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!

    This restaurant had one of the best menu in Miami; they decided to focus on pricy main courses leaving the rest of the menu close to no savor or no effort. Very sad strategy.

    Excellent meal. Small menu with both unique and familiar items. Food was fresh and perfectly prepared. Portion sizes are just right. Service was gracious and attentive. Delicious cocktails. It is just a block off of the main strip, making it much more intimate and quiet than the big, touristy restaurants in South Beach,

    We enjoyed our meal more than the couple we were with. Did. We ordered the branzini, the bucatini, and the potatoes with shaved truffle. We also ate oysters. Oysters everything was prepared well and tasted fresh. Service was lacking and as I said our friends did not care for their meals. I know one ordered a salad and one ordered the osso buco. But all in all for a last minute valentine's Day reservation they did pretty well

    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.
