"the food was bland and the veggie lasagna was a mixture of hard and soft, this was a frozen meal reheated. the fish was in order, but the chips were soggy, altogether no good meal and would not go again. I also feel that their prices for the quality of food are far too high. there are better restaurants and are more competitive in liverpool."

"Good food, at rather small but appropriate portions. Excellent wine list, but most of the more interesting bottles are kept in a display stand at the entrance, good for showing off but in suboptimal (too warm/too bright) conditions. This didn 't affect the bottle we opened however. My real issue is with their business practices. An optional 12,5% service charge was added to my bill without informing me or asking my permission. The bill arrived wrapped around their business card with the lettering on the inside. Not ever before having had an optional charge added without being asked about this I paid without questions. I only found out about this once I arranged my things at home. I emailed the restaurant about this but haven 't yet had a reply. I look forward to this being addressed."

"After a long-haul flight, we arrived at this restaurant which was conveniently located next to our hotel. The manager seemed displeased with our arrival and did not make an effort to seat us, instead trying to persuade us to leave. We were willing to wait, but the manager was not accommodating. However, a cheerful and friendly female staff member assured us that a table would be available in just ten minutes. True to her word, we were seated promptly, much to the manager's dismay. The portions were small and the food was average, with prices on the higher side for what was served. Despite being grateful for a nearby dining option after our journey, we do not plan to return to this restaurant."

"We have lived in the area for years and I now wished we had discovered Boqueria earlier! We had the papatas bravas (so crunchy! and the tortilla (with creamy egg yolk inside for starters so simple but so perfectly executed! For mains, we ordered the chicken paella which was very generous but maybe a tad too salty and the pork, which was paired with an unusual lemon sorbet (it works! . For desserts, we had the cheesecakes (burnt and pistachio , which were a perfect way to finish off our meal. The meal was really fairly priced for the quality of the food. I have been to many tapas/Spanish restaurants in London and this one is definitely up there. We will come back!"

"I Loved this place! We arrived a little early for cocktails at the bar i had a Flat white martini something you must try if you like an espresso martini, well this is better! The service was fantastic and attentive. We shared a selection of Tapas as a group of four people to start with and it was amazing we just wanted more however the waiter was very good at helping us order as we had never been before, he suggested we share starters as we were wanting paella also. Good thing we did! The waiter suggested we ordered 1 paella per couple as it is a sharing dish. Wow amazing! They brought out 2 massive hot dishes of paella on a stand beside the table and the waiter served your 1st portion! We ordered one chicken and one sea food paella which was delicious ! we also ordered 1 bottle of wine for the table to go with the paella which was lovely also and i am not the biggest fan of wine but that was perfect to go with what we had to eat. Cannot wait to go back hopefully it will be soon as writing this has made me hungry haha."

"We found the food uninspired and very mediocre. Even without looking at the bill we commented that the tapas we ordered seemed bland and not as good as any other tapas restaurants we have been to in the U.K. or Spain. When we saw the bill it really hit home how it was overpriced for the quality of food. It felt very much like a chain restaurant with ore-prepared food that had just been reheated, and not like somewhere we would spend £90 for two. The service was ok; they were cheerful and smiling and explained everything well, but it took a long time to get the bill and pay."

"One of our favorite restaurants: incredibly authentic Spanish tapas that rival a place I was taken to by locals in Barcelona. They offer a specially curated menu featuring only gluten-free dishes, and there are plenty to choose from, allowing you to enjoy a generous selection of tapas. If you order the trio of dips to start, they also provide oat cakes as an alternative to bread, which I highly recommend!"

"We were really looking forward to eating here as my friend had booked a table inside the restaurant for us on Saturday 28th August. She politely asked the waitress if we could be seated outside seeing as it was a sunny day, and was promptly told there were no spaces even though we could clearly see there was. Literally within a few minutes of being seated at our table a couple walked in and asked another waitress if there were any tables outside and that they hadn't made a reservation. The waitress picked up some menus and took the couple outside and sat them at one of the empty tables! We asked our waitress why we weren't given the option to move as we had politely requested previously... she abruptly told us there had been a cancellation, which was strange as whilst we were seated at our table the phone didn't ring once. Maybe it was an online cancellation and she was probably having an off day but her attitude stank. I'm fully aware of the pressures on the hospitality industry the moment with staff shortages etc but the restaurant wasnt full. We had to ask a waiter if we could place an order for our food and drinks. The food was good but Ziques won't be my first choice when booking again!"

"One of the best Spanish restaurants in London. Have tried so many Spanish options in UK, Ibérica went way above my expectations, it strikes the right balance between quality of the food, variety of dishes, portion size, and service, without overwhelming expensive prices common on this area for a restaurant this quality. I’ve found many Spanish restaurants in London give you the basic tapas, with moderate-quality ingredients, or not cooked in the right way. Everything we had at Ibérica, was fresh and flavour-rich. From the bread with tomato, to the croquetas, meatballs, chorizo or patatas bravas. They also offer a good selection of wines. We had an excellent cava rose, tried alvarinio, and a very good blend of Cabernet Syrah for the red option. We didn’t make it to the dessert, just out of space, but plenty of good options. They also offer a set menu and a seasonal Christmas menu, but I believe it is available only some days. Will definitely come back!! Gracias."

"Been here many times and always been pleased hence returning many times. This time however we were left for 15-20 minutes without anyone even asking for a drinks order, in fairness once prompted we did get a free drink, but still pretty poor. After we ordered we did wait around 40 minutes for our food, and whilst I appreciate it takes time to prepare and serve, it did seem awfully long especially after the initial 15-20 minutes wait to order in the first place. In short great food at reasonable cost in a nice atmosphere, customer service shocking and needs sorted out before you lose customers."

"I would not recommend this restaurant. Despite having a reservation, we arrived 3 minutes early and were told to wait until our allotted time. After waiting for 25 minutes, we received no apology. The service was poor, as we were not offered a drink and when we tried to order, we were told to wait. The food was mediocre and not authentic Spanish cuisine. Our orders were incorrect, with missing items and unwanted substitutions. The waitstaff were indifferent and unapologetic. The tables were cramped, with customers having to crawl under them to leave. Overall, a disappointing and unwelcoming experience."

"the rabbit was boiled for perfection, melt softened with caramelized baby tweezers and tomatoes. it was also in the regular Spanish that it felt as if it had been negotiated with an axe with various sharp pieces of bone. apparently rustic. the salt meadow was wonderfully picked with black pudding and thin cut chorizo. the fish fleshy with a wonderful taste of the sea gives a gentle saltiness then to finish the sweet meat aromen. simple and elegant. the ham steak in px was cooked similarly well and the sauce from this wonderfully rich wein was impractical and required a part brot to enjoy it sweet. the garnels had a perfect hauch of chili heats,...more"

"tapas dinner was quite impressive. faster service also. the cheapest red was an affordable £23 and quite pleasant and light. the three of us ordered 6 tapas, which was enough when none of us were ravenous. the waiter recommends 2 to 3 tapas per person. the salt-chid brand was the first plate to arrive, and was rich and thrown with some tart tomaten as well as a sous vide runny eigelb. accompanying crostina were delicately thin and brittle, which was a beautiful contrast in the texture. trüffelmac and cheese had arrived next door. very tasty, but the sauce was somewhat too liquid for my taste. pasta could also have been firmer. again a good idea to texture in this plate, as it contained crispy brothcrumbs, which actually contained truffles, not only truffle oil. the bark tars had arrived next door. quite fresh and even aggressive sour with picked enoki mushrooms and microcutters. after the rich mac and cheese, the sharp aromes gave a welcome contrast. I could've noticed the bad ones less. bavette steak was one of the star orders. brussel tops, sweet roast cauliflower and a opaque sauce as well as thin slices of seldom grilled steak, which is a good strategy for a cut that can be a bit hard. grilled chicken leg with salsify, sage and apricot was another excellent dish. I love greetings, but can not be harassed to cook it home because the cleaning is such a choir. very delicate grilled chicken. texture was added by the apricoses, which were added as thin dewatered shaves, chewiness. the jafit of the black bell was another satisfying court. fat, salty, with crispy skin and sitting on a stew of cockerbsen and pancetta. in general, eating was well done and well thought out. service was efficient. they were totally unfazed when we told them we had to pay with the card right now because our over arrived in a minute. in March 2019, all the restaurants of the salt yard group offer a 50% discount on the lunch and dinner on Sunday. check out the section offers of the hot dinner website to book instructions for the special deal."

"We were disappointed to find that the chicken dish we wanted was sold out, and we felt like we had to leave earlier than we wanted because they closed at 6 PM, which is earlier than usual. That said, the experience is always pleasant. I do find it a bit pricey, so while I would definitely return, it might not be as frequently due to the value for money."

"Now, I can only say positive things about this place! I and my wife went to our one-year anniversary! and what a tasty bite! I would highly recommend the mahou camp if they are a drinker of the lager! it was like the sky in a pint glass! the service was amazing, the waist / and other workers, where very helpful and seem really care we had a good time! the food was a taste sensation! Apart from that it was not on the miniburgers, but they came last and after the first 4 that we had already eaten, it was a harder act to follow! we will come back and have already spread the word of this amazing place!"

"While I expected a crazy busy motherday rush, the restaurant was surprisingly quiet and while I was busy it was nothing that the staff could not handle. our waiter, while slightly sticky was polite and very friendly. he may have been cute on my mother, it has proved more than anything. during the garlauchbrotstarter proved to be disappointing perhaps as a garlic bread lover my standards are quite high! when it came to the carbonara (with added hair naturally) I was blown away. I almost went into a food cosm to finish it. Maybe it was the best carbonara I ever had! Unfortunately, no discounts were taken due to Mother's Day. this is understandable from business, but if I am a seafarer and my mother works for the nhs, it was disappointing not to use any of these discounts. overall we recommend a visit! reasonably priced and not a meal that would break the bank, which is always helpful if they are on a family dinner!"

"eating here is always excellent, and they do not scrimp on their portions, especially the paella, which is very generous! do not let them be tempted to order paella for the exact number in their party, as the portion size will be huge, unless they have no tapas stars. we were a party of 2 adults and 2 children (11 13). we had a selection of tapas stars (approx. 3 pp) followed by a paella mixta for 2 people, and we were filled! that was more than enough, actually enough for us to take away a Doggy bag that later fed 2 adult to dinner. the restaurant is consistently packed, especially on Saturday night, so reservations are advisable to avoid disappointment or long waiting times. my only handle is that the service is very slow. we have eaten there on 2 separate Saturday evenings and it always feels like they are a little short staff. at a point in the evening I saw 5 employees behind or at the bar, and only 2 tend to customer. to give something context, at this time there were only 2 customers at the bar, but a complete restaurant. if they are not in a hurry, then slower service will not be a problem, but the lack of personal neigen too tables always makes the attention of the waiting staff very laborious, and the delivery of things like drinks very slow. my biggest thing with the restaurant is the toilets, especially the lady room. with this opportunity were 2 out of 3 damen cubiken unusable, with paper and other waste substances blocked probably this is due to bad water pressure and flushing, but whatever the reason does not make for a pleasant experience, which leads to a long waiting period for the 1 work room."

"The restaurant offers a fantastic selection of tapas that are freshly prepared, authentic, and reasonably priced. Despite the busy Saturday crowd, the service was excellent and the food was outstanding. The wine selection was also impressive and reasonably priced. I loved the decor featuring vintage Spanish film posters. It's a charming small space filled with a wonderful atmosphere."

"my first visit to a restaurant in la tasca was in 1998 in didsbury, a lot. wow was my description. now I'm still going to didsbury and also to liverpool where we live. I must say that tjere was a decrease in portion sizes and service. the menu selection has decreased and prices rose. service is good. However, they have not allowed to reserve a table for groups under 8, so they first have to take a few drinks at the bar when it is busy."
