DANBURY, CT — A Danbury tapas bar is the latest coronavirus casualty.
Ibiza Tapas, a fixture at 93 Mill Plain Road for the past decade, will shutter permanently on Wednesday after nearly a year of declining revenue due to pandemic restrictions.
Co-owner Laura Arias said that her other restaurant, Ibiza Kitchen at 76 King Street in Chappaqua, New York, will remain in business and honor Ibiza Tapas gift cards.

"Our sales dropped at least 75 percent," said Arias, a native of Columbia. When the restaurant was allowed to reopen for outside dining, it simply did not have enough space to make it work, she said. The establishment came close to making a comeback when coronavirus restraints were loosened and she was allowed to fill her dining room up to 75 percent. The death knell sounded when regulations were ratcheted back to 50 percent.
