MIAMI - It's easy, breezy oceanfront dining outside the iconic Eden Roc Hotel on Miami Beach. At the helm of Ocean Social is Trinidadian-born Chef Tristen Epps, formerly executive chef at Red Rooster. He says the vibe is in the name.

"So, us having like one of the only really ocean-view restaurants. It's the vibe, it's just chill. It's like you're hanging out in your backyard with a bunch of friends, and your backyard is the beach," Epps said.

But don't be fooled by the relaxed ambiance; his cuisine is seriously chef-driven. Epps, recently named a James Beard Foundation semifinalist for the Best Chef South Award, uses his roots and experience in travel as the backbone to his seafood-driven menu.
