Keeping it in the family, their daughter Anna and husband Davey McDonald, in charge and fully committed to Ortega’s front of house efforts and everything liquid. And finally the fifth and newest member of our key team at Ortega, Regnar Christensen, Head Chef.

Both restaurants enjoyed rave reviews and won numerous national awards for his outstanding food and wine lists.

In 2004, Davey furthered his epicurean tour of duty in Australia, working alongside famous kiwi Restaurateur Mark Dickey in his Sydney restaurant, Garfish.
