Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Penn Quarter

It is pure fine dining. The food is delicious from start to finish and the money you spend is worth it. The drinks presentation wise are elaborate, but maybe not needed.

I went for my birthday celebration. We had a table of 4. All of the servers were attentive, suggestive with menu items and drinks, and polite. The attire requiring business casual, made the dining experience exceptional for the occasion. It fit the motif and the level service to expect. The food was amazing and creative. I definitely would go again. I would recommend the restaurant for special evenings with family and loved ones as well.

We had a great dinner. The food was wonderfully prepared with interesting combinations of ingredients and flavors. The service was attentive but not overly so. We enjoyed the buzzing atmosphere—not quiet but not so loud to interfere with conversation. Overall a very memorable experience!

We had been wanting to have dinner at Jaleo for the past few years and finally got to go tonight for my wife’s birthday dinner. Let me start off by saying that it lived up to and exceeded our expectations. We had the mid-range tasting menu with the sherry pairing and every bite was delicious. Our experience was enhanced by our server Carlos’ knowledgeable description of each course and each of the sherries. We look forward to coming back.

Love love the aesthetic and the vibe. Ultra-cool. Service was excellent. I wish the drinks were better. We both got a cocktail, and while they were good, they weren't amazing - which was an expectation we both had. They didn't seem to have enough liquor in them and really mild on flavor. The food however, was great. Would definitely go again as the presentation of the restaurant from coming out of the ride share and walking up, to being seated was such a fabulous feeling.
