GBImportant Banquet-Highly Recommend Arista We had Arista cater a very important school banquet. Though our budget was limited, Arista worked within the budget and provided an amazing dinner that exceeded our expectations. Everyone agreed it was the best one yet! The Arista team was friendly and very professional. They took alot of pressure and stress off the committee. We will definitely have Arista cater again next year.

GBSecond 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...

GBVery professional and well orchestrated! Two thumbs up in all respects except one. The one and only catering staff person, Willie, was under the impression that he could leave after setting up all the food items but before the guests arrived. I asked him if he could stay for a while, to help with serving and cleaning. Willie agreed to do so, which was a huge plus in my book! But in the future I suggest making sure this item, namely service help during an event, is addressed up front to help avoid any last minute surprises or frustrations. Job well done!

GBLifeSaver In planning my mother's memorial service my sister and I had some different ideas about food to serve. Luckily my wife suggested Arista Catering.....at a very difficult time their professionalism and huge variety of food offerings made getting a menu together for this event easy. Brett's team tweaked the menu according to our input, showed up and set up and served food that impressed everyone present and did my mother proud then cleaned up and sent us off with our guests. Peace of mind on important days is priceless and we'll use Arista again.

GBArista 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.
