    We wanted to go to the rooftop but it wasn't open at the time. There's a thrift store that a so nostalgic. The food variety is very good. There's space to work and eat. We went to get food from 3 places. Italian, Haitian and ramen. The doos was very good. If you're going to yhenhaitain place, expect a limited menu. They don't have many staples from traditional Haitian reautrants. I will return for a rooftop experience. The service was fairly quick. It was an adjustment for trash bins. Parking is in the back or on the street.

    I was pleasantly surprised with this location! They have an amazing variety of food to choose from and I gotta say it was hard to choose! Needless to say we will have to return to try some other options. Today we opted for USBS burgers and fries and they did not disappoint! Great tasting burgers and fries! While we sat and waited for our food we had the sweetest server named Elizabeth bring us some drink menus from their bar and my only sorrow today was that we weren't there during happy hour...yet another reason to return! . But the wine was good and the beers were nice and cold as they should be! But the best part was the service with a smile...Thanks so much Elizabeth for making our first visit a great one! The coffee from Vice beans was delish as was the giant oatmeal cookie from Doña Posada! If you want a nice change of pace and good food options give Tge Citadel a try!!

    Took my family here since they are indecisive and picky eaters. We each ordered from the different stands since each stand offered different food. Perfect place if you want variety and are in the mood to try different items. Food was delicious but shout out Manjay! All their food was so good and packed with flavor, especially the jerk chicken. The venue has happy hour from 4-7pm and it includes both food and drinks on the happy hour menu. Only downside is parking there is expensive. Ambience is perfect for a family but also just to hang out with friends.

    The Citadel is a great little food hall located in the Little River neighborhood of Miami, north of Little Haiti. This is an ideal spot to meet up with people for food and drinks. There's plenty of space and they have a rooftop bar. We had a good time here. My wife and I had dinner from Manjay, the Caribbean/Haitian counter, on the first floor. We also had drinks at Bar Kaiju on the second floor (mezzanine level) and on the rooftop bar. You can take food from the first floor to the rooftop if you want. I recommend Manjay, Bar Kaiju, and the rooftop bar (called The Key). I liked the casual, laid-back vibe of the Citadel. Bar Kaiju has its own unique atmosphere. In 2025, it was ranked #77 on the "North America's 50 Best Bars" extended list. Free parking is located on-site in a large dedicated lot.

    Citadel is a spacious and beautiful Food Hall, Cocktail Bar and Marketplace in one, with lots of restaurants and stalls with food, drinks, and dessert options from local chefs and vendors, and a Rooftop Bar with extensive views of the city. The Marketplace have small shops and boutiques. It also has live entertainment, and DJ's to entertain the guests. Service was good, lively and welcoming atmosphere, and a great place to unwind and relax whatever time of the day you visit this lovely place. Check it out!

    Mint lemonade
    Valery C.

    The wrap man is the name of the restaurant I got skewers and fries and homemade mint lemonade Its was really good season well the mint lemonade was definitely refreshing and the service attendant at the cash register was patient in walking my friend and I through the menu. The space is nice but as a mom it can feel a bit tight during busy hours but it's great place to get some fresh made lunch with friends

    Wow a food hall that actually has great food, drinks and impeccable service with a rooftop to boot. This is a hidden gem in Little River. You can choose from sushi to oysters, and even grab gelato for dessert at The Citadel. Eat downstairs and enjoy the bustle of the food hall or pop upstairs to the rooftop and enjoy the views. You can order anything from Downstairs food court to be delivered upstairs. No scrambling between vendors they will do it for you while you sip a cocktail, relax and enjoy the vibe. Don't forget to check the thrift shop on your way out which is full Of nostalgic treasures from 80s action figures to vintage playboy mags. Definitely coming back to try the raw bar and maybe pick up a new plant!

    Maki-San in Citadel
    Axelle-Gabrielle M.

    I love this place! There are so many options of food to choose from and they are all so different and delicious. We ordered from Maki-San & Pho Sho and the food at both places were made quickly and they were fresh. At Maki-San for the hand rolls and crispy rice the total was $35.96 after a $5.99 tip. At Pho Sho the total was $21.87 after a $3 tip. Pho Sho has a happy hour special until 7pm where you can purchase 1 crispy chicken Bao for $5. Coming on a Friday night is great, but you will have to pay for street parking or park in the lot directly behind the building. I recommend the street parking because it is cheaper, although the parking in the lot is secured by a gate. The music is also very loud so if you are looking for a more quiet atmosphere, I recommend coming during day time because they start playing music louder in the evening.

    We came to visit phosho and it's always delish!!! Service great and fast m! We tried Doña Posad for the 1st time for deserts and we are very glad we did!!! We took home a 4 leches dessert, a brownie and a guava cookie ....don't miss out on this delicious place!!!

    I just love the ambiance here. It's great open space, community dinning and food selection. There is quite a variety of food options I go for the Pho, it's warm, great flavor and nice chucks of beef. It has all the necessary toppings and fixing love the Pho. Order, pay, enter your phone number, get a text when your food is ready. Friendly staff even the chef was nice and friendly.

    Lychee martini

    We decided to get together for happy hour for my gym. This food court is super close. So many options to choose from. We went to the rooftop bar where they have plenty of seating. It is shaded which is great! You can order from downstairs and they will bring it to you. I got the lychee martini. So good and refreshing. They added a 20% tip because of our table size. They didn't mention it when I was paying (grrr). Other than that, I'd def go back!

    The Citadel is now one of my favorite food halls. The ambiance is exactly what you want in a spot like this. Low lighting, spacious seating, a giant screen playing sports, and great vibes all around. The first floor is full of different restaurants, and they have a rooftop bar for when you want to switch up the scenery. I even noticed they host activities like bingo on certain nights. Service was good at each place I tried and the food came out fast. The areas are kept clean which is crucial for a food hall. What I tried: Mini chimichanga from Gueritos Tex Mex was more of a cheesy eggroll. I wish it came with some sauce to dip in or a little extra something but it was pretty decent. Stuffed onigiri from Maki-San Sushi was good. Nothing out of the ordinary, but good taste. I'll probably branch out to a different item next time just to explore. !Honey jerk chicken bites from Manjay. This is a must try! If you like food with a nice kick and a whole lot of flavor, this is it. Plantain fries were unique and the chicken was just... wow! There are so many vendors I didn't get to try (yet), but I'll absolutely be back. The Citadel is a foodie's playground with good vibes. Cons: - It's Miami, of course you'll have to pay for parking but there are plenty of spaces. - Prices for the food is as expected, a bit on the pricey side for what you get but nothing too crazy. They do have happy hour and some places have deals of the day so that's a plus.

    Stopped by the bar at the Citadel for Happy Hour and it did not disappoint. The bar on the first floor had friendly bartenders, who were quick to get your orders, even in the happy hour rush. We ordered Palomas off the HH menu and they were delicious! A bit noisy, but fun spot with plenty of food options nearby!

You'd think these folks just took your best friends magical back yard and created the most fun party in their house, but instead its at Understory and you can enjoy this oasis weekly on Thursday's and Fridays. I went for the first time last Thursday where I got to try a rum punch but with Mezcal that was delish. Then I moved on to a selection of delish wines and pizza by Flour and Weirdoughs. To say the vibe is impeccable is an understatement. I happily stayed until they closed at midnight, passing the time hanging out with friends and listening to the most fire playlist. They also have live jazz that starts at 9, which you can't really hear from the wine bar area since the space is so large, and DJs later in the evening as well as Friday. You can enjoy free entry before 8:30 pm. The best way to stay up to date on their weekly pop ups is to follow them on IG at @Understorymia. Can't wait to return!

We sat in the outdoor patio and it was beautiful. Moody lighting throughout, music, fans blowing and chatter all around make the experience incredible. Perfect for a girls night or date night. Service was absolutely incredible, throughout the night anyone that took care of us made sure to check on us and give us a little recommendation regarding the dish they were dropping off. Alex, our server, was amazing! Incredibly nice, personable, friendly and took his time to walk us through each dish and make sure we had an unforgettable night. We started the night with 2 pornstar martinis, which were delicious and served with a cup of prosecco. We got Parker House Rolls which were insane, extremely fluffy and fresh with a side of honey butter. The star dish of the night was the Agnolotti!! Absolute explosion of flavors, they were filled with what almost felt like a creamy corn soup, lathered in a delicious saffron sauce with pieces of blue crab. It was sweet, savory and a little sour, left me speechless. It was spectacular, balanced and beautifully made. The Hanger Stake was incredible as well, tender and cooked to perfection. Flavorful stake but the sweet glaze or sauce it came with was not my favorite, it took away from the flavor of the meat. Fries were order separately, since steak did not come with a side, and they were delicious and perfectly crispy. For dessert we ordered the Banana Toffee Cheesecake, it was delicious. Well balanced, the caramelized bananas and burnt toffee worked really nicely together. The key lime was a sweet surprise, very nice gesture from our server. Can't wait to be back and try the whole menu, the whole evening was perfect!

The restaurant is conveniently located right on the downtown strip with free street parking nearby, which is always a plus. The atmosphere was inviting from the moment we walked in. The host welcomed us and told us we could sit anywhere we liked, so we chose a quieter table away from the bar area. There is also a stage section that looked perfect for live music nights, although there was no entertainment during our visit. Overall, the ambiance was trendy, relaxed, and had a great neighborhood feel. They also appeared to have some very good happy hour specials for those who drink. Our server was very sweet and offered several recommendations. We decided to share the burrata appetizer and the skirt steak dinner. The steak arrived first and looked absolutely beautiful. The quality of the meat itself was outstanding and cooked very well. Unfortunately, there was a noticeable charred flavor from what seemed like a dirty grill, which took away from an otherwise excellent steak. It was disappointing because the quality of the meat was truly superb. The fries were also surprisingly good and almost tasted closer to sweet potato fries. At that point, we realized our burrata appetizer had been forgotten. Once we flagged down our server, she immediately corrected the mistake and brought it out quickly. Thankfully, it was absolutely delicious and ended up being one of the highlights of the meal. The fresh burrata paired perfectly with the heirloom tomatoes and tasted incredibly fresh and flavorful. Toward the end of dinner, service became difficult again. We were ready for more water, a box, and the check, but our server was nowhere to be found despite the restaurant not being particularly busy since it was still early in the evening. I eventually had to get up and ask the bartender for assistance. Overall, I really enjoyed the ambiance and appreciated the quality of the food. There were definitely some service inconsistencies, but the restaurant has a lot of potential and several dishes that stood out.
