We enjoyed an elegant birthday dinner for a very dear friend and everything was just perfect. Had bread starter. Very unique and delicious! Two had airline chicken, one filet, one pork chop-all cooked to perfection! Drinks were perfect as well. Finished with donuts and berry bread pudding. Utterly magnificent! Service was attentive without hovering. Enjoyed meeting Evan, the GM and getting to see the rest of the establishment. You can request the different areas of the restaurant when making reservations. They have a beautiful other room for larger parties and a beautiful back patio with heaters. Quiet back bar area was fully seated at bar with game on yet so peaceful and quiet and almost stately for a bar. Definitely worth coming here regularly.

My buddy has a house on the lake and a bunch of us came into town for a boys’ weekend. We came here for dinner on a Saturday night in October. First off, we made the reservation very late after other plans fell through. They were VERY accommodating in getting us a table when things were winding down (8:30 was the reservation, and we were a few minutes late.)
The restaurant is actually pretty large, but because it was late, they were seating everyone near the bar/kitchen which makes sense. I’m sure they had already let some staff go because things were clearly quieting down, being off-season. Drinks came quick, and we ordered fast since we were all hungry.
Overall, the guys really liked the food. We all basically tried something different. One of the guys has a long list of allergies, and the staff had them write them down and the chef changed up what he ordered (it was duck) to make it work. He was super-happy with the result, which was excellent service. I had the short rib, which was perfectly cooked but had a bit too much bbq sauce, or something. Not my favorite, but another friend mowed his down, so maybe it’s just me.
The service was very friendly and down to earth. It’s a white tablecloth restaurant, but not pretentious. They serve beer from the brewery next door. That got mixed reviews, but its always nice to try different things. I would go back again, and probably will if we do this again sometime.

It is great to have such a nice restaurant in a small town,the atmosphere was perfect for our date night, you can be fancy or casual. The fillet was the best I have ever had. Be sure to have the chocolate donuts for dessert , be sure to ask for a spoon. The staff is very friendly and attentive. We definitely will go again!

Honestly one of the best meals I’ve had in Nc Delightfully surprised at the phenomenal dishes served here in the sleepy little town of Littleton.
The entire experience was wonderful from opening the front door to a beautiful long hallway that transports you to a very tasteful dining room.
Nothing in here is run of the mill. Every detail is unique down to the water glasses.
We had the signature blue bird toast and I highly recommend you try it at least once.
The oysters were some of the best I’ve had in my life. Perfectly flash fired.
The entrees and desserts blew us away.
The service from Katie and her trainer Ian were top notch. They were very Knowledgeable about the menu and made our experience wonderful. Even the water waiter from Smithfield struck up a great conversation with us. They made us feel at home.
We will definitely be back and I can’t sing the praises high enough. I grew up close to nyc and miss great food. This place is one of the best in Nc. Do not miss it.

Hidden farm to table restaurant just a little over an hour outside the triangle area-
Updating a review, we are big fans of Blue Jay. Have dined here both in 2022 + 2025 (recently). Chef Malcolm, Ryan, and their team members are incredibly passionate people in the industry. Each dish is beautifully presented and delivers tasteful unique flavor throughout each dish. Truly a dining experience worth the drive.

Food was excellent and good value for quality. Service could be improved on as no drink refills were offered and final check took too long to process. Interested in returning to see if this was just a one off issue.

The food and service is absolutely fabulous! This is one of the top restaurants we have ever eaten at. It’s on par with Lemaire at the Jefferson Hotel in Richmond, Virginia and Elizabeth’s on 37th in Savannah, Georgia. The dishes are intricately layered with delicious flavors and textures. Tyler was our server and he, along with anyone who came by our table, was absolutely delightful. My Birthday is coming up and I plan on celebrating here. Don’t wait, make a reservation! You won’t be disappointed ❤️

Visiting Blue Jay Bistro was easily the best dining experience I’ve had in my entire life. You’re greeted by the most welcoming staff the second you walk in the door, and they ensure your visit is nothing short of perfect throughout your meal. The food, words can’t properly describe how incredible every plate of food was. The short rib was a dish I’ll dream of ordering again for years to come. The chefs dedication to using only the best tasting local ingredients shows and is an honor to this small town community. If you haven’t stopped into this wonderful establishment then I encourage you to do so, you will love of every second of your visit

Went to the Blue Jay Bistro this evening and had a very enjoyable dining experience. Had the following:
Oysters Clara – exceptional starter I give it 10 out of 10. Great crunch and creamy texture, balanced flavors, great taste – hard for me to tell that I was eating an oyster – so for those looking for an oyster forward dish may not be what you are looking for – but outstanding for my taste would definitely get again, highly recommend.
Lobster & Masa Hushpuppies: Tasty and well balanced 8 out of 10. I am not the biggest hushpuppie fan overall – but nice starter.
Main course: The short rib was very, tender, rich, and tasty…the hash that came with it was quite excellent as well. 9 out of 10. If I had any critique would be a bit less cacao (chocolate dust). If you like beef short rib you will not be disappointed.
Desert: olive oil blood orange cake – I am not the biggest sweet fan, but I gotta hand it to the chef on this one 9.5 out of 10 beautiful presentation, tasty, complex, flavor explosion.
Service was excellent 9.5 out of 10 – perfect timing between courses, attentive service, great recommendations. Restaurant was packed so drinks took a tad long (but I am being super persnickety)
Summary – Honestly quite pleasantly surprised by how outstanding and enjoyable this dining experience was in Littleton, North Carolina. A bit blown away. Kudos, highly recommended for a special occasion or a date night. Next time we are nearby will definitely plan to come back!!!

Everything about our experience was perfect! The daily bread with bourbon butter was ridiculous. We had the salad with maple vinaigrette, the clam chowder, and the pork chop plate. Unbelievably delicious. Every single bite!
