The food is so consistently good that we are now regulars. I was given a gift certificate for this place and so I'm glad we tried it because Ortanique never disappoints.
This place definitely lives up to the hype. Everything is perfect from the food to the service to the ambience. The restaurant is divided up, so it still feels cozy despite its large size. They also don't have the problem that most Miami restaurants have: poor acoustics. Despite a full house I could still hear my dinner companion. We had the Miami Spice menu. Everything was good, but we definitely had our preferences. For the appetizer, the fritters were slightly tastier than the pumpkin soup. The plaintain mash that came with the mahi was good, but the vegetable lasagna was out of this world. And lastly, the tres leches was a coconut lover's dream.
Half price wine Tuesdays is a must. Super food prepared in unusual but delicious ways. If the fish tacos are on the bar menu, get them.
Cuisine of the sun!!! Fresh, delicious, and mouth watering cuisine great atmosphere and while we visited, the owners greeted guests and make them feel very welcomed!!! Try the Short Rib Crepes!!!
I saw this restaurant and was struck by the beauty and ambience of the photos I saw on open table, so I decided to make a reservation for my dear friends birthday, especially since they promote 50% off on select wines for Tuesday night. When I called to reconfirm my reservation, I told The host my reservation time, and her response was the reason I decided to cancel my reservation.
The reservation was made at 9:30 pm 30 minutes before closing, mainly because we were driving north an hour away to get there in regards of coming early. I was told to come early as to not upset the waiters, who might be in an urge to leave, and was told to expect an empty restaurant if I wanted to come at that time.
In all my years of working in a restaurant, and enjoying new restaurant experiences, this attitude was a huge turn off and unfortunately I have no desire to experience what this restaurant had to offer . Please encourage your staff to change their attitude when it comes to guest satisfaction and Customer Service via telephone. I've never spoken with a host who turned away or discouraged potential service because a reservation time, that was not to their satisfaction. Very disappointing.

First time we have been here. My wife has been wanting to come here for awhile so we drove down from Broward and it was fantastic. Drinks, appetizers, main dishes, atmosphere and wait staff all were great.
A must do for a native and a great surprise for a visitor.
Beautiful restaurant , very vibrant & carribbean . the food is amazing , the salmon meal is fantastic & their salads are great . customer service was also great & friendly . i would definitely recommend this to anyone who's looking for a great caribbean restaurant .
The food was delicious! I ordered from the 'restaurant of the week' menu and wow, it's a bang for your buck! 3 course meal for just $25! Everything we ordered was excellent and the service was stellar! My husband and I will be coming back!!!
Fabulous consistent Caribbean food. Great chef who cares. Tuna is great and the hog snapper is fabulous. Great drinks and very professional staff. Expensive but worth it.
Hudson is a chef (not a cook) creating Caribbean inspired masterpieces unique to her restaurant. The wait staff are professional and quite knowledgeable about the menu and its ingredients. The ambience is serene. One of Miami's best.
The service was subpar, slow and not very helpful with menu. The serving sizes were ridiculously small. I ordered what I thought was a churrasco steak, and I received 5 medallion pieces of steak, very disappointing considering the price. My wife ordered the salmon, as she always does, and has never been served such a small piece anywhere, half of a normal serving. No value and way over priced. Only gave 1 stars for ambiance which was nice. Would not go again.
