Ariston Floral Boutique

Loved their almond cookies, cappuccino and croissant. Beautiful atmosphere and additional sitting area upstairs. Beautiful flowers and peonies giving off their lovely scent everywhere 😍

Our company orders flowers from them twice a month, and we’ve never been disappointed. Their attention to detail is exceptional every time. Truly the best of the best!

I ordered flowers for a production event I was involved with from this flower shop and I have to say the flowers were ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! Just Gorgeous! I spoke to Theodore several times in regards of what we were looking for and he listened to our wants and needs and all arrangements were Stunning! Everyone raved over them and wanted their business card ! Theodore, Many thanks for your time and the absolutely Gorgeous arrangements.!

Gorgeous arrangements and service was kind and not rushed.

I got my sister tulips for Valentine’s but it’s not the most presentable wrapping. I expected more from a reputable store in the city. Hopefully other customers have prettier bouquets than what I unfortunately got! 😁 Happy Valentine’s day! 💗

Was able to get some flowers last minute right before they closed. The gentleman working there was very helpful and accommodating and hand selected this beautiful arrangement for me. My mom absolutely loved them. Thanks so much

Great variety of flowers and conveniently located right across from Grand Central Terminal. I was in a rush and the kind gentleman working there assisted me and created a custom bouquet just as I had imagined.

Great flowers and customer service!! The flowers were super fresh and very affordable. The location is clean and conveniently located near Grand Central, which is perfect for those buying flowers for your wife’s birthday (like I did) before heading home. Would recommend buying flowers from this store.

Flowers: 5/5 My all time favorite flower boutique in the city! It's conveniently located near Grand Central and they offer delivery. Their display room is pretty small but everything in there is gorgeous. My first arrangement was from Valentine's Day last year. The flowers were over two feet tall! Absolutely stunning! Every arrangement after was beautiful as well. These beauties looked and smelled wonderful. The flowers were very vibrant and fresh. They lasted pretty long too. Aristons does an amazing job at what they do!

I needed to get a bouquet for a family friend in NYC to honor his retirement, and since I HATE 1-800 flowers and its ilk I decided to find a local florist with classy, tasteful arrangements instead. Ariston seemed to fit the bill. I live in California, so I called to place the order. I obviously wasn't able to go into the store to look around at my options, and relied instead on the website. The person I spoke with on the phone was obnoxious when I had questions about the different types of arrangements. Why did I have questions, you ask...? Because this floral arrangement is for an older gentleman, and I honestly had no idea what to get him. He said he'd just ask the resident designer to put something together. Lovely. At this point I just wanted to get off the phone; so, because I didn't have a receipt, and because there's currently a blizzard in NY, and because vendors mess up orders all the time, I requested a confirmation of delivery. Totally reasonable, right? Wrong. He curtly replied that no, he would not have someone call me to confirm. And promptly hung up. Perhaps they are kinder to their customers on-site, but this transplanted native New Yorker will order flowers from elsewhere next time.

Absolutely fantastic!!! We have used Ariston for many occasions and every time they surpassed our expectations. Our guesses are stunned by the beautiful flowers and arrangements! The customer service is also on point as they listened to our ideas, added their touch and made them even better.

The least I can do is post a yelp review after I messed up and provided the wrong hotel name for a flower delivery. The business diligently handled multiple phone calls to clear up my mistake and then the manager personally delivered the flowers himself to the correct place. True professionals! And I'm told the flowers were beautiful, too. I will definitely be a repeat customer (and will triple check the delivery information in the future)!

I tried to select 5 stars (hope it comes through), but my iPad is showing only four. Ariston deserves 10 stars! I called them today from CT to order flowers for my daughter. It was 5pm, and Marlena graciously took my order & had the flowers delivered the same day! They were absolutely stunning! Orchids & purple roses! I've tried ordering flowers from a distance before & have been so disappointed. I'm going to upload the picture of the arrangement if I can. If you need flowers in NYC, look absoutely nowhere else but Ariston. This is my new "go to" florist!

Really amazing customer service and one of the most spectacular floral arrangements I've ever received, lasted for a long time too. Was delivered by hand to my office by the owner because I had used their shop before. Amazing all around!

The Grand Hyatt New York uses this florist for all of their events, and they always go above and beyond, delivering gorgeous arrangements on time every time. They even make miracles happen, like today, when my client decided she wanted 23 small arrangements delivered in 30 minutes. Sure enough, they showed up and they were beautiful. Thank you from the Hyatt,

I never really get flowers so I didn't know what I was doing, but I wanted to get my boss some for her birthday. The guy asked me how much I wanted to spend so I let him know, and then he asked what I wanted. I went to go peek in the glass case and I saw these pretty yellow/orange roses. Then I saw some bright flowers at the bottom. The guy told me there weren't really enough, but I wanted them anyway. My boss writes in neon dry erase markers a lot and I wanted the really bright, orange and pink pretty flowers. Other than that I asked him to just put what he thought went well together and he did an excellent job. He put it in a tall vase and took the time to put the leaves around the vase base, cut the flowers, and arrange them. Then he took green tissue paper and wrap to make sure I could carry them nicely. He put more plastic on top and tied it with some straw ribbon. I thought it looked beautiful and the flowers had such a nice scent. When my boss walked in her office, she said she's never gotten such pretty flowers on her bday before, so that made me feel good. I'd def be back in the future, especially because last time I was here the man gave me a free orchid after my former boss bought a few as gifts for some people. So nice! Made my day!

Ariston did my wedding 2 weeks ago and I felt compelled to write an unsolicited review. Theo and his family were amazing to work with. Constantly making themselves available to discuss arrangements and provide expertise to ensure I was getting the biggest bang for my buck. They went above and beyond delivering even more fullness and arrangements than was promised. Everything looked amazingggggg! I even had a wedding planner friend comment on what an incredible job they did and kept her guessing when it came to the cost - which was well below what she thought. Thanks to Ariston the florals on my wedding day were beyond anything I anticipated and helped to make it look like a million dollar wedding!

I love this place. It's around the corner from the church I'm getting married at and after creating a sample for our centerpieces and staying in our budget I am so far very impressed. It's a nice touch that they always send me home with a few free stems to smile about. Special thanks to Theo and these guys!

I have used Ariston for many years, often at short notice, and can always rely on them for gorgeous plants or the most stunning compositions and arrangements. They are a delight to work with and extremely professional, creative, and pleasant. Spiro there is my guy who provides the best service and is very helpful. Cannot recommend them more highly and for the fact that dealing with them is always smooth and seamless. They are well-priced too.

I am seriously dismayed by the negative reviews left around the same time (Valentines 2015). If I weren't there THAT DAY, I may have been swayed. But I was there. It actually WAS busy, and Spiro/Theo had several extra people helping out. The selection was immense, both pre-made and a la cart. In February, they had: Mimosa, peonies, hyacinths, tulips, double-tulips, french tulips, roses of all colors/stem lengths, orchids, white lilacs, purple lilacs... I can go on and on, just mentioned unusual stock for the season. Lilacs and peonies. IN FEBRUARY. Seriously, people. The store was stocked to the max, and BUSY. I CAN't help but wonder if a competitor opened up nearby and sent some hacks in for reviews. As for the packaging - it was an exceptionally cold day in NYC, and they were packaging everything to make sure the flowers survive. They know my address, so no biggy, but I heard them ask other customers how far they were going to wrap accordingly. A week in, and my own arrangements (picture posted on the day - one with the mimosa/peonies/tulips, one with the lilacs) still alive and well. No way the experiences could be this far apart. As I've said: I WAS THERE THAT DAY. And a quick sidenote: everyone was gushing about our flowers. I don't know - maybe I just know how to scan stock and tell them what I want, and others do not. It's not rocket science, it's flowers. One would think - particularly if you walk in - grown-ups have the skills to point at what they want. And not walk out of a store with something they don't like. Repeat after me: "No, this doesn't work for me, change it". Sheesh. You walk out of a store and take a picture of something you find unacceptable, rather than tell them to change it? Right. I believe you.

Wonderful! I ordered an arrangement for a friend and chose this florist because they are close to her apartment. I couldn't be more pleased--they delivered a lovely arrangement within 2 hours (on a Saturday.) I will definitely use them again.

Terrible. I got a bouquet from them today and I don't know who in their right mind would have put this ugly arrangement together. Don't go here it's a waste off money as their florists have no taste.

So glad this place is here! They were open early on Saturday morning and I was able to snag a beautiful bouquet for my aunt's birthday before hopping on the train up to Connecticut. Prompt and friendly service, reasonable price for high quality flowers. Will use again.

I work across the street and decided to try this florist for a arranagement for my girlfriend. I've now used them a few times as they do an amazing job. I judge a good florist by the recipients reactions and my girlfriend has always been so impressed. definitely a great place.

This place was SO helpful when I needed an arrangement last minute, the woman Bessie helped me and got me exactly what I needed, even sending me photos of options. I also needed them delivered early in the morning and she made sure they were here for me, it was amazing customer service. Will always use this place from now on!

These guys are down to earth, loyal and EXPERTS in what they do! They will make your wildest dreams come true, it's everything I wanted and more.. Thank you!

I was more than impressed with their handling of a difficult delivery situation . They are total professionals and will definitely use them for all my floral needs.

Great family run flower shop. Incredibly accommodating and make beautiful, fresh arrangements

This florist offers amazing flower arrangements and deciding which one to get is difficult. As a consequence, I bought more than I initially wanted. The quality of the flowers is outstanding and the arrangements are very creative. I bought a couple of Christmas decorations and they are all stylish, yet classic with a special touch. The sales person was incredibly nice and even threw in three complementary roses that now brighten up my office. Delivery was timely and uncomplicated. I can only recommend this florist.

This place does a great job! I work at a business near by and need to order arrangements a few times a month. They are consistently beautiful and well priced.

Don't hesitate to call Ariston if you want to send simply exquisite flowers in midtown Manhattan. They are amazing!!! This was the best floral experience I have ever had. I wanted to send a very special floral arrangement to my son and daughter-in-law for their third wedding anniversary. I checked out a lot of online websites before deciding on Ariston's Tower of Love arrangement. I was looking for a high-end florist that delivered real quality and I clearly made the best choice. My children said it was the most beautiful arrangement that they have ever received. The flowers looked like they were just picked from the garden and the design of the arrangement matched the picture on their website...really extraordinary! I placed the order by phone, asked them to make the arrangement a bit taller and that's exactly what they did. I live in Los Angeles and have a lot of family in the NY area. From now on, Ariston will be my first choice when I want to send really breathtaking flowers. They were wonderful!!!

I used Ariston for my baby shower couple weeks ago!And also my bridal shower.There flowers are beautiful!!! I have never seen flowers last so long and look so fresh!!!

I stopped in the shop and pointed them to their own website of the type of arrangement I was looking for. What arrived (for my partner) was a hideous "arrangement" that did not resemble in any way what I requested. It basically consisted of a selection of flowers at or past their sell-by date just stuck into a vase. Talentless and truly ugly -- for an absurd amount of money. A child could have done a better job. I seriously doubt they would be capable of doing anything shown on their website. Avoid. Avoid. Avoid.
