    We hosted a corporate event in Chicago last month and used Chicago Dine Around. We did the interactive dining experience and it provides friendly competition and is a great team building event. Brandon and his crew did an outstanding job. He had all the details planned out and the bus from the hotel to the event was prompt and courteous. The whole experience was great. I would definitely use Dine-Around again!

    The entire process of planning our event was smooth sailing. Brandon had great communication in the months leading up to our offsite, and answered every small question our team had. We did the restaurant murder mystery/scavenger hunt and it was a blast! It was the perfect team building event we needed, and everyone really enjoyed themselves. Bonnie was a fantastic host and guided us through the night of the event.

    We had a blast at Randolph Tavern, mystery scavenger hunt dinner event. Chicago Dine Around folks are professional and fun. The event loses a star because the air was out and it was about 95 that day. I went to RT couple days earlier food was just OK but the air was not working properly, to my surprise for our event still not working (at all in the back). While Chicago Dine Around improvised and offered to move us, an advanced phone call would have been a nice heads up. That said, probs stay away from Randolph tavern, but i will use Chicago Dine Around again. Brandon was really attentive and helpful through the planning and it was a super nice group facilitating our event.

    Had a great experience with Chicago Dine-Around. Recently did a company Architectural Dinner Cruise and had a great time. Tour guide Bree was fantastic and really knew her stuff about the city and it's history. Food was great, drinks were cold and the sites were amazing. Thank you Bree and team!

    We worked with Chicago Dine Around for a corporate retreat, and our experience was fantastic! The staff were SUPER helpful leading up to and during the event. Brandon even helped coordinate other activities around the city and our transportation, and served as the one point person, making it super easy! The pizza making activity was very well timed out, Bree was very engaging, and the activities while waiting for the pizza to cook were great! We also loved John, our driver! Everything went very smoothly. Highly recommend!

    Start to finish, a wonderful experience for my team. We did the interactive culinary experience at Giordano's. From mojitos to cannoli, Karla lead our team with humor, patience and a real joy for what she does. Not only do I highly recommend this company, I have already booked my next event with them for the holidays. I'm sure our progressive dining tour will be as fabulous as our previous event.

    We had a company dinner cruise with Chicago Dine-Around in late September! It was the highlight of our conference. The weather, boat, host and tour narrator were just amazing. We so much appreciated Brandon and his whole team for making this such a memorable experience. I highly recommend them for any type of outing! You will not be disappointed.

    I had to organize the team outing of almost 50 people and ChicagoDineAround truly saved the day. The communication with Brandon couldn't have gone any smoother. He came up with recommendations that fit my teams need and worked out the best plan under our budget. We ended up doing the interactive culinary and boat tour combo. To start with, the deep dish pizza tasted surprisingly amazing and competition was fun(our team won and received free gifts). The shuttle we booked was spacious and always on time. Boat tour was a perfect experience for both local and remote team members who visited Chicago for the first time. It’s worth mentioning we went on the hottest day in Chicago but didn’t have any issue given the comfortable shuttle and covered lower deck on the boat. Brandon was professional and experienced, he answered all my questions promptly and provided solutions to all my problems. Im still receiving compliments for the events and really appreciate Chicago Dine Around’s effort to make the preparations easy for me!

    Couldn't have been better! I was asked to schedule four retreats for our team of @70 - pizza making at Giordano's. Brandon was great to work with - always very responsive and helpful, and we found creative ways to work out the details. Bree was our hostess for all four events. She was a delight - lots of energy and our group had a great time. I would definitely recommend Chicago Dine-Around for a retreat, company event, birthday party, or special event. No surprises on the details and lots of fun. Thank you!

    I worked with Chicago Dine-Around for a company outing recently and we had a fantastic time. Many of the attendees are not from Chicago and really enjoyed seeing different parts of the city and trying different restaurants. The planning process was very easy and Brandon answered all of my questions in a very timely manner. I would absolutely recommend this company for a corporate event or a fun night out with friends!

    Our team had a great time at our progressive dinner event. All we had to do was show up and we were fully taken care of. Brandon was so easy to work with and made sure everything was set up and took care of our vegetarian and vegan guests. Bri was with us throughout our progressive dinner, and she was wonderful! She had a fun trivia game for us and took very good care of us. The venues and food were very good. I plan to use Chicago Dine-Around for another event - our team loved it.

    Chicago Dine-Around takes care of all the details and truly makes it an easy corporate event. Food was delicious and they took care of every dietary restriction. I've received lots of compliments after the event. Thank you!

  • 5/5 Courtney H. 1 year ago on Google
    I came across Chicago Dine around via a Goggle search as I was coming up with ideas for a staff retreat. I am really glad that I did! Brandon was responsive, answered all of our questions and ensured that we were all set for our outing. Bree, our day of coordinator accompanied us on the trip, and made sure our day was stress free. Our group had a great time on the Architectural Dining Tour program. I would definitely work with them again as well highly recommend their service to others.

  • 5/5 Chelsea A. 1 year ago on Google
    I worked with Chicago Dine-Around to help with a department off-site (40 people) meeting that included making deep dish pizzas and cannoli at Giordano's followed by an architectural boat tour. It was such a great experience! Everyone complimented how it was so thought out that no one was rushed and having the transportation provided was a huge plus. Every time I reached out to Brandon he was so willing to help and talk through details. Can't recommend them enough!

  • 5/5 Vikky G. 1 year ago on Google
    They were a dream to work with! Brandon was very responsive and flexible when we needed to make a late change. Our hostess Bonnie was so much fun and also amazing to work with. As the group planner, this was definitely the way to go. I picked items from a menu and I got to actually enjoy the event because they handled everything! I highly recommend them. Thank you Brandon and Bonnie!

  • 5/5 Josie G. 2 years ago on Google
    What a fun event! We had a pizza making contest with the help of Brandon Schwarz and Chicago Dine-Around and it was a blast. Brandon was tremendous help in coordinating our event and always so responsive and professional. I highly recommend Chicago Dine-Around. They have so many options for a great corporate event. Thanks, Brandon!

    We chose Dine-Around to host a pizza making event for our small company outing. Would recommend to anyone looking for a fun alternative to just doing happy hours. Reservation process was easy and they're very responsive with communications.

  • 5/5 Hinali P. 2 years ago on Google
    The Chicago Dine Around team setup a splendid Progressive Dine Around journey for us. The restaurant selections/beverage guidance was on point. The event planner Brandon made sure everything was coordinated and handled before the event. Maureen was wonder the day of the event. She provided Chicago insights along the journey to the restaurants and she even took care of everything the day of the event and guided us through the entire experience. I would definitely recommend this business. Wonderful experience and event.

  • 5/5 Maria Diaz (. 2 years ago on Google
    The whole team showed an incredible amount of professionalism. My whole team had a memorable experience. All enjoyed the interactive activities, we especially liked the pizza making, the ability to help modify menu due to diet restrictions and to make all participants feel special was exceptional. The restaurants chosen were perfect as well. Great experience overall!

  • 5/5 Lisa M. 2 years ago on Google
    Our team of 30 recently planned a progressive dining event. Brandon was amazing to work with to set everything up. He was super responsive and worked with me to make a variety of accommodations to ensure all of our group's needs were met. Everyone had a blast, and the driver and our guide were wonderful as well. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Doris V. 2 years ago on Google
    We had a great time. This experience was very memorable. The booking went smoothly and was well-organized. Everyone in the group party had fun making the pizza and eating it. The people hosting the event were very professional, friendly and accommodating. I would recommend anyone who wants to book an event thats fun and well-organized, to book it with Chicago Dine-Around.

    If you are looking for an amazing and memorable team build for a corporate event, look no further than Chicago Dine-Around. Everyone I worked with was absolutely incredible, thoughtful, and made impossible possible. I am so grateful to Brandon especially for making the whole process easy, and to Bree for giving my team an exciting tour! Your company is top-notch!

  • 5/5 Ameeta A. 2 years ago on Google
    What a Treat! If 10 stars were available I would give that to the Chicago Dine- around. We worked with an incredibly dedicated team (Brandon and Bree) who made for the most memorable corporate event for our Deloitte Global team. Our guide, Bree was the best- She was very knowledgeable, friendly, spent extra time with us and gave us great trip tips. The pace was relaxed and fun. This experience exceeded expectations by a wide margin. The food/wine experiences were intimate and high quality. Based on our very positive experience, I highly recommend Chicago Dine-Around.

  • 5/5 Margie C. 4 years ago on Google
    I chose Chicago Dine-around because I wanted an event that was easy to run. I also wanted help displaying the unique side of Chicago to our attendees. Brandon was patient with my 54 ideas and helped me figure out what worked best with our plans. Our tour guide provided the attendees with great details about Chicago and ran us on schedule so I didn't have to worry about any logistics. Thank you!!

  • 5/5 mike f. 4 years ago on Google
    I did the progressive dining tour a few weeks back with my company. It was a great way to interact with other co-workers who work for other offices around the country. We went to three great restaurants in the city, one for appetizers, one for the main course and another or dessert. The guide was wonderful as they provided a fun, interactive tour on the coach bus and ensured that everything went smoothly at each of the restaurants. I would highly recommend this event as it is a great way to network and team build with other co-workers. We will be back in Chicago next year and plan to do this again.

  • 5/5 Christopher G. 4 years ago on Google
    We Chose Chicago Dine-Around because we wanted our guests to experience Chicago in a way they would remember, and Chicago Dine-Around Delivered! People are still talking about the event months later and what a great experience it was. Their highly competent team took care of everything from last minute changes to dietary restrictions, making sure that everyone had a great time! You want a wow factor, look no further than Chicago Dine-Around!

  • 5/5 Denise K. 4 years ago on Google
    Our annual customer event was held in Chicago in October and we chose Dine-Around for our prime networking event and it was fantastic! Our customers really enjoyed seeing the city, learning some fun facts from our awesome tour guide and eating classic Chicago foods. It provided lots of relaxed networking time for our customers and our post-event survey showed this was a highlight of their experience. Dine-Around also made it uber easy for the planner (me!) which of course was a tremendous bonus. I highly recommend this company and event!

  • 5/5 Cathleen M. 4 years ago on Google
    I’m always hesitant when attending corporate events for the holidays with co-workers. I reluctantly agreed to participate and must say that I am SO glad that I did!!! Brandon and his entire staff made the evening such a wonderful experience!!! The evening was so well organized and EVERYONE enjoyed the night out on the town! We had such a great time that we will back again this year for our holiday party. If you are considering the Dine Around experience, DO IT!!!!!

  • 5/5 Justin D. 4 years ago on Google
    Wonderful experience recently with Chicago Dine Around! Logistics were perfect, the restaurants were great, and it's a true gem in Chicago! Hope to return again soon!

    Brandon was very responsive and patient with all of my many questions as I planned a work event for 45 people while I was across the country. They are very flexible and accommodating. We did the interactive culinary experience and made deep dish pizzas. Everyone had a blast. There was a lot of laughing and the food was great. Brandon and Bonnie were on top of everything and checked in every step of the way. They were very organized and kept everything on track.

  • 5/5 Linda F. 7 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    What an amazing day we had thanks to Chicago Dine-Around and their wonderful team. The pre-planning with Brandon was seamless. We had a work event that consisted of a boat tour and lunch. Things could not have gone any smoother. Someone was always available to answer every question. I would highly recommend Chicago Dine-Around.
