The food is excellent, the help is outstanding, courteous and friendly!! we go to Café Bernie's, at least once a week!!

Food was mediocre. Had an avocado salad ... It was small, wilted and tasteless Cuban sandwich very disappointing after being recommended. Save your money & time ... Better places to go in Miami Beach !!! read more

This spot is a hidden gem! It's located in a condo building, we weren't sure we were at the right address first. But they offer free valet with validation from the restaurant, which is unheard of on the beach. Great atmosphere on the water. Friendly service. Drinks were on point, I'd recommend the espresso martini. Food was delicious, everyone in our group loved their meal. I got the chowder which was mouth watering, didn't leave a single spoonful behind. Will definitely be returning for more. read more

Another fantastic, delicious meal at Café Bernie. Our wait staff Jackie was the best--extremely attentive, super friendly and efficient. It is a beautiful place, overlooking Indian Creek. No table outside has a bad view. I take all of my out-of-town guests to Café Bernie and they love it! In fact, we plan to go tomorrow for Taco Tuesdays! read more

This is an electric waterfront restaurant. We were looking for a quick bite to eat so left our hotel and found Bernie. You have a nice waterfront view to watch the boats and enjoy the beautiful weather. The service was great, we even met Mr. Bernie! I liked the event tic decor it provided for a lot of great photos. As a vegetarian I ordered the Beyond Burger. I was thrilled to see it on the menu as it is always a great option for a starving vegetarian. read more

This place deserve 10 star review, food is amazing service it's amazing and the location It's amazing perfect place to eat with family

We stayed across the street for several weeks and this was one of our favorite places in the area. They have a great outdoor patio that overlooks Indian Creek and is nicely sheltered from the wind. It's very pleasant to sit out there in the evenings and have a meal and drinks. The food is very good with a nice selection of items. We really liked the tuna and avocado ceviche as a starter. The avocado salad is also really good. For the entrees we liked everything we tried, but our favorites were the grilled salmon and the grilled mahi mahi sandwich. They seem to have specials most nights and we enjoyed trying some of the fresh fish specials that they had. The service is fantastic. Everyone is very friendly, helpful and the staff seem to assist each other in helping out all tables, even if they aren't in a particular server's section. Our server on a couple occasions was Jackie and she was so helpful in explaining the menu and checking in with us frequently to see if we needed anything. She also gave us some recommendations which we were very happy with. We're going to miss going here now that our trip is coming to an end but look forward to coming back again someday. read more

My husband and I were here at the end of February 2024. To say the least it was...wow! We sat outside under cover. There were some sunny spots also. My husband ordered the Cuban sandwich and I ordered mango cream cheese stuffed French Toast. The way the flavors melded with both dishes was amazing!!! Our waiter Iggy was on top of everything we needed and he makes a great drink!! read more

We visited on a recommendation. From the minute we sat down, we knew it was going to be a good experience. The service was impeccable, the setting on the ocean, perfect and the food was great. The cerviche to start, grouper sandwich, the fried rice and roast chicken, all perfect. The ambiance, just enough music, made the night memorable. We'll be back read more

Wow! One word to describe this place is WOW! Jax wad a pleasant and tentative server. She immediately greeted us, told us about the specials and actually took a minute to ask us a few questions to get to know what we liked. My friend and I ended up ordering the Mango Bang shrimp. Practically licked the plate! The shrimp were big and juicy and fresh and cooked just right to where they had a little bit of a crunch and then a plump juicy bite. Topped with the amazing mango bang sauce. I mean, Yum! I ordered the lobster roll with yucca fries. Amazing! Delicious! Not skimpy on the lobster and the bread was soft and fresh. Not a crumb left on my plate! My friend ordered the seafood soup and a house salad. Her soup was generously full of mussels, shrimp, calamari and scallops. We ended the meal with a slice of guava cheesecake. To. Die. For! We've been in Miami for five days now and this has been, hands d8wn, the best restaurant we've tried. The food was fabulous and Jax was an amazing server. She actually cares about the quality of service she provides to her customers and is proud of the food she serves. She was also very knowledgeable about the food and made excellent recommendations! It's a nice little space with seating inside or out. We sat outside in the nice covered space overlooking the waterfront. The plants were beautiful and added a nice relaxing tropical vibe. The music was fitting to the experience. The tables weren't so close together that it made it feel crowded either. Overall, the entire experience was absolutely perfect! Definitely recommend and definitely will come back! read more

This was the best restaurant we went to while staying in Miami. Their outdoor seating was beautiful, it was right on the water. We had a bigger party, but they were able to seat up immediately and prepare our food very quickly. The owner and our host were super friendly, we even took a picture with them! Everyone enjoyed their meals. We started off with a few appetizers, we had the guacamole tostados and the mango bang shrimp. They guac tostados was so flavorful, it had some sort of cream that added lots of spice. I am not a sea food lover, but I tried the shrimp and it was the best I'd ever had. For my entree I got the beyond burger. This was also amazing, the guacamole on top of the patty was the best part. I definitely recommend coming for a nice dinner if your in the area!! read more

Amazing! From the ambiance, friendly staff, atmosphere, and delicious food -- it was a great experience. Located inside of a hotel, you can view the vibrant and unique artwork of local artists on the walls on your way over to Cafe Bernie. Pleasant outdoor dining. The prosciutto pizza and churrasco skirt steak were delicious. read more

Food was delicious & portions are plenty. Service is excellent. We will be back to enjoy more of the menu.

This place is amazing. The customer service was on point and they are welcoming. The food was fresh and hot when it came to the table. I definitely recommend. It is a nice place to get lunch and drinks. It looks very luxurious. You have a choice to sit at the bar, table, or on the outside deck. The deck has a great view of the water. Also, it did not take long for the food to come to the table. read more

Honestly, I feel like this restaurant's service has declined recently. The past two times that I went here, I made a reservation and was waiting at the host stand for at least 10 minutes before I was even acknowledged or helped. The first time, once seated we did not receive service for almost 30 mins. We sat there with water and plantains. So my friend and I just got up and left. We tried to come in again for taco Tuesday, also made a reservation, and it was the same thing. Was not acknowledged or greeted at the host stand for 10 minutes. I've worked in the restaurant industry all my life and know how important it is to make sure that you have someone to greet the guests. The waitresses are running around, seeing me waiting at the door, yet did not even acknowledge my existence and kept doing whatever. A simple, "we will be right with you in one moment" would have made all the difference. It's a small place, there really is no reason for guests to not be greeted in a timely manner. read more

Agree that it's a "hidden gem" in mid-Beach, and glad we tried this place out. Waterside dining, varied menu that includes fish, pasta, burgers and veggie/vegan options. Highly recommend the Cuban-style cauliflower steak and my friend enjoyed the seafood linguine. Reasonably priced and in a relaxed, pretty setting made for a lovely meal. Glad to have some great dining options not in crowded South Beach and this is definitely worth trying. read more

Great customer service delicious food! Jacks and Manana were Awesome!!! Beautiful views on the water!! Lobster tails and key lime pie were the best!! Obviously a local favorite, I met a few nice people from the Miami area!! read more

Went here on a Sunday for a family member's birthday. We were a group of about 10, so we had made a reservation a few days prior. When we arrived Sunday, there was 0 wait time. They had our table set up and ready. Jose was our server. He was AMAZING. The ambiance here is AMAZING as the restaurant is in a building and also on the water. Beautiful views outside and inside has a very classy feel. The food is DELICIOUS. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. read more

Great spot.. beautiful ambience.. outdoor dining on the intercoastal. Food is excellent.. very enjoyable.. highly recommend this place.

Great location and food! A wonderful place with an attentive staff- We had a great brunch

Great setting, delightful servers and good food when 3 x in a week while at Miami Beach for a congee

Came for the crab cakes, stayed for the fries! You would think by virtue of the name alone, that Miami Beach would have an over abundance of waterfront eateries. But in reality, waterfront property is so valuable, that there are only a handful of truly waterfront restaurants. But lucky for us, Cafe Bernie made their debut last night. Strategically situated between the gardens and Intracoastal waterway outside the 5600 Condominium, this new cafe offers views from all angles. They just opened, so we haven't had the opportunity to try everything, but last night everyone raved about their entrees. Tip: if you are a connoisseur of french fries, no matter what you order, be sure to get a side of Bernie's hand cut fries. read more

Great place on the intercoastal. Friendly and excellent staff as well as the food being delicious

The mussels in broth were the best I ever had. The broth was creamy and beautifully flavored. Decent sized portions too. Just needed enough bread and it was divine. Came here for a quick lunch and everything was delicious! We also tried the lobster fritter and Caesar salad, both of which were wonderful. Friendly service and gorgeous patio. Definitely a go-to spot! read more

The food was soooo good I forgot to take pictures great service too!! Amazing ambience and environment for your dining experience. I appreciated our hospitality service from Jackie so much, she is lovely. We dined here TWICE. That's how much we loved it during our traveling. Will be back when we visit Miami next time read more

I was craving soup, so I convinced my friends to come here for dinner with me. The views, first of all, were gorgeous--we're considering returning just to be able to sit by the water at sunset. The chowder, too, was delicious, with large helpings of mussels, scallops, and shrimp. Definitely recommend a visit if you're in Miami Beach! read more

Food was incredible view is beautiful. Service was okay but I think he was just new. Got the steak and greek salad. Both incredible.

Had the fish and chips, Greek salad and the seafood chowder. Food was excellent and service personable and professional. The restaurant is located in a condominium building with no street signage, but it is open to the public. Great view. This is a true hidden gem. You will not be disappointed. read more

I went there on Christmas Eve which was a Saturday around noon. They only gave the brunch menu on the weekend all day. This did disappoint me somewhat since the menu is limited and for lunch. The setting is nice for sitting outside but it was a cooler windy say. The waitress was informative. We tried the Croquettes fish and cheese appetizer. The had a nice crust and rich filling. Since we were not interested in the breakfast part of the menu, we mainly had sandwiches to try. Overall good quality fried grouper sandwich, soft shell crab sandwich and fried chicken sandwich. All come with sides so tried the fried plantains and fries. Overall good experience. In the future would like to return on non brunch menu day and on god weather days so we can sit outside by the water. read more

This is an amazing establishment. We were not sure where to go for dinner and saw them when we searched on another dining app. So glad we decided on this place. Staff is very friendly and our server, bartender was so welcoming and knowledgeable and was a joy to talk to. As first timers to Miami Beach he was a great ambassador for this city and gave us some good tips on things to do and see while hear. The food was fabulous, I had the Faraoh Island Salmon and my wife had the Maha Mahi Sandwich. The Best Key Lime Pie I've ever had and my wife got the churros and was very happy with them. We will be back before we had back home late this week. read more
