Place was busy but I found a spot at the end of the bar and Xiis made me feel like I had the best seat in the house her knowledge of the food lead to delicious dinner and then I had 2 espresso martinis and some sangria will definitely be back !!

Service was horrible, we ordered ham croquetes and where taken to the table when paying the bill 1 hour after, the main course was delivered in different timing for all plates instead of all at same time or least wait between one and another. I ordered gambas as main course 8 shrimps very small sized, they need to understand what a real GAMBAS is, worst plate ever.

We tried the sangria flight at Jaleo. The price was just okay, but the sangria was good. We were given a substitution to one of the options on the flight without explanation, so that was kind of weird. However, we had a nice afternoon there. The grapefruit-based white sangria was the best and was nice and sweet.

The paella is expensive but the taste is very much average. They even have to prepare it for 45 minutes. I can prepare instant paella in box for 15 min and the taste is better and the cost is just 1/10th of their price. My first and last at this restaurant.

Always great food portions are OK. Prices are a little too high for what you get, but the service is great. The manager kept on coming over to talk to us, which is really nice. I would just want a little bit more for the value of what you're paying for it for each item. And I wish they wouldn't take the plates away as soon as you finish that last bite -some of us are dippers!!

Excellent restaurant espagnol. Des belles découvertes culinaires, originales et classique. Le service est excellent et attentionné

Tried the Eat like Jose! and Drink like Jose! chef curated food and drink samplers and they were amazing. As a Spaniard I have high standards for my tapas and several of the plates blew it out of the park. The wine options paired very well with the tapas offerings and the plates came out at a perfect pace. We sat outside and had a lovely ambiance with music but not too loud with customer chatter due to being outside. Our server Juan was attentive and on top of it, making sure our next wine came out perfectly timed, explaining in depth what each item was and overall an amazing customer service experience.

A great evening at Jaleo! Food is fantastic. We enjoyed the delicious endive with goat cheese plate with the Jamon Iberica and pineapple (served table side), Sliced apple and fennel salad with Manchego cheese. The show stopper was the best and I mean the beast full rack of lamb (medium rare) that melted in your mouth and was incredible. All of the above was for two adults. Great wine offerings to enjoy a memorable evening!

From prior experience we knew the noise level in the main dining room is very high, and requested outside sexting. The food was excellent as always. Service was good but not as good as usual

We had a great dinner and our wait staff was excellent especially Ella who gave us an explanation of the Spanish wines that would go with our selections. It is quite noisy but that's because everyone is having a great time!

It seemed we were there at peak time. Loud music and too much noise to be able to talk to each other. Otherwise food and service was good. We had cod and potato fritters which were delicious. Shrimp and garlic sauce was also outstanding. Next time we will go again. Thank you for this experience.

Overall, a big disappointment. Their website claimed to have “authentic flamenco dancing" "every Friday to Sunday...", "...beginning at 7:30 PM.” This was honestly the only reason we chose to dine here, despite the restaurant's modest 4.0-star rating on Google. However, we were told they haven't had these flamenco shows for many months now. We felt deceived and will definitely not dine here again. The food didn't feel authentic either. Manchego cheese, for example, is best enjoyed with a fruit jam or paste (ideally fig), but that wasn't even an option. The music was American pop -- quite jarring, especially when we were expecting flamenco. The rest of the dishes were just okay (nothing worth returning for), and the prices were too high for what we got. Overall, it felt rather commercialized and lacking in genuine Spanish character. The only positive was our server, Wini, who provided excellent service. None of this was her fault. She was kind and attentive. Unfortunately, the restaurant itself fell far far short of expectations.

For someone who is dairy free, it was very easy to eat and the food was amazing!!! Going back again!!
