like because you don't just go to Top Butcher once it becomes part of your routine. The Scorza family is always inside talking to everyone and working like maniacs. Top Butcher is on my death row meal... I love this place!
