Review Summary

Ibérica consistently receives praise for its beautiful, upscale interior and authentic Spanish cuisine, with many patrons highlighting the octopus, paella, and various tapas as standout dishes. While numerous guests describe their dining experiences as memorable and top-tier, featuring warm and professional service, others report significant inconsistencies. Frequent complaints center on slow or cold service, occasional errors in order accuracy, and concerns regarding portion sizes relative to price. Although the ambiance is widely appreciated, some visitors note challenges with noise levels, cramped seating, and maintenance issues in the washrooms. Ultimately, while many customers consider this a favorite destination for quality food and cocktails, the overall experience can vary depending on the specific service provided during a visit.

When we walked in the host was so nice. We said we were just going to order a drink & he smiled & gave us a menu'just in case.' We sat at the bar & the bartender Alex was excellent, friendly, & professional. Our drinks were amazing. We of course ordered food too! We had calamari, crocqettas, & pan con tomato. We would have gone back the next night for paella but they were closed & unfortunately we had to go home. Everyone was welcoming & I would highly recommend. Contemporary, upscale, but warm & inviting.

Lovely food, atmosphere & location.. but service ??.. horrid !!!. especially for & esablishment of this caliber & reputation; super cold reception.. no even a'hello'.. my friend & I got seated.. I was made to feel like I was bothering the person that took my order.. no one came to refill our glasses.. no one came by the table to ask if we needed anything.. I had to stand up & go find the waiter across the restaurant on more than one occasion.. a real embarassment..

Gorgeous interior design, food was delicious. Service was a bit slow & we had to wave servers down to get utensils, but I think that was just because it was especially busy. Paella is not to miss!

We were waiting in a queue to get a table for two. We were the second party of two in the row. When we went back one hour after to ask what's the situation, we were told we were the fourth party in the queue.

Une expérience globalement décevante. Service très impersonnel & froid (vraiment). Nous avons commandé du jambon de bellota à 50$ pour seulement 50 g. Le serveur a échappé un gros morceau par terre au moment de servir, & ne nous a pas offert de le remplacer (!!!). De plus, ce jambon était coupé extrêmement mince (effiloché) ce qui nous empêchait complètement d'expérimenter la texture & le goût typique de ce jambon. Croquette de jambon couvertes de sauces, trop petites, très salées (on est très loin de la croquette espagnole typique qui est moelleuse & dodue). Paella peu généreuse en ingrédients pour le prix élevé (deux crevettes, deux rondelles de calmars, quelques coquillages pour 49$...). Nous étions ravies de nous offrir une belle soirée dans un restaurant espagnol... mais nous ne sommes pas senties bien accueillies du tout & le prix payé était beaucoup, beaucoup trop élevé pour ce que nous avons mangé, tant au point de vue de la qualité que de la quantité. Seul point positif : le restaurant est très beau.
