The Local House: Famous for Brunch, a Hidden Gem for Dinner

Renowned for our iconic brunch, The Local House is also one of Miami Beach’s best-kept secrets for dinner. Located in the chic South of Fifth neighborhood, just steps from the ocean, we offer a Hamptons-inspired escape with a coastal twist.

By day, enjoy our famous lobster omelet or fluffy pancakes in a breezy, relaxed setting. By night, the atmosphere transforms into an intimate dining experience, with Chef Brian’s standout dishes like the Chickenetta—a creative fusion of crispy porchetta and tender chicken—and fresh-catch seafood that captures Miami’s vibrant flavors.

Dine al fresco on our charming backyard patio or in our cozy indoor space, perfect for any occasion. Whether you’re a local or visiting Miami, The Local House is where coastal charm meets unforgettable cuisine.

📍 Moments from Ocean Drive and South Pointe Park, we’re ready to welcome you. Reserve your table today!

    We had dinner with our teenage kids. The meals were absolutely delicious! We ordered seafood risotto, steak, veal, pasta pesto and chicken entrees. They also had good wine choices. Very nice ambience, good service. I was a bit surprised that the place wasn’t as packed as some restaurants above the 5th Street given the atmosphere and the quality of food.

    Ama was great. She serves us the last time we visited. We love coming here before we go to the beach. Food and drinks are exceptional.

    Unfortunately the calamari appetizer was tasteless and the sauce almost like ketchup. Our entrees arrived before we had time to complain about that, and they were both heavily over sauced. A woman who appeared to be the manager offered us a free dessert when we did inform her of our disappointment but never followed through. Was one of our South Beach faves but will never go back.
