Christoph's on the Water is widely appreciated for its scenic waterfront location and inviting outdoor seating, making it a favored spot for relaxation and social gatherings. Guests frequently highlight the enjoyable atmosphere, lively entertainment, and quality drink offerings as notable strengths. However, feedback on food quality is mixed, with some menu items receiving praise while others fall short of expectations. Service is a common concern, particularly during busy times, with reports of slow or inattentive staff and inconsistent table management. Despite these issues, the combination of ambiance, views, and a fun crowd often makes it a popular destination for both visitors and locals alike.

We go practically every other weekend during their deck party season. Some food items are great and some are just ok. The drinks are great. The atmosphere and entertainment (especially Alisha Mike) are fabulous. The crowd is ⁹lots of fun. There is dancing if the music is right. The service is slow due to the crowd. Need better appetizers that are finger food.

We stayed at Double Tree for a week in June, Christoph's is the bar and restaurant in the hotel. A great little bar, with outdoor seating and great views over the grand marina. A perfect place to come and get a drink and a meal and relax. Definitely worth the views. Staff are friendly and helpful. Ample parking close by and one block from town.

Never received any service. Walked into the restaurant and the host told us to sit anywhere, we chose the deck. We sat on the deck for fifteen minutes next to a table with plates with half eaten food on them. Nobody ever cleared that table or came out to get our order. We walked back into the restaurant, towards the exit and walked back into the hotel. The host followed us with his eyes and never said anything. The deck was nice except for the decaying food. Five stars.

Very relaxing. We sat out on the deck and enjoyed the beautiful view and a glass of wine.

Great experience. Great food, don't come if you're in a rush but if you are looking to enjoy a meal this is among the best new bern has to offer.

I have never slept so well. That was the most comfortable bed. The comforter and pillows were amazing. I actually ordered some pillows.I loved the breakfast. It was simple with real scrambled eggs. No microwave eggs here!!I’m back for a second week. I love this area!Great staff too!!!

This place is awesome!! Great view of the water and boats while we ate fantastic food. The bartender/server was so nice and an absolute pleasure to deal with. Highly recommend this place. I wish it was closer to home I would definitely go back.
