    Chilaquiles Flight with side salad and horchata iced coffee
    Jessica R.

    I had the chilaquiles Flight - it included a red salsa, green salsa and smokey salsa. The red salsa didn't have much flavor but the green and smokey salsas were tasty. The horchata iced coffee was good and the side salad was really good with the citrus vinaigrette. Overall it was pretty tasty! The service was great and the restaurant had a modern feel.

    Veggie Potatoes with chorizo added

    New place still working out the kinks. Greeted with mini churros which were so yummy! I ordered the veggie potatoes with chorizo. It definitely needs more veggies--there were just a few small pieces. It also didn't come with cheese, which would've helped the flavor. I asked for sour cream, and they brought what they said was crema, but it was basically whipping cream. I also tried the small yogurt bowl, which was delicious! My kids loved their food too, and the coffee was really good. All of the fruit was super fresh and flavorful. My husband got the chocolate banana crepes. He said the crepes were great and the bananas were caramelized perfectly, but he was disappointed they used Hershey's syrup, especially considering how expensive the dish was. Our server was just okay, but not very attentive, and we had to flag down someone else for water and coffee. That said, the manager comped us and genuinely listened to our feedback. Another staff member (maybe a supervisor?) was very kind and helpful. We'll definitely give them another try

    Made a reservation to come here on a Sunday morning at 11 AM. Upon arrival, I was seated immediately. My server Nick came over and greeted me right after I sat down and brought me menus. They brought warm churros to the table and you could tell they were homemade. Very tasty. I ordered an avocado and eggs bowl that came with red potatoes and I added. Chicken. My friend got blueberry pancakes and she said they nice and soft. The server was always checking in on us and even gave us separate checks which makes every meal out awkward when it can't be split. I will be back!

    The flight

    First time here, very friendly service and welcoming one of the only restaurants that are open for lunch on Monday too! I got the chilaquiles flight, three different salsas an egg over each of them... it was made to share... and share I did not. I ate the whole thing. Just devoured it.. cute decor on the inside clean too, great cup of coffee with fresh cream. I'll be back

    Part of the early lunch crowd.

    Once again we were searching for a family owned restaurant with good reviews that we had not been to. What a pleasant surprise to find The New Cafe & Bistro that opened July 2026 across the street from the Racine post office. We were greeted as soon as we walked in. Relaxed atmosphere, great service & food. Haley was our server. She was fantastic. Stop in and say 'hi' to the owner Alan. Great guy with years and years of experience managing restaurants around Milwaukee.

    I am so glad I was able to experience The New Cafe which occupies the space where Dewey's was. The food was fantastic. We were there for brunch and our server Yasmin was wonderful. The place was slammed but Yasmin was literally running from one end of the restaurant to the other. She did everything either a smile and the most positive attitude I've experienced in recent memory. I had the birria bagel which was outstanding. I can't wait to return.

    The food was horrible, very bland. The mimosas were also bad. The best thing was the side of fruit.

    Cozy Atmosphere, Great Service, But Food Could Improve…read more This small, charming spot has a lot of potential, but the experience was a bit mixed. The service is friendly, with two servers managing both the indoor and outdoor tables. They were attentive and quick to address any issues. When my husband's meal came out overcooked with burnt potatoes, they offered a replacement dish and even gave us complimentary beignets, which was a nice gesture. However, the food quality didn't quite match the price point. My chorizo omelet was flavorful but a bit overcooked, and while I appreciated the rosemary potatoes, the cheesy potatoes were just weird--definitely not what I expected. The coffee was a little weak for my taste but did have a pleasant flavor. As for the kids, this isn't the most family-friendly place. There's no dedicated kids menu, and while I loved the blue-beary pancakes, they didn't appeal to my little ones. We ended up ordering extra plain pancakes just to keep them happy. This spot is cute and could be a great brunch place to eat if you get the right dishes prepared correctly. I'd recommend it, but with some caution, especially if you're dining with kids or are particular about your food being cooked just right.

The restaurant is quite spacious and located on the second level of the building. There are options to sit inside, outside but covered, or outside. The marina and Lake Michigan add the experience with great views from the deck area. Our server was very nice. She was super attentive, and we really appreciated her checking back in for refills, napkins, etc. The food was actually the highlight of my experience. I got the garlic shrimp skewers which came with a Hawaiian roll, Cole slaw and a side (I chose a baked potato). My partner got the prime rib dip with hush puppies. Didn't have a chance to take a pic of the cheese curds before they were devoured! Only downside is the place is VERY noisy. Everytime someone who move a chair, the scraping sound was otherworldly. They are metal chairs on a concrete/gravel flooring. Not ideal. And waitstaff was constantly dropping things and running into each other or the chairs/tables. That was a bit chaotic. However, the food was great and so were the views. They also have live music (they had wrapped up before we got there today). I'd definitely come back (maybe sit inside near an area where you can look out on the lake).

The food is pretty standard with a few items that are different from your normal restaurant fare. We chose the vegetable bowl with grilled chicken added which we found to be quite tasty and truly enough to feed two people. They do have one issue if you're sitting outside. The speaker system for background music is quite annoying and has some kind of problem, it's all bass and it similar to having that annoying car somewhere around you at a traffic light with that deep bass sound coming and seemingly vibrating things. I wish they would fix it or just turn it off. Otherwise 5 stars....
