| - My first trip to Ibiza was a great success, so when I saw this spot on Groupon again, I had to snag one! I took my mom & dad last Wednesday night- they had never been. We were sat right away. I told my mom allllll about the wine flights, so we decided to split one. We ordered "Flight #2"- it was a white wine flight consisting of Salvemar Albarino, Ca'Donini Pinot Grigio, Santa Carolina Chardonnay & CK Mondavi Blonde 5. The chardonnay was my favorite last time & it was my favorite this time as well. We were pleased with the flight- $12 for 4 glasses of wine isn't bad.
We were given bread to start. It was served with a VERY garlicy hummus. Dare I say it... the hummus was almost TOO garlicy for me & I NEVER say that about anything, I adore garlic. The bread was soft & delicious though. My mom ordered a Caesar salad without the anchovy's to start. She loved it- it was a decent portion & the dressing was light & the salad was fresh.
One thing to note- there's a new menu. Only a couple weeks old. I wasn't prepared... I had just looked online & their old menu was still listed, so I had no idea what to order with the new menu. Our server was patient & helpful while I decided. We went with four items: the chicken spring roll, flat bread (with ham & pear), crab cakes & the garlic shrimp. As we waited, more people arrived & it was then that I noticed there was only one server working for all of the tables. I'm not sure if there was a call off or that is how they scheduled it, but it was obviously she was busy. There was also a bartender working, but for some reason she wasn't taking tables (although the bar was empty).
Our food didn't take long, but it also did not arrive correctly the first time. The flatbread & chicken spring roll arrived, along with the crab cakes. We were also given spicy potatoes. I told our server that we didn't order the potatoes & she took them back without a problem & brought us the shrimp.
The flatbread- Unique, I had never had pears on a flatbread before. It was tasty- my mom & dad enjoyed it, but it didn't blow any of us away.
The chicken spring roll- probably my favorite item of the evening. I wasn't too fond of the way it was cut- it wasn't practical for dipping, but it was really good. I wish they provided us with more chili sauce than the soy sauce though. The soy sauce on it's own was way too salty for the spring roll.
Crab cakes- I ordered these primarily for my dad. I don't really eat crab, but I decided that I should try them anyway. They were really good. The sauce that came with them went well with it. They weren't fishy & they clearly had a lot of crab in them. My dad liked them too, but again he wasn't blown away.
The garlic shrimp- This item came late to our table. As soon as she sat the shrimp down my family & I could smell a fishy smell... not what fresh shrimp should smell like. Despite the smell, we each decided to try one. They were tasteless. Literally. Which is a shame because it was one of my favorite items last time I came. I am NOT one to send food back... literally I have no idea when I last did so, but I didn't want us to pay $12 for shrimp we hated. I told our server we didn't like the shrimp & she took it off our bill without any issues.
While we were eating, the table next to us was sat & about 5 minutes later, they told the hostess they were leaving, considering they hadn't been greeted yet & felt as if the server was too busy. This was uncomfortable for me- I felt bad for the server, but also was overall confused as to why no one else was helping her with the tables.
Overall, I can see why this place gets such mixed reviews. I came here the first time & adored this place. The second time I came my experience was very different. My parents & I agreed that we probably won't return any time soon. It's a beautiful place with an awesome concept, but I think the management needs to step it up so that this place is more consistent.
