Pb Station

We loved our dinner at Estación Central in downtown Miami. The food was amazing, we were a big party celebrating my wife birthday, so we tried almost the entire menu and everything was delicious 😋 The atmosphere was great, we felt in Spain 👍 The entire staff was great, they have valet which is very convenient and less expensive that parking in the private parking around the building. This is a great option to enjoy great food in a beatific place! 100% recommended 💪

Estación Central in Downtown Miami boasts a vibrant atmosphere and exceptional service. Their drink selection is impressive, perfect for unwinding. Unfortunately, the food falls flat on flavor. Happy to return for a drink and the service, but not for a meal. Improvements on the culinary side would be welcome.

Wow, what an amazing experience at Estacion Central. From the greeting to the table and the ambiance, we felt like we were in the middle of 🇪🇸. All the staff, including the owner, who was there and a great time were Spanish and kept the whole experience very authentic. To the food, everything was amazing. We ordered half the tapas on the menu lol they were so good. From the tortilla Espanola to the gambas al ajijo and to top it off the best crema catalana for dessert we had ever had, everything was phenomenal. We had a few pitchers of sangria which the price was great and it wasn't just sweet grape juice like other places we felt a great buzz 🤪 Would highly recommend will definitely be returning soon to try there authentic Paellas 🥘 for sure. Gracias

Lovely experience! I first saw Estación Central on Instagram, following a recent trip to Spain, and was thrilled to have this dining concept in Miami. We decided to stop by on a Sunday afternoon ("linner" time), after a long day of errands. I mention this, because we were able to walk in and be seated immediately, as there was literally a table for two available in the back. The restaurant was packed, despite the "awkward" dining hour (4-5pm). That said, making a reservation is highly recommended. Based solely on the Instagram photos, I thought the dining concept was more of a food hall concept, which has become popular in Miami. However, upon arriving, we learned it's a traditional dine-in restaurant. The hostess was warm and welcoming, which always leaves a great impression. You enter through the "tunnel" arched entryway, past the bar, which opens into beautifully designed "Central Station", where you immediately get the impression that you will be taken on a culinary adventure of the Spanish cities outlined on the walls -- Sevilla, Barcelona, Santiago, Madrid, and Valencia. By far, my favorite part of this experience was the atmosphere -- open kitchen in the back, black and white floor-to-ceiling subway tile, soaring two-story ceiling height with a statement-piece chandelier, beautiful architectural details, welcoming staff, comfortable conversational noise level, and good energy all around. The fun menu design imitates the train stops, weaving the Central Station theme throughout. We ordered from the tapa-style menu to sample multiple items on this first visit: + Pan con tomate + Jamón Ibérico + Croquetas + Pulpo Gallego + Calamari This is where I considered removing a star, as the croquetas could have been much better. We will forego this item, the pan con tomate, and the calamari next time. The croquetas looked lovely, but they seemed to have chunks of cartilage (or something thick and chewy) in the mix, which was unpleasant to experience. The calamari and pan con tomate were good, but basic. The jamón ibérico and pulpo gallego, however, were delicious! They offer a good drink selection, and they seem to highly promote the sangria, which we did not order, because sangrias tend to be too sweet for my taste. We went with a Tempranillo instead, which was lovely. The wine bottle prices are very reasonable, which adds to the overall experience, especially if you are dining with a group. The dress code seemed a bit more relaxed, at least at this hour. Perhaps it's a different vibe during dinner time. Because of its downtown Miami location, parking options are valet, limited street metered parking, or a small parking lot across the street. Something to consider when making plans. I decided to give the full five stars, despite the two food items we didn't like, because the overall experience compensated for the rest. I do not want to judge the whole menu based on these items. We will likely return for the dinner experience.

What an incredible experience at Estación Central! Ricardo was so welcoming from the second we walked in. It was a busy Friday night and he managed to not only pay attention to us, but every table there to ensure they were having an amazing experience. Everyone there was like this! The food was fresh and delicious and very very much felt like I was back in Spain! The concept of the restaurant with a central train station feel really stands out! Food comes out tapas style, meaning in order it’s ready so it’s nice and hot! So anything you order is perfection! The croquetas were truly unique and delicious!!!!! Sorry to say, but way better than any in Miami! (Sorry not sorry!). Ricardo also recommended some drinks and absolutely were perfect! I will be coming back to this spot over and over and wish them nothing but the best! Best paella in Miami!!!!

What an incredible find! Almost a perfect experience. We started with the Sangria which tasted exactly like Spain. A delicious trip down memory lane. Every dish we had was excellent. My only complaint was the Octopus which was a little tough with very little flavor. If they could correct this dish I would give this place 5 stars.
