This restaurant is fairly small, but it has a nice little bar area where you can wait for a table. It is in an old pharmacy building with high ceilings. My son thought it would be a great place for a date. We had portobello fries for a starter--very tasty. The spinach salad and the house salad were both right... more

Wow! This was the best meal I have had in a long time. We were quickly seated upstairs. Nice local art for sale on the walls. Decoration was not outstanding but the restaurant was nice. I started my dinner with the crab soup. This was fantastic. The soup was loaded with crab; the real stuff. As my entree I had... more

My Husband and I have lived in New Bern, NC for 3 yrs and viewed the Chelsea as the best restaurant in town until tonight. We had the stuffed mushroom caps as an appetizer, they consisted of 5 very small (like you cut up in a salad) and watery mushrooms not stuffed with any seafood, just filling, for $7.95. My... more

Went there for lunch on a Saturday at around a little bit after 11am. I didn't have to wait too long for the hostess to sit me on one of the tables. I had "Shrimp with Grits" and it was awesome! The Staff did a great service... kept checking on me to make sure I got what I needed. My... more

My husband and I were passing through New Bern for the first time ever on a Monday night around 5:30, so I checked Trip Advisor for a good place to eat. Our journey took us very close to The Chelsea, and after reading these reviews, we gave it a try. What a gem! The location is in the historic district... more

I've only eaten there twice, but the second time was last week. Soooo good. I was there for a business dinner. We started with drinks downstairs, moved upstairs for dinner and then went back downstairs for drinks again. Dinner was fantastic - the cheese dip was really good. I had the chicken bruscetta and really enjoyed it. Great, friendly service,... more

We recently ate at Chelsea's in New Bern (we were visiting from Oklahoma). I asked the wait person what she recommended and she said they sell more of the shrimp and grits than anything else, so I thought I would give it a try and boy am I ever glad that I did! I have to say that it was... more

My wife and I have eaten numerous times at The Chelsea. We have never had a bad meal and we have eaten meals from the high priced end of the menu as well as the beer and burger. Frankly, one of our favorites is the buger with a "Smithwick's" beer from Ireland. We definitely recommend the Chelsea regardless of what... more

We had a fabulous dinner Saturday night at the Chelsea Restaurant. We enjoyed the ambiance, the wait staff, and of course the food! Finally, something really different! I see why they say it's "All Good" at the Chelsea! more
