Review 5 for Ortanique on the Mile

Overall Rating 4.0 out of 5 (Very Good)
"Our friend is a gourmet and recommended this place. It was certainly no disappointment. I liked the "fusion elements", for example the Foie Gras that was not typically French, but good, and fit well with the suggested Sauternes. They have an impressive wine list, and it was a nice surprise to find Jacquesson by the glass. The place it itself feels very nice and fresh, the service was professional, the food was great - a very nice dinner."

Review 7 for Ortanique on the Mile

Overall Rating 5.0 out of 5 (Outstanding)
"Food great as always. Their mango salad is really good. We had the beef medallion (seems is always on the menu) and the lamb special, which were both very tender and quite good. For desert, we had the rum cake (pretty good, but seemed lacking this time) and the bread pudding (this was exceptional). Overall, the food never disappoints.
Serivce: This time we were seated promptly when we arrived, which is normally the case with reservations (although our reservations were earlyish (7-8)). Later on 9-10 when the restaurant is more crowded, there might be a wait with reservations (happened to us once)).
Price: It is expensive, but the price I feel is commensurate with the food and experience. Great place. Looking forward to my next visit."

"Wonderful food. The menu is eclectic. We were seated in a tight area and I like to have more space personally. The wait staff took a few extra minutes getting us bread & drinks. Though, it was Valentines Weekend. So, I'm sure the service is usually better. That's a tough time to judge service. Overall, I thought it was a fantastic experience and would most certainly return for another dining experience."

"This was absolutely one of the best places I've been to in Miami. Both the corvina and salmon were perfectly prepared and could not have been better. The ceviche of the day was wonderful, and the creme brulee to finish...forget about it (in a good way)! Excellent all the way around. Great date spot."

"It was an interesting experience. The food was good but not overwhelming like I was led to believe by friends. It has great wine list. I did not like the decor with photos of food. It was more Panera than a fancy restaurant in the Gables.

"The food was fabulous! We arrived at 6:30 so the crowd was very light which is why I was puzzled as to why it took so long for our entree. It was worth the wait! We lived the Mojito & the Ortanique Martini. The waiters that took care of us can use more training. The food was absolutely delicious!!!!! We will return soon & we will recommend to our friends."

"We arrived early for an 8:30 reservation. For the first 30 minutes, sitting at the bar was fun. The mohitos are fabulous, even at $10 a shot. But by 9:30 we were hungry and upset that we still hadn't been seated. More than an hour after our reservation time, we finally sat down. After promptly ordering our dinners, we waited another half hour for our appetizers to appear. When the food finally came, it was excellent (if you don't mind spending $15 for a salad or $7 for two tiny scoops of coffee ice cream), but the service was uninspired and the wait time unacceptable. At the very least the restaurant could have offered a courtesy dessert or drink. Overall, this was a disappointing dining experience."

"Loved the food, it was tasty, with class and elegance. I had the crusted sea bass, the sea food baullausbae (sp?) and the blue berry bread pudding. The short rib appetizer was like melted butter and better than Michael Genuine, the gnocchi did it for me. It was noisy as it was early evening on New Years Eve, but I did not mind as we are a talkative couple and enjoyed that others were not able to over hear our conversation. The wait staff had personality which added a touch to feeling comfortable. The decor is interesting, had an old Spanish flea market feel. I tried to understand it but gave up and enjoyed the fact that it was different."

"Dining experience at Ortanique was nice - just felt a little rushed, because the kitchen was scheduled to close for lunch at 2:30. The reservation was for 1:30. But overall, it was a good dining experience."

Review 37 for Ortanique on the Mile

Overall Rating 4.0 out of 5 (Very Good)
"We love Ortanique and come as often as we can - it is a bit pricey, but the focus here is quality.. so its VERY worth it... Ortanique is model of excellence and consistentcy.. However, this time around, the restaurant was LOUD, thanks to a large group 'holiday partiers' that provided a noisy experience not common to the restaurant."

Review 40 for Ortanique on the Mile

Overall Rating 4.0 out of 5 (Very Good)
"The food was fantastic! All four of us enjoyed our delicious entrees as well as the apps. We had heard about this restaurant and wanted to go there for a special occasion. I put in certain (very minor) requests regarding the special occasion that were completely ignored. While I would certainly go back there for the food, the waiter was "out there", confused. They couldn't figure out which waiter/waitress had our table. The one who eventually served us seemed confused about many things."

Review 41 for Ortanique on the Mile

Overall Rating 2.0 out of 5 (Fair)
"-The food was very expensive considering that my dish came with 2 1/2 shrimps (one missing most of its tail) and 2 scallops, plenty of rice in the dish though!! Cost $23+
-The service was bad: very slow. We had to chase the waiter to take our order. We had been sitting and ready to go for 20-25 minutes before he was sent to our table."

"Ortanique is really a great little restaurant. Our reservation was for 8 p.m., we called to say we running about 10 minutes behind - no problem, but when we arrived we did not get seated until 9 p.m. Everyone was very pleasant, however a 45 minute wait with a reservation is disappointing."

Overall Rating 5.0 out of 5 (Outstanding)
"As always ortanique delivered an excellent meal and presented it beautifully. We sat on the elevated "patio" which gives you a bit more privacy. Our table had the black grouper and the boullabaise and to start we had the ceviche and the crab cakes. All were delicious. the service was just right. This is one of my favorites in town due to its solid consistency."
