As one of the few distinguished Houston restaurants that embraces Spanish cuisine, Ibiza Food & Wine Bar is one of Midtown’s most treasured gems. Located just minutes from the city’s major business hubs, Ibiza is a convenient business meeting venue that celebrates the fine pleasures of food and conversation in a relaxed, sophisticated atmosphere.
Ibiza’s main dining area was designed with the sensibilities of the business professional in mind. An inviting color scheme and European inflections create the ultimate networking atmosphere and a perfect setting for group events. A fenced patio accommodates as many as 60 guests and provides incomparable al fresco dining amid one of Houston’s most lively and entertaining areas. Private corporate and social events can be hosted at adjacent to the restaurant at Ibiza Banquet Room. With sultry beginnings as a sophisticated lounge, Ibiza Banquet Room has evolved to one of Houston’s most sophisticated meeting and banquet venues. Its design is intimate and refined, pampering guests in stylish, elevated interiors paired with gracious, welcoming service. Featuring serpentine seating along the perimeter and a 15-foot zinc bar, Ibiza Banquet Room seats as many as 70 guests for lunch or dinner and 200 for cocktail events, while the outdoor patio accommodates an additional 25 guests with sleek chairs and loveseats. Dining at Ibiza or Ibiza Banquet Room is much more than a meal… It’s an experience.
Years of culinary expertise, both stateside and abroad, are the foundation upon which Ibiza’s world-class menu has been created. Delicious, one-of-a-kind small plates start the evening; sumptuous and generous entrees follow, with delectable desserts bringing the meal to a close. Among Ibiza’s signature small plates are Pan-Seared Foie Gras with Figs and Berries and Crispy Calamari With Lime Sambal Chili Aioli, while big-plate favorites include an eclectic mix of Spanish, French and Mediterranean fare unique to the city. Owners Grant Cooper and Chef Charles Clark approve each dish before being served, and both maintain a commanding presence from Ibiza’s open kitchen that overlooks the bustling dining room. Together, Cooper and Clark guarantee that every guest is treated to a feast for the senses. A complement to the stunning cuisine, Ibiza’s groundbreaking wine program has garnering international acclaim with a massive wine wall showcasing 4,000 bottles of well-sought vintages from around the world, all priced just above retail. This renegade philosophy ensures the perfect marriage of wines and cuisine without hesitation.
Meeting and event planners should also note the sister establishment launched by Clark and Cooper. Catalan Food and Wine, located less than six miles from Ibiza along Houston’s newest restaurant row, represents a unique venue for corporate meetings and events, ensures an award-winning dining experience and shares Ibiza’s wine philosophy. Chef Chris Shepherd has garnered national acclaim by consistently stunning patrons with his bold take on Spanish cuisine, propelling Catalan into prominence on the international culinary map. The private dining Basque Room is a richly appointed enclave that successfully recreates the formal entertaining spaces of old-world Spain. Groups of up to 70 guests can enjoy the dynamic cuisine of Southern Europe while surrounded by the opulence of arched bricked ceilings and a massive display of fine wines, and the outdoor patio accommodates up to 40 guests. The Basque Room also features a flat panel television for presentations and an independent sound system that can be utilized without interference from the main dining hall, making the space a terrific location for high-quality business meetings.
