Ortanique on the Mile

278 Miracle Mile
Coral Gables, FL 33134
305-446-7710
Website
Seductively spicy scents — garlic? curry? jerk? — waft through the 225-seat space, caressing the olfactory senses. Good, wholesome aromas and potently flavorful, Caribbean-influenced “Cuisine of the Sun” have been Ortanique trademarks since it debuted a decade ago on Miracle Mile. Nothing much else has changed either, including the crowds piling in (even on a Tuesday evening) for the convivial vibe and familiar favorites. They include appetizers such as spicy fried calamari tossed with salad greens in balsamic vinaigrette; plump rum-braised short ribs blanketed by rich, smooth, booze-infused demi-glace; and a panko-crusted “West Indian” crab cake with papaya-lime salsa. One of chef/co-owner Cindy Hutson’s many signature entrées is Bahamian black grouper assertively caramelized from pan searing and splashed with a sauce brewed from Bacardi Limón and Ortanique liqueur. Moist flanks of duck breast in sweet Amarena cherry glaze sky also fly high. For dessert, don’t miss the deliriously delicious Blue Mountain coffee ice cream laced with slivers of bittersweet chocolate. If you are one of the many customers who’ve enjoyed dining at Ortanique over the years, you will continue to do so. If you are one of the few who didn’t care all that much for the place, you still won’t. And if you haven’t yet dined here, you should.

The Inside Word on Ortanique on the Mile

    I love this restaurant & well worth the price. Just thinking about their food makes me drool. I always make it a point to stop during Miami Spice, but half the time I end up ordering off the menu. Recommend having the Rum Zacapa (23 yrs) at the bar for a starter.

    Absolutely amazing. You'll want to spoon out the juice even after the mussels are gone! Tuesday nights are half-price wine nights. Bottles are 50% off!
