The food from Cutting Edge Eatery tasted great, but the service and experience were really…read moredisappointing. We ordered an even split of fettuccine and baked spaghetti but got double the spaghetti instead. We paid for 78 portions (with 11 kids), had over 15 guests not show up, and still barely had enough food -- even the bride and groom hardly got any. The food was delivered in the trunk of a Corvette, which didn't seem like enough space for everything, and when I reached out afterward about being shorted, I was ignored. The staff were outside smoking instead of setting up and took forever to get ready. They also never asked about silverware color and just used gold. Food was delicious, but the lack of professionalism really ruined the experience.

Hello, If you are…read moreplanning a visit to the Carbondale/Makanda/Marion area of Southern Illinois, this is a great place to stay! If youre not already aware, this area is fast become the Napa Valley of the Midwest. If you love fresh air,good food and wine, and genuinely nice people, this is a great destination. Regarding The Alto Wine Trail Loft: This is a really beautifully restored building in the old, historic downtown Makanda, Illinois area, literally in the heart of the Wine Trail area. The actual street looks like youve stepped back in time to the late 1800s...It looks like youre on a movie set! Very nice amenities, very comfortable beds, beautiful appointments, full kitchen, and wi-fi provided. We definitely noticed and appreciated how meticulously the place was taken care of, its nice and CLEAN! Also, very courteous staff. Brian, the owner, is a great guy...he is very helpful, and knowledgeable about the area: its history, and all the best places to see and visit. The location couldn't be better, close to all the vineyards and restaurants....minutes to downtown Carbondale,and very close to all the great shopping and restaurants in Marion,and Benton,Ill. Close to Giant City, and so much sightseeing. We had a great stay there, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful, comfortable place to stay on the Wine Trail!

He let us reschedule at our convenience with no fees... we were in such need to getaway to a quiet spot with no muss, no fuss, and this was it. Owner has taken time to give attention to things, nice showerhead (hey, they matter!), comfy beds, cozy beautiful pine inside, nice patio area, kitchen cooking spot where you just feel like home. We couldn't be more delighted and would love to come back someday. And the biggest perk - he made himself very available on phone should we ever have questions - even to the point of helping us get there when the GPS wasn't cooperating! Thank you so much :)

They managed to set up the food in about 15 mins but by that time over half the guest had left. They upcharged us from $2700 for 75 people to $4000 for 125 ppl by the time the cold food was served we had less then 75 ppl left. They offered $500 back that's all. Worse once the food was served most of it was cold including the bread that was still freaking frozen. The workers who were there though were extremely polite and hard working trying to please everyone but hard to do when the company don't bring the food. I only recommend this company if you want to pay extra for sub par food, and have them show up 2 hours late
