- EElizabethSan Francisco Bay Area •2 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoA 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.More infoIberian Pig - NashvillePrice: Moderate• Spanish• The Gulch•4.9
