“ Food was delicious, loved the ambiance and background music. Service was great. The duck pizza is so good, the gnudi and scallops, and lamb were absolutely amazing! ”

“ What a fantastic Valentines Dinner last night. They were able to seat us early and we appreciated that. Our waitress was great and even asked the chef for a special request....fried oysters! They were the best I've ever had. The presentation was beautiful! Thank you! We highly recommend this restaurant! ”

“ The food and atmosphere are fantastic. The pork cheeks were so tender they fell apart. Hint, if you have a large appetite, you will want an appetizer also, it's a little small if you are actually hungry but just right for most. The affogato for desert absolutely hit the spot. ”

“ Cypress Hall in New Bern is an absolute delight! The steak tartare is perfection--fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. For dessert, the cheesecake is a must-try: creamy, decadent, and paired with the perfect toppings. The ambiance is warm and inviting, and the service is top-notch. If you're looking for a fantastic dining experience in New Bern, Cypress Hall is the place to go! ”

“ This place might be the finest establishment in New Bern. Diverse and sophisticated selection of cocktails and draft beer. The cocktails are crafted by the bartender like an artist paints a painting. With precision and passion. An eccentric, but tried and true, exciting food menu. The atmosphere is refined, rustic, old-fashioned, and gorgeous. The service is professional. The waitresses are experts on the menu. For New Bern, NC, this is a solid 5 stars. ”

“ We dined here in a large group. The service was excellent and our server was very knowledgeable of the menu and cocktails. As a group we tried the steak tartare, duck, lamb shank and various pizzas. All excellent! Half our group loved the fries and half didn't prefer their "style" The cocktails were fabulous with a wide range ”

“ Space feels like an event hall as soon as you walk in. Dinner feel is romantic and modern with exposed brick and tall ceiling' - perfect lighting. Restrooms were clean and up kept. The Pomme Frites were a must! So glad we ordered them - most restaurants put a dusting of herbs and parm on the top, but not these. The flavor was layered up until the last French fry was completed. Delicious! Writing this review I want to go back and order them again! Did not even need a dipping sauce, which we asked for and never used. We also ordered the jambalaya which was recently added back on the menu. Kept a critical eater extremely happy with full of flavor. Also ordered raw oysters with a vinaigrette topping. Not my favorite. A little spicy and had a crunch- I also like to add my own flavors on oysters. They had another oyster option with crème fraiche and caviar which I should have ordered. Ordered a French 75 which was on point. Cocktail list looked carefully curated. TV at the bar was extremely high, I would lower that a shelf or two. All and all great experience and I would recommend. Service was also great! I would go back. ”

“ Great drinks, food, and service. Reservations recommended, especially if you are visiting from out of town. Deviled eggs and oysters were great appetizers! ”

“ The absolute perfect espresso martini! Hard to find in ENC. Ask for Ed as the bartender that makes it! Beauty. ”

“ Wow!! This place is a hidden gem in New Bern, NC! Everything was cooked just right! Not too hot and not too cold. Perfect early dinner place to visit especially on a nice evening. Reservations are recommended however I was lucky enough to get a table during Spring Break! ”
