When you think whimsical, what comes to mind? For me I think of fairytales, of places that exist on earth but feel as if they originated elsewhere. From landmarks, to destinations, to natural attractions – there are plenty of places in North Carolina that achieve that certain ‘whimsical’ factor, but what about dining?

Yelp / Chris C Stoney Knob is home to different ‘rooms’ that add a diverse feel to each section of the restaurant. Pictured above is the Diner room. You can grab a quick bite of hors d’oeuvres at the top table or sip a craft cocktail at the tango bar. You can always just keep it simple and settle into a booth that feels just like dining at home…a really cool, trendy home.
