I had a reservation for NYE booked in advance with OpenTable. When doing the reservation there was the option to chose standard menu & NYE menu. We ended up choosing the standard option because we wanted to try other things in the menu. On the 31st around mid afternoon, we got a call from the restaurant saying that standard option was not available, & we had to stick to NYE menu, although reservation allowed otherwise. A call with this'new information' on the day of the reservation, on a day in which is difficult to find another place with such short notice, is totally unacceptable. Hopefully this will be a learning for the future for Iberica. We were really looking forward to try it.
& yes, there was the option to do the reservation as'standard reservation'. Here is the screenshot at 3pm on December 31st after I got the call from the restaurant & I was wondering if the mistake had been mine, but no… Continue with standard reservation was always an option.

Nous avons réservé une table pour deux à l'occasion d'un moment spécial. La serveuse nous a gentiment installé à une table charmante, idéale pour célébrer comme il se doit.
Service excellent & nourriture délicieuse.
Merci encore pour cette belle expérience !

Ate here for NYE dinner. Got food poisoning from what was likely seafood paella clams. Also got locked in the bathroom similar to review above. Feel sick today.

Overpriced & the food didn't taste good at all. We were given the new year's eve menu. The crab soup smells nice but tastes bitter, & i did not like it, but the waiter offered to switch to another course for us very nicely. The seafood paella is mid, not seasoned well & u would not like it if u like strong flavor. Would not recommend going. Also got locked inside the restroom lol.

For starters, we have dined here for the New Year's, where there was a special seafood based 4 course 125$ menu (it was the only thing we could order)
The food was pretty mediocre, nothing special. Some dishes we're sgnificantly too salty but overall better than nothing. Definitely not worth the price, but it was edible enough. We also left hungry, but that's to be expected in a high end restaurant.
The service was slow, we waited for about an hour after our appetizers for our main (we were one of the first customers & the restaurant wasnt that busy), so quite annoying, but in an acceptable range (The entire meal was more than 2h & we are fast eaters). The server was nice & I have had my water refilled more than anywhere I have been.
The atmosphere however was quite good, the restaurant was incredibly beautiful.
Personally I believe that food is the most important part of a restaurant, which is why I wouldn't recommend this to anyone else.

Tellement une belle découverte! Absolument tout était délicieux! Avec les judicieux conseils d'Alex, pour 3 personnes, nous avons choisis 4 plats à partager en entrée & une paella à partager au plat principal
Pour moi, cette paella était meilleure que celles mangé en Espagne ! « Socarrat » inclus
Je recommande sans hésitation!

Restaurant que j'ai fréquenté à plusieurs reprises & auquel je suis habituée. Je l'ai d'ailleurs découvert avec mon ex-partenaire &, comme nous l'aimions beaucoup, nous y sommes retournés fréquemment. C'est un très bel endroit, bien éclairé & agréable. Portée par mon enthousiasme, j'y suis ensuite allée avec ma meilleure amie, qui a adoré l'expérience notamment le plat de la pieuvre, peut-être en raison de son côté portugais comme elle me le dirait.
Cela dit, lors de notre dernière visite le 17 décembre, l'expérience a été décevante. Le service laissait à désirer : aucune présentation du serveur, des commentaires quelque peu déplacés sur nos choix de plats, dont un fameux « Ce plat est trop pour vous ». Nos verres d'eau n'ont jamais été remplis & aucune vérification n'a été faite pour savoir si nos plats nous plaisaient, & ce, malgré une cuisson & des portions qui nous ont tout de même satisfaites.
Un autre détail, certes mineur mais notable : la musique. Bien que j'apprécie beaucoup The Weeknd, des chansons comme The Hills ou Often ne me semblent pas appropriées pour ce type d'établissement.
Pour toutes ces raisons, je ne crois pas y retourner de sitôt. Je pense sincèrement que le restaurant gagnerait à revoir sa gestion & son organisation.

La nourriture était excellente, le service rapide & l'ambiance vraiment agréable. Les serveuses & le busboy étaient super gentils. Par contre, le serveur qui nous a pris en charge… vraiment décevant. Aucun sourire, aucune communication.
Au début, on s'est dit que c'était peut-être à cause du retard de certains invités, donc on a laissé un très bon pourboire pour s'excuser. Mais à la fin, quand on a voulu prendre quelques belles photos pour l'anniversaire, il avait un air irrité & condescendant.
Ça a vraiment gâché notre expérience dans un restaurant pourtant très beau. Dommage qu'un seul employé puisse laisser une si mauvaise impression.

Exceptional experience. Worth the cost. Beautiful plating of the food. Very good croquetas, paella was properly seasoned & flavourful & everything was perfectly cooked notably the shrimps (shrimps were jumbo size) , calamari, tenderloin, octopus, all of of it. All the tapas that we tried, & we tried about 7 or 8 tapas were quite good I would get them all again
They were very busy however were able to accomodate well & were very professional & accomodating.
The churros was really good & as well as the accompanied dulce de leche sauce was one of the best dulce de leche I have ever had.
The cocktails were good too! As well as the chardonnay that we had
We were there for a birthday, great experious overall ! Thank you

We walked into this place with a party of four on a Tuesday with no reservations & they were able to seat us right away.
The place we initially tried to go to was packed, so we settled here, but we're glad we did!
Everything ended up being awesome. Our highlights were the shrimp appetizer, the filet medallions, Calamari, Paella, their baby romaine salad was great too.
Don't hesitate to come visit!

Food was Amazing one of the best sea bass I ever had delicious
Stacy
Excellent food & service. The lobster croquettes & patatas bravas were amazing. The octopus was good but needs a little more kick to it, maybe some more acid or heat, but overall a great experience.
Reda
Food was amazing but Service was terrible. Waited 30 minutes to get a table despite having a reservation. Asked for a new bill because we couldn't understand how they split the ones they gave us & they just said they couldn't & we had to pay whatever the bill says lol.

Très déçu de la paella que nous avons mangé à ce restaurant. C'est un très beau restaurant & le service était impécable, mais le plus important n'était pas au rendez-vous. Dommage.
