Finish dinner 30+ minutes before showtime. Most restaurants offer pre-theater menus.
Highly recommended, especially for evening performances. Book ahead to avoid disappointment.
Most listed restaurants are within 5-10 minutes walk. Factor in extra time during busy hours.

Awesome experience every time I visit...went to see The Wiz...which is a phenomenal stage musical!! The Wiz is a must see event.
This is a wonderful theater. We went to see Bluey and had a great experience. There are parking lots across the building. We paid $25.00 with advance reservation, but there is also a $10. A few blocks away. Follow me on Instagram as @divine.southflorida for things to do in Soflo
What a beautiful experience for my birthday, First time at the opera and I really have a wonderful experience in this place. It was planned my outfit for this first occasion to make it memorable . Mission accomplish . It was sooo fun. The singers, their performances, new faces . Nov 19 it was a really beautiful day for me and everyone around me
We went for Aladdin show and it was great. Parking was a mess with a big traffic so we had to do valet around 35$. Lady in the box office was super nice. The theater is so big that from the top I felt I’m a cirque du soleil performer watching the show. If I took a Zipline to go on stage it would take me a couple of minutes that’s how far I was from stage. My suggestion would be to have more variety in the bar. Because snickers and nuts is not enough. Love the experience of cultural life in Miami. Wish it was more often and better seats affordable.
I had wonderful experience attending Silent Night opera.Amazing building inside and out.Apsolitely fanastic production !
