Excellent service and food quality! We had cocktails and a light appetizer while waiting for a table. Then once seated, the two of us ordered: three small plates, one large plate, and a dessert all to share. The timing was perfect. Each item came out separately, with an appropriate pause in between. We were not rushed or overwhelmed. Staff was very attentive without ever being anywhere close to overbearing.
I’ve never gone to eat small plates at a restaurant and loved every single one. Stanbury did that. Every. Single. One. Insanely good dishes and innovative flavors, drinks were spot on, and the vibes were fantastic. Beyond worth it.
Seriously amazing every time. We try to get there right with they open to get in but even if not, the wait is always worth it. Everything we have tried has been fresh and delicious and I love that the menu is constantly changing. This is our go to special date night place!

Stanbury in Raleigh is a favorite among foodies, known for their fresh seafood and perfectly balanced flavors. The rotating menu features standouts like bone marrow, oysters minuet, and a delicious steak served with a mole/bbq sauce. The atmosphere is lively and fun, making it a great place to gather with friends. The restaurant offers interesting and sophisticated options, with good service and a vibrant vibe. The outdoor seating provides a lovely ambiance, complemented by tasty cocktails and delightful bites like blue fin crudo, coquettes, marrow, and seasonal desserts. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, often providing excellent wine recommendations, especially from their wine expert. Since they do not accept reservations, arriving early is advised to avoid a wait, which is worth it for the high-quality dishes and overall experience. The menu is very fresh and local, changing seasonally to feature the best ingredients available, making each visit a special occasion. The quality of the food, such as gorgonzola cheese with honey and strawberries, fish with baby potatoes, and a mouthwatering steak, makes up for the smaller portions. The fish is often the star of the show, and sides enhance every bite. Guests enjoy dishes like oysters already dressed, marrow with greens, and the halva rice Krispie for dessert, though some find the latter just okay. Drinks are decent, with favorites like the last word. The restaurant can be a little smoky from the kitchen, and inside seating can be loud. Overall, many find Stanbury to be one of the best dining experiences in Raleigh, perfect for a special but relaxed night out.
