Fodor's Expert Review Cypress Hall

New Bern
Modern American
Fodor's Choice
Chef Ashley Moser's open kitchen at this magnificent, brick-walled, fine-dining hall (it's arguably the best restaurant in a 100-mile radius) generates intensely pleasant flavors, from the charred octopus with pea and mint romesco to the kimchi pork belly and mushrooms, served as a wrap with Bibb lettuce. The wine list is excellent, but don't overlook cocktails like a margarita that's crowned with sea-salt foam.
