  • My friend Valerie and I tend to bring out the food-snob in each other. Personally, I was just excited for my upcoming trip to Barcelona but she's also a self professed foodie who doesn't mind spending the money if it means we're going to eat well. It didn't hurt that I had a $25 off $50 coupon restaurant.com coupon either ;) Because we have the weirdest schedules we ended up at Ibiza at 4:10, ten minutes after it had opened. We were the only ones and consequently, our server was really attentive and spent his time outlining the specials for us. I think he was a foodie too...the way he described everything made me want to order one of everything! The menu itself doesn't wax as persuasive but again our server was more than happy to recommend the lamb chops in a sweet teriyaki, covered in crushed wasabi peas. Feeling hungry, we focused on meat dishes and also ordered grilled sea scallops in a pomegranate sauce, salmon carpaccio, and towards the end, chorizo with spinach, raisins, and pine nuts. I don't know if i'd order the carpaccio again. It was super small but at least it was sprinkled with lots of capers that popped freshly in your mouth. Next came the lamb...i couldn't stop dipping into the sauce! It was also hard to decide how we were going to split the portion since the plate was presented with 3 chops. This happened with the scallops too...3 large, glistening scallops grilled nicely. My only comment would be that I would not have known it was a pomegranate sauce if the menu hadn't listed it as such. We were still hungry at this point and Valerie for some reason had NEVER HAD CHORIZO BEFORE. Ibiza's chorizo was cut in sausage slices- not the ground meat I was expecting. The spinach was cooked down into soft leaves of green atop pine nuts and sweet raisins that almost got me to overlook how oily the chorizo was. I guess that's to be expected but at the same time, it's not the most appetizing thing to see when your plate is coated neon orange. I would definitely come back. It's nice when you're able to stop yourself from overeating as I sometimes, regrettably find myself doing. I am definitely looking forward to tapas in Spain! My recommendation would be to come in a group of 3. (Maybe with the girls for wine!) Most of the dishes seemed to be served in triplets.
