Ive been fortunate to have traveled to the Caribbean on many occasions. After dining at Ortanique on the Mile, it is inescapably obvious that the exotic heat that hits the Caribbean, has hit The City Beautiful. This restaurant has smashed the proverbial nail on the head with its unique blend of different Caribbean styles and flavors while still retaining its position as Miamis #1. While truly amazing for its food, this place is the authority of its kind. There are many restaurants today in the Caribbean that cannot compare. I close my eyes, savor the food, and Im in the Caribbean. Chef Cindy Hutson has command of her mastery in the kitchen. The ambiance is very posh and artistic. Reservations are a must here due to the commanding demand of a Caribbean escape so close to home. Like at Nobu, I could finally spare the airline ticket for good. L.A.
Pros: Everything.
Cons: None.
