Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Rayleigh

I went to STK yesterday for my friend's birthday brunch. There were ten of us, and it was seriously the best! The Vibe brunch was amazing, 10/10. You should totally check it out. Thanks to all the awesome staff. I'm definitely going back.

Had the valentines menu. Good price but what they call sharing sides are actually regular sides between 2 so we had to order more. The dessert that came with it was essentially a plate of whipped cream with some pastry and a sprinkle of fruit - terrible. They also put the tables way too close together so you get to hear the full conversation of your dinner neighbours. Other than that, the steak is tasty, our waiter very attentive and it was a nice time.

The service was great, pretty quick. The waitress was really nice and professional. We appreciated the cake for the birthday although it could be served before we ordered desserts because we were full. The atmosphere is a bit noisy but overall very nice.

Truly superb ingredients that are cooked to perfection, the waiting staff are very aware of what is needed without being to intrusive.

We went for Sunday lunch and had a lovely time. Cocktails are amazing, food was delicious, decor was great. The only downside was that the service was very slow and waiting staff not very attentive as in we sat with empty glasses for a long time and no-one came over to the table really except to take our order or serve the food. Also not enough gravy on the roast but that is a personal preference. Overall though loved The Hengist and would definitely go back!
