Save for that Special Moment
I find Ibiza to be one of the most exciting places to eat in New Haven. Fresh and original, it serves Spanish-influenced Mediterranean cuisine. If grilled octopus is offered, definitely try it. Other dishes that are great include braised lamb shank, fall-off-the-bone tender, and their version of fish soup.
Service is very helpful and generally excellent, but patience is required as few of the dishes are prepared ahead of time.
As with other restaurants, Ibiza is best visited on weeknights. It's a comfortable, atmospheric place.
Consider for special occasions as well.
