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.
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.

Bel endroit, bons plats.
La pieuvre & les calmars, délicieux.
Paëlla aux fruits de mer, bonne, mais sans plus.
Service, correct.
Une expérience? Non.
Moment agréable? Oui.
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.
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.
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.
