OKAY Our absolute favorite restaurant in North Carolina…. drum roll… Stanbury in Raleigh!!! Yes we drive two hours to enjoy this special place for our tastes! Small.. rustic.. cool vibe and opens at 5pm when there is typically 45 minutes to an hour wait and no reservations. But drinks and outdoor seating while you wait. Small plates are the speciality. We have tried lots of them and have zero complaints. Porcini Arancini just wow! Oysters on all three visits both raw and fried. The Fried oysters were unique with cucumber, daikon radish, carrot, spicy mayo, etc. WOW Wow. So many fun things to taste like Nashville Hot Fish Collars… what??? Corned Beef Tongue… what?? Pig cheeks..What?? Yes you get the message fun and delicious. The roasted Bone Marrow was interesting but the pork belly was so good we ordered a second round. This is a super high recommendation from Leslie and I.
