   Another great dining experience! The Big Mac Tartar was amazing and a always the Hams and Jams was over the top! I had the pork chops (cooked perfectly with a masala style barbecue sauce- so good) and my husband had the salmon (another winner). We finishedit off with the Mexican Hot Chocolate dessert (I wish I hadn't agreed to share...). Service as always was phenomenal.

   I gave a gift card to my daughter & son-in-law. They are ‘foodies’ & I was a little nervous. The moment they returned from Blue Jay Bistro, I was showered in hugs, kisses & the most excellent review I have EVER heard! The food, the staff, the ambience… it was overwhelming! Now I can sit back and relax…stop worrying about what gift to give them, no matter the occasion! Thank you for taking a load off me!!!

   The appetizers were good and so were the desserts. The entrees were disappointing! the chicken confit was very dry! We have been there several times and enjoyed it so took a friend from out of town and my husband for his birthday. It was not the usual standard of cuisine! It also took over an hour to get our entrees.

   We are never disappointed when we dine at Blue Jay Bistro. The food is out of this world but what makes them stand out is the service. Everyone goes out of their way to ensure you have the best possible experience. The last time we were there we had the hanger steak and scallops. Both were melt-in-your-mouth yummy. We don't normally do dessert but the Campfire S'mores is so unique and tasty! If you want to be treated like royalty for a night go to Blue Jay Bistro!!!

    This was our second time back, first time was shortly after they they opened, and quality and service has not decreased! A bit pricy… but honestly 100% worth it! This should be anyone’s go to spot for that special occasion in the Lake Gaston area!

    Service was excellent. Chicken fried oysters, excellent! Beef was too tough. Three scallops for $40, very pricey. Deserts were good. Presentation was excellent.

    What a wonderful addition to dining at Lake Gaston. Would have been excellent in Asheville, Charlotte, Raleigh or any city in NC. The fact that it’s in Littleton is such an unexpected surprise.

    Nick and the team at Blue Jay truly take care of every patron. I’m always impressed and happy to see all the staff. And it’s especially nice to have such an establishment in a traditionally economically depressed area of the state. Great job folks! Preston McElheney

    Excellent in all fronts. Wonderful setting, easy parking, extensive selection of wines, and absolutely excellent food. I had stated I have a couple of allergies when I reserved. A few hours prior to the reservation time, I received a call to get additional information so that they would be prepared and have ample selection for me. The entire staff aware of my allergies and that my order would not cause any problems! Outstanding!

    Another great meal! We order the country ham & cheddar biscuits and the beet masa gnocchi for appetizers. Fantastic! I had the pork chop and my husband had the flounder. Both dishes and accompaniments we wonderful. We finished it off with the mascarpone cheesecake - so delicious (we've had this dessert 3 times and it's our favorite). Can't wait to go back!

    We’ve enjoyed this restaurant since it opened. The food is innovative, prepared from fresh seasonal ingredients and always tasty. The service is friendly and efficient. We have enjoyed many restaurants around the country, some in well known foodie cities, this one ranks as one of our favorites. The only reason I gave the food 4 stars last night was our desserts were not as amazing as we’ve had there in the past. However, the lobster bisque was one of the best I’ve ever tasted!

    From the moment we walked in the door, we knew The Blue Jay Bistro was special. Our booth was roomy and yet, intimate and quiet. All of the staff were polished and excellent ... never fussy, but there when we needed something. And the food ... delicious! The Chef has a way of creating meals mixed with interesting flavors and delicate finishings. Just enough flair without being boastful. I definitely plan to tell everyone I know to go and of course, I'll return very soon.

    I can’t wait to go back to Blue Jay Bistro. What a beautiful restaurant with three distinct areas to enjoy. We were in the conservatory and it was beautiful and quiet enough for us to be able to hear everyone at our table easily. Our server, Belle, was spot on with everything. She was knowledgeable of the menu and wines, attentive with beverage refills and checking to see if we needed anything and very friendly without being intrusive. I highly recommend the hams and jams and the oyster appetizer but the highlight of the meal was the mascarpone cheesecake. Next visit the only thing I would change is to sit outside and enjoy the lights and fire pit.
