Iberia Restaurant I still remember the first time when I went to Iberia restaurant, I invited
my girlfriend because I was dating her, and she is the type of person
that she enjoys a good food in the restaurant more than ever. I wanted
to give a good impression to her, my coworker told about that restaurant
so we went there and once we went there she was so impressed because of
the food; in fact, after 10 years of marriage she still like to going
to the restaurant. Food is excellent. Ramon

My boyfriend took me here after we returned from our vacation in punta
cana where we ate fish everyday, and we also did a med cruise last october.
The food here is fabulous. I am still thinking about the huge dish of
seafood he ordered for us; lobster, shrimp, clams, mussels, squid,
scallops, some type of white fish, with rice. It was amazing!!!!!!!!!
I enjoyed this as much as any seafood dish I had in Spain (maybe even more).
I thought the service was just right. If you are a real seafood lover
go here. I don't want the wait staff hanging on me, just bring me
my fresh, delicious seafood and let me enjoy. I am from Philly and haven't
had a meal as good as this since. Hope he takes me back soon!!!!!

Food used to be much better, quality went down. Went with a family member
and we were ignored most of the time. We had the rudest waiter in the world..
totally apathetic.. Emilio. When it came time to pay the bill, the bill
was $95, no small change. My son tipped him exactly the number of times
he came to our table, 4 times.. $4.00. Once to give us menus, once to bring
our appetizers, once to bring our meal and once to bring the check. We
had to practically tackle him for service. This kind of service was repeated by other waiters 2 other times I was
there. I'm finished with Iberia!

Well, first of all, this restaurant should be closed. I don't
know who taught owners of this restaurant education about hygiene.
Dim lights help to cover all the dust in the walls.
I stepped in 2 times thinking it was just one of those maintenance
days. NO! I think owners pay hygiene inspectors very good to keep
away this place to be closed.
We all know Newark is not San Francisco Bay, but when you ask about
a restaurant you think about some place nice and clean.
Service is the worst you can experience!!! Expect to argue with
one of those portuguese wanna be waiters. They are far away to
be kind and respectful; somebody should instruct them BASIC
aspects about good manners and education...but well, the owner
is there just to earn money to sell and fool customers with also
doubtful quality food.
Some prices are expensive for the poor quantity and quality of
dishes you will get. The famous rodizio is a bullshit, unless
you have a whale stomach you will enjoy the whole thing....oh
I almost forgot, you CAN'T share the rodizio otherwise expect
to have a new argue.
Food is just a cheap copy of Portuguese Cuisine. Do you know what?
Instead of driving there, go online, look up for Portuguese Recipes,
buy the ingredients and have a dinner for yourself or your guests...you
never know you might be an excellent Chef. In the other hand, fly
to Spain or Portugal and figure out why this food isn't original. Finally, my advice, don't go to eat in that restaurant neither
if you are in a hurry or starving to death. It doesn't worth
any penny of your wallet, neither to have a bad day with the personnel.
Make a sandwich for yourself or look up a "REAL RESTAURANT" P.S. This opinion goes also for the other Iberia Restaurant that
is located in front. One star is still too much to rate this place. Thank you,
Giorgio Pasciolla

FIRST OF ALL, I AGREE WITH TONI & PAMELA THE SERVICE THERE
IS DISGRACEFUL, THE WAIT PERIOD IS LUDACRIS, ESPECIALLY IF
IT'S NOT THAT CROWDED. THE STAFF DOESN'T GREET THE CUSTOMER'S, THEY
STARE YOU IN THE FACE AS IF YOUR IN THE WRONG PLACE. SECONDLY THE
PRICES FOR FOOD IS BONKER'S, A DAM LOBSTER MEAL WITH LITTLE
RICE AND CHEAP ASS SALAD, COST'S $65.90.I PREFER NOT TO
EAT IN SUCH PLACE LIKE THIS, IF I'M PAYING $69.50 FOR A MEAL, THEN
I WANT THE QUALITY SERVICE A CUSTOMER SUPPOSE TO HAVE.

Do not believe the hype. This place is by far the worst Spanish/Portuguese
restaurant I have ever visited. The decor is dirty looking and
about as inviting as a cafeteria. The service is slow and rude
(hostess and wait staff). The shellfish still has sand in it.
The lobster is low quality. And the salad is cheap iceberg lettuce
with a slice of tomato and a sliver of cucumber. Disgusting! Go
to Forno's of Spain just down the street for a truly remarkable
dining experience!!!
