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.

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.

Our party of 10, 8 adults and 2 children had a great experience. The food and drinks were wonderful. They were very accommodating considering they don’t have high chairs or a kids menu. We brought our own high chairs and it worked out fine. I specifically want to highlight Evan. He was wonderful and great to our kids.
