We had an exceptional dining experience with Bleu Olive in their private room to celebrate after our elopement ceremony. The food was excellent as always and the service made us feel special and welcome. It was so nice to be tucked away from the rest of the restaurant while still having attentive service for our large party. It was a memorable dinner!

Excellent service, beautiful created Mediterranean dishes, but a bit on the pricey side.

One of our favorite spots in Durham. Octopus and calamari appetizers are delicious, probably on our top 3 in this area. Partner really enjoyed the lamb burger and the paella was also great. The lemon creme brûlée was fantastic, perfect amount of lemon and sugar caramelization. Will be back soon!

Ordered to go, food was cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious. Within walking distance from my hotel. I plan on returning hoping to dine in next time.

It was my first time exploring Bleu Olive in Durham, North Carolina, and I fell in love with the food. The service staff recommended the octopus dish, and they were absolutely right. I also chose the lamb, and it was the best decision I ever made—I ate every piece on the plate. The flavors were outstanding.
However, the service was not as impressive. I felt uneasy with the server's attitude; he was a bit too Almighty. It might have been partly my hearing issue, but I believe that good customer service should make you feel welcomed. Despite this, the night wasn't bad overall. The server gave a great recommendation for the octopus, and I left a good tip.

Absolutely fantastic food and service. We got the scallops, halibut, mussels and cheesecake. Would recommend them all.

Bleu Olive was a fun place for the 5 of us to enjoy talking about our day while having a family dinner. Everything was delicious and the only ding was we had to ask for bread after our dinner was served and what they brought was one small slice for each of us (5 small slices). They never asked if we wanted anymore and TBH it’s something an alert server should monitor. I could have asked for more but that is like asking for more water.. .you should not have to in a place of this caliber.

Our entire experience was great. We were met by a friendly staff and some of the best Mediterranean food we’ve ever had- stuffed grape leaves served on tzatziki, farro island salmon served with polenta cakes and roasted carrots, red snapper special served over orzo with capers and spinach. The Greek red wine blend was a new experience and taste profile. We closed out our experience with a piece of pistachio crusted goat Milk cheesecake … we departed to our Airstream to discover a serious tire issue and the staff was kind enough to allow us to overnight in their parking lot. Thank you all!
