Ibiza Lounge Tapas - Stockton

If 3.5 stars was an option I probably would have opted for that. Was excited to try some spanish cuisine with my kids (teenage, not little ones). However most of the tapas were more what I would classify as Italian appetizers, not spanish and the paella was ok, but relied far to much on smoked paprika for the only flavoring, not the light bright flavors I remember from Spain. On the plus side, the drinks were amazing and creative, and the desserts were also very good. Hubby and I would go back for a date night, but probably not dinner.

Had a birthday dinner for friend. Food was exceptional!! Great paella! The service was friendly and attentive. Fun atmosphere with good music and crowd .

The food, drinks, and service were great. The DJ killed the vibe, he played really loud music. We would’ve stayed longer for more drinks if they just kept the chill ambiance, but we were having a hard time hearing each other. Try coming before 9 if you want to avoid this.

My wife and I love Ibiza. We have tried several of the menu items, and they are all great. The beef cheek was so tender, and the sauce was light yet flavourful. The cheese plate was excellent, but I wish they served the side of honey. The mushrooms are wonderful. The service is excellent. We had the Sangria with dinner. The bread pudding is to die for. The flan was very good, but the bread pudding with vanilla ice cream is the best. Some flamenco guitar music would be great, but they had a vibrant pop music. One review mentioned that the paella didn't have the crunchy rice at the bottom. That is called Pagao. Love pagao, but It is usually found in Arroz con Pollo. It takes some oil at the bottom to fry the rice. Paella doesn't always have that.

Great food. Friendly service. The chef came to our table to check if everything was to our liking. I will continue to support this great restaurant
