My son and I started with an app of mozz sticks and they came out rather quickly which was nice. My son ordered the Jacks "buffet" burger with island fries and he loved it! I went with jacks Cuban and their house made coleslaw and I as well loved my food! We were so full we had no room to try the funnel cake fries but thinking next time we will start with those! This place is great has a lot of outdoor seating which is where we sat upstairs and everything was just great! If you haven't been here I say go for it!!

My friend and I had lunch at Blu Farm to Table on a Monday, and it turned out to be one of the…read morehighlights 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.

Where to start? Without overstating it, this is one of the best restaurants on the east coast. I've…read morelost 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!

It was like someone took a pail of water and threw it in a pot and added some potatoes and onions. Very little crabmeat. Taste was very bland. Reminded me of dirty dishwater. I order the 2 jumbo soft crabs and I guess they were out of them. Instead of telling me and checking to see if I wanted something else, I received 3 of the smallest soft crabs I have ever eaten. Fries were good but could have have more Old Bay on them. Corn tasted like it came from the same dishwater as the she crab soup. Hush puppies and sweet tea were the best two things about the entire meal. I believe my check came to $40 including a tip. Never once did someone come to check to see how everything was. Everything was served on plastic with paper liners, and you have to clean the table by yourself. The hotel I'm staying in recommended this restaurant and I would not eat there again

The staff was polite, but the service felt scattered and inconsistent. The Blue Crab Bisque was disappointing, as it contained numerous shell fragments. The French onion soup was unusual and not what I expected. The Caesar salad was lacking Parmesan cheese, and after a long wait for the dressing, it arrived tasting nothing like a traditional Caesar dressing. On a positive note, the Hemingway Cubano was quite good and was easily the highlight of the meal. Overall, the experience was mostly underwhelming. While there were a few bright spots, the food quality and service issues made it difficult to justify a return visit.

They have a nice selection of cocktails, many of which seem crafted to honor the local vibe. I had a cocktail containing a house distilled gin. Delicious. They also let my husband sample two of the house distilled gins before he ordered a gin and tonic. He was very happy. Kennedy, our friendly, knowledgeable server, brought out complimentary cornbread with brown butter/molasses butter and tomato soup shooters. Yum. They offer two- and three-course price fix menus, and for a few dollars more, you can make it a wine pairing. My husband did that, and I ordered off of the regular menu. His collard green salad was sensational! He couldn't stop raving about it even as he was finishing it up. His second course was filet mignon, and it was the most savory, tasty filet I've ever had! I had lemon risotto with asparagus and tomatoes - it was delicious as well. We were at the Hackney to celebrate closing on our house in Washington, and we made the perfect choice for a celebratory dinner. We will be back!

This isn't like us, but it was so good I didn't want to go elsewhere. Everything we ordered was phenomenal! The service was wonderful and it costs what you'd expect for a place like this. The soft shell crab and grits - holy cow!!! That's the best sauce (gravy?) that I've ever tasted! Although the banana pudding wasn't traditional, it was the bomb (sorry, but it's a great way to describe it). If you go, make a reservation or plan to go early or later.

They had places to charge our cell phones and we're happy to fill our water jugs and put them in their freezers for us. They were happy to mail some letters we had and offered to drive us to the store down the road when we asked where to buy some fruit. When we said no but thanks, they drove down to the store and bought us fruit and wouldn't take any money for it. The little boy Drake bought the fruit with his own money. He just said "pay it forward."

It doesn't look like much and I didn't expect very much but boy oh boy, I am now a regular after one visit. Lol I had a specialty burger that had the whole kitchen on it.

Had it with a side of sweet potato fries with an optional cinnamon sugar, YUM. I also had a cup of beans with sausage and cornbread and onion fritters. Kim, the owner, even gave me the pigtail. This is no run of the mill greasy spoon place. It has hometown feeling all over it.

Back Again -- and Still Blown Away!…read more Stopped in last night with five other guys as we made our way up "the ditch" to Falmouth, MA -- and once again, Spoon River delivered the unexpected magic that only Theresa and her team can provide in this hidden gem of a town. From the second we walked in, the vibe was warm and welcoming. Theresa greeted us like long-lost friends (with a hug on the way out too -- who does that anymore??), and our server Sam was spot-on: attentive, relaxed, and knew the menu like a pro. Now, the food. Oh man, the food. Fried Green Tomatoes: Showstopper. Perfectly crisp, full of flavor, and just the right tangy punch to kick things off. Main courses -- each one got rave reviews from our crew: * Pork Chop (2 of us): Juicy, thick, and packed with flavor. Honestly, I had ribeye envy once I tasted it! * Seared Ahi (2 of us): Beautifully done, fresh and flavorful with a gentle sear. * Filet: Cooked perfectly. Nothing else to say -- it just melted. * Ribeye (mine): Medium rare, spot-on, but yeah, I'll admit it... I'd order the pork chop next time We pulled two great bottles of wine from their Wine Room (so reasonable!) and ended with some bonus sips -- Blanton's bourbon, which took the evening to the next level. And the desserts? - Chocolate Brownie with Ice Cream: Rich, gooey, just what we wanted. - Cinnamon-Forward Carrot Cake: Moist, spicy-sweet, and totally worth saving room for. The whole experience felt like something you'd find in a big city -- only here, it's surrounded by local art, genuine hospitality, and a true sense of care. Final word? If you're anywhere near Belhaven, detour here. If you're coming up the ICW, make this your stop. And if you're lucky enough to chat with Theresa -- tell her we said hi, and we'll be back. Because we will. Thank you, Spoon River -- for once again reminding us how special a meal can be. #FoodieFind #HiddenGemEats #SouthernCuisine #FarmToTable #SmallTownBigFlavors #ChefOwned #LocallySourced #FoodThatWows #ICWAdventures #CruisingTheDitch #GreatLoopLife #BoatLife #MarinaEats #DockAndDine #BelhavenNC #VisitBelhaven #NCFoodie #HighlyRecommend #MustTry
