Visitors to the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts in downtown Miami now have a convenient new option for pre-show dinners.

Teatro, from the Constellation Culinary Group, is now open at the downtown theater complex in the former space of Brad Kilgore’s restaurant Brava!

Led by executive chef Jose Danger, who has collaborated with Constellation’s corporate executive chef Aaron Janus, Teatro will serve a New American menu, with dishes that feature a hint of Latin and European influence.

The restaurant, which also has a 12-seat bar, will be open before select performances at the opera house or Knight Concert hall. It will offer a prix fixe menu for $52, with a choice of appetizer, entree and dessert, or guests can order from an a la carte menu.

Starters include carpaccio with heirloom tomato, mint tahini, toasted grains, olives and microgreens; Thai coconut curry mussels; kettle chips with thin-sliced prosciutto and a fried egg; or smoked salmon dip.

Executive chef Jose Danger, a graduate of Johnson & Wales University, will lead the kitchen at Teatro.

Side dishes like fries, a loaded potato and shrimp scampi are also available.
