| - Jaleo is excellent.
Service - our waiter, Patrick, was all class and a cool guy. He created a nice flow with our dishes and kept our waters full and cocktails coming. He knew the menu well and this is one of those restaurants where that's important, cuz you're going to be ordering around 3 dishes per person.
Food - I really liked the tapas style and we ordered - bacalao, piquillo peppers, chicken and mushroom paella, a sharp smokey cheese plate, scallops, and the Iberica Bellota Jamon. The paella was the best I've had outside of Spain and my grandma's house. My buddy and I almost wanted more, addictive stuff. The Jamon was crazy good. Those 2 dishes really stood out, as some of the tastiest things I've eaten in a while. The rest of the meal was solid, tasty and well executed. We finished with french toast topped with vanilla ice cream and apples. It was a delicious, please order it.
Drinks - this place has the best gin and tonics you'll ever have, they have 5 different ones and the Citrico was my favorite. Order them, trust me. Also the coffee was really really good, my buddy, whose not a coffee guy, loved it. It comes out in a french press with hour glass type timers to let you know when it's ready, and it tells you when it's reached light/medium/dark roast.
Price - worth it.
Environment - it's a pretty fancy place, but feels fun and not stuffy. It's well decorated, as is every little detail in the Cosmopolitan, that place is so sexy. Perfect for dates.
Go here, it's delicious.
