    We had a great experience on the patio with Jackie! We had the fish and lobster. Great wine and cocktails. More quaint and relaxing than the crazy party Miami scene.

    Our experience at Cafe Bernie was terrific. The food was quite delicious…serviche was tangy and tasty…seafood linguine was loaded with seafood…and the pompano fish special was flaky and done to perfection. We were able to sit outdoors and our server (Ricky) took exceptionally good care of us. Highly recommend Cafe Bernie.

    not sure why this service is so so bad. really worst service in all over miami.
    Cafe BernieResponded on May 5, 2025
    Hi there, I’m truly sorry to hear about your experience—it’s very disappointing to read, especially since this isn’t reflective of the service we strive to deliver at Cafe Bernie. We take feedback seriously and would love the opportunity to understand what went wrong. If you could let us know (by replying here) and include the day and time you visited, it would help us look into this further. We genuinely care about every guest's experience, and if you’re willing to give us another chance, we’d love to welcome you back and show you what Cafe Bernie is really about. If you feel your review was too harsh based on a rare off moment, we’d truly appreciate if you’d consider updating or removing it.
