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.
We chose Stanbury for our 40th anniversary dinner. It did not disappoint - menu was unique and imaginative, and this was one of a small number of places where every bite was terrific. Beyond that, the service was great , and the staff enthusiastically helped me deliver a surprise anniversary present for my wife. All in all, a terrific evening.
Best restaurant in Raleigh, one of a kind!

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.
