Ibérica Victoria

Food is so-so, not worthy to pay and eat there when I make better dishes at home than the restaurant. The waitress is not so polite and not smart enough to manage within 10 tables, when we requested to change table for 4, the waitress couldn’t manage and told us no available table after checking the till. But when we saw an available table and ask the waitress if we could sit over there, then she checked the till and said we could change to that table. And a man, seems like manager with European accent, is even more worse. There were 3 people on the table with 1 empty seat, obviously we were waiting for the guest to come for order, but that manager interfered 2-3 times and urged us to order when we were chatting, then I said I want to have a drink menu, a simple sentence but he asked for 3 times to get my message. The second time (or third time ?) he came to us, when we said we need some more time, his facial expression was not happy and asked me again what I was saying. Then I said “we are waiting our guest, the lady, to order, we need some more time, take your time!” He was shocked and told me please calm down, I told him I was very calm and the lady was coming, please come later! Actually there’s no point to urge customers to order food as the tables were not full and more than 75% tables were not occupied. So what’s the point to urge customers to order ? and keep asking the customer to repeat sentence ? could he literally speak and hear English or is there any problem for the staff’s communication ability ? We could have ordered drinks but finally we didn’t because all mood was ruined by the staffs. I will tell my friends for the terrible experience from this restaurant.

Tried corn fed chicken and hake fish as main but the food take our minds so I even forgot to take a picture. Sweet potato, squid and patatas bravas were also amazing choices as tapas 💙

We stumbled upon this beautiful restaurant and just had a wonderful time. We ordered tapas and the service was excellent as well as a beautifully quiet atmosphere. Wonderful decor. Nice views from the second floor to the street below. If you need to use the elevator (lunch was on the second floor) by all means ask the staff when you walk in. We did so. Come hungry! We ordered tapas and the highlights were 3 dishes - the tortillas and the potatoes and the beets.

Food was good in general but some dishes are poorly prepared Had 7 tapas, 1 black rice (main) and churros for the 3 of us and was full. So portion size was okay (3 dish per person on average). Shrimp, calamari, pork ribs (an item on the specials menu), octopus and the black rice was top notch. Rice was a bit too salty for me but the other parties in the table liked it. Chicken however was a bit dry. And the clams (served with chicken) and mussels (its own dish) has sand inside. So I am pretty sure they don’t prep them well instead of being an individual incident. The bell pepper (served with the pork ribs) were also not de-seeded properly and agaiin it affected the texture/taste of the dishes. The mushroom was a bit on the rawer side and not exciting. Serving speed a bit fast but acceptable. Waitress also spilled wine from perrón twice.

Restaurant has a very beautiful appearance, and we arrived with high expectations to try the paella. After being accommodated, we waited for a significant time until we needed to call the waiter, who then informed us that we had forgotten, although the restaurant was not very busy. We ordered the paella, but were told that it was no longer available. We asked if the seafood risotto would serve two people, and the waiter assured that it was. However, when the dish arrived, it was clear that it was a portion for one person. When confirming with another waitress, she informed us that the dish was really for one person only. If we had been informed correctly, we would have chosen other options. In addition, the service was quite time-consuming, even to request the bill. Unfortunately, we ended up leaving and going to another restaurant Because we were still hungry. I don't usually do reviews, but this experience was disappointing. With a little more attention to the service and clarity in the information, our experience would have been completely different.

Lovely atmosphere upstairs. Some staff were very confused, had to wave throughout the night to get service, they’ve no side vision. Eventually got up to walk over for what our table needed. Food very average and served slightly warm. Churros were very thin with chocolate which didn’t taste like nice full cream chocolate. Padron peppers was tasteless. Nice bread and olives and the olive oil tastes good quality. Dead bouquet at the front desk was bizarre. Very cold downstairs.

We decided to try out Iberica last night after being recommended by a couple of friends. We were not disappointed! What a fantastic experience. Great atmosphere and brilliant service, thanks to the team for looking after us so well. Probably the best tapas i’ve ever tried in London. Beautifully presented and so tasty. PS: the black rice was out of this world! 😋. Can’t wait to go again!

I tried different tapas and chicken paella. The food was good. The staff can improve the service: we had to ask for the drinks, the order, the dessert. If you are looking for a quite place, avoid this one. It is very noisy. The bread is very good
