They brought us tea with TWO perfectly cut lemons, which was such a small thing but I appreciated it so much. The food was seriously incredible. I had the Philly cheesesteak and it was probably the best one I've ever had. Everyone else in my party loved their food too. I was told that the crab cake sandwich was amazing and full of crabmeat. They also made us cinnamon sugar butter for our sweet potato fries, which was so good and such a nice touch. Overall, everything was great and we'll definitely be back!

We we quickly seated as a party of two and taken to a large booth. Lots of room to stretch. It took a bit for our waitress to show up, but that gave us ample time to peruse the menu and order our food with the drinks. Our server made frequent fly-bys and was quick to refresh our drinks. Our fajitas were piping hot and the portion size was generous. Can't ask for anything more than that. A great experience and I'm sure we'll be back when in the area.

Didn't happen to us, but when we arrived, there was indeed a train sitting there, and some cars in front, well, they weren't going anywhere anytime soon. Inside is all vibes, kind of set up like an old pharmacy, but slinging cocktails instead, and I have to say, the cocktails were very tasty and well priced. All the tables were full of friend and family groups playing board games and enjoying various flatbreads and libations. Seems like the kind of place the local neighborhoods enjoy and spend quite a bit of time at. At the moment, can't remember the names of the cocktails we got, its been a few months. But I do remember the toasts. This place doesnt have a kitchen in a traditional sense, more like a prep area where they bring ingredients together (that I imagine are made off site) and toast it up to present you with some pretty unique combos and flavors. Honestly, a great way around some of the health code restrictions that start to apply to more in-depth operations while still having a robust menu. We ordered a variety for the 4 of us, as this was dinner that evening. Gettin Figgy with it was a favorite, as were the Pig and the Goat, and the Reuben. Their version of a Cubano was alright, but as could be the case you'd imagine, the pork was a little dry. The caprese was the only one we got that seemed to be a universal thumbs down, the avocado spread wasn't working with the other ingredients. Definitely would come back for some of these toasts, and drinks!

1st time here tonight 7/4/26. We arrived at 630 pm and was greeted by a young lady and gentleman at…read morehostess stand who were professional and fully understanding. (Note give option of in or out we originally said in and changed our minds after walking around) they handle it above perfection! Our waitress Ridley M was super sweet comforting and understanding she was a 15/10 loved her personality and more!! Now side note this is a Major seafood restaurant (which yes I knew). I choose it for that reason as it was to celebrate not just the 4th but also my hubby who LOVES seafood. I do as well but I am highly allergic as in anaphylactic type allergic to ALL types. Ridley made sure the kitchen knew and the kitchen handled it 100000% I had NO ISSUES at all. I enjoyed my food beyond belief as did my husband! The atmosphere was on point the staff was above point frankly and the food yeah we will be back!!! Hubby got the fish and chips and I got the pork chop with asparagus instead of Brussels. Most amazing "date night" ever!!! Both of us are stuffed but not feeling heavy like. I honestly would give this place a 15/10 like on point 100%! To all on board... Thank you for all you hard work to make our night magically beautiful (and safe). Forever in our hearts!!!

My small group wanted to eat waterside, so we went to Persimmons for lunch. We were quickly seated…read moreupstairs with picturesque views of the water. Our server Ridley, came to the table promptly, answered our questions and took our orders. Our drinks came quickly and were always full. The food arrived soon after our orders were placed. The presentation of our meals was terrific. Three diners in our party ordered the Fish Tacos and one got the Fish and Chips. It would be an understatement to say the servings were seriously generous. The fish & chips came 3 large fried fish filets and a heaping of seasoned fries. The taco orders each had 3 full vs mini sized soft tacos overflowing with fish filets...the fish was legit spilling out over both ends of the tacos! The fish was lightly battered, nicely seasoned and fried to perfection. The quantity of the food was so generous, only one of us could finish our meal!! On our way out, we stopped and spoke with the manager Kelsey. She is the spirit behind the "the new and improved" Persimmon's ethos. She took no credit for the changes or improvements and instead placed our exemplary experience squarely at the feet of her employees! It's obvious she's a wonderful, caring leader of the Persimmon's team. Cheers to Kelsey, Ridley and the Persimmon's crew!

If you are ever in New Bern, NC, you need to eat at MJ's Raw Bar and Grill. My wife and I were in…read morethe mood for seafood and I did a Yelp search. There were a few restaurants but MJ's stood out amongst the rest for the photos and reviews. MJ's is located in downtown New Bern. The restaurant is not very big but the wait (20-25 mins) was worth it. We ordered the Admirals Platter which had oysters, clams, shrimp, and crab legs. The oysters were steamed to perfection, the clams were not dried out, the shrimp was perfectly seasoned with Old Bay and red onions and the crab legs were not dried out. What I am trying to say is, the seafood was fresh and not pre-cooked. It was cook to order. Our waiter was awesome. Even though the restaurant was packed full, he paid attention to our needs. Our glasses never got empty. He kept our table cleared by replacing the shell bucket without asking. We really appreciate the customer service. After dinner, we decided on dessert and had the lemon blueberry pie. I highly recommend it ... deliciousness!!! Thank you MJ's for a special time with delicious food. If we are back in New Bern, you will be a definite choice for seafood.

I must say, The Grapes of Rat was a much welcomed venue here in New Bern, NC. There's nothing…read morebetter than wine and cheese, complimented by their delicious truffle fries. Located atop Captain Ratty's Seafood, it's a quaint little room with limited seating. Be sure to try a wine flight for $10.00, which is well worth the money. You can choose five reds (or whites), and sample all five. You're also able to do a "Round Trip", in which you sample all their wines on the menu for the evening. Feel free to eat from their regular menu, and simply choose to sit in the wine bar. For me, it's a much better ambiance than the restaurant itself. If you're interested in a good view; however, try the rooftop above Captain Ratty's. It's not technically part of the wine bar, but you can order from their wine menu. Don't leave without trying a cheese plate or truffle fries. They give a generous portion of cheeses that can be shared with at least three or four people. My friends and I always sample them together (along with the wines), and we always have a great time; especially 3 flights in! ;-) Enjoy!
