Artichoke

Working with Dara and her team at Artichoke and company for my wedding reception was fabulous! She helped with making the menu when I told her what we were thinking and she was a great resource for good vendors in the area since I was planning a destination wedding and did not live in the area. The food was incredible and the staff was friendly and willing to help out with whatever we needed. 10/10 recommend working with them, can't say enough good things about them. Ps. The grilled peach salad and bourbon baked beans were to die for!

I wish I could rate this more than 5 stars! Artichoke was amazing to work with from start to finish. They handled my bridal shower, rehearsal dinner, and wedding. Everything was seamless! We did not want a traditional sit down dinner for our wedding and had many live food stations for dinner and dessert. It was a ton of food and everyone keeps raving about it.

The presentation, service, and quality was superb. Not only did Artichoke take care of all of the food and drinks, but they assisted in rentals of bathrooms, generators, and many other items. They assisted from start to finish in the coordination of our day and pulled it off without missing a beat. We had so many moving parts and I could not imagine working with any other company. Dara, Riley, and Brenden are responsive and amazing to work with! Look no further when planning your dream event.

The restaurant was not open as advertised at 9 am. Someone was inside but ignored us at the front door. We left a few minutes after 9am and went to eat elsewhere. The owner responded to me that they are a catering company, not a restaurant. However, out front are 3 huge white flags that advertise they are now open for Sunday brunch. Their website still, at this time, states that they are now open for Sunday brunch from 9 am to 1pm. It also says reservations can be made and walk ins are welcome. You need to update your advertising so it is accurate.

Our experience with Artichoke and Co. far exceeded our expectations. My daughter and I worked with Dara for menu selection as well as very detailed wedding planning and the final timeline. They have a tremendous selection of rentals which facilitated turning our daughter's wedding into a magical evening on the beach. Dara is organized, detail oriented, energetic and committed to her clients.

It was such a pleasure to work with her. KayLee and the entire staff worked diligently and were fabulous on her wedding day. The food was delicious and the service was outstanding! We give them a 10/10.

I can not say enough about this company. I'm a recent bride. Dara and the artichoke team is amazing to work with! If you are looking for someone to take your vision and make it a reality call them! They are extremely accommodating, handle all details from food to wedding planning. We had the most special day and could not have done it without artichoke.

The food is delicious and the staff was wonderful. They aren't your typical cookie cutter catering they are the real deal! We had our wedding at shangri la for the ceremony and then headed to artichoke venue. Dara was there to help with and ceremony and then stayed with us till the end. Artichokes venue was clean, beautiful and supplied all tables, chairs, linen, food, bar, etc. we will definitely be using artichoke again. Thank you

My husband and I are both vegan and hosted our backyard wedding at our beach house. We wanted a caterer that could do good, quality food but plant based (which was extremely difficult to find here in FL!). Artichoke and Company did just that and went above and beyond. The food was delicious and they even made us some to-go appetizers to enjoy on our sunset cruise. They showed up promptly to set up and were very attentive to guests while they were here. Would recommend!

We used Artichoke & Company for our Wedding at Shangri-La in Bonita Springs On October 1st, 2021. Dara was always so responsive and helpful. She and her team were even able to set-up all of our decorations that we provided to them. The morning of our wedding, we had on and off again rain showers. Dara kept all of us up to speed on what the plan was and if we had to go to a plan B. Luckily we were able to have our event as planned. Dara's serving staff were the friendliest bunch of people.

Always willing to help and made our guests feel taken care of. Even a month later we are still getting praises from our guests about how great the food was. I would definitely recommend them for any event big or small.

We went to a wedding that Artichoke and Company catered and ran and it was delicious as well as impeccably run! All of the staff was kind and helpful and the food was amazing. Great guest experience and the bride and groom were incandescently happy all night. The next day we attended a Sunday brunch at their location and it was delicious with an amazing singer. My husband can't stop talking about the French toast bake.

We just got married at Shangri-La Springs and used Artichoke & Co. for catering, decor, and planning/coordination. I can't thank Dara and her team enough for bringing my perfect wedding vision to life. She was always available when I had a question or wanted to meet and made everything so easy. If there was something I wanted, she made it happen. Her attention to detail and wonderful team made the planning process stress free.

We have not stopped receiving compliments about how beautiful our day was and how awesome the food was. While I got ready with my bridesmaids and the moms, Dara set up lunch and mimosas for us. We also had a great brunch the day after our wedding at Artichoke & Co. It was a nice place to catch up with guests before they left and the food and entertainment were fantastic. I highly highly recommend Dara and her team if you're planning a wedding or other event.

Dara and her company did an amazing job turning my wedding into the most perfect day! Not only did Dara step in without hesitation to help my mom with anything she needed but she also made sure everything went according to plan with ease. I did not have to worry at all which every bride knows can be very hard. She made sure everything was set out and in place and even went above and beyond and added a few items to elevate the vibe.

She is a 10 out of 10! Not to mention the food was beyond amazing! Artichoke was very reasonable and easy to work with. One thing they don't skimp out on is the quality of their food. Hats go off to the chef! My guest raved about the food even days after. The staff was on top of everything! They made sure that we had food and drinks waiting for us!

The bartenders were a hit! They made everyone feel like family! My guest loved them! Overall we can't thank Dara and her company for giving us the best night possible! I highly recommend their catering and Dara's expertise to every bride who is looking. You will not be disappointed. Thank you for a wonderful night!

They did a few parties for my dads company and they were absolute perfection! From a casual BBQ to a formal dinner party they can really do it all. The service is spectacular and the food is top notch. His high end clients were more than impressed with the food & how professional the staff was. I definitely recommend them for your special occasions. Can't wait to use them again soon! Thank you Kaylee, for all of help and for being so responsive throughout the whole process.

Unbeatable service! Every experience i have had with Artichoke has been nothing short of amazing. The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable, and their food is on another level! I signed my daughter up for their cooking camp and she absolutely loved it. She learned a lot and the experience made her willing to try all kinds of new foods! Highly recommend *5/5*

I cannot share enough positive things about my experience with Artichoke and Company! They completely exceeded all expectations and went above and beyond for my baby shower. The food was absolutely amazing (tasting and presentation). The staff was so helpful and communicative. I sincerely enjoyed my experience and will use them for any future events. Highly recommend!
