Dined at Ortega following a recommendation from a friend, and it didn’t disappoint.
There was a group of 12 of us, so they sat us upstairs in a semi private room (one other group). It was a great. Loved the decor, it created a nice relaxing atmosphere. The service was friendly and attentive. Everyone was happy with their choices, including one steak loving/seafood hating friend!!!
Possibly on the slightly pricey side, but would definately dine here again. -

I went here last weekend with Hubby and had a great meal.
We had called to say we would be late for our table,they were happy to hold it even though it was a full house on arrival and there were people waiting at the bar.
We ate upstairs. I am on the fence about the decor, I get what they have gone for, but its not my thing… its all a little to busy and the places in Spain that they are emulating are dressed this way in earnest, not a touch of irony.. not sure if the same can be said for Ortega.
The table and chairs were pretty shaky (bit of an understatement actually) but when the staff couldn’t sort it with a wedge of card, we decided to just hold onto our glasses and enjoy our night out!.
The food was delicious… simple dishes, done perfectly, lots of full tastes made with fresh products.I had oysters, prawns w linguine, seared tuna and if it was humanly possible I would have gone back for more!.
The wine menu was really great… so much so that we flagged ordering a generic bottle and matched glasses for each dish.. heaven!.
Staff were competent/ experienced… though a little rushed and it showed a bit.
We had a fun night, left full and happy and will be back to try more!. -

Very nice Dinner out for 3. We had a great time with all that was on offer. I don’t know if a clipboard menu is my thing?? perhaps its the new new!
Food was very well presented and the service polished but there just seemed to be a slight lack of heart from the staff. It seemed they were conducting a routine with their operating & that becomes obvious throughout the evening when you are a later dining table. The Prawns & linguine were an amazing dish as was the Beef. Terrific food but am holding my breath on the service -

What a nice venue!
Good service, Great food.
Only issues were the shaky table & the thin 3 slices of bread accompaning the Duck Pate
Will definitely be back & really enjoy the environment -
