The food and service was outstanding. Our server knew and was able to explained the items on the menu and offer suggestions according to what we were looking for. The olives stuffed with anchovies were the thing I’ve eaten in a long time.

Highly recommend. The tasting menu is the way to go in my opinion. Especially if it’s your first time. It’s a good way to work your way around the menu, and get to try a bit of everything.

In a city with lots of tapas style places Jaleo delivers some elevated spins on classic choices. Bustling and noisy with an eclectic crowd.
