We visited The Iberian Pig during our first trip to Atlanta, and while there were some aspects that stood out, it was Brandy, the bartender, who truly made our experience memorable. Not only did she consistently make great drinks, but she was also incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. She even took the time to recommend other venues and restaurants around town, which was above and beyond. Her energy really elevated the atmosphere behind the bar, and I can’t recommend her enough!
On the flip side, there was a bearded bartender who seemed visibly frustrated, and his lack of engagement was noticeable. After Brandy dropped off our drinks, he briefly asked if we were OK, but that was the last interaction we had with him. When it came time to pay, he came over and grabbed the check as if he had been the one taking care of us all night. If tips are pooled here, it’s hard to see why he would be included, given that he wasn’t really contributing behind the bar. Brandy and the barbacks were the real stars of the show.
As for the food, we only had drinks and appetizers, but everything we tried was fantastic. The ribs were incredibly tender, falling right off the bone, and the broccolini had a great flavor. The Iberian Pig definitely lives up to the hype, and every drink we had was well-crafted and consistent (when Brandy was behind the bar).
Overall, while the staff was mostly friendly, I really hope the management addresses the behavior of the bearded bartender, as it detracted from an otherwise excellent experience. Brandy’s hospitality is what will bring me back, without a doubt.

Visited this restaurant while in town for work. Ordered a $5 HH sangria - very generous size. ordered the following:
pork cheek tacos - a bit on the salty side shell was a bit overcooked (fried for a bit too long)
mushroom crispy flatbread - wasn't so used to such a crispy dough, felt more like a cracker rather than a bread
Octopus - my favourite dish of the night - perfectly cooked - good balance of flavours
Wagyu striploin medium rare - the meat was very chewy - did not expect that since wagyu is known for being really good meat. Perhaps because it was a sirloin cut? Could use a bit more sides for a main
Service and ambiance was excellent

This tapas place is wonderful. Has plenty of Spanish hams. Their tapas was a bit saltier than I like. But tasted great nevertheless. The service was great. The staff made a mistake on our bill and put some items from other table on our bill. But she realized her own error and corrected it.

Not your typical Tapas. Parking located in the lot to the left. Very intimate setting. Service was attentive and food was delivered quick.
Started with the red Sangria.
Tried the Risotto with wild mushrooms. Did not disappoint, flavorful and cooked well. Not every restaurant knows how to make it. Second the Patatas Bravas, delicious and crispy. Not too spicy.
Third was the lomo de cerdo, came with a unique sauce. Topped off with a chocolate mousse of some sort, I think it was a special. Very delicious, the ingredients meshed well together.
Overall, this place is to be shared with someone special or special celebration to enjoy the ambience.

My husband and I had the pleasure of dining at this establishment lastnight and we were absolutely blown away by the service, ambiance, drinks and FOOD!! the staff was very friendly. We were immediately greated by Harold as soon as we walked into the restaurant, and he suggested a glass of Chardonnay, which I really enjoyed. The bartender Chris came over to our table and gave us a very detailed explanation of a few drinks that the bartenders created. My husband ordered “amigo, the devil” and it was spectacular. Our server Tiffany was exceptionally knowledgeable about the menu and referred us some really good dishes throughout the night. Seriously guys, Tiffany was the best, her service was impeccable. The Fidello pasta special was a total knockout and deserves a fulltime spot on the menu. Chef khalia made her way over to our table and also suggested a couple items on the menu to us. It was an amazing night to say the least and my husband and I can’t wait to be back.
