Stanbury - American restaurant in Raleigh - 938 N Blount St, USA

A hidden Raleigh gem in my book. Very cozy, romantic atmosphere that you don’t necessarily have to dress up for. The menu changes however the quail was a treat. I should’ve ordered two because, well, it’s a quail; it’s small. The sesame tart was worth its weight in gold. Outside and patio seating makes good for fair weather drinks and lounge.

One of our favorite places in Raleigh and the entire triangle area. Seasonal menu, fresh ingredients and one of the best steaks in town. Bar. Dessert. Small plate. Large plate. All excellent. What's interesting is the creativity for both vegetarian dishes and the use of items like sweet meats. Really, you can't go wrong here. Stanbury continues to be one of our favorite restaurants in the Triangle.

Amazing food in an unpretentious setting. The focus is on the food and the folks behind the bar are doing great too. Nobody is cooking better food in Raleigh at this price point. I genuinely love this restaurant. If I have a bad experience here I will modify my review but until that happens I’ll just keep adding pictures of the incredible food when I come back (every chance I get) when I remember to take pictures.

A place you wouldn’t expect to have one of the best meals of the year. No reservations. On a weekend, get there early to put your name on the list. You won’t regret it.

To start, we ordered the grilled swordfish was nice, and the sauce was really good, and I loved that the taste of the fish wasn't that strong. I had a hard time deciding what to order because I wasn't seduced by the menu, so I went with a safe option. The grilled porkchop was excellent and perfectly cooked and seasoned. The rice and broccolini substitution were perfect compliments to the meat. The strawberry buckle dessert was a perfectly balanced mix of flavors. I am very disappointed that they charge any amount of money for the bread and butter. All in all I feel very satisfied but the prices are steep.

I've heard great things about this place for as long as I can remember. I finally got to try it with my fiance and it completely exceeded our expectations. The food was phenomenal! The rotating menu concept is intriguing, and will definitely keep us coming back. The service was great as well, and very fast. Fun place for a date or an outing with friends. Everything we had was great for sharing.

This place is bomb! They have the best food around; you can't go wrong with ordering just about anything on the menu. Our waiter, Mark, did a fantastic job recommending a few dishes. The pork chop was our favorite. This place has a very cool and eclectic vibe inside, they do not take reservations so be ready to wait for a table. They do however have a bar near the host so that you can relax and have a drink while you wait for your table. We will be back!

The food and service are outstanding. The staff are some of the nicest people you'll meet. The food is very delicious. While you may be familiar with the food, you most likely never had it the way they prepared it. The only thing I wished was better was the wait time, which is understandable for special restaurants like this. If you are new to the restaurant and you plan on going, show up at 4:15 pm before they serve and put your name in with the hostess. From there, you can grab drinks and return at the specified time. They have a little outdoor area and serve some appetizers and drinks, but those seats fill up quickly.
