Caribsea

Went tonight for my birthday & they did not disappoint. For appetizers we had the fresh bread & mussels, drinks were teas & a tin can. Entrees we had the duck with pork belly, jasmine rice & mixed veggies & the beef medallions with mushroom risotto, blistered tomatoes & asparagus. Dessert we took tiramisu to-go. Everything was delicious! The server was exceptionally great & attentive. The atmosphere was calm & efficient & the restaurant was clean & seemed to be running drama free. Very relaxing environment with fantastic food & service. Definitely a place worth trying if you haven’t been & worth going back. Thanks!

Our new go-to place for exceptional local dining. We were warmly welcomed upon arriving and experienced attentive hospitality throughout our dinner. The general manager and the owners engaged with us to ensure we had everything we needed. The wait staff were equally impressive as were our meals. Hands-down the best crab-cakes ever! Impressive bar and wine list! I can't wait for the new expansive bar to open! The roof-top bar has the best views on the island! A true four-season experience for locals and guests alike on our little island paradise!

I can't begin to say how great Caribesa is! I reserved a table for a small wedding reception. When we arrived they had given us a private area. The entire staff is friendly and kind. Our server was a rockstar and did the most amazing job. The chef is so talented and made the most exquisite food, beautifully presented. I could go on and on about the restaurant and how great it is. If you haven't been you must go you won't regret it.

Very nice place, good fine dining, friendly atmosphere and staff, and clean. Update: The first review was in 2021. This review is dated for 8/22/23. I first want to say Thank you to Michael for accommodating my family and I. We were about to leave due to the young lady at the entrance saying their wasn't any tables and we could sit at the bar or she has a table which must be given back at 7:15 pm it was already 6:23 pm she wasn't friendly, she didn't ask how many was with us and she just stared blankly at us. I realize some people reserve tables but we have never been treated in that manner before at this restaurant in the past nor any other. I know everyone who came in before nor after had reservations. I picked up a lie in my spirit but I'm thankful for Michael assisting us. The next visit we will reserve our time. I did not want to take away a star due to what happened because the food was so delicious and we couldn't eat everything so we carried the remainder home. My entire family was excited about our trip and we planned to eat at Caribsea before we came to emerald isle. I'm so thankful we weren't disappointed. Also our server was a very nice gentleman he did an excellent job taking our orders, explaining everything, making sure we had everything and was ok. My order did get undercooked and he made sure they cooked it longer because he did let them know how I desired it cooked. I'm very grateful for our server and the cooks are amazing. Updated pictures on this visit begin with the shrimp and the oysters you'll see again its one of our favorite appetizers. The surf and turf steak and crab with potatoes and asparagus was beyond amazing as well. It was a special for the evening.😋

The restaurant is on the third floor and also has a rooftop bar when the weather is cooperating. This is a fine dining experience. You can add shrimp, scallops or crabcakes to a steak if you want the surf and turf experience. Everything we've had here is excellent. I've never been much of a scallop person but I am when I eat here. The scallops are the best I've eaten.
