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.
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.
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.
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!!!
