The onions were only undercooked if you're someone who doesn't like raw onions in the first place. I found they added a great sweetness to the asado. (Not to mention whatever marinade was on the asado - it tasted like worcestershire sauce and a little brown sugar, with possibly some garlic and black pepper. I could be wrong on the ingredients, but that's what I remember it tasting like. The scallops were cooked perfectly, but the chorizo butter lacked the kick I was hoping for. Jill's Zarzuela was excellent, as was my Pollo Vasco. I only had a couple bites of her dish, but my chicken was perfect. I'm someone who generally doesn't order chicken at any restaurant but because of what I'd eaten in my previous couple meals, I wanted to err towards the lighter side. The chicken packed plenty of flavor for a light dish, and the risotto was impeccable. The "creme brulee" was a MAJOR disappointment. It had the texture of flan. But we didn't order flan. We ordered creme brulee. For me, it put a bit of a damper on the whole meal. So if anyone can suggest a place near Isla Ibiza to do dessert after having a main dinner there, we might have a perfect date night.

Isla Ibiza is wonderful! There is some duck breast tapas dish that we've had twice. It is out of this world. They also do $5 tapas/cheaper sangria for happy hour 5-7 and 10-12 on weeknights (and weekends?)- but only at the bar.
