    The food (kabobs) were delicious but the Lamb shank was not . It was too much fat on the lamb jeopardizing the flavor as my friend that was visiting complained badly . He is a world traveler and a foodie . Other than that it was fine. In case I take someone for dinner I will not recommend this dish .

    Wonderful place, the food was amazing! We got the short ribs and grilled shrimp and both were really good. I did think the short ribs weren’t very filling compared to the shrimp though. The presentation was really good and the atmosphere was wonderful. I also really enjoyed the drinks. I would totally go again, just would probably eat at the speakeasy below for the quieter more intimate vibes.

    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.
