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.

UPDATED VERSION AFTER 1 YEAR:
Amazing team who took care of my review seriously. My group went back a year later, & we got served professionally. Everyone was polite but friendly, which made our night enjoyable. I really appreciate the effort of the team.

Amazing food BUT HORRIBLE SERVICE..

I have been there a few times with friends & family, it has been going great with fantastic food & services. However, tonight was REALLY disappointing. The waitress i got was RUDE & COLD. She had never smiled, didn't ask how the food was & didn't say'bye' or'thank you', which should be a standard in customer service. I believe that if you work in customer service, you should at least say'bye' &'thank you'…

I wish the service would be as consistent as their food. It has unfortunately given a bad impression on the restaurant Iberica, which made my group feel hesitant in coming back.

The bread with tomatoes was simply amazing. The octopus was perfectly boiled but unfortunately the sole meunière - the reason why we chose that restaurant - was overcooked. I felt bad for the sweet waiter who was cutting it for us as it was a bit challenging because the fish wasn't cooked properly. The tables were a bit too close to each other & no one could get up without hitting the table next to them… including the different waiters. I understand the need to make money & serve more tables but with such a layout, everyone is miserable: the clients as well as the employees. Finally, please get your customers a decent sink & hot water. The water tap doesn't close properly & it's freezing.

Petit restaurant fait en longueur à deux étages. Le repas était bon . Le service impeccable . Pour l'espace nous étions vraiment tassés . Musique forte . Surtout clientèle jeune.

We went as part of MTL à Table & found the experience adequate. After we placed our order from the event's tasting menu, our server mentioned that the best options were actually on the regular menu. This was perhaps not ideal to hear as we waited for our meal but good to know if ever we return. The food we tried was fine yet portions were a tad small.

The staff, the drinks, the food, the ambiance really made this evening special. Came to Iberica with some friends for a late dinner & we were not disappointed. Each menu item is clearly well thought out & the flavours in every bite show that the chefs clearly care for every dish. The bartender Jay was very pleasant & kept the bar clean & the manager was very charismatic & professional. It's worth a visit.

La nourriture était très bonne & le service s'est bien déroulé pendant le repas. En revanche, à la fin, le serveur a remis en question le montant du pourboire laissé, ce qui est très déplacé. Le pourboire est un geste laissé à la discrétion du client, pas une obligation. Son attitude condescendante au moment de notre départ a vraiment gâché l'expérience. C'est dommage, car tout le reste était très bien.

Menu du nouvel an honteux & prétencieux. On se demande si la quantité est faite pour une ou deux personnes tellement il n'y a rien dans l'assiette. De ce fait le prix est exorbitant par rapport a la qualité & à la quantité. 98 dollars pour si peu, quel gâchit !
