| - e by Jose Andres is an absolute must if you are a foodie that wants to experience all that is Jose Andres in a setting that is intimate, yet non-stuffy. Tucked behind a secret curtain in the back of Jaleo, a restaurant in the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas, is an intimate 8 seat only restaurant that will transport you to one of the most unbelievable culinary experiences you might ever have.
It starts with the reservation. You don't call to make a reservation. In fact, they don't even have a phone. You have to email them, usually months in advance to secure a spot in one of the 8 coveted seats. When you finally get a response, you pre reserve your seats, by filling out the reservation request, and prepaying with your credit card at the time of reservation. I don't think they actually charge the card, but the reservation policy is if you cancel within two weeks, there is a 50% charge, and no shows are billed at 100% so be sure you are aware of that. About a week before, you will receive your Golden Tickets, a la Willy Wonka style and you bring those as your admittance to the restaurant. I'm sure you don't really don't need to bring the tickets, but it's a fun touch and goes to show that they really don't take themselves too seriously.
When you arrive, you are seated in Jaleo, and the host comes over to give a quick explanation and to take drink orders. You may choose the wine pairing ($125) or choose from individual glasses of wine (about $25 each) for the dinner.
You are then escorted in and sit around the 8 person table. The venue is quite unique and sort of a speakeasy in the back of Jaleo, tucked behind a curtain. The venue has interesting items like an apothecary wall and items that were hand picked by Jose Andres. You then sit around the kidney shaped table to start your experience.
About 20 courses comprise the 3 hr evening and come in rapid succession. We started with a sangria cava that was an encapsulated ball that when placed in the mouth, exploded with flavor. Throughout the night, course after course was served , each on its own unique plate and masterfully prepared. The evening was as much a show as a meal. You got to ask questions, interact, and come away from the meal fully satisfied, wanting more more. The meal is pricey, about $500 for two, so not an everyday experience, but if you are looking for something unique, special, and out of the ordinary, keep this in mind.
