In 1986, Jerry Amato, chef and proprietor, doubled the already dizzying size of the menu. Now traditional New Orleans dishes like jambalaya and Shrimp Creole line-up next to the po’ boys that Mother’s made famous, such as the Ferdi Special and the debris po-boy (for a history of these and other sandwiches on the Fun Facts page of the website). Breakfast, lunch and dinner items are cooked with fresh ingredients and bold, delicious flavor.

Expertly prepared seafood with Gulf Coast, Mediterranean and Asian influences reflects culinary sophistication never-before seen among Houston’s high-profile restaurant scene.

Chef Bryan Caswell, who grew up along coastal waters and sharpened his culinary skills in water-side hot spots from New York to Hong Kong and Barcelona to the Bahamas, pairs a passion for pristinely fresh fish with the rainbow of flavors and textures of locally grown produce. Coupled with Caswell’s Jean Georges-taught culinary savvy, the resulting oceanic menu is cleverly diverse.

In December of 1988 Mark Soyka and Jeffrey Davis opened News Cafe, a quaint sidewalk cafe newsstand and bookstore at the corner of 8th Street and Ocean Drive in the Art Deco District of Miami Beach. The concept was simple: start with a news kiosk and some bookshelves and surround them with tables. Display a selection of local, national and international publications and play a mix of jazz and classical music, serve from a basic menu of salads, sandwiches, desserts, fresh fruit juices and coffees. Offer patrons a European-Style experience...and see how it goes.
