    I am a big fan of Chef José Andrés, so it was another pleasure to dine at Jaleo. The tapas were amazing and very tasty. The cocktails were also creative, it was nice different experience. The desserts were the happy ending of the evening. I want to thank Galileo R, our server was incredibly helpful and made recommendations based on our requests. He is well trained and very gentle.

    Nice cafe with good service, excellent cocktails, and a good range of food options. Seating was barely comfortable for dining (it's really a cocktail bar with slightly lower tables and chairs than a traditional restaurant, at least where we were seated for our 5:30pm dinner reservation. It was just too loud. Perhaps if they had seated us more than 10' from the bar it would have been better. We'd still come back but ask for a quieter table if that is an option.
