The following review reflects my takeout experience DURING the shelter in place order currently in effect. I naturally assumed I'd never try the food here because I thought they were strictly caterers, and I'm not one that frequents neighborhood social events. First I'd have to be invited, and then I could turn them down. I believe that's how it would work if I was popular, but now the pandemic has turned us all into culinary wallflowers. That means social distancing severely limits the opportunity to cater events, and the owners have wisely rejiggered their business model to focus on a takeout service. How else could they survive shelter in place? I walk by quite frequently, so I've read th...

Yesterday, I attended a Celebration of Life event where these caterers provided an impressive array of finger foods, hors d'oeuvres, fruit trays, vegetables, and desserts. Everything was fantastic! During such a difficult time for the family, their professionalism truly stood out. The food not only tasted great but also offered a wonderful variety. Coordinating with a family member for the service was simple and the pricing was very reasonable. The customer service was top-notch as well. The crew made sure the plates were consistently replenished, and all the warm dishes remained hot. I would highly recommend them and would definitely use their services again in the future.

The Arlington catered our wedding last weekend, and we couldn't have been more pleased. They made it incredibly easy to coordinate all the details, from menu planning to the timeline and linens that matched our wedding palette. Many guests mentioned it was the best wedding food they had ever tasted, and we completely agree! The herb and almond-crusted salmon was outstanding, the chicken marsala with mushroom jus was delicious, and overall, we couldn't have been happier. Plus, everyone at the venue on the day of the event was exceptionally friendly. We are so grateful they were part of our special day!

The Arlington recently catered for my niece's wedding and before too much time went by I wanted to write a review to let them know that everything was perfect! Marc was our head chef and was very friendly, competent, and flexible with requests. His staff was incredibly helpful in helping us set up, and attentive and very friendly throughout the wedding. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The Arlington's staff are professionals through and through. Would highly recommend! Wish I had taken photos to share. Book a table now

We found the Arlington through our wedding venue (the Brazilian Room) for catering and could not have been happier with how our menu turned out! They were so collaborative and the food was excellent, our guests raved about it! We also appreciated how organized they were and how well they knew our venue. Mark and Trish helped us to know our event was in good hands! The catering staff made sure to take care of all of the guests and especially the bride groom and we had a total blast!

We chose The Arlington and their team, led by Marc, to cater our wedding at the Joaquin Miller Community Center. They were exceptionally helpful and communicative throughout the entire process, ensuring every detail of the menu was perfect.

The restaurant has really good food and a family friendly environment. They are also amazing caterers. The hummus is always a work of art. You’d be lucky to have them for your event! Book a table now
