I went on a Sunday to celebrate a birthday. The Jazz was nice. The shrimp basket was the best. I wasn't a fan of the brisket tacos. I think the toppings would have been better on a fish taco. Drinks and devil eggs were good. The bartender/hostess/waitress was good to us.

I have been to Blue Note several.times over the years and have always had a good experience. The outside area has changed over time and is now enclosed and has a roof. It's always a great place to find live music. For food I always get rins, pork or brisket. The veggies are a good option as well. This trip I got the brisket tacos and deviled eggs. I live the twist of the jalenpeno and Texas Pete give the deviled eggs. The brisket is cooked very well... tender and moist. I love the tacos and how all the flavors merge. 1/2 price bottle of wine on Thursday. Service is always good and friendly. Definitely a place to visit.

I’ve come to this restaurant multiple times throughout the year and have never had a problem until this visit. The first issue started when we told the staff that we wanted to be seated inside, but they kept pushing us to sit outside. We had a baby with us, and the heat was too much, so sitting outdoors wasn’t a good option. When we were finally seated, we were placed in an isolated area with no scenery, which wasn’t ideal. Next, I saw the “Alaskan Wild Wings” on the menu and assumed they were chicken wings. I quickly realized they were fish instead. When I asked about it, it felt like the staff wanted to argue rather than simply clarify the misunderstanding. when it came to the food we ordered the brisket sliders, and the meat looked very dry . I have nothing bad to say about our waitress with the pink hair—she was kind and did her best. Unfortunately, the owner was very disrespectful. She approached us with an attitude and said, “Y’all are complaining about everything. We can’t even make y’all happy.” That comment was completely unprofessional and made us feel unwelcome instead of trying to resolve our concerns. I’ve always enjoyed coming here, which makes this experience even more disappointing. Hopefully, customer service improves because no guest should be spoken to that way.

Stopped by the Blue Note Grill the other night for the first time. This is an incredible place.
The vibe is great as is the food. Drinks are cold and I even got to meet the owner who was very welcoming to me and my friends.
Stuck around for some live music. People dancing, singing, smiling and having fun.
Pretty cool. Will definitely be back. -
Cutis Salgato was a truly amazing entertainer with his band all performing amazingly well on his vibe, as well. The owner was friendly and checked in with his customers. The food and drinks and service were impeccable- simply must come back to this amazing spot in Durham!
