   The restaurant was clean and very comfortable, weekday reservations were not required as we were one of only 4 tables when we arrived. The service was excellent, staff was friendly and prompt. The food was missing ingredients listed on the menu both the crispy Brussels and the chicken and pork with pasta didn’t have any pork in them. When I asked about this omission I was assured they were not out of the pork, and was given a desert on the house (it was excellent). Overall the experience was good. I will try this establishment again.

   Renee was wonderful in taking care of getting the seat I wanted for privacy. Our waitress was perfect--not hovering over us, but checking often enough. I tipped her the max. Wish I remember her name--sweet face, sweet attitude. My friend had lost her son--this was a wonderful distraction for her. She wisely chose Persimmons!

   The location, service, and cocktail were great. But the food was meh. I got the prime rib asked for it medium rare and what I got was well done. Frankly I just wasn’t impressed with the meal at all. Our server was great and I really enjoyed the catcher and rye cocktail. I don’t see myself going back there to get food. For for drinks in the summer definitely.

    Hush puppy's were over cooked. The fish was a simple cornmeal batter no real flavor to distinguish it.

    Christmas Eve dinner - a special treat. We assumed the place would be packed, but it wasn’t yet at 5:15 pm. Good responses from all staff. Red snapper a nice substitute and was good and hot. But the risotto it came with was only warm. She decided to just eat the bites together to balance the temperature. I had the 12 oz Cowboy rib-eye, which was a splurge for me. I was careful to order it medium, so it wouldn’t be over cooked. Unfortunately it was very undercooked. Pretty rare. The side of potatoes were a little undercooked as well. A bit crispy, for roasted potatoes. I ate the outside edges and planned to just take it home and heat it for a later meal - sliced and pan fried to perfection. I am reluctant to send food back to the kitchen. Just be aware, they tend to undercook steak. Another Parton eating there at the sale time told me later HIS steak was also undercooked. My Mother in law enjoyed the good helping of chicken with pork belly in an Alfredo sauce. Overall, the food was a little disappointing for the price, but good service at least!

    Our experience last year was so good we returned this year for a Christmas Eve Eve dinner with family. Everything was just as wonderful as before except it was colder! No outside seating this year for us but indoors had a lovely water view. New Bern light festival was fun again as well. Great food, service, and ambiance!

    We enjoyed our dinner. I had the fish tacos, blackened, and they were delicious. Would definitely get again. Our kids had a salad with crab cake and the shrimp burger. Both loved their selections. Hubby got scallops and pasta. He said it was good, not too rich but flavorful.

    Spent the day in New Bern and stopped by for lunch. So glad we did! Perfect ambience and view. Started with the shrimp and crab dip, which was a little bit small but tasted excellent. I got the burger and sweet potato fries - one of the best burgers I've ever had and loved the fries as well. Definitely stop by if you're in the area.

    I was really looking forward to this dinner, walked in the score was a 91.5 which kinda worries me. We were 15 minutes early for reservation we got sat right on time. Our service was very nice and on point. The calamari was delicious I had never had it cooked that way. The two fish entrees we got were ok, I have had better. I have been there once and for me that is enough. Being right on the water is to me their best feature. We had better food at other restaurants in town.

    The menu online was one way, then the menu at the restaurant was different, and then what my mom wanted to order they didn’t have half of what they would put on the dish because they said “we have a new chef and he’s changing things up”. Then what we decided to get was supposed to have arugula on it but then came out with spinach…it just seemed very unorganized and was disappointed. Last year when we came, it was completely different of an experience and quite honestly was expecting the same. Not sure if we’ll be back.

    One of the region's best - the quality of the food and the service were both superb. The outdoor dining in such a pleasant location added to the enjoyment of our anniversary dinner. We had cocktails and three courses; when the bill came, I was rather surprised at how low the total price was.

    The whole evening was terrible. First it was so cold In the restaurant that we had our seats moved. Our reservation was for 7:00 and at 8:00 we hadn’t been served any food. 3 of us ordered the mahi-mahi with crab meet. The fish was so over cooked it was inedible. Plus the amount of crab meat served was laughable. One would expect some nice pieces of lump crab. Instead it was little pieces of crab from the bottom of the bowl and they charged $30 for the dish. This experience has happened to us several times before. I will never go back again. Persimmons can’t seem to get their act together. What a disappointing evening. Mary Anne OHSOL
