The food was the delicious, the service excellent, and the surrounds are beautiful... what more could you ask for!

The dishes are designed to share, and we ordered 10 between the four of us. Each dish is like a work of art, and the tastes are spectacular. Stand out favourites for us were the Croquetas; the Jamon Selection; the Beef Cheeks; and the Smoked Mackerel.

The main restaurant is situated in the basement of the building, and the old sandstone bricks create a very rustic and European effect. The kitchen is open plan and you can watch all of the cooking action from the comfort of your table. We'll certainly be going back!

Went to the early sitting (6 pm - 8 pm) in the downstairs restaurant. Food was great but extremely slow in coming and they weren't that busy. It was 8:20 by the time we finished our last dish and we were looking forward to dessert and coffee. Then the waitress turns up with the bill and tells us that there are people waiting upstairs for our table - We were gobsmacked! Afterwards I thought that I should have complained then and there but at the time we were so shocked that we just paid and left. Totally unacceptable!

The bar was perfect, we really should have eaten at the bar, down stairs was a little stiff. We understand tapas is small servings of tasty food but the servings we received for the $ charged was not great value for money, staff were very helpful and service was great.

Ortiga is setting a new benchmark for Brisbane's restaurant scene. The food is amazing, the wine list exceptional (why has no one else thought about the concept of half glasses to match tapas?) and the setting is beautiful. I have been three times and it is consistently excellent.

It is mentioned in the same breath as MoVida in Melbourne and Bodega in Sydney, but I think Ortiga is a step above these. Excellent value for an exceptional dining experience.
