    Good food. Quick service. No matter the time the service is great. Nice staff (Pedro and Francisco)were awesome. The food is a decent price. My family and I go for the nachos.

    Very clean place. Service was good. Burrito Mexicana was just so so. I would choose something else if we ate here again.

    The food here is always delicious and reasonably priced! I love that they have tamales as well. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed.

    The food was pretty bland. As if they didn't season it at all. The salsa was just okay.

    I bought a vegetarian taco salad. I'd have feed it to my dog. It was absolutely terrible.

    It will make a turd. Food was nothing to write home about and the portion was not fit for a POW.

    Do they serve horchata here?

    What's their white sauce or sour cream flavoring?

    My wife has given up because every one we've had uses the thick fries and we like the thin fries in our Californias, so now she just orders a carne asada burrito.

Growing up in the South, I've had my fill of the same kinds of restaurants, so finding a place like Cork has been such a breath of fresh air. Cork is truly special for New Bern. Every dish is thoughtfully prepared, the service is consistently exceptional, and the hospitality makes you feel like family from the moment you walk in. The wine list is carefully curated, with perfect pairings for every appetizer and entrée, making the entire dining experience unforgettable. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just looking for an amazing meal, Cork Wine Bar & Bistro is a place you'll want to come back to again and again. New Bern is lucky to have a restaurant of this caliber.

    One of the places open on Monday night in New Bern. I went because I met the owner the night…read morebefore at MJs and she told us about Cork and the amazing lobster rolls. I went because that sounded really good. Pro Tip: They only sell lobster rolls on Sunday. It appears food cost are rising and the orders don't fully justify the expense in the customers eyes. The menu still looked good so I stayed. Olivia was my server and she was great. Super knowledgeable about the menu with great suggestions. I wanted the brussel sprouts but was a little reluctant because of the beets. She said it was good and give it a try. I glad I did what a treat. The brussels were lightly fried. The real treat was the flavor profile. The bitterness of the brussels, pickled sweetness of the beets, creaminess of the goat cheese with the crunch of the pecans....wow. So good and it was lightly dressed with the pickling liquid. I went with the jerk salmon for the entree. The salmon was cooked perfect and had a nice crust on it. It was served with a citrus (mango forward) salsa on top of jasmine coconut rice. It is all a great idea and the combo was good. Only feedback was the red bell peppers seemed out of place and took away from the dish and the jasmine rice was a little too bland. I could taste the hint of coconut which was good but some seasoning or a touch of salt on the rice would have paired great with the salmon and orange glaze. Over a gem in New Bern with great service.

Good reason to come back. Started with prickly pear margarita with mescal. Yum! Had a white wine after. It was ok. My friend and I shared 4 bruschetta's- smoked salmon and pesto, artichoke, caprese, and apple, Brie and fig. Favs were smoked salmon and apple and Brie. The fries were amazing. Salmon board was good too. The bread on the board was much better than the bruschetta. Ambiance is great. Service as well. Will be back!

    Absolutely love Postino! This is my go to lunch spot with coworkers. We've been numerous times…read moreand are never disappointed. My go to meal is the half panini and tomato soup. Their roast beef panini is on par with Portillo's a long standing Chicago beef restaurant (IYKYK). I've NEVER had a beef sandwich that was better than Portillo's but Postino you managed to take a hometown classic and elevate it to a point beyond my expectations - if you get this sandwich I recommend getting it on the ciabatta bread versus focaccia. Let's not overlook the tomato soup - it's so rich and flavorful. For a lighter lunch my go to is the tuna panini with broccoli salad. They are known for their boards, I've not had the bruschetta yet but it looks delicious. My favorite board is the hummus. One thing I hate is when a restaurant gives you a big bowl of hummus and not enough pita. That is not the case here, you'll get pita, toasted bread, and a variety of vegetables to scoop up the velvety humus covered in cherry tomatoes, red onion and feta. For date night enjoy a Violet Femme a gin cocktail that tastes as lovely as it looks. The service here is top notch! Everyone is fantastic. I'll have to come back to this review to note the serves names we've had because they have all been exceptional. Now let's talk about the vibe! Postino's nailed the indoor/outdoor feel. Plenty of windows that are open on nice days, plants galore and the decor gives you a cool like rockstar but classy feel. 5 stars doesn't feel like enough.
