Bar Iberico — Restaurant in Nottingham

I When with friends, who had Travelled all the way from London Just to have a lunch and then get a tea time Train back to London... so it was important for me that everything went well. I was worried that the sister restaurant was closed And that With awake in only policy, we would end up scratching around for somewhere tasty to eat. We need not have worried although it does get very busy at lunchtime because of the city centre location. Mid afternoon, it gets really much quieter however And we had no problems finding a very good table for 4. Right next to the fully opened window seat. We took the advice of the staff and ordered the Special, which means that each person picks basically a starter type and two main dishes. They were a couple of options that were not included in this special £16.95 deal or that had a surcharge (But the staff were fine to work out, which was the best for you In terms of cost). I almost gave the food a 4 star. But only because there was a slight lack of knowledge. I'm behalf of the staff to be able to describe the dish that might arrive. And therefore we had one dish that nobody touched. Thankfully, I had ordered an extra Portion of another item which proved very popular and what's happy to pay the surplus. So the was really more than enough food for everyone. As we had 30 small tapas plate between 4 people. Which sounds like a lot, but they are very small portions on each However, I would say we did all come away satisfied. A dish of particular note is the Deep fried cauliflower. Although we thoroughly enjoyed the belly pork and the sourdough with olives too. It was only the sea bass being cold and not cooked Which is fine, but we just didn't realise. And it wasn't described very well, but with episode and 2 people of Caribbean and Sri Lankan origin any fish would. Normally have sufficed, however it was cooked. The service was excellent although it is worth noting. 10% tip is added to your bill which you have to choose to remove, but we didn't. I can see why this restaurant and the sister restaurant would be Aknowledged in the michellin guide. If you want to tantalise your taste buds and test your Tolerance of something new. Then this is definitely the place to go. Ordering Tapas food is Definitely a sharing experience. And that was just what We needed when catching up with friends We had not met for over 8 years. The 2 ladies from London have already decided that they're going to cook the cauliflower chilli at home. If anyone wants to send the recipe, please get in touch #hint lol Five stars all the way and...

Disappointed with the service. Told the waiter we were first time customers to the restaurant and he talked us through the food menu. We didn’t have much time to look at the drinks as he wanted to take the order straight away, even acknowledging that we needed more time to look. My dad was about to order the Diet Coke and I asked for the lemonade which was £2.50 on the menu. The waiter then asked us if we wanted the house lemonade and can add flavours to it such as lime, raspberry etc. I assumed it would be the £2.50 with cordial. He never mentioned anything about it being a mocktail. Since we were new and non the wiser, he should of told us it’ll cost an extra £3 to add a bit of lime to our drinks. When we told the manager at the end about it whilst paying he basically gaslighted us, indirectly saying it’s our fault. We had the menu and we should of looked at the price even though our menus were taken prior to be offered the “house lemonade”. We were just being honest about the price, whilst still being polite. But manager came across as rude, and we didn’t get a thank you. It’s a shame because it’s one of the top restaurants to visit in Nottingham and wanting to try for a long time. Don’t think we’ll bother again with the way we were gaslighted. Sorry but lime doesn’t cost an extra £3, this is coming from somebody who works in a restaurant. Spent £60 overall and that was including the service charge just for...

We had been recommended this restaurant by so many people so decided to stop by today for some food.

They have amazing reviews on here and TripAdvisor so I did have really high expectations - staff lived up to these and were really helpful and informative about the dining experience.

It was advised you order everything at once and it comes when it's ready, it doesn't arrive like starter, main, dessert etc. I think I misunderstood this thinking it just all came at the same time and not in separate courses. It's quite difficult because unless you are sharing everything, one of you could have almost finished your food whilst the other is still waiting on dishes a long time after.

The truffle mushrooms came out cold - I didn't complain as I thought this must be the way they come, but I've never ordered mushrooms that have come out completely cold before which was strange. Flavours were okay on this dish

The cod skewers came out extremely fishy & soaked in what appeared to be water of some sort, which is odd as usually overly fishy cod is a sign that the cod isn't fresh, so again can't say this was good!

The beef onglet was amazing, but at this point I had filled up on bread as I hadn't enjoyed any other dishes so I didn't have room to eat it

All in all I am really sad, as from reviews I can see others had such a good experience, but sadly for us it...
