    Lemon drop martini
    TiAja G.

    This is a gorgeous restaurant / bar with a one minuet walk to the beach. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Absolutely gorgeous ambiance. With wheelchair accessibility. The staff were extremely sweet and accommodating. For appetizers we had mozzarella sticks and seafood soup. The mozzarella sticks were as expected. The seafood soup was delicious and all the seafood was fresh. You have an option of a red or white soup base. We chose red it was extremely flavorful it didn't over power the seafood but balanced and enhanced all the fresh seafood in the soup. For entree we had the lobster ravioli which was perfectly made. The sauce was light , creamy , perfectly seasoned , the pasta tasted house made with fresh lobster in it. I cleaned this plate ! Next entree was the salmon and shrimp Alfredo. The Alfredo is 1000 percent house made light , creamy , and coated the perfectly cooked pasta. The salmon was in chunks and the shrimp was great. Lastly we had the pállela which was loaded with seafood. Everything was fresh which is on theme with everything we ate. The rice was well cooked I almost wish it was cooked hard in the bottom for some textural contrast to all the tender seafood but it was amazing regardless. The lemons were great to add some citrus to the dish For drinks my party had virgin blended mango drinks. I ordered a Lemon Drop Martini it was strong and great. Overall amazing experience and please be warned this is a higher class seafood restaurant in Miami with great real estate you will be opening that wallet but it will be worth it if you're a seafood lover.

    Everything on ocean drive is mid. Pallea and seafood pasta both were inedible. You pay for the ambiance of the beach and outdoor space

    Ordered oysters 10/10 & Ocean paella added lobster tail. Good meal to share for two & maybe a child. The meal was good, needed salt or some kind of flavor to it. We got 10% off the total tab for being a hotel guest.

    Food was delicious Try the paella. It wont disappoint Sevice provided by our server Marivel was exceptional

    The ambiance inside is elegant. The waiter we had was prompt and checked on us once. I ordered an Aperol Spritz which tasted watered down, I didn't finish it. My husband had a coke. We started with the Calamari, which we typically get at a lot of the restaurants we visit, it was very chewy and tasted frozen with no flavor. The dinners we ordered were bland and Luke warm. We ordered the Golden Grouper with mashed potatoes and vegetables, and the Fish Piccata with mashed potatoes and vegetables. Both of our dinners were the same, the fish was hot enough but the sides like warm and all lacked flavor. We both left half the food on the plate, which we never do!! All in all we were disappointed because the previous ratings we saw were all very good!

    Fried Calamari, Greek Salad & Frutti di Mare.

    Ocean Drive offers a variety of restaurant options with both indoor & outdoor seating. My family and I were in the mood for pasta & seafood, and Ocean Bistro menu featured a great selection of both. We chose to dine outside, and for starters, we shared the fried calamari and a Greek salad with tomatoes, green bell pepper, cucumber, red onion, Kalamta olives, and feta cheese. My hubby and I both ordered the Frutti di Mare - with fresh calamari, shrimp, mussels and clams, I had mine with the white wine garlic sauce and hubby had his with the red sauce. Our dinner was delicious, and enjoyed the perfect weather and lively beachside atmosphere.

    Fresh and delicious ceviche

    Right across from the ocean, this restaurant is a great find along the main South Beach strip. The food, especially the ceviche, was fresh & delicious, and the service was top notch. Thank you, Millie. I'll definitely be back!

    I was hoping to get breakfast but that had ended so I wasn't too thrilled but to my surprise I really enjoyed the lunch. The brochettes had excellent flavor, and my Greek salad was delicious they use lemon in the dressing which was a good addition to the flavor. We dined outside so I'm not sure of the inside ambiance but I must say the outside chairs were comfortable, the table was decorated with gold and beige colored table set and plates. And the table umbrella provided great shade. The service was good not much interaction due to the language barrier, no issues he got the job done and I don't mind the tip being automatically placed on the bill as long as you carry out the service as you should.

    Maribel was our server and she was so friendly and attentive. She understood the menu and helped us choose the best options for us! The shrimp skewers and Caesar salad were great on top of the grilled octopus it was a perfect meal for two people.

Pretty cool to know that they have been rated as one of the 50 best bars in the WORLD. That's a pretty big achievement to accomplish. Parking can be tricky, you may find street parking. If not you can park at the lot by the beach. Other than that, you should be right on your way to having a great night.

The restaurant has a beautiful outdoor patio with a fun South Beach vibe, and I can see why so many people enjoy spending time there. The service was friendly and attentive, which made for a pleasant experience. Many online reviews also praise the lively ambiance and consistently good service. (Tripadvisor⁠) As someone who doesn't eat meat, I appreciated that there were vegetarian options available. I ordered the avocado toast, which was fresh but fairly ordinary and lacked the flavor I was hoping for. It was good, just not memorable. Overall, The Social Club is worth visiting for the atmosphere, drinks, and people-watching, but I expected more from the food. I'd consider going back for the vibe, though I'd probably try something different from the menu next time.
