To get your appetite going during your meal at Miami’s Ortanique on the Mile, you should consider ordering either the pumpkin bisque that has a touch of pepper sherry or the salad of spicy fried calamari.
Then don’t miss the salad of tropical mango that goes with passion-fruit vinaigrette, freshly marinated sable hearts of palm, toasted Caribbean candied pecans, julienne mango and baby field greens. Of course, the pan-sautéed Bahamian black grouper prepared in sesame oil and teriyaki should definitely grace your table for entrée.
Find out more about the Ortanique on the Mile, wherein main courses run from $21 to $44, in this review published on travel-centered site, called Fodor’s:
Food is vibrant in taste and color, as delicious as it is beautiful. Though there is no denying that the strong, full flavors are imbued with island breezes, chef-partner Cindy Hutson's personal "cuisine of the sun" goes beyond Caribbean refinements. The menu centers on fish, since Hutson has a special way with it, and the Caribbean bouillabaisse is not to be missed. On Sunday there's live jazz. The mojitos here are amazing.
