For more than 30 years, The Chelsea has been serving guests in one of downtown New Bern's most historic buildings, but many of the stories behind these walls remain unknown.

From Elvis to fire horses, Nicholas Sparks to century-old architectural details, every corner of The Chelsea has a story to tell.

🥩 We hear it all the time: “I wish New Bern had a steakhouse.”

Did you know The Chelsea features five exceptional steak cuts on our menu? From our tender Filet Mignon and flavorful Hanger Steak to our Prime New York Strip, classic Ribeye, and this showstopping Bone-In Ribeye, we've got a steak for every craving.

Take it a step further with one of our house-made sauces (bearnaise or chimichurri, anyone?), or elevate your dinner Oscar-style with crab or lobster. 🦀🦞✨
