Sarah was very easy to work with and very helpful in accommodating several people who had food allergies and other dietary restrictions. Everything about the event was spectacular. The food was delicious, the staff was professional and the service was top notch. We received many compliments from guests about the food. Things couldn't have been better. I highly recommend The Landing Catering for any event you are considering.

I am unfamiliar with the South Bend area and had to trust that the reviews were correct. I was NOT DISAPPOINTED in the least! Sara was very helpful and responsive to my questions, all via email! She and her Team did a fantastic job with every detail and all of my guests raved about the delicious food! The onsite server was professional and efficient. Needless to say, I was so pleased and relieved and I look forward to working with them again in the future! Thank you, Sara.

It was also the only catered breakfast I've had that actually tastes fresh, the eggs were so good! We had a bunch of people comment on how amazing everything was. I highly recommend hiring them for any wedding or event you have in the future! I'm definitely going to be ordering from them again for future events! We forgot to take photos of the tables but it was great because they provided the heating pans, utensils for serving, and boxes to keep the food warm. All we had to do was return it all!

We tried different things both times except for the salsa and the bruschetta which are amazing. The Italian Beef is SO good. Everyone raves about it. And I'm a fan of the chicken tetrazzini!! As far as I can tell you can't go wrong with anything. Everyone there is super-nice. They delivered the food and set up the warming table. All I did was return the racks the next day. It couldn't have been easier. Highly, Highly recommend!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! I had my wedding there on 8/8/2015 and having it at Heston Hills Banquets made…read moreall the difference! First off, I loved that the location has both an outside (Prairie Terrace) that is surrounded by nature and a lovely/elegant, grand ballroom on the inside (Galena room). So naturally, I chose to have both my ceremony AND reception there! What I also really liked about the "plan B" location for the ceremony just in case it rained (Prairie view room). Secondly, the event coordinator there, Sue, was such a huge help! I met with her on several occasions going over the food (Heston provides the food-so good!), drink, chair/table, and decoration options. Could't have done it without her! Third and final point, is that all of this was at a very good price! I was looking around for several months trying to find venues that had what I was looking for that didn't come with a Chicago amount price tag. It was a win-win in the end! The day of the wedding came around and everything went so smoothly! Nothing went wrong at all-absolutely flawless! Sue and her assistant kept the flow of things moving at a good pace and they arranged everything with the vendors on site. Thank you so much again! So, if you're looking for a perfect ceremony and/or reception site, look no further :)

Went here for a wedding this past weekend. Gorgeous space - but waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay out in the…read moremiddle of no where La Porte Indiana. Indeed, it was one of the more beautiful wedding spaces I have been too, but it was so secluded cell phone reception for myself and multiple guests was iffy at best. Not that I was dying to talk on my phone, but I think if you are considering this place for your wedding/event - look into it. I used my cell phone non stop on my wedding day - as getting ahold of your wedding party is crucial. So, just something to think about - may be an issue for some. Wedding was outside on a terrace overlooking a gorgeous area of tree lined land (no tent, but I heard they are available) and it was really spacious. Reception was inside and the banquet room was nice and had huge windows overlooking some woods which was really nice and different from the typical boring banquet facilities. Food was delicious - although I wish the portions had been a little bigger. If i'm drinking for more than 3 hours I need a substantial base. :) All in all - really enjoyed it. About two hours from Chicago, and although we didn't stay at a hotel, there are plenty within 15-20 minutes.

Traveling to Grand Rapids, we stopped along the way for lunch at Tabor Hill Winery. We haven't been…read morethere in years. I forgot how good their restaurant is. We sat outside overlooking the vineyard. Molly was our server. She was friendly and engaging. Lunch was a walleye sandwich with chips for hubby and the fig & prosciutto flatbread for me. The walleye had a crispy crust coating the moist and tender fish. I took a bite of hub's sandwich and it was so good. My flatbread, though, was amazing. I'm all about a good crust and this one was perfection. So crispy, yet light with all air pockets in the crust. Of course, I love anything fig and this didn't disappoint. I ate 3 squares and took the rest with me. Of course being at the vineyard, we ordered a glass of wine. My husband had the albariño and I ordered the sauvignon blanc. I didn't care for the sauvignon blanc. When the manager came by, we raved about the food but I was honest about the wine. She gave me a taste of the chardonnay and she was right. It was good. I was happy she switched my wine. The negatives are the wasps are nuisances, and there were no traps to catch them. I was dodging them the entire meal. I guess it's hazard when dining al fresco. The other annoyance was the water glasses are small, and my water was never refilled and my glass sat empty even with Molly and the manager stopping by during the meal. Since the glass is small, they should leave a bottle of water at the table or make it a point to check and recheck the water glasses. This is a nice stop for lunch on the Michigan wine trail.

At first we were missing the old standbys and the plentiful choices. However, once we ordered we were satisfied with the fresh and delicious food choices. The new 9 dollar appetizer really clicked and our entree of trout was well prepared and something out of the ordinary. The Mille floure for dessert capped of a cozy anniversary dinner. As always the wine was delicious and worth the visit! Tabor Hills is a gem and always the right choice for any occasion. Tabor Hills service was friendly and attentive and the food reflecting upscale artistry of the culinary arts!

My wife told me about this place and said that everyone was raving about the chicken, so we decided…read moreto try it. We stopped for lunch on a Friday at 11:45pm and there were only a couple tables open. This is a small place (think authentic 50s diner, not the kind with pictures of Elvis and reproduction Coke signs), with maybe 30 people max seating. Whatever you do, don't judge the book by its cover. The owner (great guy!) gave us menus and took our drink order. We split a 4 pc chicken dinner with mashed potatoes & gravy along with mac and cheese. After a short wait, around 5 mins, he returned with our meal, and he already had it on two plates for us. There are no frills here. Exactly what you order is what comes on the plate. No garnish, no flourish. But man oh man, is that chicken gooooood. The skin is crispy but not fried hard so that you think your teeth will shatter. The seasoning is just right - super tasty! The meat is moist but not underdone. This is the kind of chicken you remember from grandma's house on Sunday. Or in this case, Pa's house. I travel all the time for work and I always tell people that the best chicken is at the chain Pizza Ranch (don't laugh until you try it). Until now. I cannot put into words how good this is. All the sides were handmade, and you could tell they really care about the food they put out. After we were finished scarfing down our food, we decided to try something else and we ordered a cup of their cheese potato soup, which was really good as well. We also grabbed a couple cookies on the way out. I cannot wait to take my family here; I think they are going to love it and be pleasantly surprised like I was. This is one of the only places that has ever lived up to online hype, I will be back often.

Well, it's a murder mystery, and you have a starring role. You walk up a flight of stairs into the 1800s past. It was awesome to walk around. You can actually Airbnb when they are not hosting events or rent it out. The owner was so nice and shared stories about the building and about how they will be filming a up coming move in this charming space. The people whom worked the event were extremely helpful to every need.They have a cash bar and the bartender can make a great drink. And the food was excellent from start to finish. Hors d'oeuvres with finger foods, dinner with dessert and coffee at the end. The conversations and the socializing with new people made it a very fun filled event.The game was fun and made you think. A very enjoyable evening. Cannot wait to do it again.

We each had a wine sampler and ended up choosing the same 4 reds. The cab options were both very good and we really enjoyed the Raspberry Kiss even though we don't generally like really sweet wines. We also shared the mustard sample appetizer with pita chips and pretzels. The gentleman working was very knowledgeable and personable. We had the place to ourselves and enjoyed fireside seating by the wood burning stove the staff had just got going. There is live music on the weekends and comedy shows starting in January. We'll definitely be back.
