Tucked away on an obscure street in Menlo Park, Iberia Restaurant features a cozy bar serving a myriad of small plates and a formal dining room for full meals. The menu includes authentic Spanish selections ranging from tapas like Torta Espanola and Croquetas de Jamon, to entrees such as Parrillada Mixta, a selection of grilled meats, and Trucha con Tomate, a whole roast trout garnished with tomatoes. While the food is reminiscent of Spain, the brusque servers with arrogant attitudes do little to replicate the warm reception of dining establishments en España. While the wine list is adequate, the corkage fee of $35.00 per bottle is egregiously expensive and the inclusion of a 19 percent gratuity, regardless of number of diners in the party, is insulting. With its high prices (dinner for four $300), poor service, and seeming disdain for its clientele, Iberia Restaurant is one to be avoided.
Pros: Authentic Spnish food, Lots of parking
Cons: Arrogant servers, $35 corkage
