Chef Billy was a delightful chef to work with. We hired him to cook us a four course Valentine’s Day meal for myself and my husband and he did not disappoint. He was easy to communicate with, wrote us an excellent menu, had a fair price, was punctual and polite. But the food was INCREDIBLE. We were both blown away. Every course was just delicious. We had: Crab stack with mango, avocado, tomato, cucumber, red onion, ginger lime dressing. He left us a WHOLE BOWL of king crab behind because he had extra. Seriously amazing. Salad with Kale, reb cabbage, Brussel sprouts, cosmic crisp apple, pumpkin seed, pecan, pomegranate, maple-lemon vinaigrette. This was the best salad I’ve ever had. Beef filet, thyme, rosemary rub, spiced pumpkin puree, blackberry red wine reduction, Brussel sprout leaves, radish slices. Every flavor came through. I especially loved the red wine reduction Spiced southern red velvet cake, fresh berries, mint, rosemary. And he brought my husband two gigantic dark chocolate dipped strawberries to accommodate his allergies! Both were amazing. My husband is both dairy free and gluten free and Chef Billy made it a point to make sure everything was customized for his allergies. He was so easy to work with. And on top of all of that, he left our kitchen SPOTLESS. Cleaner than it was when he arrived. We could not recommend Anita and Joes enough for whatever your event may be!
I want to add that he didn’t ask me to write this review, but he absolutely deserved it.

Truly a remarkable meal and experience - The food was delicious, fresh, and unique. We especially enjoyed the emphasis on local, farm-to-table flavors and ingredients! He knew where each ingredient that went into every dish was from. Extra thanks for accommodating some food allergies in the group!

Billy and his server were excellent. The dinner was very delicious and beautifully served. They also poured wine that we brought and plated the cake that we brought. They made it so easy to enjoy our memorial dinner.

Billy was very professional and responsive in our process to hire a Private Chef for a party of 12 for my husband's birthday. He clearly stood out in our selection and we couldn't be happier. Billy prepared a wonderful 5 course meal that exceeded our expectations. We are definitely planning to have Anita and Joe's again and highly recommend them!

We had a great experience with this company! This was our anniversary dinner and our night was intimate, quiet, and full of good food. He worked with our allergies in such a way that it never felt like we were working around them or they were an obstacle to a fantastic meal. Will definitely work with them again!
