Iberica Farringdon, Bar Area

Excellent food and service! Literally walked into this establishment without reservation nor reading any reviews - very pleasantly surprised. Worth every penny - dinning out these days has become quite costly and increasingly so…

Very disappointing experience. We have been coming here once a year over the last 5-6, and the quality has been slowly but surely going down. From being charged £4.95 for water when we had clearly said 'tap water' (we also got the £49 wine bottle...), to the 3 poxy strips of bread (see picture) with the sobrasada, the tiny suckling pig strip for £25, or the fact that our waitress told us bread with tomato was not available yet the long table next to us got several plates as apparently 'they had prebooked' (??!???!?!), and finally, the 12.5% service charge when our waitress did not once come over to ask how our meal was, and paid very little attention to us. The paella was OK, the patatas bravas were correct, and that was that. Never again.
