I recently coordinated the food for our company's annual summit.

This year, there were 13 of us, sharing multiple meals together. Everyone in our New Bern office loves Gemelli's. We order lunch there often, but have never had any kind of catering done. I went in during lunch, thinking I would just grab a menu for their catering and be on my way. Matteo took the time to talk to me about their offerings and put together a spread with a lot of variety and great flavors. We had two sandwich trays and a large salad. We picked the items up from the store, and they were neatly packaged and organized, with all the condiments on the side (to keep the sandwiches from getting soggy). The staff even helped us get everything out to the car so we didn't have to make multiple trips. They also provided a wide variety of chips on the side. Everything from the bread to the vegetables was fresh and delicious! The variety was great, and exposed us to some sandwiches none of us had ordered before. Several staff members who had not had the sandwiches before commented that they think these are the best sandwiches in New Bern. While there is no question that we will continue to order lunch from Gemelli's, they will definitely feature prominently on our list of places to order catered meals from.

The staff was wonderful and the loaded potato soup and my chicken salad plate with broccoli slaw was amazingly delicious! I give this place a10/10.

It was indeed one of the best that I have had. Compared to others the crust was more moist and had more substance behind it. Cream was just sweet enough and had a thick but light texture. Also tried their chocolate chip cookies which is a soft and thin type. Definitely will be back the next time I'm in town.

Wife and I wanted to visit New Bern again and decided to have a great lunch at Lawson's On The…read moreCreek. What a wonderful experience. Very nice place kind of tucked away on the water side of The NC History Center at Tryon Palace. From the large parking area you can enter through the History Center or walk toward the water and enter through the main entrance of the restaurant. We entered through the main entrance and were greeted upon entering. As you enter there is plenty of seating around the inside, outside, and some seating at the bar. We were seated near the History Center entrance adjacent to the restroom entryway. Very large windows provide plenty of lighting and views of the water and surrounding area. Our server promptly arrived and took our beverage order as well as provided the specials for the day. A few minutes later she returned with our drinks and took our orders. We ordered the turkey club with coleslaw and the special, cheesesteak with smashed tots. Our meals arrived after a short wait. They looked really good. The portions were a good size and were well prepared. We both agreed everything was delicious! The coleslaw had great texture and the right amount of seasoning. The turkey club delivered everything you would expect. The smashed tots were an interesting version of tots, but were good. For me the highlight was the cheesesteak. I had mushrooms and jalapenos added to the already loaded sandwich and it was amazing. The overall experience was great. We will definitely return here again and highly recommend giving Lawson's On The Creek a try.

Somebody is cooking these in straight love because they are the best restaurant greens I've ever eaten. If I'd known, I would have doubled those as my veggie. The cabbage was seasoned well but next to the collards, just paled in comparison. The pork chops were what I expected. The collards, though... get you some!

If this is your first visit, you place your order at the counter and grab a seat. They'll bring your freshly prepared order directly to your table. I have been craving fried soft shell crab for weeks and finally had the opportunity to enjoy some! If you don't appreciate them, you don't know what you're missing! I decided to add the premium side Crab Tots ($1.99 when added to the meal). I'd never had them before and will definitely order them again! All of my meal items were served fresh and hot!! Everyone in our group cleaned their plates, so you know the quality and quantity of the food was outstanding! On my way out, I spotted the owner Trey sitting at a booth enjoying his lunch. I didn't want to disturb him, so I offered my compliments to the cashier. As I was telling them how much we appreciated the exceptional food and service, Trey got up from his meal and walked over to thank me for coming in. He is a true gentleman and wonderful servant of our community! If you haven't already given them a try, drop by the Front Street Fish Co for lunch or dinner. Also check out the fresh fish in their market next door!! You won't be disappointed!

I have to say, this "chowder" was the worst I've ever had and it's not even close. It tasted, and looked, straight out of a Campbell's soup can. It had hardly no clams and maybe two tiny potato bits. The base tasted just like cream of chicken soup and it was the same consistancy. I even checked with the girl at the front counter to make sure I got the right soup because it was not even close to being a chowder. Even though I didn't like the soup, no one offered to reimburse me for it. All of the other food was ok with the fried shrimp being the best.
