About Local House

Local House is a beloved Italian-owned brunch and seafood restaurant at 400 Ocean Drive, tucked into the South of Fifth neighborhood of Miami Beach. Open daily since 2012, this oceanfront gem has earned a devoted following for its signature Lobster Eggs Benedict, fresh oysters, lobster rolls, and craft cocktails — all served on a breezy outdoor terrace steps from the Atlantic.

The casual yet chic setting draws both locals and tourists looking for a relaxed, unforgettable morning meal without the pretension of fancier Ocean Drive spots. Bottomless mimosas, ricotta pancakes, and a shrimp ceviche bowl round out a menu that balances comfort and coastal freshness.

With a 4.5-star Google rating from over 1,700 reviewers, a TripAdvisor Travelers' Choice award, and an OpenTable Diners' Choice recognition, Local House has firmly cemented itself as Miami Beach's top brunch destination.

Happy hour runs Tuesday through Sunday from 4–6 PM, and dinner service extends through the week on select days.
