We have recently moved to Washington and taken several guests to brunch and dinner. We love the food, service and ambiance. The food is always fresh and the staff are professional and friendly. We look forward to dining at Blu Farm to Table again soon! Thank you! Gwen B. read more

My friend and I had lunch at Blu Farm to Table on a Monday, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our day in Little Washington. First, a shoutout to our server, Sarah. She was incredibly sweet and attentive. She seemed a little nervous at first, but she did a great job and made us feel very welcome throughout our meal. I ordered the Crispy Rice Tuna Salad, and it was excellent. The tuna was fresh, the combination of textures was fantastic, and the portion was much larger than I expected--I couldn't finish it. I also appreciated that the menu offered a good variety of choices, from lighter dishes to more indulgent options. The restaurant itself has a cozy, eclectic atmosphere with interesting décor that makes it feel like a hidden gem tucked away in downtown Washington. Add in the fact that they're open on Mondays when many nearby restaurants are closed, and Blu becomes an easy recommendation. I'll definitely return the next time I'm in town. read more

Where to start? Without overstating it, this is one of the best restaurants on the east coast. I've lost count of the number of high end chefs whose meals we have enjoyed around the world and I'm not joking when I say that I can count on one hand the places that I would say are better than Blu. After numerous trips I still can't put my finger on what exactly is done differently at Blu to outperform so many fantastic restaurants. It's as if they have somehow managed the flavors of a Michelin restaurant with plating that isn't so... boring and sterile. Portion sizes are more than adequate, none of that one taste nonsense here. The service is always fantastic, professional and friendly. The owner is occasionally willing to share recipes with you and has never disappointed me with a recommendation. The cocktails? Just "wow". Perhaps what makes this place so fabulous is that they manage to do so well in so many categories. I'll consider that more in depth next time I make a reservation which may just have to be today. Speaking of, if you don't make a reservation, don't be disappointed when you don't have a seat. This isn't a place you can always walk in and sit down. They don't have many tables and it's obvious that they aren't the type of place to sit more people than they can take care of. Take some time, enjoy a drink and one of the best meals you'll have in the area. You won't regret it! read more

FANTASTIC!! We ordered the "Tins board" the presentation and accompanying items, crusty homemade bread, cheese, homemade pickled veggies, and so much more! And the homemade pasta, with sooo many grilled local vegetables was DELICIOUS!! Accompanied by warm bread! Definable one of the best meals we have had in downtown Washington! Service was also impeccable!! We will definitely be coming back!!! read more

I'm so glad we have this place another chance! The food was delicious and unique. The servers were great, but there were still only two servers, so it was slow at times. Not annoyingly so, though. They had live music which had the perfect vibe and was not too loud. I love the hand drawn cocktail menu! Clearly, the owner is very creative. read more

Had a delightful mother-son lunch at this new restaurant! We sat in the back dining room in a comfortable seat with a view into the kitchen. Numerous wine bottles were on display around the kitchen window. These are exquisite bottles globally sourced. Blu has a "Wine Wednesday" event worth attending where you can sample some of their wines and receive a discount on bottles. The upstairs terrace was full, meaning it's a popular hangout spot. The quieter indoor space was more conducive to conversation. Jenna and her team of servers did a good job. She brought our food as it came out of the kitchen. Blu serves generous portions so we happily took half our meals home. Definitely interested in their wine hour and happy hours at their bar & lounge. read more

A great rooftop restaurant is more than just a place to eat--it's an experience that blends good views, impeccable flavors, and a wonderful ambiance that comes with some creature comforts. This is Blu Farm To Table. Blu Farm to Table is a wonderland where vegetables have VIP status, and every dish tells the story of its journey from dirt to deliciousness, but here the menu is a mystery and you will only know when you go. Although I only ventured through a few small plates, everything was not only delicious, every bite carries the freshness of ingredients that haven't spent weeks in transit. Get here on the right night for that full-sensory experience, where every element blends seamlessly into a night you won't forget. phenomenal food, dangerously good drinks, and the music? Well, let's just say you won't be leaving until the last song fades into the night. Cheers! read more

Wow! What can I say?! Every trip to NC we make a trip to Washington to eat at Blu Farm To Table! Our favorite restaurant in NC. Must stop and enjoy. We ordered three entrees! Honey Hot Chicken and Waffles; Blu Shrimp and Grits and the Breakfast Burger! All three were to die for! read more

Let me start by saying the staff was super nice and the view from the upstairs rooftop deck was lovely. We had high hopes for dinner but if I am being honest it was a solid B-. My husband had the shrimp curry which he liked and he said the strawberry vinaigrette on his salad was great. I had chicken piccata which was pretty bland except for the lemon. The meat wasn't seasoned well and I didn't see any capers in sight. It was on a bed of pasta which wasn't sauced so pretty dry to eat. The roasted broccoli was good. The restaurant did seem to be short staffed as several tables were left with dirty dishes well after guests had left which takes away from the ambiance for other diners. I really wanted to love this place. The building was cute and well done but the food has a way to go. read more

We were heading to Williamsburg Va and stopped in for Brunch. I started with a Bloody Mary, one of us ordered a local red ale and the girls split a bottle of Cabernet. The guys ordered the Blu Crab Bennie (eggs Benedict) one with hollandaise on the side the girls split the smash burger. There was a piano player singing and adding to ambiance. The server was friendly and knowledgeable. The Bloody Mary was awesome with a capital A!!!! The local red ale was excellent. The food was delicious!!!! Absolutely a must hit spot for Sunday Brunch!!!! Christian was our server: just a superb job, great personality. read more

We came here the night of our engagement around 8pm and were turned away because we were told they "don't serve after 8:15" due to a new seating policy. That was disappointing, but we decided to give them another chance for Sunday brunch. Unfortunately, the experience was just as unwelcoming. We were told there was a large reservation coming in and that with only two cooks, it would be at least a 30-minute wait. That's completely understandable--but instead of offering us options (like sitting at the bar or outside), the staff repeatedly emphasized the long wait time in a way that made it feel like they didn't want us there. We were willing to wait, but the overall tone and lack of effort to accommodate us made it clear we weren't welcome. Really disappointing, especially given the special occasion. read more

Awesome find. Even though they had a limited lunch menu, the choices were fabulous. Great and friendly service. Love the vibe of the place.

Really cool restaurant with excellent lunch. Wait staff were prompt and polite. Ambiance is eclectic. We sat where we could see the chef and the kitchen. Clean and efficient. Had the best burger I can remember and the Bloody Mary was excellent. We will come back for dinner! Go there! read more

Dined on a Saturday and called ahead and made a reservation, specifically asking for both back. Arrived and us along with two other couples were waiting outside. The door was locked, so we thought. After 15 after opening I knocked on door, staff came to door. I asked if they were open and he said yes, although no customers were inside and no one outside had been helped. Then I was told the door was unlocked just very hard to open. Okay - so I gave our name and mentioned I called ahead for reservation. Then I was asked if I wanted to sit up on roof, I was walking with a cane, going upstairs was not an option, a service focused server should realize this. Then we were told, just pick a table you'd like. Then I asked, do you have any tables with a back, or a booth? So we got to a table with a back that faced the kitchen window where orders are picked up. Ordered appetizers wild mushrooms and bread. I asked what mushrooms they had and was told, a trio but didn't know the kind. These mushrooms came swimming in butter and oil and mushrooms so chewy really NOT enjoyable. Along with mushrooms we were given toasted cheap wheat sliced Bread from Costco. The soup we ordered was more cream than ingredients also, so we boxed up both soup and appetizers to bring home and make something else with them. We ordered a surf and turf dish, requesting MR filet and it came so blue/raw it turned us off and sadly fish SO chewy we couldn't even cut with a steak knife. Now I am wondering why the owner is the chef. So I ordered a burger instead. They would not remove the cost of the surf and turf because the chef was "willing" to toss meat back on grill. They missed they point of the experience. So for me, hospitality was a fail, food a real miss, and farm To table has never been so disappointing. They have a bar and a view- go for those and dine somewhere else. read more

Came back after some time! Still love this place and their ever changing menu! Service was awesome, the food came out fast and hot, it was perfect for a quick lunch! The place was beautifully decorated and the bathrooms were so unique! Will definitely return in the summer for the rooftop seating! read more

What a small but beautiful restaurant! Offering inside and outside seating close to water. This restaurant offers farm to table meals so the menu is ever changing, We arrived when they were offering brunch. The menu had something for everyone, just about. I will note there was no kid menu - so that might be a deal breaker for some. We decided on a few dishes, my favorite was the mushroom omelette! It was very flavorful and delicious. The chicken and biscuits were spicy but with good flavor. I look forward to going back and trying different combinations. For now, enjoy the photos! read more

We will never go here again and you shouldn't either. My wife didn't like her food and not only did the manager refuse to take it off the bill, he berated her at the table and called HER rude because she wouldn't agree that she should eat the food anyway. read more

Had a horrible experience at Blu. Waited an hour for our lunch, the wine we ordered never arrived, water glasses left empty. My Thai shrimp salad was terrible. The shrimp was mushy and the salad was warm/hot, (as described in the menu) also mushy and tasted nothing Thai at all. It was gross. I also ordered a dumpling soup which consisted of a think mushroom sauce & fried soggy dumplings, no broth. The server never came to check on us and still nothing to drink. We finally asked for the check & I asked for compansation for my meal. At which point the manager came to the table & started asking questions, why we wanted a a discount, did I read the menu, how many bites I took & what I do at home when I don't like the food I cook? Completely berating me. I told it was fine I'd pay and asked him to step away so we could pay the check and leave. Nope, he stayed and continued to harass me, questioning me & said I was now being rude to him, which I wasn't, I was calm & polite. Others at our table asked him to leave also but he stood there starting to raise his voice, all in a crowed dining area. We were told the owner of Blu also said no to any compensation for the food. The worst dining experience I have EVER had. Just unbelievable the lack of professionalism and customer service. read more

In a nutshell, underwhelming. You can tell this is a new place, as there seem to be kinks they are working out, but given the reviews written they look to be on a downslope. The seating isn't very comfortable, and I question the ability to put 5 or 6 at the tables that were set that way. Nor could I imagine sitting on that couch between other people. It's a small space so think, intimate atmosphere. The service was fair. While the server was very kind and helpful, he wasn't... attentive. Given the price point, I was surprised how infrequently we saw him. There was live music when we were there, and the musician was super friendly, with the table next to us ending up having a wonderful conversation with him, and he was amazing talking them through The menu was VERY limited. And I was surprised how average the food was given the price point. I know Sunday brunch is bougie, but a watery vegetable frittata was unimpressive. I actually thought, "I could take this home and cook it more so it's not runny." I ask you, should you ever make that statement at a restaurant? Coffee options were limited. French press coffee but no latte or flavor options. Sadness given the upscale billing. You enter through the back of the building, and the parking is odd. It's more than a little off putting to walk by the dumpster before you enter a restaurant. I like what they're aiming for, but I'm leaving disappointed. Maybe on a non rainy day the rooftop is open and you can enjoy the view and relax, but without that this place is better left unvisited. read more

Our visit started out well and our food arrived fairly quickly. Waitress took our food to the wrong table but she did offer to have my salad remade. My husband saw what happened and told me no one touched my plate so I opted to keep the food. Once I started eating the salad I realized it was missing the chick peas. The waitress said she would check on it but didn't come back until I had finished the salad. The kitchen forgot the chick peas but she still offered to bring me a dish of them. I replied I didn't want to eat just a bowl of chick peas since my salad was now gone & I would pass. She was nice but seemed a little too busy since there were several tables on the rooftop on a nice spring day. We had to try a few times to get her attention for water refills and to process our bill. I was a little disappointed. My husband enjoyed his smoked salmon sandwich but felt his side dish of kale pasta salad was on the small side. We did enjoy our cocktails. We were also interested in dessert but it wasn't offered and we just received the check so we just paid and left. With the high cost of everything these days our lunch was $68 before tip, 2 cocktails, a salad and a sandwich. read more

Terrible experience! Table was not ready when we arrived for our party's reservation. The service was horrible. We kept hearing the excuse, "We only have one waiter for the entire restaurant." We had to get our own drinks at the bar after waiting 45 minutes. It took 2 hours (YES 2 HOURS) to get our food and then it was all wrong. Food was mediocre. The whole experience took over 3 hours for lunch. They incorrectly charged us twice for food. Upon making the reservation I informed them it was a special occasion, the staff did not acknowledge nor was anything special done. I chose this restaurant because the website made it look so inviting and delicious. I would not recommend Blu Farm to Table to anyone! Disappointed, upset, and embarrassed that we chose this restaurant to bring our out-of-town guests to for such a special occasion. read more

We stumbled upon this gem by complete happenstance. Location, ambiance, staff, cocktails, and food were all absolutely perfect. We all had an amazing dinner. What I didn't photograph were our delicious appetizers and cocktails as well. Best shrimp and grits I've ever eaten, and I've had them in soooo many places. Will return if back in the area. Highly endorse!!!! read more

The ambiance was great, it felt warm, inviting, the server was great, helpful and attentive. The food was bad. We had overcooked tuna, charred beef tenderloin that was undercooked (so it had an acrid burnt flavor and was bloody at medium rare). The food looked great, just was poorly prepared and we couldn't eat most of it. Maybe it's just growing pains for a newer restaurant, but it was very disappointing to pay that much for a meal so underwhelming. read more

First thing, the entrance is on the water side not the street side. Second, make reservations for brunch. Third, enjoy! Cocktails are good, and the food was delicious. We had the lobster french toast and the breakfast empanadas and both were great. read more

Great food I got the lobster BLT I would rate it a 9/10. The cocktail I got was the "v card" I was not expecting this drink to that spicy lol. If you like spicy things that is the perfect drink for you. The spice in not overpowering at all just the right amount. I would rate this an overall 9.5/10. Great customer service. Oh and also sit outside and enjoy the view of the waterfront. Don't second guess grab some lunch here! read more

We happen to have lunch on a Monday, rare for any restaurant to be open and appreciated. First visit for me and we lucked out, it was Mushroom Monday, had the grilled cheese/mushroom sandwich ((local mushrooms) excellent. Don't miss the side of Cucumber salad, over the top like nothing you have ever tasted before, a party in your mouth, literally! House made chips, thin and crispy, exactly as they should be. Can't wait to visit again, Wednesday is on the agenda for half off wine as I understand it through our waitress. Having been in the wine business for many years, would love to see more variety of wines, particularity from small production wineries however, this doesn't mean the wine list is lacking in general. Admittedly, I am picky. Food and good wine is a pair made to bring out the best in each other! Their unique food screams for unique wine! Service: Faith, was very knowledgeable not only about their food but the area. Great service! Would love to know if there is a Chef that works alongside toVicki?! read more

On the days the store is open next to Blu it's great, while you wait you can shop and always find something as a gift or for yourself like the balsamic vinegars they carry.

Good, but there were some issues, limited menu, nice wine. Lovely view, and good service.

LOVE everything about this beautiful place!! Rachel was our server and she was more than fabulous during our first visit to the restaurant. She enthusiastically accommodated our kids and was so personable. She believed in the concept of the restaurant and she was genuinely happy we were happy. The whole team worked together really well. I love the farm to table concept and the style the owner has chosen. She flawlessly delivered! Every detail was thoughtful and gorgeous- sophisticated but approachable. The food was better than amazing - very flavorful, fresh, creative and beautifully presented. The sparkling Sauvignon Blanc is my new favorite and since their menu changes often, will be very excited to keep trying new options too! Will go back again and again!! Edited to add: We have returned to this restaurant and shop numerous times since this first review. The owner is exceptional- friendly, accommodating and passionate about providing quality to Washington. We have had nothing but good experiences here and I love that they have multiple places for you to sit and enjoy a meal or drink, even though it's relatively small space. The menu constantly changes so we get something new and fresh each time we visit. This place is an absolute gem - all around! read more

12 Women from River Dunes drove an hour to have our Women's Christmas Luncheon at this lovely restaurant today. The ambiance of the entire restaurant and store was so beautiful and fun. The long table they'd set up for us with a gorgeous natural arrangement of pine limbs, pine cones, Christmas touches, and a spoon of artsy magic..... was over the top. Each place setting had a candy cane, assortment of Christmas candy, and a festive paper straw.... It was so thoughtfully laid out with great care to details. Our waiter, DK, was phenomenal. He was on task, so kind, checked on us regularly, and sweet as could be. Everyone enjoyed their delicious lunch and mixed drinks. Plus they have gluten free options. It was the best all around experience. I highly recommend checking it out!!! A happy customer, LeAnne Miller read more

Blu Farm To Table - Seafood Roll (Lobster and Crab on buttered roll) - New American Near Me - Washington, North Carolina

Labor Day decided to take a drive over to Washington and grab a brunch/lunch and visit this historic little town. We searched Yelp and found this place which appears to just have opened, and it sounded intriguing. We were seated upstairs out on the terrace and had a really nice view of the river. The terrace, however must sit on top of the air conditioning unit for the building, and while the noise wasn't noticeable, there was a vibration which you could feel throughout the entire meal. It did shut off a few times, and the running joke we had with the table next to us was that we needed to drop some more quarters into the hotel bed massager. That's basically what it felt like. Anyway, that really wasn't the main reason for the poor rating. It basically boiled down to service and the food prep. After being seated, we placed our drink order. 2 mimosas. It was not crowded but it took them nearly 20 minutes to deliver our drinks. That seemed excessive to us. We also put an order in for one of their 'shared' starters - roasted red pepper hummus with veggies and roasted cauliflower. I only wish I had remembered to grab a photo of it, but what was delivered to our table (after a 25 minute wait) was a very large plate with 4 cauliflower florets and roughly 6-8 extremely thinly sliced slivers of peppers. I would imagine if I had pieced together all of the slices, I MIGHT have had about a 1/4 of a pepper. It was very sad. I mean I'm not looking for a meal but if you're going to list something as shareable, well it better amount to something more than that. In fairness to Blu - they sensed immediately the disappointment and sent out a second plate, but it really wasn't any more that the first plate we received. Ok but wow. On to our main course... We both ordered the shrimp po-boy. First thing noticed when the plate was delivered was that the shrimp was supposed to be tossed in a house sauce. As you can see from the photo - no sauce. I'm not sure how that makes it out of the kitchen - but alas - we had to request that they correct the problem. They brought us little dishes with the sauce which we had to pour onto our shrimp. Portion wise - the sandwich wasn't all that filling - bread was phenomenal tho - but afterwards we were both still hungry. So back to the 'shared' starter selections. This time we went with the cucumber salad (also pictured). My dining partner thought it was too sweet. Personally I thought it was good. Only issue - again, not nearly enough to consider it shareable. So in conclusion - this place is new and it was clear to me that it still has quite a bit of things to figure out. The service was slow, the shared appetizers are not shareable, the main course, incomplete. I'm pretty sure I would pass on this place if given another chance - at least until they iron out a few of their wrinkles. Could be a 4 star, but for now, too many issues so a 3 feels about right read more

Visiting from Seattle and enjoyed a lunch at this restaurant. (Actually ducked in because it started pouring as we were walking along the boardwalk). Impressed! I ordered the soft shell crab on a croissant, my friend got the watermelon salad with shrimp and the girls both got tuna. The presentation was beautiful. Each plate looked great, only to be outdone by the flavors. My buddy is building a house a few minutes walk from there, anticipate heading back to this find every time we visit. read more

Had lunch with my DIL here today. I highly recommend trying this place out. I'm they do seasonal farm to table so the menu will change. I had the chicken salad sandwich and she had the tuna sandwich. Both were excellent. The bread was super tasty and the meats were seasoned perfectly. Also, the warm potato salad appetizer was yummy. Our waiter, Gerardo was so attentive. Just make sure to park in back. If you park on Main in front you need to walk around the building to get to the restaurant entrance. read more
