Barbara Vicknair2024-04-13The getting figgy with it toast was very light and oh so tasty. The service was magnificent. The atmosphere reminded me tv show Cheers. We loved it and will visit often. We went around 6:30PM
Vicki Darmody2024-04-13I Love quaint smaller Restaurants where you don't feel rushed. And the help, when caught up, are so friendly to visit with. After telling them I didn't care for Sweet drinks the bartender put together a Raspberry Basil Dragonfruit drink made with Rum. It was fabulous. I had Caprese Toast and it was delightful. The price point spot on, that makes it a frequent spot for me! I'm hoping some outdoor seating is in the future, not only my liking but this town is "Pup Haven" and I think walkers will enjoy a refresher with there dog having some fresh cool water!!! If you dont slip this on as one of your stops I think you'll be missing the Small Town Atmosphete that New Bern is all about. Also, easy walking from any of the Hotels or B&B's offered too! And with luck you'll get to see how a small town handles the Rail system (that too very unique). So slip in a light Lunch and finish enjoying the area!!!
Tracey Hester2024-03-29We went in for some specialty tea, got a cute little history lesson and some really nice conversations. Staff is sooo nice! We will be back in morning for some brunch !
JoAnne L2024-03-28I will be adding The Old Pinnix to my weekly haunts downtown. The open face sandwich concept is perfect for those of us who like lighter fare. Filling, but not heavy. The ambiance is simple and cozy, and the drinks are excellent.
Chad Crom2024-03-21So glad we found this gem 💎 Will be back many more times. Toast is the future ,simple and delicious 😋
Deneen Banks2024-03-18I’ll definitely be back, very clean and I had the best waiter! I got the Butterfly Pea Tea and Getting' Figgy With It Toast which I highly recommend as they pair very well together. It was so delicious!
Gerald Cessna2024-03-01Came here with a coworker for a light dinner. We had the prosciutto and caprese toasts and drinks. The toasts were amazing! Incredibly well balanced and flavorful. My glass of house wine (of which they have a fine selection) was tasty and my colleague enjoyed his cocktail very much. All in all an excellent place to stop for a relaxing evening.
