At Ibérica, the overall vibe is stylish and the ambiance is frequently praised, with many pointing to a menu of tapas, paella, octopus, croquetas and sangria that can be outstanding and food that is generally flavorful, while the service is described as professional and attentive on good nights and inconsistent or slow on others. Guests enjoy thoughtful touches that aid sharing and the quality of ingredients, but some reviews mention high prices for modest portions, dishes that are too salty or lukewarm, and a few missteps such as jamon iberico not aligning with expectations. The interior and presentation are often highlighted as impressive, though seating can feel compact and the noise level varies. Overall, Ibérica can offer memorable experiences and high quality dishes when service is smooth and the kitchen delivers consistently, while experiences can suffer if the staff is not on point or portions fall short for the price.
Server was not able to serve & take orders properly, missing dishes, kitchen was not good as well, order steak medium rare, got well done, side dishes never came to the table.
Very Smokey from the charcoal grill fumes.
Very disappointing experience from start to finish.
The restaurant itself looked nice, but unfortunately the service & overall experience completely ruined the evening.
Our server was extremely rushed the entire time to the point that he barely even understood what we were saying. We constantly felt pressured while ordering & eating, & there was no sense of hospitality or professionalism at all.
It was also very obvious that the table next to us, who spoke Spanish & were clearly more comfortable with the server, received completely different & much warmer service compared to us, which made the experience even more uncomfortable.
What made the experience even worse was being asked to pay & leave despite having a reservation, simply because they needed the table. That completely defeats the purpose of reserving in advance. Dining out should feel relaxing & enjoyable, not stressful & rushed.
Being busy is not an excuse for this kind of behavior. A professional restaurant should know how to handle busy nights while still maintaining proper service quality & treating customers with respect.

Absolutely unacceptable service. If there were an option to give zero stars, I would.
The bathroom was disgusting, there was urine all over the floor, which was extremely unsanitary.
The service was just as disappointing. Our server, a Spanish man with glasses, barely communicated with us. He did not properly explain the menu, interrupted us while we were trying to order, & seemed impatient throughout the entire experience. At one point, he spilled water on my shoes & instead of apologizing, he casually said,'It's just water.'
It was also very obvious that he was much more comfortable & attentive with the Spanish-speaking table next to us, while we were treated poorly.
What shocked me most was that despite having a reservation, we were asked to pay & leave because they needed the table(after 2 hours). What is the point of making a reservation if you are going to rush customers out? I reserved specifically to have a table available & to enjoy the experience without being pressured.
When we declined the bottle service, his attitude changed immediately, which made it feel like the quality of service depends entirely on how much money customers spend.
I have dined at much busier & far more upscale restaurants, & I have never been asked to leave. This was deeply disappointing & completely unprofessional.
Aucune écoute. La commande n'a pas bien été prise. Des patates ont été rajoutées, des crevette ont été servi à la place des palourdes & nos morceaux de boeuf ont été oubliés. Lorsqu'ils nous ont demander éventuellement la cuisson de la viande, nous avons bien précisé que la viande devait être bien cuit vue que je suis enceinte & bien sûr elle est arriver saignante ! Bref aucune compensation seulement retirer les patates de la facture. Vraiment désolant
One of the best restaurants in town, I really love it. Super service & very delicious food made by one of the best Chef, thanks Chef for unique & amazing food.

Excellent decors, Excellent service & Excellent tapas (especially the croquettas). The black paella is amazing with pretty generous portion (albeit could use a bit more seafood).The ribeye steak is a bit underwhelming & small for the price.

La nourriture est vraiment excellente, nous avons commandé 7ou8 assiettes de tapas & 1 paella pour 4 personnes on a toutes les 4 adoré !!! Staff super amical :-)
One of my favourite restaurants!! I love this place! The food is amazing & the service is wonderful! The team is so nice & takes the time to advice you & go through the menu! My recommendation when going there: share tapas (calamari are amazing, tomato salad, charcuterie & patata bravas) then share a paella ( all of them are amazing, my number one is sea food paella!). It is perfect for a date night & for a group!
We had a brilliant time at Iberica yesterday; really enjoyed the atmosphere there, & the service was excellent too. My bf isn't usually a big fan of seafood, but he absolutely loved the food there!
