Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We enjoyed our food, but the highlight for us was the excellent service given to us by our server Jasmyna . She was lovely and gave excellent service. I was also impressed by the range of sherries and Spanish draught beers

Food was fantastic, very tasty and generous tapas portions. Service was lovely, made to feel very welcome and a great atmosphere in the restaurant. Ideally placed in the Lace Market area of Nottingham. Would highly recommend!

A favourite of ours but sadly we haven’t been for a couple of months. Service was great, as always, friendly staff. We had our usual, bellota ham and a spanish cheeseboard followed by a choice of the hot tapas. Today’s choice was the ponzu cured...fish, fennel à la plancha and the cheese and onion empanadas. All were lush and beautiful, no complaints at all. We’ve been coming here for a number of years and it never disappoints!More

Firstly this review has no bearing on the staff and manageress as they was very nice and helpful, the manageress apologised on the kitchens behalf. The rating is for the quality and service coming from the kitchen . We have eaten here many times and...been excellent but not been in 2 years . The food was a poor standard . Chicken poor quality and toasted bread burnt hidden by tomato’s so we wouldn’t notice but you tasted the burnt . The food was pretty average on par with a boozer . The tapas service was also poor . My wife’s dish came out and nothing else for 10 minutes , we both had it slowly until the rest appeared with one starter ie bread and tomato coming last after the tapas . The manageress apologised and refunded the poor parts . Never again thanks .More

We tried this place for the first time on Saturday, after reading all the reviews. The positives: Great vibe, speedy service. The negatives: Food overly spicy - the Patatas Bravas was ludicrously hot. Set my tongue on fire and I couldn't enjoy the rest of...the meal because of it. I do like some spice in my food, but not enough to completely swamp it. I'd give it 5 stars, had it not been for the overly hot Patatas Bravas! https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ShowUserReviews-g186356-d10809811-r918305188-Bar_Iberico-Nottingham_Nottinghamshire_England.html#More

Food was really good, however staff wasn’t helpful at all. Never came to check on us, waited long for them to bring me a knife, also they brought my friend’s food 30 minutes after mine.

We popped in here for lunch on a whim - it was before 12 and we were seated and served immediately. Everything we tried was really nice. I had the seabass ceviche all to myself and it was absolutely delicious. The hispi cabbage dish was...lovely, and the cheese and charcuterie board was small but impressively delicious. I don't love truffle but the enoki mushroom dish was nice and the pickled mooli atop it was delicious. Our servers were attentive and friendly, particularly the lady with bright red hair - thank you.More

I visited with two colleagues on an overnight trip to Nottingham and we all ordered tapas to share. We had to wait for around 25 mins for a table since it was busy on a Wednesday night, so worth booking. It was worth the wait,...the food was all excellent, we all ordered tapas dishes and shared everything. Particular stand outs for me were the croquetas, pork pincho, the chicken and the gambas Pil Pil. The jamón serrano was also excellent quality. We had 10 dishes between us an without drinks it was just over £30 each including the tip. Great value for the quality. Really nicely done out restaurant too, great atmosphere and authentic tapas. Staff were great.More
