This weekend marks a culinary revival at the Adrienne Arsht Center’s Ziff Ballet Opera House in Downtown Miami as Teatro Restaurant opens its doors. Originally home to acclaimed chef Brad Kilgore’s Brava, the space now embraces its new identity with a distinctive New American menu, crafted by executive chef Jose Danger and featuring European and Latin influences.
Teatro Restaurant is the latest venture under the Constellation Culinary Group, renowned for culinary destinations such as Verde and The Restaurant at the Norton Museum of Art. Positioning itself as a premier venue for pre-show dining, Teatro offers a sophisticated ambiance characterized by deep red and gold tones, reminiscent of theater stages.
The dining experience at Teatro is designed to be both memorable and efficient, especially for guests attending performances. The menu showcases a two-course prix-fixe option, allowing diners to choose an appetizer and entrée or an entrée and dessert. This is complemented by a range of side dishes and an à la carte selection.
Appetizers focus on fresh, veg-forward cuisine with options such as heirloom tomato carpaccio, Thai coconut curry mussels, and “Big Mac” steak tartare. Main courses include comforting dishes like Cioppino stew, risotto carbonara, and Piri Piri brick chicken, catering to different palates with creativity and flair.
Teatro also emphasizes its beverage offerings, featuring a 12-seat bartop with an extensive list of drinks ranging from craft cocktails to beers and wines by Gerard Bertrand. Diners can also enjoy specialty coffee drinks and an assortment of bar snacks ideal for a quick pre-show bite.
Open before select performances at the Ziff Ballet Opera House or Knight Concert Hall, Teatro welcomes both reservations and walk-ins, ensuring accessibility for all theatergoers. For those interested in experiencing this new addition to Miami’s dining scene, further details are available through the Adrienne Arsht Center’s official website.
Teatro Restaurant represents a vibrant addition to the Miami culinary landscape, combining an elegant dining setting with a menu that delights in innovation. As it opens its doors to diners, Teatro promises to enhance the pre-show experience with its unique fusion of flavors and theatrical ambiance, making it a destination not just for theater patrons but for all food enthusiasts.
