Everything was so well done! Saturday’s food was beyond wonderful. You would not believe how many compliments we received. In particular the spring rolls were a big hit! I thought the chicken salad in endive leaves were exquisite. The desserts were all memorable and luscious, and I am PICKY about my lemon bars!  Everything was very well done, and the food display looked so colorful and festive. The coffee was even good, and that's unusual -- it's difficult to keep coffee tasting fresh for several hours. All chilled drinks stayed nice and cool in iced dispenser towers. I have only praise for all aspects of the catering, and the helpful assistance from Jaquelyn beforehand with menu decisions.

Second time not a charm We used Arista last year and without hesitation I signed up again without even researching my options. Unfortunately the service this year was below par with our first experience. The coffee and tea were taken away after breakfast and no additional water was left for lunch, both were part of the contract. And, no chips with a taco bar? Sad. Food was generally tasty, no complaints there. But I was running the meeting and could not break away to ask for service items that were amiss. I realize that at the Horticultural Center we as customers are a captive audience to their caterer "preferred list". Next year I'll do some research...

I had a very positive experience… I had a very positive experience working with Arista. Alejandra helped answer my questions and was lovely and professional in helping me select the right menu. An event coordinator for a local non-profit, I hosted an event for what ended up being 40 people, and the food turned out very well. The woman who dropped off the catering was right on time, and she helped stage the beautiful appetizers according to my vision. Of course we were on a budget, and Arista delivered both in affordability, presentation and flavor. The beef tenderloin on crostini and bruschetta were the most popular. The balsamic infused watermelon bites were talked about the most - such a different combination but really tasty! I look forward to working with Arista again in the future!

Over and above From the beginning, Brett guided us, making suggestions to help stay in budget and make our event a fantastic evening. Trust Brett; he was right on everything. During the evening, Arista served absolutely beautiful and delicious appetizers to our auction crowd. The evening was warmer than expected and Arista appeared with ice water for everyone. Every staff person wore a bright smile. They kept asking to see if all our needs were being met. I highly recommend Arista for your next event, large or small.

Arista was the Perfect Choice We are happy to have selected Arista. The clarity in up front communications allowed me to know and select the exact items for my occasion. The flexibility to deal with special food needs of some guests was really great. The food was excellent and the staff was courteous and attentive. Everyone I spoke with loved the food. I thought the costs were very reasonable as well.
