The only thing I have to say is hukka (hooka)! This bar/lounge is very conveniently located at the edge of midtown/south Buckhead. There is an optional dance floor and music, but the main attraction for me are the amazing semi-private lounge areas for friends to chill. I am definitely going back soon for appetizers, drinks and more of the varieties of flavored tobacco.

Wow this place is fun, and very popular. The food is actually quite good, with a wide selection of real Spanish Tapas. The spirited atmosphere, combined with flowing wine makes for a crazy time. The Flamenco dancers are a trip to watch. A quiet date place this is not.

My first choice for tapas has always been Eclipse di Luna, but my friend suggested we try Ibiza and I'll admit, the thought of all you can eat tapas for $10 was enticing so I went. And...Let's start with the parking. First, when you drive by this place, the exit and entrance are complete opposite and most people immediately want to go in through the exit. So, since that is the case, I see the line of cars in the WRONG way, and knowing that trying to turn into a spot for 2 cars while 3 others were still waiting was going to be difficult. That's when I tried to go in through the entrance and skip valet parking. This is when the valet driver stops me and says that self parking (which is full) is $5 and valet is free but I have to tip. Ummm, excuse me? So, I go back out and try to turn in to the valet line, only to wait for 5 minutes in the middle of the road and be told by the valet driver that I can't stand there and can go park across the street. Now, on to the restaurant. Cute decor, festive look, ok food, eh service. I get in, sit with my friend and the waitress comes in after noticing that I have finally arrived and asks if we would like something to drink. I order a coke and my friend said she will stick to the [half empty] water. 20 minutes later...waitress comes back to take order...we order all you can eat tapas...still no drinks (at this point my friends water is empty). 10 minutes later, first items of the meal arrive, sans drinks. A few more seconds to see if she is coming back by, but 3-4 times of her rushing by my table, I decide to step out from eating and ask for my drink. The restaurant is empty. The rest of the meal flows in, the waitress peeks in every so often, to ask how we are doing, drinks empty...and stay empty...Overall, food is ok, but when I think of all you can eat, I feel that it should be a "I want....and keep it comin..." But, that wasn't the case. And I noticed that the tables had very little room between each and the tables were empty. I just don't think that if I was sitting at a table, I would want someone's butt rubbing across my table edge while they try to maneuver through the restaurant.Summary: Parking - horribleDecor - awesomeFood - ehService - nice people, bad servers

Ibiza is a really fun unique experience. I decided to try it out on a Saturday night, and if you're looking for something slightly different and cultured Ibiza's the way to go. It was a predominant Lebanese, Moroccan, Latin crowd but overall speaking there is definitely a nice blend of the melting pot that congregate here and no matter what background you're from you're bound to find similar acquaintances peppered throughout the crowd. Also I haven't been to a place in a while where 95% of the women are damn fine. So fella's be prepared for consistent jaw dropping moments lol! The dress code seems to be pretty liberal, but for the most part I noticed most people were in standard club attire. Even so I had a buddy come with a Wal-Mart graphic tee and some black classic converse chuck taylors, and somehow he still managed to mesh well with the crowd and receive no hassle about getting in based on how he was dressed. The atmosphere is very lively and seems to be concerned only with having a good time regardless of maybe making a little bit of a fool out of yourself. I would say it's definitely a place to go have fun on a Saturday night. Also having no cover charge is pretty nice too. Definitely a great backup to have in your arsenal just in case the first place you decided to check out turns sour. I can only comment on this place from the aspect of it being a lounge. Unfortunately I did not have the pleasure of partaking in the food on my particular experience

Great tapas place. Good atmosphere, the layout of the restaurant is fantastic. It's a little pricey (as all tapas places are) so I can't give it 5 stars but it's a nice place to come with a group of friends to split some food or if you're willing to shell out the cash, a great place for a date.It is located on Peachtree Rd as you approach Buckhead, and it kinda suddenly comes up on you while you're driving on Peachtree, so it can be passed. The signs are pretty big so you will notice it but it will come up somewhat unexpectedly.

Great place!Food: Fantastic! We had a lamb dish that was well seasoned and fall off the bone tender. I ordered a rice dish that had plenty of veggies (Carrots, peas, and lima beans) and full of flavor. Great combo.Price: Very reasonable, $7 for the lamb dish, a steal. $18 hookah, with 1 free refill on Fridays. Specials everyday that are great value.Ambiance: Cozy, comfy chairs, booths, and tables. There are outdoor seats with traditional Mediterranean cushions and low tables. Inside there are comfy booths and tables. Music was great. They played MJ tributes for part of the nite. There was a BEAUTIFUL belly dancer who danced twice. Hottest belly dancer I've ever seen. Talented too!Service: Our server, Amy, kept checking up on us, was always on the spot with refills, dish clearing, hookah condoms, and service. An army of bussers and helpers rounded out the super helpful staff that never let my needs go unfulfilled.Would I come back? Hell yeah! I would bring friends and prob come back over and over...and over.

Ok, I've been here 3 times and each time was different than the other.The first I went for a gal-friends B-day, it was on a Friday night and the place was packed, me and my sister arrived fashionably late as usual so I have no concept of what the wait was like. I walked in, went straight to my table, ordered maybe 4 tapas, maybe 2 drinks, and ended up racking up around $50-$55, but mind you, I eat like a fat girl. Someone with a normal appetite would still be spending around 25-30 bucks I would say. The mood, ambiance, belly dancers, and food was worth the money.So the 2nd time I came for yet another B-day party, it was my roomates, and I actually recommended we go to this restaurant. After looking at the menu, he saw that on that particular day of the week they serve $10 all you can eat tapas, so considering how good everything was the first time I went, I thought this an unbeatable deal so we went. The all you can eat tapas turned out to be completely different menu items than from the actual menu; however, they all seemed interesting enough in their own right. There are about 8 items and they actually send out everything in waves, you get a small salad, a soup, and then a bunch of unique items. The waiter was attentive, everything came out in an even flow, the mozzarella sticks stood out in my mind as absolutely delicious. After I had each tapa I of course, being the fat girl that I am, wanted more salad, more mozzerella sticks, more balsamic chicken wings, more meatballs lol and I have to say, after you've gotten your first round of tapas, when you ask for more everything is done half-assed. The meatballs first time around were hot, the mozarella sticks were filled with mozarrella; however, the 2nd time around, the meatballs were luke-warm, had the consistency of a 3 day old bran-muffin, and the mozarella sticks had no cheese in them! it was just fried bread crumbs basically lol, but everything at least came out in a timely manner.Now the 3rd time I went was again, on a Tuesday, for the all you can eat tapas. The waiter was not attentive, the food came out extremely slow half-way through, then sometimes we would get tapas literally 2 mins after another....Our drinks were not tended to, and it was like pulling fucking teeth to get more of the same tapas, and again when you ask for a certain tapa again, don't expect the same quality as the first. lol If I rated based on my last visit, it would be a 1-2.

You like "HOO-ka"? You like belly dancing? You like tapas? Ibiza is the place for you. Mind you, I imbibed only in the tapas and I'd say... I can't really remember what I ate. It wasn't bad, wasn't great. Just okay. Fun place to hang out.

One part Disney world, One part lounge, and one part alcohol.Ibiza is a very interesting place, from it's decor, think Morroccan palace, to the people, to food/drinks.The menu is an ecclectic mix of spices and tapas, There are middle eastern dishes, as well as more generic fair.This is a place that draws a unique crowd. I've heard several different languages spoken in the private booths that line one side of the restaurant. This place also offers Hookahs, which seems to be one of the bigger draws to this place.This is a fun night if you're tired of the same old bar scene, and want to have a unique night out.

Another place that my friend Raj introduced me to (the other is Divan). Ibiza is a great alternative scene when i am not up for the "trendy" lounges or "celebrity" owned spots. It's been a welcomed change on a couple of Friday nights where I wanted a good drink and a chance to catch up with my pal.Typically I have a taste of one or two tapas when I go here and they have a variety of quick eats that go with a drink or two. Ibiza is also open later than most restaurants in that area of Peachtree Street. The Flamenco dancers are entertaining and interactive. One evening there was a bachelor party and a bachelorette party going on at the same time. Oddly there were more guys at the bachelor party than women at the bachelorette. Ibiza made for a fine festive atmosphere and the bride and groom to be had an innocent fling on the dance floor. Everyone had a blast.
