Iberico Tapas Y Vino - Saint James

Just so perfect,I love everything about this place.Its a

Amazing food. One of my favorite restaurants on Long Island. Go and find out for yourself. You will not be disappointed if you like authentic Spanish food.

Absolutely amazing food friendly staff!! Place is small so reservation recommended!

The owner (Jake) was pushing us to hurry up and order our entire meal within 30 seconds of us getting drinks for our 5pm reservation saying they get busy at 7-730 and he needed the table. He did it again after we ordered our first round of tapas trying to get us to order all food at one time instead of a few at a time as we wanted and planned, thus the 5pm early rsvp. His behavior was completely inappropriate as we were one of two tables to be occupied and yet we were finished with dinner at 7 anyway, just wanted to leave at that point and there was still no one waiting to be seated. Any additional time staying there would have added to our already sizeable tab as we would have ordered more food, drinks, dessert and coffee. We frequent nice restaurants and he would be wise to remember that first time customers become loyal repeat customers but the first impression needs to be a good one. If he was not such a poor host we might have gone back and perhaps his biz would grow so he can move out of the 8 table strip mall location. With so many choices of nice places to eat, the food and owners hospitality here are just not worth it.

We had an amazing experience dining at Iberico Tapas y Vino last night! After dealing with a reservation blunder made by a very well known, reputable restaurant, who's solution for their mistake was trying to seat our party each person traveling nearly an hour away to celebrate a 50th birthday at a cramped table pretty much in front of the restaurant's main door where the weather outside was less than 20 degrees accompanied by a blistering wind chill, we called a restaurant located a few doors down to try and save this special occasion night. To our surprise, the owner picked up, and although his restaurant was booked as well for the night, he said to come over and he would make it work and accommodate us. When we entered the establishment, we were immediately greeted by the owner, who was a warm, friendly gentleman. He seated us at a very comfortable table, then went out of his way to provide us with an excellent dinning experience. The staff were all extremely friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, and the food itself was nothing short of terrific! Authentic dishes prepared with love and a deep understanding of the culture which inspired it. Great food, great people, great atmosphere, great customer service, and just a warm and kind, down to earth owner. For those reasons, I highly recommend this restaurant!!!
