Best Tapas Restaurants in Waterfront

The food was fantastic. The waiter may have been part owner. If not, he should be. He was excellent. I have a son with Celiac, and they dedicate an area of the kitchen to cook for allergies. My son has never been able to order so many things at a restaurant, and by far his favorite experience.

Wonderful brunch! The bottomless brunch is an incredible value. You can try everything on the menu. I do not suggest that though it’s too much food. Everything we tried was served hot fresh and delicious. The whole vibe was so cool. We will be back!

I booked this particular restaurant as I wanted to give my husband his favorite food on his 65th birthday with one of his favorite chefs-José. To say that we could not have been more impressed with the food, is an understatement. We had the price fix lunch menu with a twist. My husband and I are food and wine enthusiasts. We asked our waiter, I cannot remember his name, to see if he could pair wine with each of our courses. All I have to say is 4 out of 4 courses of food blew us away, the wine pairing was spot on! It was a 5 star meal that we will remember forever. Thank you to the staff for making this afternoon a memorable meal. Aaron & Kelly G

From the moment you step into Jaleos , you’re enveloped in energy. The vibrant decor beautiful colorful throughout sets the stage for an unforgettable culinary adventure. The lively chatter and laughter of fellow diners create an atmosphere that is both inviting and exhilarating. The star of the show is undoubtedly the tapas. Each dish is a masterpiece, bursting with flavor. The grilled octopus is tender and smoky, paired with the refreshing endives with goat cheese, almonds and citrus elevates the experience. And then there’s the ibérico ham—oh, the ibérico ham! It’s nothing short of stupendous. Sliced paper-thin, it melts in your mouth, delivering an explosion of nutty, savory flavors that linger long after each bite. The service is equally impressive, with staff who are not only knowledgeable but genuinely passionate about the food they serve. In summary, Jaleos is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Spanish cuisine. With its energetic vibe, outstanding tapas, and magnificent ibérico ham, it promises an experience that delights all the senses!

We had a wonderful dinner at Oyamel after visiting the Holiday Market at Gallery Place. The food continues to be delicious. Our favorites were the cheese enchiladas with mole sauce, the sweet potato and black bean tamale, the shrimp ceviche and the mushroom tacos. The portions were just right and the prices were reasonable. We changed our party size from 4 to 5 and back to 4 again. The staff was very accommodating as we had to make changes. It was a great evening with friends
