Best Lunch Restaurants in Blakeney

Went for brunch and had quite possibly some of the best food I’ve ever had in my life. Already planning to go back next month for a special occasion. The oeufs coquette was outstanding!!

I went for Valentine's Day prix fix dinner with my hubs. The dining room is just off the lobby of the lovely hotel and has a nice setting with artwork with scenes of NC . It's a small dining room, holding probably a total of 50 guests or less. The servers were competent and professional. The cocktail menu was pleasant, but thedrinks took longer than should have to arrive. Our Caesar Salads were fresh with a yummy dressing. We both had the Ribeye steak with asparagus and loaded mashed potatoes. The sides were delicious; the steak had a nice flavor and cooked to our liking, but quality of the steak was low with much grizzle and fat. The highlight of the meal was dessert, recommended by our waiter. A cherry and biscuit shortcake with a chocolate drizzle. It was like the most delicious cherry pie but layered with the most delicious biscuits. I would go back just for this. Overall, a good evening.

I recently dined at STIR Charlotte, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish! Our server, Noelle, was absolutely fantastic—attentive, knowledgeable, and made our evening even more enjoyable. We went on Valentine’s Day! The ambiance was trendy yet casual. We kicked off our meal with the Oysters Rockefeller, which were a perfect blend of flavors and a delightful start. For my main course, I chose the Halibut Piccata, and it was simply divine! The white wine, butter, capers, and farro paired beautifully with the roasted vegetables. My hubby ordered the Filet & House Goat Cheese Ravioli, and he couldn’t stop raving about the tender filet and the delicious pecan pesto. To top it all off, we enjoyed some amazing cocktails. My husband loved the Stir Old Fashioned and Whiskey Bramble, while I savored the Slack-Jawed Jezebel and Elderflower Sour—both were outstanding! Everything was exceptional—food, service, and cocktails. I wholeheartedly give STIR Charlotte a 5 out of 5! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience!

A truly great French restaurant, with excellent dishes and outstanding service. Dishes tried. Every one was outstanding: oysters, escargot, sea bass, duck confit, hanger steak, creme brûlée. Steak frites with hanger steak and Bearnaise sauce was cooked to perfection medium-rare. Duck confit with melted leeks and banyuls jus was terrific, and I make duck confit regularly. The restaurant has to be one of the most beautiful in the city with high-ceilings and decor that makes you feel you are in Paris. Service was as good as the food. The bartenders, server, and service/FOH manager went out of the way to accommodate a couple of requests.

Just had a killer night at Napa on Providence with a couple of friends. We snagged seats at the bar and dove into the harissa cauliflower, whipped goat cheese, and octopus. The harissa cauliflower had just the right kick, the whipped goat cheese with pickled beets and truffle honey was a creamy delight, and the octopus was tender and flavorful.  Our server, Gigi, was on point—super friendly and knew her stuff. The vibe was laid-back yet classy, making it a perfect spot to unwind. If you’re looking for a place with great food, drinks, and atmosphere, Napa on Providence is a solid choice.
