Chef Billy was a delightful chef to work with. We hired him to cook us a four course Valentine's…read moreDay 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.

Our standouts this week were the saag paneer, quiche and apple crumble pie. So yum!

I hired Chef Jay for my husband's 35 birthday party (18 people). This is the first time I've hired…read morea personal chef and didn't know what to expect, what to ask, what it would cost, etc. I spoke with Chef Jay on the phone first, around mid-December, and talked about what I wanted. He was very honest and straight forward, which I liked. He gave me a exact quote over the phone and didn't pressure me to use his service. (The quote was very reasonable and within my expectation.) We continued to communicate over email the next few weeks leading up to the party. Chef presented the four-course buffet menu to me and we only made one small change to the dessert item. He also suggested the wine pairings and told me what he would cover (plates, napkins, flatware) and what I needed to rent (glasses, linens). On the day of the party, he was punctual with his arrival time. He was very professional, friendly, and answered any questions we had. He was very transparent and shared cooking method, ingredients, etc. All of our guests could come up to him, ask him any questions, and he took the time to answer them all. Once the dinner started, Chef did a menu walk-through with our guests and talked about the wine pairings. Throughout the night and the dinner service, he was very autonomous and very discrete. He never interrupted the meal or stopped me from entertaining my guests. He also cleared plates as guests finished their meals. As I had to play hostess, I forgot to grab my dessert and Chef Jay made sure that I wasn't forgotten. He served me the dessert to save me a trip, which I thought was very sweet. On the topic of food, everything was fantastic. The food was cooked well, seasoned well, and portioned correctly. He made a chocolate dessert and when he talked about it, he called it a simplistic, humble dessert. He really downplayed the awesomeness of the chocolate brownie!!! If you use him, make sure you ask for this dessert! My husband is a big chocolate dessert fan. We dine out a lot and get chocolate dessert wherever we go. My husband said this was probably the best dessert he ever had. He was excited that we some leftovers brownies. The feedback I received about Chef Jay, the party, and the in-home, private chef experience were all positive. Once the party was over, my husband could not stop talking about how great the food was, how professional the Chef is, and what a great time he had. Our guests kept asking me how I found the Chef (I found him through Yelp) and they didn't know such service existed. They thought it was a really unique experience. Chef Jay left my kitchen the way he found it - clean and tidy. I would hire Chef Jay again and again. You'd do yourself a favor by hiring the Chef!

It is so nice to have guest come to our house and have someone else wait on us. All I have to do is have wine and a clean kitchen and he does the rest, he even brings his own dishes to serve the food on. He will also pair beer and wine to every dinner, he makes it so easy. When our dinner is done, my kitchen is spotless. It is so nice to have a fantastic 5 star dinner in your home while my child is sleeping, between the child care costs and dinner you actually save money be having Jay come and cook for you.
