We love this iconic restaurant and bar. The food is always great and the staff and vibe are great. Wish they would bring back the truffle fries but was told by the server they changed the menu. Otherwise it is excellent all the way around!

We always love the great food and service here in this historic restaurant. Don’t let the fact that it is popular with tourists fool you. The food is great and the portions are generous and usually shareable for brunch which is great. We are locals much of the year and always make it a point to come here. Always fun and delicious.

I recently visited this restaurant with my elderly parents, who were visiting me. Unfortunately, what should have been a nice dinner turned into an extremely unpleasant experience. When we arrived, the music was blaring so loudly that it was physically uncomfortable and we could barely hear one another speak. We were the only customers in the restaurant, yet the volume was completely unreasonable. I immediately explained to the bartender, who was standing near the hostess stand, that the music needed to be turned down or we would not be able to stay and eat. He told me he needed to speak with the manager. The manager then arrived, and rather than addressing the situation professionally, the manager, bartender, and hostess began gossiping about us directly in front of us. They ultimately agreed to turn the music down, and we decided to stay. Unfortunately, after we ordered and our food was brought to the table, the music was turned back up extremely loud. At that point, it felt as though our concerns had been deliberately ignored after we had already committed to staying and ordering. What was especially upsetting was the combination of the staff discussing us openly in front of us and then allowing the music to become excessively loud again. We were there with elderly parents and simply wanted to have a comfortable dinner where we could actually hear each other talk. As a Miami Beach local, I find this particularly disappointing. We were literally the only customers dining at the restaurant, so I would have expected the staff to make some effort to provide a welcoming experience and accommodate a very reasonable request. In hindsight, we should have simply left when the situation first occurred. I hope management takes this feedback seriously because the way this was handled was unprofessional, disrespectful, and completely unnecessary.

We had a reservation for Sunday brunch in the terrace but the noise level was so loud and we were adviced to seat indoors instead which was not the plan. I ordered eggs Benedict and one of the 2 eggs was completely overcooked "hard boiled", the qtyy of hollandaise sauce was minimum but the potatoes were very well made (they saved the dish). My spouse ordered an omelet and she liked it very much. Our server was either over worked or forgetful since my coffee cup (drip) was never replenished. The sour dough bread is not what I would expect, it may have sourdough as an ingredient but it is not the real thing, don't bother ordering it. Decor inside is dated.

Breakfast at the News Cafe is a family tradition when we're in Miami Beach. While the egg dishes are great, my favorite is the blueberry-pureed yogurt, granola and fruit bowl. Service was terrific too (thanks Elmer)!
