Blue Jay Bistro

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

Amazing service (was greeted and checked on by at least five different staff members) and delicious, diverse food options. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, except for in the bathrooms, as shown in the attached video. If I had drank one more glass of reisling (which tastes great here, by the way), I don't know what I would have done in this situation.

Pleasantly surprised by this little restaurant in Littleton. My husband and I came here to celebrate my birthday and we were blown away by the amazing staff, service, and delicious food. We will be back soon to enjoy the outdoor patio next time!

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!!!

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.

This place is excellent. The food is great. The service is great. It's an odd choice for such a high end restaurant in this sleepy little town but after talking to who I think is the manager, it sounds like the owner is really trying to improve this town. With this restaurant and the brewery(owned by the same person) its a step in the right direction. Littleton needs more places like this.

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.
