The Chelsea

For more than three decades, The Chelsea has been a cornerstone of downtown New Bern’s dining scene, blending historic charm with elevated coastal cuisine. Housed in the storied Stanly Building, our restaurant is best known for its award-winning shrimp and grits — a guest favorite that perfectly captures the flavors of Eastern North Carolina — and our selection of hand-cut premium steaks, expertly prepared and cooked to perfection. From intimate dinners to celebratory gatherings, The Chelsea delivers hospitality-forward service, a curated wine list, and a commitment to quality that has made us a local institution and regional destination alike.
