STIR is the perfect restaurant to enjoy a night out, host clients, or sip a craft cocktail over a dozen oysters. Located in North Hills, the restaurant is an open-air concept with a large, heated outdoor patio. We are open for lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch.

Our cold bar and kitchen offers fresh oysters from North Carolina and beyond, traditional Mexican and Peruvian ceviche, and classic entrees and specials, all prepared from scratch.

STIR is famous for craft cocktails. We freeze and carve 300-pound blocks of artisanal ice in-house, age certain cocktails in oak barrels for richer flavors, and place others on draft for crispness and carbonation.
The result is a categorically elevated cocktail. Our passion for fine spirits also compels us to find and share rare bottles, many of which are extremely difficult to procure.

We welcome Raleigh to enjoy our unmatched cocktails, fresh seafood from the cold bar, and classic dishes in an atmosphere of genuine hospitality.

    Our entire experience was top notch!. Our table ordered several different craft cocktails and we loved them all! Probably one of the best margaritas I have ever had. The Oysters were phenomenal, the salmon dish was beautifully presented and delicious, and the center cut filet was melt in your mouth goodness! My husband ordered the burger and gave it a 10 out of 10 rating. Our server was very attentive, knowledgeable and we could tell that she truly enjoyed people. She really made sure we had a wonderful dining experience and surprised my son at the end of the meal with a complimentary birthday cheesecake dessert. A great night celebrating a special occasion. We will definitely be back!!

    By far the best brunch in the area! Love the complimentary appetizers (why is that coffee cake so good?!) and there’s such a great variety of options. My go-to is the Charleston omelette…YUM! I don’t even like home fries but theirs are phenomenal.

    We eat at Stir often and really enjoy the food. Last night I decided to try something new and ordered the Vegan Poke Bowl. I had a few bites and was enjoying it until I bit into something really really spicy. For a person who can’t handle spice, my mouth and lips were on fire. My husband is fine with spice and tried some of my entree and agreed it was very spicy. We looked at the item I ordered on the menu and it did not mention anything about spicy! The manager (?) stopped by to see how everything was and we asked if the miso dressing was spicy and he said no it was the sweet potato shreds. The manager brought me another bottle of water to quench the burn in my mouth. Just a suggestion….. maybe change the description on the menu to mention sweet potatoes contain spice! I will try something else next time! My husband had the chicken picatta and it was delicious!

    Definitely overhyped- ambiance was very nice but besides that a mediocre experience at best. Service was extremely slow we came in at 4pm and there were barely any other customers and didn't get our entrees until being there almost 2 hours. Our server was extremely nice- I'm thinking they were just understaffed in servers and kitchen staff. Food also was nothing special and overpriced. Seafood didn't appear good quality mine smelled very fishy. Drinks were also nothing special considering one of their main specialties are craft cocktails

    We celebrated our anniversary with a Sunday night dinner at STIR. Our appetizers which included the crab soup and the fried green tomatoes came out lukewarm. My husband ordered the grouper and said it was delicious. I ordered the veggie burger and it was very good. I substituted the regular fries with the parmesan truffle fries, which was a great choice. For dessert, we tried the pumpkin cheesecake, which was delicious and a refreshing seasonal treat.

    Rene was a fantastic server - always there when you needed her and helpful with menu selections. The seafood tower was something else - everything was perfectly prepared. Highly recommend sharing that with several people. Drinks were good and there are reasonably priced menu options but we didn’t really choose those which is why I didn’t give super high marks for value. Complementary birthday dessert was very nice too.

    We arrived on time for our reservation then greeted or not greeted by the 2 hosts. Then one of them grabbed menus and basically sprinted to the back of the restaurant and left us at a table. We proceeded to sit for 20 minutes with staff walking past us. After that we decided to go next door. The place was dead, Not busy at all that was the confusing part. Not one friendly interaction. This was our 2nd time there. Probably won’t go back. Other options. Kings sucked too. Empty but couldn’t get a drink at the bar. The valet parking attendants are amazing.

    Strange experience. Went there with someone who has been there a lot and enjoyed it. He was as baffled as we were. The server was wonderful and tried to be helpful, but they are changing the bar menu and didn't have the first 4-5 brands of bourbon and scotch that are on their printed menu. We waited at least 20 minutes to hear they didn't have them. It went on for a while, then our friend went to talk to the bartender - as we'd already sat for 30 minutes. He said it was our fault, we kept changing the order - we did not, they didn't have what we asked for. He was rude and when asked if he cared - he said he did not, why should he, and walked away. The manager checked on us and we told him. He took off a drink for each of us, but we will never go back. There are simply so many other good choices in this area - we now don't care either, why should we?

    The French fries on the steak fries were not hot And the Cesar salad flavor was amazing!! But a bit over dressed for my liking. The salmon and steak were perfectly cooked! Also the roasted root veggies that came with my salmon were not fully roasted- they were undercooked and crunchy. But a lovely mix and pretty. We took them home and filled them more for dinner the next night:)

    When you change out food and drink menus, please be sure to change out the hard copies for the customer. Our table ordered THREE drinks that were no longer available. It is embarrassing for the wait staff and frustrating for the customer - certainly dampens the enthusiasm early on. Also, for brunch service maybe make more pita bread for the brunch platter rather than offering nasty packaged saltines. Not a good look for a "scratch" restaurant. The chicken salad was delicious but would have been even better on the pita. FYI - the server told us you run out of pita EVERY day. Why??

    GOT DRINKS FAST, EVERYTHING ELSE AFTER WAS SLOW. ENTREE CAME TO THE TABLE 1 HOUR AFTER SEATING AND WAS COLD. IT WAS BROUGHT TO US BY SOMEONE ELSE BESIDES OUR SERVER. MOST LIKELY BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN SITTING THERE A LONG TIME. AND NO THEY WERE NOT SHORT ON WAIT STAFF. IT WAS MY WIFE'S BIRTHDAY DINNER AND IT WAS A LETDOWN. ENDED UP GOING TO THE YARDHOUSE DOWN THE STREET TO GET HOT FOOD.
