We stop here for the first time. Everything was amazing. The staff was super nice. We had Julia as our server and she was amazing! I got the Peppercorn Chicken that comes with mashed potatoes, and broccoli. It was sooo good!
My husband got the fried Seafood Platter that had lobster, shrimp, and flounder. His came with huge hushpuppies and a nice portion of slaw. The wedge salad was a very nice portion. The Hawaiian roles with the Thai honey butter was so good as well.

Decided to try this place for a nice dinner. I did make a reservation, which is very easy to do on their website. I didn’t want to take the chance.
Walking up, it looks nice and is a beautiful spot on the water.
It was immediate friendly service, smiling faces, and I ordered a glass of wine (a Zinfandel).
Tried the brussel sprout appetizer and the Bourbon glazed salmon for dinner.
The appetizer was spot on, not overly crispy or burnt, and a complimenting balsamic.
The main course of the salmon, was cooked to perfection with a side of mashed sweet potatoes, and green beans. My only complaint is that the mashed sweet potatoes were whipped, it felt like baby food in my mouth and starchy. Really hard to get a good flavor. I was hoping for some real cinnamon flavor.
I was encouraged to try a dessert (which she answered honestly if they make in-house, and unfortunately they don’t), so I decided to go with the carrot cake. Not disappointed at all, it was the perfect ending to a great meal.

Persimmons Waterfront Restaurant is the quintessential New Bern dining experience, perfectly blending a stunning location with seriously impressive New American cuisine. The atmosphere alone is worth the visit; nestled right on the Neuse River, the panoramic views are absolutely fantastic, making it an ideal spot to relax and take in the Inner Banks scenery.
The food truly stands out. My table enjoyed the pork chops and chicken, both of which were ridiculously tender and flavorful; you could definitely tell the chef can cook! The service was efficient and friendly, contributing to the restaurant’s warm, elegant-yet-casual coastal ambiance.
Whether you’re planning a romantic date night, a relaxed family outing, or just meeting friends for drinks on the water, Persimmons fits the bill perfectly. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and highly recommend trying this New Bern waterfront destination for a memorable culinary experience.

This is my go-to restaurant whenever I’m in New Bern. I’ve been here several times (and usually in the same trips), and it’s been a great experience each visit—both during the day and in the evening. The food is always delicious, and the drinks are excellent. My son was able to get a mocktail, and our server made a great recommendation. The service is consistently good (with some servers being friendlier than others), but the biggest plus is the beautiful outdoor and waterfront seating. It’s also within walking distance of the Courtyard Marriott hotel which is convenient if you stay there and the downtown area.

Nice view and good food for my birthday vibes! This place is perfectly located right on the waterfront with beautiful views of the marina and surrounding area. Our greeting by the young hostess was quite lack luster but our server was great! Tobias was attentive and knowledgeable of the menu and made great recommendations. The food arrived in good time and was delicious. We would visit if we are ever in the area again.

First time there won’t be our last. Great service, food was delicious and plentiful. Beautiful views on the water, and great atmosphere inside. Service was right on when needed. My husband and I started with the feta dip and both had the unicorn fish, with lemon, spinach and scallops risotto.

We just hosted a rehearsal dinner in the upstairs event room and had the best time. Everything from the appetizers to the plated salad to the entree and sides buffet was incredible. The space is gorgeous, with waterfront views and an outside deck The service was top notch as well. We couldn’t have picked a better place to celebrate. Many thanks to Katherine for her help planning and to the Chef extraordinaire and to all the staff who made this night so special. I highly recommend

First time here and it did not disappoint. We started with the fried green tomatoes. They offer it with a unique twist with pineapple and pork belly. The flavor combination was definitely a step above the traditional dish. I ordered stuffed mahi and it was delicious. My wife ordered the jumbo lump crab cakes and the flavor was excellent with or without the remoulade. The food was served timely and Bella, our waitress, was attentive and provided excellent service. Thank you Persimmons for making our anniversary dinner so good. We will definitely be back.

We’ve been here the second time today and had a great experience. Daniel was our server – he was super friendly and very attentive. I had the pork chop with chipotle mac & cheese and my husband the crab cakes. Both dishes were freshly cooked and super tasty. Great wine and cocktail menu along with beer. Highly recommend
