    A little loud but not crowded at all, the Iberian Pig promises big flavors on tiny plates. Every dish we had was outstanding, from the crisp, lightly dressed Waldorf salad, to the marinated olives, the spectacular selection of meats and cheeses (including a local cheese that was a delight), the croquettes and crostini and sauces and dips -- everything was phenomenal. And the desserts! We opted for the seasonal dessert, as well as the olive oil gelato and the burnt Basque cheesecake with black garlic dulce de leche. I'm going to be dreaming about the desserts until we get a chance to come back! The prices were fair; our family of three, tax and tip included, spent about $220 for a 2-meat, 3-cheese charcuterie; 3 desserts; 7 dishes; and a couple Cokes. Plus the kitchen gave us two free dishes due to a mix-up on their end. All the servers & FOH/BOH staff were amazing. If you're looking for a moderately fancy night out with great food, excellent service, and amazing vibes, definitely check out The Iberian Pig.

    Honestly we’ve walked by this place 100 times on our way to Preds games and never stopped in. Needed some last minute dinner reservations before a game and landed here. We were very pleasantly surprised by the experience. We did the $65 experience and our server took excellent care of us. She quizzed us about what we like and then the plates started coming out. For the price, there was so much food. Pace yourself because the star of the show is the seafood paella and it comes out last. So delicious we will definitely work it into the pre-game dinner rotation for sure. Even with a couple cocktails each we were under $200 out the door which is pretty awesome for this quality of food on Broadway.
