   Ate there twice - brunch and dinner. Eggs Benedict were runny, hardly cooked. Chicken roulade was a block of dried chicken.

   Review for The Local House The Local House was an excellent choice for breakfast! We started off with the tuna tartare, followed by a delicious pancake with blueberries, and the Ocean Benedict – each dish was full of flavor and beautifully prepared. The atmosphere was just as charming as the food, with a cozy sidewalk patio on Ocean Drive, right beneath a boutique hotel. The small, intimate setting made for a relaxing and pleasant experience. Our server, Ama, was fantastic – attentive and friendly, adding to the overall great service. Whether you're in the mood for breakfast, brunch, or lunch, this is definitely a spot to visit. Highly recommended!

   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.
