Jujube - Clegg

I attended the Summer Harvest wine dinner last night and it was incredible! Each dish was thoughtfully curated with an amazing wine pairing to match. It was a wonderful experience for a summer night. The dinner began with peach tree oysters with a cucumber mignonette. The next course was goat cheese and peach dumplings followed up with a cucumber soup as a palate cleanser. The main entree was phenomenal and hands down, the absolutely BEST Wagyu short rib I have ever had in my life. It was well marbleized and melt in your mouth tender. I am still dreaming about it! The sweet potato purée with the black tiger shrimp was heavenly! Lastly, the peach sponge cake was the perfect ending to an exceptional culinary experience. It was a delightful pleasure to enjoy the foods of Chef Nadia! The owner, Suzie, also welcomed each guest with a beautiful smile and open arms. Thank you, Chef Nadia for a great night!

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.

It has been a while since we had been to Jujube, typically going to the sister restaurant JuJu in Durham. We were quickly reminded how much we enjoyed Jujube, being kindly welcomed when we entered by the manager. We ordered dumplings, Brussels, oysters, Arancini and their bolognese and couldn't have been more pleased. Highly recommend!

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!
