| - Went to Ibiza with a restaurant.com certificate, wary of the mediocre ratings on Yelp, yet trying to keep an open mind. The decor was comfortable and trendy, service attentive on a fairly busy weekend night. I have to say, these were the largest tapas portions I've ever experienced, AND the only place where the bread plate is constantly refilled. You will walk away full for sure. However, the portions did not really make up for the more or less uninspired flavors and presentation of the food. Everything seems to be dressed with the same two tiny slivers of bell peppers...
Here's what we tried:
Marinated artichoke salad - BIG bowl of greens, artichokes had a nice kick to it
Baked brie special - this was pretty decent, crispy and flaky on the outside, nice accompaniment of candied fruit
Stuffed banana peppers - mushy and bland
Salmon tartar - thought it could have used some more acidity, but was ok
Scallops with mango sauce - also just ok, texture was somewhat lacking and the flavor of the mango sauce wasn't the refreshing match I was hoping for
Filet mignon medallion - executed well, was juicy, tender, and medium rare as we had asked for, but again the flavor didn't seem terribly special
Overall it was ok, just didn't get the "wow, delish" reaction I have had at most other tapas restaurants.
