The Chelsea

We had lunch at The Chelsea and it was absolutely delicious. Our waitress was so kind. We had the fried green tomatoes (my favorite food of all time) and they were to die for. I followed that with the BLT (like I said, fried green tomatoes FOREVER) and it was perfect. The house chips are crisp and delightful. The setting of this restaurant is so charming. We had lunch among a room full of southern women celebrating another trip around the sun and it made me wish I lived here and could also grow older while eating the fried green tomatoes on a regular basis. Highly, highly recommend The Chelsea.

Best shrimp 'n grits in the South for yo mouth!!!

The food was amazing. Kristina was our waitress and she was extremely personable and knowledgeable about the menu. Could not have asked for a better experience

Nice place with a friendly and efficient staff. Our waitress was very attentive and took care of our every need. The food was quite tasty and plentiful and with the relaxed feel of the place we will definitely return in the future.

Great food and service. A place to host an event too. Always enjoy my dinner there with Coastal Women's Forum.

Great food and look beautiful location in downtown. New Orleans pasta was very good and went with shrimp, chicken, and sausage. My wife enjoyed the paella as well. Highly recommend!

The food is always really good. Love the African banana bread

The Chelsea is located in downtown historic New Bern. There is ample parking near the the restaurant but it can get crowded at times so come early if you can. We have been for several business meetings and the food has always been full of flavor. They are know for their Cream of Crab soup, and Shrimp and Grits. There is a full bar downstairs and yiue can do fine dining up stairs and casual downstairs.they have a good choice of desserts to choose from as well. If you are in New Bern I would definitely recommend The Chelsea during your visit!

What a great find on my trip to New Bern. Everything was amazing and received great service by Katie!

I love this restaurant. I stop in every time I am in town and the food and service are too notch. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy spot to grab dinner.

Great atmosphere and setting. Amazing signature dishes and entrees du jour. Moderately priced, but well worth it! A definite recommendation for a complete dining experience!

Nice atmosphere, great service, good food. I had the Maryland style crab cakes and my wife had the chicken bruschetta. Both of us were very happy with our entrees. We shared a slice of the coconut cream pie which was not good, however. It was quite stiff, almost gummy, and not at all creamy, with a consistency like chilled marshmallow fluff. A different recipe would be a very good idea, IMO. Otherwise, our meal was very good, as usual, and we will be back.

This place was so great. We shot a wedding here and the way they worked with us was exactly what we needed to do our job. The food that they served for the wedding was amazing and the drinks were very good!

My first time there was our company Xmas party. The food was great. My only complaint is I thought the sweet tea was too sweet, but that's my opinion.

Great food, fair speed, quaint atmosphere. I'd definitely dine again.
