If you are going to pay what The Chelsea costs, you should probably go just a little more and eat at The Harvey Mansion. Food and service here are just OK, but at premium prices. Seems to be a theme in New Bern, that they have generally higher prices than we encountered up and down the coast, but generally mediocre... more

There was a good crowd for a Wed night, the locals seem to know where to go. We both had a pasta entree and were very tasty. The rooms upstairs are a lot more private and quiet Good wine list, but could use a little more than west coast wines more

The food and our server were excellent. We were somewhat limited in our menu choices, because we had to pick our meal from a special menu for a meal included with our stay at a local B&B. However, the limited menu had several choices, and both entrees we tried were good. I opted for the traditional shrimp and grits, and... more

We decided to try this place instead of eating at Morgans where we usually dine in New Bern. We certainly made a mistake. This place is expensive and overpriced. Food was average and the tables were really close together and small. You can get better food and value elsewhere. more

Our waitress (Kristina) put us on to the crab cakes, which came with nice green beans and flavorful rice. We ordered off the lunch menu at 4:30. For those of you that don't know, arriving at the tail end of lunch can save you a bunch and net the same, or better, fare than off the dinner menu (OK, I'm... more

What a great place, both restaurant and bar. This is an inspired menu. The Shrimp and Grits dish is outstanding! The atmosphere is friendly, with a mix of locals and visitors. The prices are excellent for what you get. The other New Bern restaurants should take note of how to do it. The only hitch was the service was good... more

I had read mixed reviews re: The Chelsea, so we were pleasantly surprised by our lunch there. Prices are much better at lunch, by the way, but not excessive for a nice meal at any time. Beer and wine selection is varied. The fried green tomato salad with a pesto dressing was a nice start; my husband enjoyed his hamburger... more
