Jujube - Clegg

Today, I had the pleasure of attending Jujube's exquisite 5 Course Dinner, a celebration of summer's freshest ingredients. The menu, expertly crafted by Jujube's Head Chef Nadia, was accompanied by perfectly paired wines, vermouths, and sake that elevated the dining experience to new heights. Chef Nadia's talent for pairing food and wine was truly impressive, and each dish left a lasting impression on my palate. The attention to detail and care that went into creating each course was evident, and I found myself transported to different parts of the world with every bite. Despite being her debut as Head Chef, Chef Nadia showcased a level of skill and creativity that rivaled many Michelin-starred restaurants. Her commitment to providing the ultimate food experience was apparent in every aspect of the meal. The seamless harmony between the food and wine, coupled with impeccable service, made for a dining experience that exceeded all expectations. Each dish left me craving more, and I could feel the passion and dedication that went into preparing every bite. In all my culinary adventures since moving to the Triangle from Washington DC, this has been the standout experience. Chef Nadia's talent and the overall excellence of the meal have set a new standard for fine dining in the area. I have no doubt that Chef Nadia will soon be recognized among the culinary greats, and I feel fortunate to have experienced her talent firsthand.

Our server was excellent. Attentive and friendly. We are Gluten Free and the appetizer options were diverse and flavorful. I highly recommend the Calamari and the Oyster mushroom coconut curry soup.

Mother's Day dinner definitely overpriced. $100+ mandatory 20% tip for 2 pcs of dumpling, 1 pc wonton, 1 Vietnamese salad roll, 2 pcs Brussel sprouts, 1 main course, 1 small dessert and 2 drinks. Gain $120 lost a customer

The food for our tasting menu was superbly organized and prepared, from amuse bouche (fresh oysters with mignonette sauce), to dessert (peach and asian pear). In the middle was cold cucumber soup with basil-infused oil, then the main of waygu short ribs accompanied with roasted tiger shrimp. Everything well seasoned, elegantly presented. Each course featured a different wine that was perfectly matched with food. I could not give our experience a higher rating.

Jujube was fantastic as usual. I've been a long time patron here, but it never fails to impress. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable, food was delicious, and the atmosphere was great. Highly recommend!
