I must say, The Grapes of Rat was a much welcomed venue here in New Bern, NC. There's nothing…read morebetter than wine and cheese, complimented by their delicious truffle fries. Located atop Captain Ratty's Seafood, it's a quaint little room with limited seating. Be sure to try a wine flight for $10.00, which is well worth the money. You can choose five reds (or whites), and sample all five. You're also able to do a "Round Trip", in which you sample all their wines on the menu for the evening. Feel free to eat from their regular menu, and simply choose to sit in the wine bar. For me, it's a much better ambiance than the restaurant itself. If you're interested in a good view; however, try the rooftop above Captain Ratty's. It's not technically part of the wine bar, but you can order from their wine menu. Don't leave without trying a cheese plate or truffle fries. They give a generous portion of cheeses that can be shared with at least three or four people. My friends and I always sample them together (along with the wines), and we always have a great time; especially 3 flights in! ;-) Enjoy!

Plus on Saturday the ladies play pool for free regardless of how long it takes to finish the game. There are ample pool tables. Parking is not an issue and the lot is safe and clientele in the bar was friendly and always felt safe. It's a middle age crowd of avid pool players early on a Saturday night. Beer prices are great! $2 Natural Lites and $3 bud lights in bottles. Atmosphere is good for all. It's a local spot, but welcoming to all. Check out this awesome bartender for yourself!

I wanted to share a recommendation for a great spot I found while visiting New Bern…read more I tried their "Beast Burger" and it was delicious. Even though I am not usually a big beef person, this burger was outstanding. I enjoyed it so much that I went back the next day to get one to go before heading back to the DMV area. The only strange detail was that their bathroom didn't have any mirrors, but overall, I highly recommend checking it out, especially if you like burgers.

They brought us tea with TWO perfectly cut lemons, which was such a small thing but I appreciated it so much. The food was seriously incredible. I had the Philly cheesesteak and it was probably the best one I've ever had. Everyone else in my party loved their food too. I was told that the crab cake sandwich was amazing and full of crabmeat. They also made us cinnamon sugar butter for our sweet potato fries, which was so good and such a nice touch. Overall, everything was great and we'll definitely be back!

We made a reservation and were 30 minutes late on a Saturday night. They said they would try to save our reservation. It was half empty when we arrived at 7 pm. Tried to seat us inside at a mediocre table. Glad I asked to sit outside. Beautiful, huge patio. I recommend pushing to stay away from the door inside. There is an annoying bug zapper (why?!) there that kept going off. Glad we didn't sit at the table right near the door. Dead bugs would have been in our food. We had the feta dip appetizer. Said the pitas were toasted. Not. The dip had more cucumber salad than anything. Our server was very accommodating. He raved about the Biltmore Riesling. I don't usually like sweet wine which it was not. Great recommendation. I also tried the Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. Riesling for the win! I had the unicorn fish. First time. Perfectly cooked. Yum. My husband had the chicken sandwich and asked to add a fried green tomato and have baby cauliflower. Two upcharges for an additional $2. Worth it. My son had the chicken Parmesan. He liked it. Just small amount of chicken. Overall, liked it. Would love to go back!

(Note give option of in or out we originally said in and changed our minds after walking around) they handle it above perfection! Our waitress Ridley M was super sweet comforting and understanding she was a 15/10 loved her personality and more!! Now side note this is a Major seafood restaurant (which yes I knew). I choose it for that reason as it was to celebrate not just the 4th but also my hubby who LOVES seafood. I do as well but I am highly allergic as in anaphylactic type allergic to ALL types. Ridley made sure the kitchen knew and the kitchen handled it 100000% I had NO ISSUES at all. I enjoyed my food beyond belief as did my husband! The atmosphere was on point the staff was above point frankly and the food yeah we will be back!!! Hubby got the fish and chips and I got the pork chop with asparagus instead of Brussels. Most amazing "date night" ever!!! Both of us are stuffed but not feeling heavy like. I honestly would give this place a 15/10 like on point 100%! To all on board... Thank you for all you hard work to make our night magically beautiful (and safe). Forever in our hearts!!!

If you are ever in New Bern, NC, you need to eat at MJ's Raw Bar and Grill. My wife and I were in…read morethe mood for seafood and I did a Yelp search. There were a few restaurants but MJ's stood out amongst the rest for the photos and reviews. MJ's is located in downtown New Bern. The restaurant is not very big but the wait (20-25 mins) was worth it. We ordered the Admirals Platter which had oysters, clams, shrimp, and crab legs. The oysters were steamed to perfection, the clams were not dried out, the shrimp was perfectly seasoned with Old Bay and red onions and the crab legs were not dried out. What I am trying to say is, the seafood was fresh and not pre-cooked. It was cook to order. Our waiter was awesome. Even though the restaurant was packed full, he paid attention to our needs. Our glasses never got empty. He kept our table cleared by replacing the shell bucket without asking. We really appreciate the customer service. After dinner, we decided on dessert and had the lemon blueberry pie. I highly recommend it ... deliciousness!!! Thank you MJ's for a special time with delicious food. If we are back in New Bern, you will be a definite choice for seafood.
