Confluence Riverfront Restaurant & Lounge

The food and view were absolutely outstanding! The chef made a special visit to each table after dinner, which added a classy touch to the experience. The dishes are consistently delicious, showcasing remarkable flavors. While the service could use a bit of improvement, the breathtaking view and absolutely delicious food truly made the evening memorable.

Fantastic food, fantastic view, fantastic chef!!!!!!

We started off with the spinach and artichoke dip, which was delicious, but that’s where the good review ends. The server seemed upset that we were there and wanted us to hurry up and leave. The lobster ravioli tasted as if it was frozen and then microwaved, and the beef Alfredo tasted as if the meat was bad/ had expired, but the pasta along side it was good. We also caught the server killing a roach right outside of the kitchen doors. Definitely not worth the $75 we spent. But if you don’t mind any of that, this is a great place to eat. Jk I wouldn’t wish this on anyone.

Food was not worth the price they charge! 3 of our 7 meals were sent back. We will not return! I do not recommend this restaurant!

Attended a pre-planned dinner for over 50 people. We had even pre-selected our entrees so they would be sure to have enough. It was a disaster! There were not enough servers and food came out 1 or 2 dinners at a time and it was lukewarm. Seemed like it took forever for everyone to be served. My partner and I finished our meals and plates were cleared before most others were even served. The worst part came afterwards when folks wanted to pay their check and leave - we asked and waited, and waited, and waited. It was now 10 pm and people were getting angry. We were finally told to go wait in line at the restaurant cashier and tell her what we had ordered. WHAT ??? No apologies, nothing — seemed like nobody knew what they were doing. Never again! Confluence lost over 50 possible repeat customers.

The chef is excellent. The meals were fantastic and the staff were wonderful.

Donna, Kelly, and the incredible chef & staff went above and beyond accommodating us for my daughter's birthday lunch. They served flatbread pizzas, macaroni and cheese, burgers, fries, and desserts, buffet style, and everything was delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant and am forever grateful that they made my daughter's celebration so special.

I tried this place for my birthday dinner. The hostess was apparently new and was also trying to be a waitress for tables, to go orders, and orders taken for rooms (its inside double tree hotel). Took a bit to receive water, asked for sweet tea which was never brought. The Chef was running back and forth and serving food. I actually asked him for calamari. It wasn’t anything special. I was at the restaurant until 8pm and never was got to order an entree and people were finally showing up to help the hostess.

They took over 40 minutes to bring us food we did not even order. We had to beg for scraps despite being the 2nd table to arrive on open. 3 Other tables got food before us despite ordering after.

Excellent service, delicious and fresh, well prepared and presented. Devine environment, both romantic and relaxing, not super loud, you can actually enjoy a conversation. We will be back. The Mac and cheese rivals that of Mike's Farm, aka it's absolutely amazing. The steak is the best I've had in New Bern ever(37 years). Absolutely great work chef and staff!

Wonderful place to have a romantic dinner. Lindy, our waitress was fabulous. Cedric, who was the chef that evening did a fabulous job. Our food was cooked to perfection. This should be your first choice for dining when you come to to New Bern. We ate there tonight and will go back tomorrow!

We were in town for my wife and sister's birthday. We made reservations with specific instructions for our dinner. I spoke with Cassy, I believe, to make the arrangements. She assured us our experience would be pleasant and delivered. After an afternoon of boating we walked over from B dock and made first contact around 3:30ish with the blonde bartender on duty. She was pleasant and made us feel welcome even though we were early for our 4pm reservation. We were then greeted by our server whose name started with a T. I can't remember the full name. However, she was very pleasant and attentive. She even moved us from the side of the deck with too much sun to the more shaded side and set the table to my requested specifications, including fresh flowers and name cards for the birthday girls. She was consistently attentive and genuine. The food to our expectations and timely. I enjoyed the Seafood Risotto! Our entire party was pleased and will definitely return. We referred the Confluence to our marriage ministry at church and will be back in November. Thank you for being a part of a wonderful weekend in New Bern NC!

The oh so heavenly, spicy truffle Calamari is just one of the strokes of genius by Executive Chef Tony and his team of Chefs Lein, Cedric and Kirk at the Confluence Riverfront Restaurant in the DoubleTree Hotel. The inspired menu, exquisite preparation and engaged waitstaff make this restaurant a standout in New Bern. And, being served on the spacious deck overlooking the Marina is an extra treat. There are so many winners on this menu, but you have to try the Three Spats Oysters, and the Verlasso Salmon on a bed of perfect risotto. Also, did I mention the Calamari? It’s the best EVER! As a world-traveled former chef, I can say that with conviction. Confluence definitely deserves your attention.
