If you sit still long enough, you can feel the gentle breeze of the tropical islands when you dine at Ortanique on the Mile, a beautiful restaurant ethereally decorated with sheer white curtains, sunshine-yellow walls, rich wood-beamed ceilings, and overhead vintage ceiling fans, giving you the sense of being whisked away to some island paradise. Like the décor, the menu echoes the Caribbean, offering authentic island fare, aptly described as the “Cuisine of the Sun.” Tropical fruits, spices, herbs, and marinades paint poultry, beef, shellfish, and a brilliant selection of seafood, to winning success. Ceviche del Mar, West Indian curried crabcakes, and jerk-rubbed Sonoma foie gras are some of the kitchen’s most eagerly devoured signature dishes.
