Editorial Review for Ortanique on the Mile – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Ortanique's dining room is a riot of tropical style. Brightly upholstered banquettes on either side of the main dining room are screened off by gauzy curtains. Cuban tile adorns the floor; vivid designs are splashed on the walls and support columns. Chef Cindy Hutson's menu includes curried crab cakes with tangy papaya-lime coulis and swordfish with gratin of boniato and foie gras. Roasted banana cheesecake and Tortuga rum cake are luscious desserts.

Insider Tips
Where to SitIf you want to be in the center of the action, sit in the main dining room. If you're looking for a little privacy, there are banquettes on curtained risers.
What to DrinkThe wine list is long, comprehensive, fairly priced and strong in California chardonnays and cabernets.

After 3 visits I think I can safely say this is some of the best food in Miami. The food is amazing and the service is perfect. Plan to wait at the bar even with reservations and for a romantic time ask to be seated in the booth area. They have a great wine list and the people are very knowledgeable.

Went here when we were on vacation last week. It was reccomended by a family member who had been there before. I have to say, the food was absolutely delicious. I'm a seafood lover, and tend to be very picky, and each course i had had was to die for. The scallops and shrimp entree was so good I wanted to pick up my plate and lick it. The owner/chef came over to our table and said hello. she was very friendly and fun. The decor was funky with a carribean feel. I drank wine, but my friends were having mojitos and raving about them. Next time I come back to Miami I will definately be back here.
