Bistro Iberia

What a gem of a place!! The food was delicious. I will be back. I’ll most likely be dreaming about the tapas!! The Garlic shrimp ( shrimps are big), the lobster crepe and Caesar Salad were decadent and tasty. Their take on paella was great too. The seafood was fresh and cooked just right. And a happy surprise was how perfect their house made ice cream was. The Catalina flavor is magnificent!! Btw, they are a byob🤩

A hidden Gem!!! A must for foodies. The Octopus appetizer was perfectly cooked, great texture and taste. We enjoyed the beautifully prepared pallia which was scrumptious. The duck breast was amazing, tender and so very tasty. The wait staff was attentive and caring. Complimentary champagne and garlic olives provided a nice beginning. The live guitarist added to to the romantic ambiance. We will come back.

This was our first time dining at this new (5 weeks young) restaurant but it won’t be our last! There were two stars that shined bright tonight: the food, and the head server Michael. The food was inventive and beautifully presented. We started with the complimentary olives, roasted garlic, caper berries, olive oil, and bread. The quality of the olive oil was very good and the roasted garlic was creamy and complimented the bread perfectly. The pitted olives were large and had a mild brine to them. Our first course consisted of the grilled octopus and the watermelon, feta, and iberico ham. The octopus had a nice char which gave it a rich flavor. The sweetness of the watermelon complemented the saltiness of the feta and ham. The feta had a rich flavor. It was obviously of high quality. The entrees were all superb. I did not taste the swordfish but our friend really enjoyed it. It was served over kale, garlic confit, clams, chorizo, fennel, and potato in a rich broth. Two of us had the honey lavender roasted duck breast, which was served with brussels sprouts, mushroom, leeks, sunchokes, and tomato. It was tender and was a huge hit. The fourth entree consisted of a duo of perfectly cooked and seasoned pistachio crusted double lamb chops. It came with a flavorful pearled couscous with dried fruit and exotic spices. I could taste the Moorish influences. We ended the meal on a high note with two desserts: a fall spiced crème brûlée and a rich deep chocolate flourless cake topped with crystallized orange with fresh strawberries and blueberries. The service was sublime. Michael was passionate about making sure we all were happy with every aspect of the food and service. I enjoyed his personality and appreciated his recommendations. We look forward to our next Bistro Iberia experience! Highly recommended!

We were delighted with the menu and service. A bit chilly inside, bring a sweater. Grilled octopus was perfectly done/tender, served with a crunchie celery salad. Paella, swordfish, lobster crepe- sealed the deal for a return ressy. The owner said the building was the old Highlands Post Office at one time; keeping the exposed clay tile, tin ceiling and cement floor for an eclectic feel. Tables were dressed with white table clothes and sparkling glasses. BYOB. Our new favorite.

Wow.

We have a Spanish exchange student who wanted some Spanish food.

She was very happy.

My American family was very happy. The food, the service, the atmosphere is so fantastic.

Please go and keep this great restaurant on the Bayshore!

Food was excellent! Owner and staff were very friendly and attentive. I recommend the lobster crepes as a start and lamb chops and duck as a main course.

Decided to try this new restaurant in town to celebrate my birthday tonight So glad we did!! The food was so delicious. We had the shrimp in garlic appetizer and shared the paella dish for dinner, followed by creme brûlée and Pistachio ice cream for dessert. Everything was done perfectly. The in house bread was fantastic pared with an assortment of olives in olive oil. We even had the opportunity to chat with the owner Mike who made us feel very welcomed. We highly recommend giving this new spot a try. You will not be disappointed!

Our second visit to this restaurant and once again amazing. All dishes prepared with a unique flavor like no other restaurant in the area. If you like duck you will love this dish And if you are unsure if you like duck this is the place to try it. Paella Amazing. Lamb chops Amazing. Appetizer of clams, Sliced pork, And marinated vegetables, A combination I would never think of but amazing. We plan on going back and working our way through the entire menu. Nice room, Pleasant staff, Bring your favorite high-end bottle of wine To match the meal.

Simply put, you have to go. Food and atmosphere are second to none! Spoke with the owner a few times while there - down to earth, warm, and friendly - which is reflected in the overall dining experience. My wife and I had the lobster crepe for the first course, and got the duck breast and paella for the second course. Some of the best food we've ever had...you have to go!

Fantastic evening! The food was wonderful, the staff all polite and knowledgeable, the service was terrific and well choreographed, and the atmosphere was charming. Expensive, but you get what you pay for. Live spanish guitars a very nice touch. Felt like we were in our favorite neighborhood bistro in Europe. A must for all foodies, and for those who enjoy a pleasurable and authentic dining experience!

Exquisite food. We had the lobster crepe appetizer followed by the Tuna and Paella. Everything was perfectly cooked with layers of delicious and interesting flavors. Each dish was thoughtfully and beautifully crafted. The service was impeccable and the atmosphere was lovely and serene. A must!

The only things that top the romantic ambiance of Bistro Iberia are the outstanding food and attentive servers. We had the gazpacho, roasted peppers and the lamb, which was among the best that I've ever had. The unique combination of mustard and pistachio flavors were delicious. The host and our server were friendly and appropriately chatty. I can't wait to return and highly recommend it to others (although selfishly, I want to keep this place all to myself!).

Outstanding food. Had the cold Spanish style soup as a starter. Then the octopus is like they make it in northern coastal part of Spain. Delicious. Very friendly service. Can’t wait for my next experience!

Our experience was so lovely! At a table of six we each ordered from the exciting menu. I ordered the gazpacho as appetizer and the Spanish Mackerel entree. Others ordered different appetizers and entrees. As we enjoyed our own wine (I love BYOB restaurants) all delighted in our own and each other's appetizers, because we couldn't help sharing around the table. My favorite appetizer was the pulpo, grilled to perfection. (I'll order that next time!). The gazpacho was cool—not too cold— so all the flavors came through. The mackerel was beautifully presented with batatas and espinaca. It did not disappoint. The swordfish just melted in the mouth, it was so tender. Desert was also shared - a creamy, dark chocolate confection and a creme brule, with rich, dark, hot cups of french-press coffee. The service was superb. Nothing about Bistro Iberia was anything but highly enjoyable. I'll be telling people about it and I'll back!!

The lamb dish was delicious. I enjoyed the peppers, so good!
The atmosphere is quaint, loved it. BYOB we love. Service was impeccable. Kudos to the Chef.

The authentic Spanish food was delicious, fresh and beautifully presented. We had the pulpo, mackerel, gaspacho and escabeche. The service was enthusiastic, attentive and helpful in ordering. We will return!

What a treat to experience such a diverse selection of authentic Iberian cuisine! The atmosphere was wonderful; friendly waitstaff, great menu options and an overall delicious experience! Thankfully, not another Italian restaurant.

This is such a cool restaurant with excellent food & service. I will be returning 🤗!

Went on a Wednesday night. Bistro Iberia is in a great space and we had excellent service. Our meal was fantastic and will definitely return. Just a very enjoyable experience! 👍❤

Found this little gem the other night. New restaurant, Mediterranean style menu, BYOB, food was amazing, atmosphere is quaint, friendly service. We will be back!
