About Local House

Local House is a seafood-focused brunch and coastal dining destination set inside a boutique hotel on Ocean Drive in Miami Beach's South of Fifth neighborhood. Italian-owned and operated since 2012, the restaurant pairs a chic, ocean-themed dining room and breezy outdoor terrace with a menu built around fresh, local ingredients: lobster rolls, oysters, lobster eggs benedict, and craft cocktails headline a lineup that spans breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner.

Expect a casual yet trendy atmosphere with table service, a full bar, and Ocean Drive views just steps from the sand, making it equally suited to a lazy weekend brunch, a happy hour stop, or a celebratory group meal. Prices land in the moderate $$ range, and the vibe skips South Beach's louder tourist traps in favor of a more relaxed, neighborhood feel that still welcomes visitors.

Whether you're a local searching for your new weekend ritual or a traveler looking for one of the best brunch spots in South Beach, Local House delivers fresh coastal flavors with genuine hospitality.
