Marc and team catered our wedding at the Brazilian Room, and we were extremely happy with both the planning process and the food/support on the day itself. The Arlington team are clearly pros at working in the Brazilian room - and had everything set up quickly and efficiently day-of - even though we had a shorter evening slot. The food was very good (especially the grilled salmon and pesto pasta) - everyone went back for seconds and we got many compliments! Marc was transparent and easy to work with throughout, and we thought pricing was reasonable compared to other vendors we looked at. Would highly recommend!!

We hired The Arlington to cater our 80+ person wedding in Piedmont this summer and cannot more highly recommend Marc and his team. From the first time we spoke with Marc, we were impressed with his expertise, helpfulness, and responsiveness. He and his team pulled together a delicious meal within our budget that met the many dietary restrictions of our guests and was enjoyed by all. In the lead-up to our wedding, Marc was responsive, thoughtful, and even took time out of his schedule to join us for a walk-through at our venue. Our event went off without a hitch because of the organization and professionalism of Marc and his team. It was a joy working with The Arlington, and we highly recommend their catering services.

We hired Marc and his staff for catering our wedding that was held at the Joaquin Miller Community Center. He was really helpful and communicative at all stages from the tasting to the wedding day. In addition, his staff were professional and accommodating. The food was delicious, and our guests were really impressed, especially with the poached salmon. We were very happy with our decision to work with The Arlington!

We used The Arlington for catering our wedding of around 140 guests. Marc and his team were absolutely wonderful. Leading up to our event, the communication was excellent. Marc was very accommodating and helpful. On the day of, the staff members were all so kind and professional. The food was also amazing! Multiple of our guests told us it was the best meal they had ever had at a wedding. We are so glad we chose The Arlington for our wedding and wholeheartedly recommend them!

The Arlington catered our wedding last weekend and we couldn't have been more thrilled. They were really easy to work with in coordinating all of the details -- from the menu planning to the timeline to the linens in keeping with the palette of our wedding -- and everyone kept saying it was the best wedding food that they had had (we happened to agree!). The herb and almond crusted salmon was to die for, the chicken marsala and mushroom jus were delish, and we just couldn't have been happier (not to mention everyone at the venue the day of were nice as can be). We're so glad they were part of our special day!

We had our wedding at The Fern Cottage in El Sobrante May 21, 2023 and I couldn't be happier with the outstanding service we received from Marc and his crew! They are certainly a "full service" operation! I just dropped off all my boxed up decorations, signage, extra items I wanted with notes on everything, and the crew set up everything while I was away getting my hair done. I didn't have to worry about a thing! At the end of the reception, again everything was packed back up for me to take home, so I didn't have to worry about a thing except relax. Everyone was a pleasure to have at my wedding and they all took care of my guests in the upmost professional way. Thank you Marc and all of your great crew!

We had an 85 person corporate event at the Brazil room on May 8th, 2023. Marc and His team were AMAZING! Marc helped make recommendations for our team's food restrictions to make sure everyone had something to eat. They were kind, helpful, easy to work with, reasonably priced, flexible and the food was DELICIOUS! I highly recommend them!

From our event on 03/03/23. Writing my first review here because it's merited. We had planned to host an engagement dinner for 80 guests, and had to scramble quickly as our original catering plans were scrapped. Since we had to work through EBParks we found The Arlington. They were great in accommodating our wants and needs while being very friendly with our budget. They were also very communicative, and being our first catered event they even gave us some advice for keeping costs budget friendly. Everyone at the party loved both our main dishes and the appetizers that were provided. We couldn't have been happier with the service we received from the crew and we thank you for helping host our special night together! Everyone on the staff was extremely welcoming and greeted us warmly from the start. We are definitely looking forward to host with them for all our future gatherings and we cannot recommend them enough.

The best cafe in town! Good staff and good surroundings.
We hired Marc and his crew to cater my dad's memorial at the Brazilian Room in Jan 2023. On a day that was very emotional for me and my family, they helped run the event very smoothly. Their catering prices were reasonable. They set up the space well. We served heavy appetizers, drinks and desserts and I got a lot of compliments on the food. Marc was flexible and communicated clearly with us in the weeks leading up to the event. I would work with them again for catering.

Yesterday at a Celebration of Life, these guys catered a mostly finger food, hors d'oeuvres, fruit tray, veggies, desserts. IT WAS FANTASTIC. At such a sad time for the family, they were very professional, the food was fantastic along with a variety. Talking with a family member setting up the service was easy very reasonably priced and again just very professional customer service. The crew kept the plates loaded the warm food was warm. I would highly recommend and use them again in the future.
