Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
News Cafe is a beloved South Beach spot, celebrated for its "exceptional" food and "very good" service. Diners rave about the "succulent" lobster tail, "tender" filet mignon, and delightful breakfast options like Pina Colada pancakes. With friendly staff, including standout service from Juan, it's a perfect place for "wonderful people watching."

    Always a fun experience to sit on the front porch, view the beach, and watch the parade of fashionable and eccentric people on Ocean Drive, South Beach. A must-do here.

    Amazing chicken sandwich! Great view of the beach. I was able to make a reservation while I was on the beach then walk to it right off of it. Great place with great staff and good history.

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at News Café, and I must say, it was a delightful experience! I ordered the grilled snapper, filet mignon, and lobster tail, and each dish was exceptional. The grilled snapper was perfectly seasoned, offering a light and refreshing flavor that left me wanting more. The filet mignon, tender and juicy, was cooked to perfection, making every bite a true indulgence. As for the lobster tail, it was a standout – succulent and rich, it added a touch of luxury to the meal. Beyond the wonderful food, the staff at News Café were friendly and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed throughout our visit. Their excellent service truly enhanced the experience. Overall, I highly recommend News Café for anyone looking to enjoy delicious food in a welcoming atmosphere!

    We had an amazing experience today; Juan was our server, and he was on point. His suggestions were great. We got the tomatoes and burrata to start, and he also directed us to the salmon poke bowl and the chicken parmigiana. We finalized with the bread pudding. This has been one of the best experiences and a great way to start the year. We will definitely be back.

    This restaurant provides terrible service. We booked a table and were only offered a special New Year's Eve menu on the spot, offering no alternative. After consuming 5 menus (more than 100$ per person) they sent us away so that we wouldn't stay for New Year's Eve! Very unpleasant service and always trying to cut corners. The drinks we ordered at the beginning, which were on the menu at 17$/each, cost 27$/each. Very bad and I don't recommend it at all. How can you treat customers who pay almost 700$ for dinner like that! And with this attitude no tip was left, which made the employee even more unpleasant. Unfortunate!
