I’m a sucker for mushroom raviolis… and Stoney Knob’s are the best.
Just imagine: Wild Mushrrom stuffed Ravioli infused in a Sun-Dried Tomato, Garlic, Walnut Cream Sauce with Parmesan & Feta Cheese.
And they’re even better than they sound.
Apparently the other meals at Stoney Knob are excellent, not that I would know. Those raviolis even kept me coming back when the restaurant seemed to be faltering (twice I was served salad with one transparent cucumber and a tiny sliver of tomato, plus the service was spotty).
But the last time I visited, Stoney Knob seemed to be back on its feet. A new menu, a great waitress, and a chock-full salad (I recommend the blue cheese dressing). Best of all, we sat out on the enclosed porch and got to listen to rain beating down on the tin roof.
It’s difficult to describe the place–the food is perhaps Mediterranean-fusion, and the decor is just strange. You might think they have an identity crisis, but that’s fitting around here. Located on Merrimon Avenue in Weaverville, it’s kind of a pain getting there from just about anywhere, but it’s worth the drive. (Warning: the entrance sneaks up on ya, you’ll probably whiz right by the first time you go…and maybe the second and third times too).
Check out their site, though I don’t think the new menu is up yet, so keep that in mind.
