Bleu Olive

We have been twice now and absolutely love the food at Bleu Olive. We had the exact same thing both visits. We started with the mixed dip appetizer. Those housemade crostinis are freaking perfect. There are four dips and all are delicious but our favorite is the red pepper/feta mix. Out entrees are the salmon dish and shrimp with pasta. The salmon is grilled and served over polenta and roasted root veggies with a beet relish and a green sauce similar to chimichurri. The combination of flavors is soooo perfect. The shrimp is over pasta and veggies with a light tomato sauce and it's scrumptious as well. Our server, Lila, was sweet and efficient.

Same excellent server roxane as 4 years ago! Ordered the same food as last time. Dolmades same recipe as four years ago but the saltiness annoyed my husband. Both if us have had better-tasting dolmades elsewhere.Didnt enjoy my beet salad this time. The beets tasted almost pickled. Some of the arugula was yellow (fresh arugula is green). The goat cheese seemed odd in texture. The pan seared salmon was ok and fresh. My husband said his salmon was overcooked.The creme brulee was tasty but my hysband thought the crust was burnt. I ate the lighter-looking parts of the crust. No reason to return here.

If you're looking for a great dining experience with delicious food, this is the place for you. The restaurant is clean, the customer service is excellent, and there's plenty of parking available. I highly recommend trying the lamb burger and the crispy, perfectly seasoned homemade fries. Overall, it was a fantastic experience with amazing food.

I love their Mediterranean shrimp and the SALADS are great too!.The octopus is perfect. Try Bleu Olive, it's wonderful.

Noting extraordinary here, just decent Greek fare. Avgolemeno lacked lemon flavor which is kind of the point. Meze was OK nothing to complain about but nothing that was notable. The fish was bland at best and lacked any greek inspiration or flavors. Again, nothing to hate but nothing to come back for.

Celebrated hubby birthday. The food was magnificent and the servings were plenty. The server was friendly as well.

When we recently went to Durham, NC, we were expecting BBQ, grits and all kind of Southern cooking, but a great Greek restaurant?!? We were thrilled to find @bleuolivedurham - a true hidden gem in the South. @bleuolivedurham is located in a strip mall area with an upscale interior. The service was fantastic but the food had us recommending this spot to all the locals! We orderedGrilled octopusDip Medley with babaganoush, hummus, tzatziki and roasted red pepper dip served with warm pita Swordfish Mushroom PastaPot de Creme Trio with dark, milk and white chocolate The food was so so good that we were tempted to skip the rest of our weekend festivities to come back for more! Thank you @bleuolivedurham for bringing the Mediterranean to the South!

I had a business dinner at Bleu Olive, and it was surprisingly the best meal I had in a while. I'd recommend Bleu Olive if you're looking for a nicer meal at a pretty reasonable price. Mezze: - tasting of spreads: good to share for a group, 4 dips with warm pita, cucumber, and crostini- fried calamari: I usually love this dish, I think maybe skip it here, heavy breading, not a standout Salad: Beets with goat cheese, arugula, fennel, lemon sesame vinaigrette. I was on the fence about getting this, and it was actually one of the best parts about the meal! Big, juicy, fresh chunks bed of beets, a layer of goat cheese, then arugula, sparse fennel on top, with vinaigrette drizzled on the perimeter. The presentation is so nice, good portion, and the flavors complement each other well. Honey glazed lamb loin: perfectly cooked to medium. Meat was so tender and not dry, broccolini was crunchy, mushroom orzo flavorful. So satisfying. Dessert - goat cheese & honey cheesecake: recommended by waiter and SO good. Rich, cute presentation with whipped cream, fruit, mint leaf, relatively thick crushed pistachio base- chocolate tart: dense, hint of orange, also good but the cheesecake was better Service: Our waiter was professional and no problems orders. The restaurant was busy, but the wait for the food was very reasonable. The space: Nicely decorated with some wreaths and Christmas tree for the holidays. You can see part of the kitchen counter where food comes out, but can't see most of the cooking process. Medium-sized restaurant. Busy during a weeknight dinner, so do consider reservations. Lots of free parking, and that's always a plus.

Bleu Olive has been around for a long long time. So maybe it's not the first place you think if when you want a lunch that is delicious, presented beautifully, and arrives so fast you can scoot right back to work (if you are still going in to an office). The menu is Greek (think lamb in pita with tzatziki ) with some crowd pleasers (like chicken salad which you can order by the 1/2 on the crispiest whole wheat toast and get a side of avgolemeno soup). Tables outside for this great Fall weather and stellar service.

I booked online but I arrived couple minutes late because that place really hard to find parking spots. One of my friends already went there but they didn't enter us some reason then when I arrived there made us to wait more then 30mins and set the table next to the restroom. It was my friend's birthday they ruined all our lunch. Food was ok but service was so terrible and owner attitude was so mean.
