The Blue Taj formally opens for dinner Feb. 8 at Ballantyne Village (where Vesuvio once was). Sibling to Copper in Dilworth, this will offer eclectic cuisine, says owner Apar Singh Pannu, with a menu by consultant chef Mel Oza. Some examples of dishes: chimichurri-rubbed chicken with a Provencal-style bean stew; Szechuan-inspired seafood medley with Oriental vegetables; and duck and mushroom taquitos with housemade pastry. Says Oza: “Think Wolfgang Puck. Elegant…. Rather than calling it multi-cuisine, we call it eclectic, meaning we’ll have things inspired by Thailand, inspired by Provence… not fusion, but more.” Lunch weekdays will begin a week or so later; dinner will be served nightly. 14815 Ballantyne Village Way at Ballantyne Village; 704-369-5777.

More overpriced dogfood! Will they ever learn!!
Dogfood?! You rednecks would know all about that...
I had dinner here this past Tuesday evening (2/16/2010) and it was amazing. One of the best meals I've had in the past several years. Excellent service, terrific atmosphere, and the food... It was incredible. The menu was creative, eclectic, and unique and the piece of salmon I received was large, perfectly cooked, and absolutely delicious. I will definitely be back.
