The Citadel Reviews

I ate 3 times at BORTI PASTA BAR and found it excellent. The pasta they made is 100% Italian at every single detail. Nice service, highly recomendable place to go.

Great place for stopping by and tasting or picking up some of the good quality food options in one place from cheeses to Caribbean food, pizzas, tacos, burgers, pastries and wine. Worth the visit

This is such a great spot. Has so many different places you can order from and then sit together. Great bar, food, deserts, music....perfect for everyone...lots of options. Parking in the back.

The Citadel in Miami is a vibrant spot to enjoy lunch, offering a diverse range of food options that cater to various tastes. Beyond the culinary experience, it also features an array of unique small shops, making it a great destination for both dining and exploring local artisans. Whether you're grabbing a bite or browsing through boutiques, the Citadel provides a lively and inviting atmosphere perfect for a relaxed afternoon.

Great variety of different /local cuisine and cultures all under a great ambience. Asian/Italian/Caribbean/Pastries/Ice Cream all wraparound a great bar Cool vibe for locals and tourists to get a feeling of Little Haiti.....

The ambience, the atmosphere was chic with a twist of Art. Everything from Italian, sea food , burger and beer, to Caribbean cuisines. Great place for couples, kids, business or friends hanging out. ❤️❤️❤️

Fancy food court model, smaller than expected. Tried the tacos pop up, very good, prices comesurate with Miami but this area is not a destination. It’s the gentrification-in -progress area of Little Haiti. I just happened to be around but I wouldn’t go out of my way just to come here. But if you live in the neighborhood , good place to stop over, happy hour, coffee and simple food bites. Parking is paid in street. The shopping area is not yet open.

This is an attractive and modern food court style. There are several food choices, a lot of tables to be seated, your drinks may be bought to your table and you also may take advantage your a convenient parking lot. My son tried a hamburguer with fries at Rare Burguer and I tried good tacos and corns at Taquiza. Also, I ate a delicious and amazing meringue at Ash pizza, you must taste it if you love meringue. All the food looked delicious but I think it was too expensive for being a self service restaurant. It deserved to be visited at least once.

i enjoyed the burgers from USBSon both visits, the pasta was fresh a nicely seasoned at Borti’s and the delicately fried oysters at Miami Shores Seafood. even the drinks were packing a punch, but the number of dogs (6) in Citadell was a hugh turnoff. I can’t just sit and eat at an indoor establishment with dogs barking and walking around like it’s a kennel club. I do plan to report this to be the States’ DBPR (Dept of Business & ProfessionalRegulation…. Doggone it!

The Citadel is a Food Hall in MidTown Miami offering a wide selection of restaurants. There is also a full bar with all kinds of delicious drinks. There is soo much food to choose from: Mexican, Peruvian, burgers, salads, BBQ, salads and charcuterie sandwiches, desserts and coffees. The day we visited we were able to find a table for our group fairly quickly-we were 6. We all choose something different to try and everything was very good. There is parking on site and also Cross the street.

I’m a local, so I have been to The Citadel several times. I really enjoy the place. I read another review where the person said it’s located in Midtown Miami. This is not correct. Midtown is farther south - it’s only the 30-39 streets surrounding N Miami Ave. Basically, the 20-29 blocks are considered Wynwood from the NW to Biscayne (east of Biscayne would be considered Edgewater). And the 40-49 blocks surrounding N Miami Ave are the Design District. And The Citadel is to the north of the Design District and to the north of Little Haiti. Actually, I’d consider this a gentrified section of Little Haiti, but the LH “district” signs show it ends at like 69 St. Soooooo yeah, it’s definitely not in Midtown. That said, the neighborhood is growing in popularity and has had a few great spots open for a long time (Sherwood’s and Fiorito to name a couple) and The Citadel is great for an evening on the rooftop or when you’re not sure what you are in the mood to eat. I’ve taken my kids, my aunt from Boca, done a girl’s night a couple times and met a date there from Bumble. Lol. He was actually very concerned about the “area”. So if you’re conservative or not used to edgier areas, you may not feel comfortable (he didn’t). But I continue to enjoy The Citadel even if sometimes service is slow. The quality of food is great and the downstairs bar is a cool atmosphere w a really good vibe. The rooftop can be hit or miss, depends on the evening and the crowd just like many other places in Miami. GL! Try it out. Great sushi and pasta last time I went.

A fascinating food hall, with a variety of international vendor/chefs around rather perimeter and a shared seating area in the middle. Rooftop space as well. Even some live music at certain times. A great selection of food/drinks with an international flavor and an upscale vibe. Worth a visit.

I love food markets and this was no exception. The setup is super cute and good variety of food options. My favorite was they had meat & cheese. The burger place wasn’t our favorite and nothing special. Some places were slightly overpriced but still a fun place for friends and family so everyone can choose what they want to eat. They have a full bar too so that’s always a plus !! The drinks were really strong ( I know that might be great for some but not if you’re actually into enjoying your cocktails, they were so strong we barely drank them ) but oh well I’ll get wine instead next time. Definitely a fun place to try out !!

We had a very delicious lunch at the beautiful bar with food from Taquiza - creative Mexican menu. The entire space is very thoughtfully laid out and decorated. It is warm and instantly welcoming, with an interesting, local crowd. A really nice addition to the area. It is fun to tour the different food stations and we can't wait to go back for other options for lunch or dinner. There was ample parking behind the building, making for a pleasant and easy experience.

Love this place. It’s like a best kept secret for locals although growing in popularity. I go to The Citadel frequently with friends for either happy hour and/or dinner. It’s trendy, urban, eclectic and diverse. All ages acceptable from Gen Z to Baby Boomers . You just better like loud music! There is limited parking in the rear and paid street parking. Best to Uber if from out of town. There is the inside air-conditioned food hall which has an open area with urban-chic designed tables surrounded by food kiosks. My only desire is that more food Kiosks come on board to offer additional option. Would love to see one that offers salads! There’s a long bar with a great drink selection. They could better staff it as often it’s one bartender who can’t keep up. The rooftop bar is my favorite but best to make a reservation. Servers are lovely and always pleasant. You can order food up there from any of the kiosks. It has a covered area in case of rain or strong sun!

Pizza? Burgers? Ice Cream? Thai, Pasta, Sandwiches? And a roof top deck? With a real coffee shop too? With free parking? Yup, been here on dates, on biz meetings and with Hans Solo (me). This place rocks if you are hungry and in the area.

With a variety of food vendors, The Citadel is a fun place to visit "off the beaten track." There is a wide offering of foods from bbq, burgers and pizza to more unconventional offerings along with alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages -- coffee, as well -- and richly flavored ice cream for dessert.

This food market was a great place to spend an hour or two eating. My friend and I ate at the Korean bbq place (sadly I don’t remember the name). The bar had great cocktails. I shared a carafe of the St. Germain Sangria which was awesome! We also ate the gelato from Bianco, which was delicious. We came during the opening weekend. They had artisan vendors at the other side of the market. We also went up to the 2nd floor and saw what a great space this would be for an event. Hope you stop by and enjoy. Parking was easy to find.

I Love the place and have been there twice at non-peak times so parking was not an issue. I Love the lounge on the other side of the restaurants and the table tennis table. I’ve tried the Caribbean/Creole restaurant and the pizza place. I liked the Caribbean food, but was a little disappointed with it because it was not really Haitian or Creole, so if you were looking for that, you might be disappointed. They seem to do more of a mix of Caribbean things. Of course pizza is pizza, but this place does a Neopolitan cheese truffle pizza that is amazing! Can’t have this all the time, but if you Love truffles you’ll be delighted!

We ate at the italian section... Angelo was great and prepared a delicious sandwich and salad, very fresh and tasty! Pastries are incredible! Good quality excellent flavor! And the focaccia was super! We really enjoy everything! Nice atmosphere and variety of food to choose...

Last week I recieved an invite to come hear a Local new Artist. So I invited a friend to come explore a new venue. The location is both on the edge but also cutting grade. It is located in the upcoming area of Little Haiti and Miami Shores, beautifully designed very spaciously laid out so you are enticed to wander around before up choose what fits your taste buds. The place is family orientated with multi choices of what type of food and a beautiful laid out Bar and 5-7 verities of cultural experiences, plus 3 types of dessert stations.. I asked several couples what they thought of the dishes everyone was very happy with their decisions . I'll definitionally return soon, the food we shared was very delicious, Drinks were a bit pricey for location but worthy of giving it a try.

This was our 4 time here and it has totally deteriorated. We were surprised that the rooftop was fairly empty. The reservation woman totally lacked customer service skills. She acted totally miserable to be there . The waitresses only 2 were great but way under capacity. We ordered good from several of the restaurants in the food court and the quality was totally missing . The worst one was Mandalay which never completed our order. We will never go back. That is the end of our Citadel life experience. It is not worth it. Don’t waste your time!

This is a great addition to the area. I love being able to take our kids for pizza but I can choose something more interesting. Plenty of seating and a bar. Very easy to park in the back.

The Citadel is a food hall along with a marketplace! There are about 12 food vendors here with a mix of cultures participating. There are also a few vendors selling their goods. The ambiance is welcoming, comfortable, and fun!! We sat upstairs on the rooftop from late afternoon thru the evening so that we could see the cool lighting and the night views! The music is Top 40, Latin, and house. We had a great time. If you are on the rooftop and hungry, a server will take your order and go downstairs to the restaurant of your choice. She/he will bring it back to you when it is ready. Very convenient for the customer. There is parking behind the building as well as on the street. There are stairs and an elevator to get to the rooftop.

I love how there is a selection of restaurants to choose in one location. it was a group of 4 and we ordered from USBS(United States Burger Service) , Manjay, Ash! Pizza Parlor, and Borti Pasta Bar . Last, but never least we ordered drinks ( spirits) from the bar and everything was great!!!!! Almost forgot the icing on the cake.... we got dessert from Frice Cream (OMG) is all i can say ...it was finger licking great!!!!

Just opened a few months ago, this fun food court/pop up space is a lot of fun. You can get a great variety of good food - Chinese, burgers, tacos, pizza, French pastries, etc. AND a full bar. Sit with your friends and see a wide variety of people enjoying the space and the food.

Society Bbq was great. Tried pulled pork, baled squash w/ cheese and bread pudding. All great! Other offerings in the food court also looked good.

Great food court with an excellent variety of food choices. The rooftop is great but reservations is recommended. The service is great and music and drinks also. Will return soon for sure!

Finally we have a place with a great venue that has variety for all foodies!!! First off there is parking 😎😎if the gorgeous bar is full they have waiters that come to u so don't fret.. they also have a great space on opposite side for parents to hang out with the children no brainer right 🙄🙄choices r great and I was told more r coming and the rooftop will be opened in next month. So we opted to Mexican food and honestly i am anxiously waiting to go back for more. They do have a flight selection of beer and prices r very reasonable. Tacos were very tasty and the guacamole was on point along with the freshly made blue corn chips I was very impressed. We moved on to the Italian gelato spot and again soooo yummy. The coconut gelato was amazing and the affogato was made as if we were in Italy 😎😎😎almost forgot to mention live music.,,definitely a spot worth checking out
