We just moved into the bldg next to Ibeza, and decided to celebrate our move by going for dinner and drinks on a Friday night. Should have known to avoid the place when it was nearly empty. First off, the table was a sticky mess and I had to ssk the waiter to wipe it down after he still hadnt cleaned it upon taking our food order. We both ordered martinis (10$ for Smirnoff vodka) and a gin martini arrived without olives and with WAY too much sweet vermouth. We later learned (from the neighboring table who also sent back a drink) that the bartender hadnt shown up so the manager [with no bartending experience] was making drinks. When we mentioned the problem with the drink to our waiter he replied "So what do you want me to do to it?". Could have forgived this if the food was good, but no such luck there either. Coconut shrimp (8.50 for 6) were obviously frozen and burnt on the outside. We were served the tapas without any plates, napkins or silverware...and had to wait 10 minutes until the waiter came back to get any! Mediterranean "Platter" (13$) consisted of 2 bite-size grape leaves, a dallop of hummus and baba ganoush, and two bize fallafel that were cold, overly spiced and mushy. (Also we were charged extra for requesting addl pita!). I handed the waiter my credit card as he brought the check and he brought me back my credit card slip but no bill. I asked him when he came back, and he told me that it 'wasnt customary to give the bill if the credit card had already been run through'. I finally received the bill and discovered that he had added 20% gratuity for 2 of us, and claimed that because it was after midnight (it was 12:05 when he came over). Im guessing he figured by charging us tip and then just giving the credit card slip to me (which had a spot for tip to be added!) he would get a higher tip for his non-existant service... Bottom line is DO NOT GO HERE!
Pros: outside seating; location
Cons: everything else
