We had wanted to try Ibiza for quite some time and finally went on my wife's birthday. The ambiance was nice, nothing great; patio seating was nice but a bit warm. We started out cocktails which were outrageously priced.
Appetizers: SPANISH OLIVES, JAMON SERRANO AND MANCHEGO CHEESE - nice to start, but slicing ham and cheese doesn?t take a culinary genius - 2 Stars. LONG STEM ARTICHOKE HEARTS WITH SARDINIAN STYLE FREGOLA PASTA AND BLACK OLIVE OIL - very nice, tender with mild flavor with something like couscous-3 Stars.
Entrees: GRILLED LOUISIANA REDFISH WITH SHELLFISH COURT BOUILLON AND SPICY TASSO RISOTTO - Nice flaky fish cooked perfectly, nice mild broth, the risotto was the stand out in the dish, it was excellent - 4 Stars. MOROCCAN GRILLED SHRIMP WITH GOAT CHEESE POLENTA - Shrimp were small but not over cooked, nice flavor. Polenta was pureed and relative tasteless: 3 Stars.
Wine: CADE-SAUVIGNON BLANC-?PLUMPJACK? NAPA VALLEY CA ? Nice bottle of wine at a reasonable price, however nowhere on the label was ?Plumpjack? mentioned but I later learned this is a ?value label? from the Plumpjack folks.
They brought out ?Loving Cup? of cotton candy with a sparkler on top for my wife?s birthday which she thoroughly enjoyed.
All in all, a bit pricey relative to food quality.
BIGGEST COMPLAINT!!!!!! You are forced to use Valet Parking or park somewhere on the street and walk up. When we arrived there were more than a dozen empty spaces with ?cones? blocking them for the valet. The valet took my car and pulled into a spot less than 20 feet from where I stopped at the valet stand!!! I don?t need or want valets parking my car, but you have no choice. In order to have my voice heard regarding the valet issue, I won?t be returning to Ibiza until they learn to let the valets walk and reserve the parking up from for customers.
Pros: Wine Selection and Prices
Cons: Price/Parking
