I will start by saying that my opinion is probably clouded by the fact that my two best friends and I flew down from Virginia for the day during a terrible winter storm, leaving 20 degree weather and ice everywhere and our kids all being out of school for two weeks to come down and sit by the ocean in 65 degree sunshine and drink cocktails and eat shrimp. They could have kicked sand in my face and served me cold Taco Bell and I would still have thought it was amazing because we were ECSTATIC to be down here. So take my review with a grain of salt (or sand). I thought the food was FANTASTIC, the service was amazing, the view was what I imagine heaven would look like, and it was pretty much perfection. We arrived at the restaurant just after 11 and were probably the second guests here, so we were seated immediately, after being escorted here by the friendliest members of Eden Roc hotel. Our server immediately brought a carafe of cold water and some menus and adjusted the sun shades so we could take pictures and bask in the sun like lizards. She checked up on us a few times and took our drink orders while we narrowed down what we wanted to eat. We opted for the ceviche appetizer to share, I went with the shrimp tacos, they both chose the birria quesadillas, as well as the Life's a peach, pink bikini, and espresso martini cocktails. The ceviche was so good. We loved how fresh everything tasted, it was definitely the perfect size to share and it was cold and delicious. My shrimp tacos were the best I have ever had and the shrimp was so plump and perfectly seasoned, the veggies were super fresh, and I absolutely devoured them. The birria quesadillas looked and smelled amazing, they were stuffed with filling. The drinks were STRONG. The restaurant does add on a 22% service charge that we had to ask if it was a tip - whether our amazing server got it, or was it something that the restaurant charged or what so we would know if we needed to tip her individually (because 22% is a pretty standard tip I feel, but we didn't want to accidentally tip 44% if she did get it when this was our first of many stops in a resort town...) She did say that she splits it (with the bartenders and hostess I reckon) but I would love it if it said that somewhere so we didn't have to feel awkward asking. Miami is very much a tourist/visitor town, so definitely has some different policies than we are used to. Overall though, the stunning views and delicious food will definitely have us coming back on our next girls trip. read more

5 stars for comfortable dining by the sea. I mean the view is gorgeous here. We were lucky enough to get one of the booths by the ocean side and it's so relaxing. We came for lunch. The food itself was good. Your usual fair of burgers and such but a little more upscale. Our salad sounded great on the menu but was missing some crunch or something to add. The dressing was really nice though. We ordered the burgers that were pretty good and the truffle fries were excellent. Our spicy margaritas were a hit too. Service was friendly and efficient. I'd definitely return. Especially now with the cooler months coming. We had a lovely time. read more

Located in the Eden Roc Hotel, Ocean Social is located near the beach behind the main hotel building. The views are spectacular, so my friends and I decided to grab light bites and drinks following our check-in to the hotel. We all really enjoyed our drinks, but I must say, the food was lackluster. While the portion sizes were very generous, I eventually found myself eating to get my money's worth (and minimize waste) rather than eating because I was truly enjoying the food. read more

Was at a nearby hotel for a work conference and one of our clients wanted to have lunch here. Even though it was the weekend, we were able to get a table pretty quickly. The view of the water was great and there was a nice breeze. Our server was nice and attentive and the food came out quickly. Everyone really enjoyed their dishes. I wound up just getting a salad but it was enjoyable. A bit pricey but it's Miami! read more

While staying at the Eden Roc, my family and I enjoyed brunch at Ocean Social a couple different mornings. I found this post started in my drafts from 2023, and decided to finish it and share! The ambiance is absolutely stunning. You get a great view of the ocean from your table or booth. The decor is beach elegance. Regarding service, I remember the staff being friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed the beautifully presented tropical fruit plate. It was large and filling. The omelette was pretty dry but still decent. The French toast provided a nice sweet treat. The regular side of fruit was standard as expected--obviously not as much of a wow factor as the tropical fruit plate (which was of course expensive). The Cuban breakfast was a tasty choice and was also visually appealing. Everything was pretty good over all, but our star item favorite was the green garden pizza. It's very special and definitely stood out amongst everything we ordered. I look forward to vacationing here again in the future and enjoying Ocean Social. read more

We are staying in Miami Beach at the Nobu Hotel, which seems to have been a makeover of the original Eden Roc Hotel, while the Eden Roc built a larger, modern tower that operates as the Eden Roc Hotel. The two hotels are separate in some ways and joined at the hip in other ways. One way is this on-site restaurant, Ocean Social. Ocean Social serves breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner for both hotels. We booked our accommodations at the Nobu Hotel to include breakfast, which was only available with certain room bookings. There are two breakfast options for this included with our daily room breakfast. One is the lobby location of Cafe Inez, which we have not tried, as that breakfast is basically pastries and coffee, or a full and very extensive buffet at Ocean Social, where the dining area is close to and elevated above the beach strand and with seating that's open to the beach and provides lovely views from morning through evening. If you wish, they also have an adjacent indoor dining area, which is where the buffet is set up. While our hotel room included this buffet, it would otherwise run about $50/person once tax and mandatory tip were added (and about $60/person on weekends due to the more extensive serving time and additional offerings). The buffet breakfast has pretty much all you could ask for in a buffet. There's a charcuterie board, fruit salad, yogurt parfait, oatmeal, scrambled eggs, bacon, chicken sausage, breakfast potatoes, pancakes, French toast, an omelette stand for custom omelettes, breads and bagels (with a toaster), assorted pastry, a variety of accoutrements, and I'm likely still forgetting something. You also get coffee or teas and a variety of juices, all served at your table by friendly staff On weekends they extend breakfast to brunch and add many additional, heartier food choices, including a beef entree (it was a brisket today), fried chicken, baked fish, rice, macaroni salad, empanadas, and more. All we've had was very good by any measure, especially by buffet standards. My single disappointment was on the weekend they replaced the daily pancakes with waffles, which were not so hot, as they were hard. We also had dinner here the day we arrived, due to being tired and short on time, so we dined on premises. We had the bbq ribs and the shrimp tacos that night. Both impressed. Frankly, this is a pretty good and reasonably priced option, at least reasonable by resort standards. If you can get a room the includes the breakfast option, we can highly recommend taking that deal. You will not regret it! Having had breakfast buffets elsewhere, this one was well worth the additional cost of the hotel booking. read more

Ocean Social - View from Ocean Social restaurant - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

4/5 food&drinks, 5/5 experience. incredibly friendly and sweet staff ; the waiter who sat us immediately brought our dog over a water (we were in an empty section near the entrance/exit) and everyone that passed by was obsessed with him which he didn't even notice smh. manz just wanted some calamari (and got)!! Ordered: Pina Colada + Vodka Martinis + a couple of the "Frye & Lime" cocktails + Margherita flatbread + Crispy Calamari + Social Caesar. Looooved that they served the calamari with a bunch of banana peppers! The Caesar salad was the best I've had in a while: punchy dressing, whole anchovies as garnish -- huge fan. All the staff we interacted with were so hospitable and kind. Views are unbeatable if you sit on the side by the water, but nice regardless of where you're seated. Really not understanding the lower score here but maybe we just ordered the perfect standard classics that they do really well and had a great time in general! read more

Astoundingly beautiful ocean front restaurant on Atlantic side of Eden Roc hotel with slightly attitudinal staff and good but pricey food. 5 star ambience: you walk through the swanky midcentury modern glamor of the Eden Roc / Nobu hotel to get to Ocean Social, past the pool area facing the ocean. It is jaw droppingly beautiful, with sleek modern decoration inside and a direct view of ocean in all directions. It gets very crowded at peak times with a sort of mildly rowdy but classy beach party vibe. I went back later when it was fairly empty to get a pic of the design ( we were doing a sort of staycation at the Fontainebleau next door). 4 star service: the service was what passes for good in M Beach tourist areas. Reasonably good with nothing extra, and a mild hint of don't bother me. 4 star food: Food again is good but not great. This is the high rent district, and the food prices are high to match. read more

We made a reservation for a Sunday brunch at 12pm and our reception at the restaurant was very efficient. We got lucky that a table with a splendid view of the ocean was available. The service is super slow and it seems like the staff don't even know you exist! Even a water refill takes forever, let alone taking and serving your order! One of the reasons why is that 20% gratuity is already included in the check, so the staff don't have to put much effort into providing good service. They offer both brunch buffet and à la carte menu. And also bottomless mimosas. We chose "Avocado Toast" and "Ocean Smash Burger". Both of our meals were delicious, but I strongly recommend the "Avocado Toast". I really liked the relaxed vibe and the view here. read more

Visited ocean social while enjoying a day pass at the Eden Rock. The view is stunning and the staff are friendly. Honestly the food and drinks were not great and definitely overpriced. We enjoyed some apps and mains - the burger and tacos are Muhammara definitely not anything to write home about but the dip we had to start was very good. I would say go for drinks and apps but in my opinion the drinks are a bit overpriced for the quality. read more

Best view & vibe on this stretch of Miami Beach. Great to watch the growing twilight embrace the beach. Nice Oceanside dining experience you can access from the beach walk or the Eden Roc hotel. Food was excellent. The Pina colada was lovely to look at and even better to drink with spot-on in refreshing tropical flavor. The calamari was perfectly fried and full of flavor including a nice little hint of heat. Enjoyable with the grilled lemon squeezed over it or dipped into the sauce. The pickled vegetables were fun to sample for something different than my norm, but not something I wanted to finish single-handedly. The shrimp tacos delivered in flavor and texture. A perfect blend of creamy, crunchy and fresh . I had enough to take with me for my lunch. It's convenient to my hotel, so I may be back. The wait staff was friendly and pleasant. However, service was a little slow, which was mitigated by the pleasant atmosphere & view. But I also wasn't expecting a 22% service charge of over $13. I've noticed service charges seem to be the norm in Miami, but I'm not sure if I should have noticed that in fine print on the menu. So, due to the unexpected service charge and lagging service, I'm giving 4/5 stars Still, it's convenient to my hotel, and the food was superior, so I may be back. read more

I love that this restaurant overlooks the beach which is how we happened upon it for an unplanned lunch while heading from off the beach. The service was lack luster. It took way too long to get even a cup of water. The menu was pretty limited. But we were there already. Our server seemed sweet once he finally made his way to us but he wasn't the most attentive at all throughout our stay. Didn't ask about replenishing drinks when the cups ran low, etc. I wasn't in love with the fish tacos either. They were a bit dry and hard to chew. My daughter also had the tacos and agreed she ate them because she was famished, And we love a good fish taco typically. My niece got the burger which she ate less than half of and wasn't in love. All the vibes and aesthetics are there but the service could definitely improve as well as the food. read more

We've loved Ocean Social at Eden Roc for 20+ years -- gym members and regulars -- so it was sad to have a disappointing Miami Spice visit with an out-of-town friend. The host was warm and welcoming, but our server (Arturo Rivas) was brusque -- rushed us, walked away mid-order, then came back insisting we order everything at once with a bitter tone. It felt needlessly hostile, especially since gratuity is automatic. Hoping this was an off night for Arturo -- Ocean Social has given us many great meals and we'd love to see the service return to the friendly standard we know. read more

Tina's take: 7/10 Was staying at Eden Rock Memorial Day weekend, and came here for lunch. We had to wait for Lunch to be served and it seemed like we were bothering them when we asked for a table for 4. The service was slow but we had a nice breeze from the beach. The only thing to be mindful of is the planes constantly going by which is loud. The food was good and the drinks were flowing. This is a good stop if you are apart of the hotel, for connivence. However I would not go out of my way to eat here. read more

We visited this restaurant while we stayed at the Nobu hotel. I was elated that the menu was inspired by Tristan Epps (if I could answer the black power emoji here I would). The restaurant is in the back of the hotel and overlooking the beach although it was super warm outside , they had fans blowing cool air around the entire place. The food was good except for the fish tacos. The fish was overcooked. I would've gave a five star rating but those tacos. Everything else was amazing. All the vegetables on the salad were fresh and the way they incorporated the blue cheese and the dressing was nice. The ceviche was fresh with huge chunks of shrimp and fresh vegetables. The waitress was so nice and helpful with all of her recommendations. I wish I remembered her name. She made the experience extra special (she's from Haiti-please give her a raise). I also like that the manager walked around to each table to introduce herself. read more

This restaurant is such a convenient location if you stay in the Nobu or the Eden Roc hotels. The menu has limited options for food but the food overall are great! Food: I enjoy everything esp the burger. I wish the seasoning has a tad more salt. However, they have sauce that helps with the flavor profile. Food cooked well with delicious French Fries. Our server is super nice and sweet. He recommends most of the food and drinks for us based on our preferences. Ambiance is super amazing. It is right next to the beach with lush garden view. They also have the automatic blind pull down in case it rains so it definitely helps especially during the rainy summer season. Overall, we enjoyed it here and definitely will come back. read more

The food here was average--including a smash burger that featured meat somewhat devoid of flavor--and the bottomless option was so comically under-boozed that I asked our server to start over but let me watch the mix he was pouring into the decanter. (I'm not paying $35 for a bottomless bowl of juice man!!!) But the scene here was nice, and the views of the ocean don't hurt either. For a quality meal, you should go almost anywhere else, but if you are staying at the Eden Roc or another hotel nearby and want to soak it in with other tourists, this isn't too bad, I guess. read more

My husband and I were staying at the Eden Roc and this is the restaurant that serves breakfast there. We booked the hotel through AMEX so we had $60 for breakfast everyday and figured we'd eat at ocean social for breakfast for everyday we were there. Overall, it was good! The first day I got the açaí bowl expecting one the size of a normal smoothie bowl, but it was tiny. Very small. I mean it was good, but definitely not worth the money. I also for the fried egg sandwich and the pancakes. The sandwich was a good sized portion and was delicious! Definitely recommend! The pancakes were also very fluffy and delicious. These were a huge portion- I couldn't even finish them. Every time our food came out quickly and the view of the ocean is amazing. read more

I came here for 2023 Miami Spice lunch ($35/person 3 course meal). I wanted a place that made me feel like I was on vacation even though I live here, and Ocean Social delivered on that. We were warmly greeted when we arrived and quickly sat. The ocean views are gorgeous (way better in real life than my pics). We were outdoors and even though it was an incredibly hot summer's day, the fans kept us reasonably cool. Martha from Nicaragua was our server, and she was friendly and attentive. The food and cocktails were ok. The cocktails had fancy names, but no wow factor to go with it. Plus, they were small and expensive. The star of the dishes we ordered was the mushroom ceviche. The flavors of that appetizer were awesome. The sweet corn carbonara was too rich for a summer lunch menu. The ricotta ravioli was delicious, but the portion was small. The local coastal fish was incredibly bland. The dessert was refreshing, and I really enjoyed the black pepper honeycomb in it. Each course took awhile to come out, making our lunch last about 1 1/2 hours. If you're looking for an express lunch, this might not be the place, depending on the day. Add 22% auto gratuity, and this was a pricey, slightly underwhelming lunch. read more

Stop by here after lounging at the pool & much of the staff standing around were not too engaging. Had to go up to one of them after making eye contact with several servers to check in for our reservations. Finally, I met with the hostess who was welcoming & asked us to wait a bit for our seats. Originally came here to grab a bite with a friend for lunch & I wanted to order off of the Miami Spice Menu but my friend (being vegetarian & very limited to what she can have) wanted to order from the regular menu. We were automatically told no, that both of us need to order from Miami Spice. It was very unfortunate because she would have spent more than the amount being charged for Miami Spice. So, that policy may have to be thinked through in the future - stipulate that if you have a party in your group deviating from the Miami Spice Menu, their order must be of equivalent value or more for what the Miami Spice Menu is offered for... The food was okay. The Sweet Corn Carbonara was overly salted, so it overwhelmed the corn taste. The Smash Burger was slightly undercooked, but the fries were fresh & crispy. Their version of Chips & Dips were delicious yucca fries and tostones with a slightly spicy guacamole & a sweet guava dip. This was my #2 favorite item we ordered. My #1 favorite item was their Summer Fruit Sherbert with a freezed dried black pepper honeycomb. My tongue wasn't sure if it was sweet, savory, tangy, or tingling. This I truly enjoyed. The service was mediocre - while our glasses were never empty (water) & our server came by a few times asking if everything was okay towards the tail end it took them longer than necessary to cash us out. About 20-25 mins to return to our table & clear our bill. All the while, once again, over 7 servers going around the place without addressing a word to us when we made eye contact. I'm not sure if there was a shift change or lunch breaks happening. The ambiance & location of the restaurant was priceless. The view itself is worth a million bucks. However, one of the waiters decided to shift the fan that was circulating the air in our section to point towards a large group that had just arrived & was complaining of the heat. They did the same to another fan that was in an area with no guests. This added a level of discomfort to the experience we had but thankfully as I said earlier the view was fantastic. Plus we were heading back to the pool to relax & digest what we just consumed. Overall, it was a bit lackluster... I'm sure they have some regulars or just the revolving door of patrons from the hotel that helps their establishment. But as a local, I'm not sure if I'll return - possibly just in case this was an "off" day... Food ~ 3 Service ~ 2 Ambiance ~ 4 read more
