    French 75
    Donnie Mac M.

    We had Sunday brunch here during a visit to UNC. We sat outside, which as nice, even with the rain. The inside was bustling and a big loud, plus the AC was pretty cold, so the patio was fine. The service was very "Parisian"--they left you alone but were there when you needed a server. The omelettes were divine. We had the "supreme" which is off the menu but is a combo of ham and mushrooms. The eggs were silky and the potatoes on the side err smashed fried potatoes with caramelized onions. My son had the gnocchi which was quite good. The morning bun was the hit, though, and a must-get when you go. The have a pretty impressive bar program, too. I had a French 75 (since it's a French restaurant, seemed like the call) which had Theo house made pea-lavender syrup. It was excellent! Delicious, strong coffee too.

    I'm very late with this review, so the menu might have changed since we were here, but I can guarantee that it will still be an amazing experience if you come to Bluebird for brunch! The four of us came for a nice brunch and ordered the following: Kouign Amann (Morning Bun) Fruits de Saison (Seasonal Fruit) Pain Perdu (Brioche French Toast) Oeufs Aux Truffles (Black Truffle Scrambled Eggs with crispy potatoes) Omelette Jambon (Ham & Cheese Omelette with crispy potatoes) Everything was delicious and service was great. My personal favorite was the Oeufs Aux Truffles - if you're a fan of truffle, definitely get this!

    I had an appointment in the area and decided to explore the town for some eats. I saw this was a super popular restaurant in the area with great reviews and I completely understand why after visiting. The staff was super friendly and nice. They genuinely seemed to love working there and their energy made my bar experience that much better The food was out of this world. The Tartare de Boeuf was delicious. The beef tasted so fresh and went well with the crostinis. But the Confit de Canard easily stole the show. The skin on the duck was so crispy and added a nice crunch to every bite. The duck itself was also so tender which made each bite that much more satisfying. I've never had mandarins with a protein meal before but it somehow compliments the duck and sauce perfectly.

    My husband and I enjoyed a lovely dinner at Bluebird recently. The weather was perfect and we decided to dine outside, although the inside ambience is lovely. I chose the salmon entree which was cooked to perfection. My husband went with the gnocchi and French onion soup, and thoroughly enjoyed both. Highly recommend for an upscale local dining experience.

    We wanted to find a special place to celebrate my wife's birthday whilst visiting our daughter in Chapel Hill. From service to presentation to taste, Bluebird was excellent French cuisine. Full bar. Nice wine list. Highly recommend.

    Another wonderful dinner and service at Bluebird. Our favorite person, Alex, was our server again and he always brings the great recommendations, good chat, and laughs. We went around 5:45pm for dinner and our food came out quickly, but we never felt rushed. Tried a lot of new food items and everything was outstanding as usual. The oysters were fresh and paired perfectly with their champagne mignonette and a fresh squeeze of lemon. The trout was buttery and melt in your mouth. The sauce and veggies created a harmonious dish filled with a balance of salt and acid. The roast chicken was some of the most tender chicken I've had recently. I loved the creamy mash and having all the components of the dish in one bite was perfection. I was honestly surprised at how much I enjoyed this seemingly simple dish. I was REALLY blown away by the pork dish. I usually don't enjoy pork as much, but tried some anyways, and I am so glad I did. It was incredibly juicy and well-seasoned.. didn't even need the sauce (although it was a lovely addition). The polenta was well-cooked and crispy on the outside. It was just okay on its own, but the sauce took it up a notch. The steak frites was great-- cooked medium rare and seasoned perfectly. Also, it was a nice thick piece. The horseradish was milder than I had anticipated, but was a nice bite all together. The fries were nice and crispy-- there were just a lot of them and some of them were a tad salty. The dessert was pretty good- a tad dry, so I could have used a lot more of the blueberry compote and whipped cream. The crunchy almonds were the best part. Also, would definitely be elevated by a vanilla bean ice cream. Always an amazing time at Bluebird and I look forward to my next visit!

    I don't know why it took me so long to come here. It's fabulous. Service was very friendly and helpful. Interior was very adorable with white and black tile floors and decor to match. The open kitchen was gorgeous and seemed to be very well run. Food was tops. Everything cooked to perfection. Not a single complaint. Will definitely come back.

    Bright,clean and a bit on the noisy side on a brunch Sunday. Food is very good. Service less attentive than other places. Will definitely return for an evening experience.

    I hosted a dinner party here in their private room. The food was exceptional... everything that delicious! I liked that their tasting menu wasn't filled with stuff I can make at home.. we got oysters, short rib, flourless chocolate cake, delicious soups, and so much more. The service was somehow even better than the food! All our food came out quickly, on time, and like a well oiled machine. Our server was so kind, funny, and bright. I forget her name (sorry!) overall a really exceptional dining experience that I would recommend over and over again!

    Kate and me.  Big smiles.

    Birthday Dinner at Bluebird At Bluebird we gathered, a birthday to cheer, With my wife and two friends, bringing joy and good cheer. A table for four, under soft evening light, For a feast full of flavors and hearts feeling right. We started with fries--gold and crisp to the touch, And a cheese board that pleased us a little too much. Brie, cheddar, and gouda, with grapes in between, A beginning so tasty, it felt quite serene. Then came the mains, oh what a parade! Two salmon fillets so perfectly laid, A roasted duck rich with a deep, sultry tone, And boeuf bourguignon slow-cooked to the bone. With sips all around--what a fine liquid score! Two whiskey sours, an IPA, and a Pinot Noir. Each glass raised in laughter, each toast a delight, As the candles burned low into shimmering night. Then dessert made its entrance, the final sweet cue: Lemon almond cake and two cookie cake cubes. So simple, so sweet, every bite such a thrill, The kind of indulgence that gives you a chill. Yum yum yum when you dine with your chums, With laughter and stories and full-bellied hums. But one star shone brightest, a clear standout spark, Waitress Ericka--now that's service with heart. Competent, confident, cordial and keen, A guiding delight, like a birthday-time queen. If Bluebird's a haven, she's part of its song-- I'd vote to name the whole restaurant 'Ericka' before long! So here's to good food, good friends, and fine cheer, At Bluebird, where birthdays are brilliant each year.

    Their food quality is not "consistent", they are better and better. Do not take it as a grant. Because most restaurants in the area are worse and worse.

    This restaurant is a must go. The service is top notch. Definitely a great spot for a date night. The highlight of the night was the escargot, it was delicious.

We started with the beef tartare, which was absolutely delicious, along with the bread and butter. The butter was so flavorful that it deserves a special mention on its own! For our entrées, we had the chicken cordon bleu and the steak frites. Both dishes were perfectly executed. The flavors were beautifully balanced, with nothing overpowering the other, allowing each ingredient to shine. To finish, we ordered the crème brûlée, and it was divine. It wasn't overly sweet--just smooth, creamy, and perfectly balanced. The service made the experience even more memorable. Our waiter, Red, was incredibly kind, professional, and welcoming. He was attentive without being intrusive, answered all of our questions, and made us feel genuinely cared for throughout the evening. I can't recommend Jolie enough. Every part of the experience--from the food and ambiance to the exceptional service--was outstanding. We would come back in a heartbeat. After dining here, it's easy to understand why Jolie has earned Michelin recognition. It wouldn't surprise me at all if they receive a Michelin star in the near future.
