There are a few choices for a good meal near the Adrienne Arscht center, particularly if you're trying to schedule it alongside a Broadway in Miami performance. Teatro has gone through many changes over the years and although the service remains excellent, my latest food experience was disappointing. We tried the smoked Caesar salad which comes in a glass bowl complete with vapors. It was an interesting effect, but I'm not sure it really added that much to the flavor of the salad, dramatic as it was. The smoke was so pungent, however, that it was a bit distracting later on long after that course had cleared. I tried the porcetta which seemed really interesting, but the serving I had was so encased in fat that there was actually very little of the pork that was edible. It was tasty, but it left a gooey, fatty mess on my plate and was really not that appetizing. Finally, we had the chocolate cookie sandwich for dessert. Also underwhelming. I think it's laudable that the restaurant tries new items, but this trio was not up to snuff. I preferred the previous Italian oriented theme from last season. Here's to hoping Teatro will innovate some more and come up with some better combinations. read more

If you're catching a show at the Adrienne Arsht Center, do yourself a favor and book a table at Teatro. This restaurant is not just a pre-show option, it's a full experience. I started with the smoked Caesar salad, and WOW. The presentation alone deserves its own round of applause. There is a nice presentation when it's brought to the table, and the flavor matches the drama, crisp, fresh, and perfectly dressed without being heavy. Easily one of the best Caesars I've had in Miami. My entree was the grilled octopus, and it was cooked perfectly. Tender (no rubbery chew!), beautifully charred, and paired with flavors that complemented it instead of overpowering it. You can tell the kitchen cares about balance and technique. The ambiance inside Teatro feels elegant and warm, exactly what you want before a show. And the service? Fantastic. The staff was attentive without rushing us, If you want a pre-show dinner that actually feels special, Teatro at the Arsht Center is the move. Incredible food, beautiful presentation, and an overall experience that sets the tone for the night. Highly recommend! read more

We ate from the prix fixe before a show at the Arsht Center. The prix fixe menu was varied and the food was very good. The cocktails were a bit pricy, but delicious. read more

Sasha was professional and friendly. The chicken dish was tender and perfectly seasoned. Not a fan of the spicy chocolate dessert but everything else was excellent. read more

I've dined here before a few different shows and have always had an amazing dinner. There are usually some fun drinks themed with whatever show is playing. The menu is prix fixe and reasonably priced--I recommend ordering two appetizers if you're coming as a couple and adding on dessert. The smoked fish dip has a crazy presentation--comes out in a bell jar filled with smoke! Everything we had was tasty. Service is very quick--at the end you may find yourself waiting for the check, though I think this is by design as they don't turn over the tables. Your table is yours all night, so think of it as your private pre-show lounge! Really don't understand the negative reviews for this place. I love it. read more

Teatro is a great pre- post- theatre experience at Arsht Center. Their pre fixe menu still gives you the choices of some exciting appetizers, entrees and desserts. It's only two courses so my wife and I were careful to select an appetizer and entree and an entree and dessert. We shared the appetizer and the dessert. The service was impeccable; the wine list affordable; the ambiance was almost bordello-like- we got a kick out of it. I liked the fact that is was an easy bridge connection over to the Knights Center where we saw Piaf! The Show (which was excellent BTW). read more

Another amazing experience and meal at Teatro before seeing the Wiz! Sasha did an amazing job with our table, she was so helpful with the menu tips and very personable, we had a great time! I love especially the banana bread dessert we got, so warm and comforting. This is now always a must-do for my husband and I before every show. I will never understand the reviews that say there aren't enough dishes to choose from - we always have a hard time narrowing down which to get and even consider getting additional items a la carts! Maybe people just have an issue with the prix fixe style of the menu? In any case, love Teatro and will always support this special place. read more

Loved the experience. Fantastic waiter. Exceptional presentation. Delicious food. Can't wait to go back.

Out of the whole 2025 Broadway season, I finally made it to Teatro on the last show! While the room is beautifully decorated and the service is excellent the menu felt a little limited. I did my research and knew what to expect in regard to the prefixed menu but still had a hard time narrowing something down. We listened to our server's recommendation and one of us chose an appetizer, the other chose dessert. We started with the smoked salmon dip that came out with a theatrical smoked lid, and styled with caviar. It was a little salty for my liking, as if it had finishing salt on top or something. Then onto our mains which was braised short rib and steamed carrots and the skirt steak with truffle potatoes. The star of the show was the guava bread pudding!! Although we did enjoy our meal and experience, I would most likely return once they rotate the menu as the items available are good, but not worth repeating imo! read more

Tania our server was fantastic, she was very friendly and had great recommendations. This is a very cool place to dine when going to the Arsht for a show. The venue is very trendy, it gives cruise vibes. The cesar salad was so good, the steak was perfectly cooked but could have used a little more flavor, but overall very good. I didn't realize it was a pre-fix menu, I wish they would have had more options. read more

The restaurant within the Adrienne Arscht Center. They say service in a restaurant makes all the difference and this place is no exception. I wish I remembered our server's name but she was such a gem. Came with friends on a Saturday to catch the 2pm showing of the Nutcracker. Parking is super hard to get in this area and we originally planned to park around the arts center and go downtown somewhere to eat, but with the struggle of parking, we ended up eating at the Arscht Center so we wouldn't run late to the show. After entering, the staff pointed us in the direction of the restaurant on the second floor of the Ziff Ballet Opera House. The elevator for this restaurant leads straight to it and we were able to dine without a reservation. They recommend dining with them at least 2 1/2 hours before your show be we did this within an hour and half and it was fine. We were one of the first to dine there for lunch and it's a 2-course prix fixe menu. It is on the pricier side, which was expected but it was also well worth it in my opinion. You can choose either an app & entree or entree & dessert. Since there was three of us, we got a little bit of everything. The Thai Coconut Curry mussels & Smoked Salmon Dip were a hit with us. For entrees, their carbonara risotto & brunch burger were great. The interior is elegant and such a great spot for date night (or date day). They set the mood with all red interior and beautiful decor. It really feels like a treat dining here before a show! read more

This is the new in-house restaurant at Arsht Center and what a great addition! It's so hard to find a good place to eat around here and make it to the concert on time, so to have this place right inside Arsht Center for pre-show dinner is incredibly convenient. They have a pre-fixe menu for $52 where you can choose one appetizer and one entree or one entree and one dessert, which is a great deal. And your food comes out in minutes so no need to worry that you won't have time to eat and get to your show. I ordered the lamb osso bucco, which was delicious and topped it off with the flourless chocolate mousse, which was perfect. Great glass of Merlot. Service was prompt and very friendly. The staff, servers, and manager are all incredibly warm and kind. Beautiful space with a bit of glam. It's located on the second floor of the ballet building. And you can take the bridge right from the restaurant to get over to Knight Center, so you don't need to go downstairs to cross the street. read more

BEAUTIFUL restaurant. I could not stop looking at the decor of this place! Especially the ceiling and lights! Decided to visit here with friends before a 2pm Nutcracker show at the Adrienne Arscht Center. We're transported up an elevator to this restaurant conveniently located on the 2nd floor of the Arscht Center. This restaurant offers a fixed menu, where you choose 1 appetizer + 1 entree or 1 entree + 1 dessert for the same price (drinks not included). We came during the brunch menu, but we were told there is a dinner menu as well. Our waitress was very pleasant and made our experience visiting even better. The food is flavorful and with adequate portions so you're not feeling the tired and stuffed during the show. 10/10 would recommend! My favorite is a close tie between the smoked salmon dip and the Thai coconut curry mussels. A must try! read more

This restaurant is a nice addition to the Adrienne Arsht Center. Beautifully decorated to match the opera, the restaurant is very inviting and warm. The service staff was quick and friendly. I'm knocking off one star because the menu they present you with is prix fixe and won't let you order anything from it à la carte. They provide you a separate menu with 5 measly appetizers to choose from and that's it. We didn't want to dine a full meal before a show, and just wanted to order 2 appetizers to share. From the a la carte menu we did choose, the charcuterie board was small and frankly pitiful for $25 but our other appetizer was good (knocked off another star). Overall the service and ambience was great but they could definitely improve in the aforementioned areas. read more

We went to the bar for drinks and appetizers before seeing Pretty Woman last month. The ambiance is just perfect for a pre theatre meal or cocktail. I had the Vivian cocktail, shrimp cocktail and salmon dip. The restaurant will feature special drinks to go with the theme of whatever is playing so it's a really fun and unique experience. I totally recommend Teatro if you arrive early enough before the show. read more

Absolutely one of the best culinary experiences of my life. The service was impeccable. The food was magnificent, sensual, beautiful, and food-gasm worthy. The atmosphere was beautiful and the decor perfect. Lighting, ambience, and an exquisite menu. Can't wait to go back. read more

What a terrible experience. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY. 55 dollars per person plus automatic 20% gratuity no matter the size of your party for frozen food that was NOT prepared very well or any idea of flavor. I should have known this was going to be a bad idea by the plastic stemware on the table. Our server was a delight, offered suggestions and checked in with us often. The restaurant itself looks like it should be serving Chinese food. Whomever is in charge of running this restaurant should resign and close the doors, you are ripping people off with overpriced bad food. read more

Just left the restaurant and that was the first and last time for our family. The risotto was uncooked rice swimming in soup. The potatoes was undercooked. The chicken was dry. The tamal was very dry. The steak was raw instead of medium. Very underwhelming. Not to mention to inflated price for the mediocre food. I regret coming here. Save yourself your time and money. I left hungry despite paying $281 for a family of 4. We order 4 meals and 4 water. read more

Server was great. Very attentive! Food was horrible! Fish dip way too smoky. Presentation had good hopes but it was a whipped smoked dip. No fish. Steak was an up charge to Delmanco - fatter than an elephants butt!!! Having to spilt out pieces is not what an upcharge is meant to be. $175 and regret it. Oh and tip is automatically included. read more

As a Christmas gift our son got us tickets for the matinee for the Cher Show. We decided it'd be a nice treat to have brunch at the restaurant inside The Arsch Center , and boy did we hit it right 100%. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful, very old Hollywood, the decor is exquisite. The food is delicious too. They offer a prefix menu which is perfect in order to make the show on time, yet we did not feel rushed. We ordered a pastry basket that had very refined and delicious pastries. As our entrées we chose the French omelette with caviar and crème fresh, that was amazing as well. Their bar also has very good options for cocktails and wine as well. None of this will have completed the positive experience if it hadn't been for the excellent service provided by our server Marcus. This pre-show dining experience was a great way to start the new year. read more

If you're going to a performance at the Arsht Ctr this is the best restaurant. It's not only for the convenience, but the food is delicious, the ambiance transport you the event and excellent service, even at the bar, Leila the bar tender, went above & beyond to make it a special evening. read more

Great food, great service. Manager Armando exceptional. He is an attention to details guy. Server and Bartender Ila was amazing as was the food. The salmon, tamal stuffed with braised smoke short rib amazing and the key lime pie was to die for. read more

Perfect pre-show dinner. I dined here last month and going again tonight before the ballet. My dining companions and I chose the appetizer plus entree. Service was attentive and on time, for us to make our 7:30 show. The dishes were perfectly cooked and good portions. Also, great decor. Very dramatic with all of the red. I forget what the space looked like before the remodel, but then too it was a great space. Looking forward to tonight. There really isn't much competition in the area, given that a lot is under construction for the highway, and the area is only starting to develop into a destination. read more

The food was delicious! The Cobb Salad is a chopped salad with a tangy dressing, the Piri Piri chicken was flavorful and well seasoned, and the Warm Chocolate Mousse was a show stopper! The service was impeccable and we were well attended to. The beautiful red decor was stunning and made for the perfect ambiance for a pre-show dinner. We will be back! read more

Food was over priced and unspectacular Steak and potatoes (potatoes ok, steak cheap cut of meat) Coconut Mussels -as blah as blah can be Fish dip-pasty and the chips are right out of a cape cod bag Risotto-was ok. Shrimp was tough. Chocolate moose-probably the best thing of the night Went to see the Nutracker that was amazing by the way, this was supposed to be a happy connivence, it was anything but. read more

Reserved for 5:30 one hour after opening. When we went to order the lamb was already sold out! Hmm one hour into opening. That set me up for a major disappointment. Had the salmon instead and the kale/Brussels cesar salad. I found the meal to be a little over salty. The server was very nice after having us wait a bit to even meet her. All in all I don't think I'd return. They have you hostage being the only restaurant in the immediate area. Can't wait until they have more choices in the area. Perhaps then they will step it up and keep a good inventory on their best meal on hand all night. It's not as if they're not open just that one night. Very disappointing. read more
