Reviews for Cypress Hall in New Bern, NC
I'm giving this place three stars, reasons being: it's probably how the script is but the hostess asked if we had a reservation... at lunch time! with multiple tables opened, or was she putting us in our place by us wearing t-shirts and jeans, saying we don'tbelong, whatever, don't care. Second, too loud, the music was too high. Third, the food, I'd describe it as being pretentiousbar food with flowery and colorful descriptions that costs way too much. It's a burger with bacon jam, tasted good, but notworth the price. And what's so special about arugala?! It's a leaf. Is spinach not good enough? Anyhow, if you want to impressyour date, I'm sure this is a great restaurant to take them. Oh, the wait staff was on par, very attentive. Thank you. Read more
This place has the texture of a new and trendy eatery, often found in a town 10 times the size. I was quite surprised by this... pleasant dining experience. One that I didn't expect to find in North Carolina's first capital. Cypress Hall proved itsstature as the culinary anchor of New Bern. Do try the clams. Read more
Decided to stop in New Bern while driving down to NC from VA. Made a reservation but after some traffic delays we realized we... would not be on time. Called the restaurant and the hostess, Katy was nice enough to move us to another slot. So glad shedid. We had a great time. Started off with a smoked Old Fashioned and my wife had a martini. Then we had the Pimento Cheesewith Pork Rinds to start. For dinner, I had the Cider Braised Pork Cheeks over grits and collards. My wife had the Hot ChickenSandwich with collards. We really enjoyed our visit at Cyprus Hall. Great food, service and venue. Well worth the stop and wewill be back. Read more
Writing this review as we order dessert which I know it’s gonna be amazing. We are a table of 8 and got a variety of dishes... and all of them were outstanding. Cocktails were also delicious and service has been incredible. This has been a beautifulsurprise! If you can order the paella I 100% recommend. 10/10 Read more
Excellent, probably the best upscale place to eat in New Bern. The food is outstanding, I had the paella, there were clams,... shrimp, fish and shell fish also in it, the rice was perfect too. A lovely place with great atmosphere. We sat in the windowwith their lift up window, a perfect place to sit and watch the world go by. We will return here. Staff are very friendly andhelpful. You will not regret eating here. Read more
Had a wonderful dinner here with family. I don't know what I was expecting from New Bern, but this far exceeded any... expectations. Starters were possibly my favorite part of the meal, the hot pimento cheese with chicharrones was delicious, aswas the fried okra with boiled peanut remoulade. Perfectly breaded and fried, and the sauce was reminiscent of a white bbqsauce. The grilled octopus appetizer, to which my son in law added some scallops to make a full meal was excellent. Greatflavor and cooked perfectly. Pizza was enjoyed by the 3 year old, as well as his mother. The roasted beets were perfectlypaired with citrus and goat cheese, and my son's burger with bacon jam was great too. His favorite was the strawberry cake fordessert, and he doesn't usually go for cake. Our waitress, Jessica, was excellent!!! Very friendly, and remembered my daughterand son in law from the last time they visited. The wine list has some excellent choices, and they have a Coravin winepreservation system, so you can get some wines by the glass that aren't often on the menu as a glass pour. If you want tosplurge and try a glass of Opus One (or my preference would be for any of their Orin Swift selections) without going for thewhole bottle, you can do that here. Overall, we had an amazing meal, great service, and good time to commune with family! Read more
