| - Although the noise level is somewhat high for a date, I thought it was still alright to take one there.
For two of us, we ordered about seven dishes, which filled us up pretty well. As some of you might know, the food here is tapas style, served and proportioned as appetizers.
Like China Poblano and E, they still manage to stay creative with their dishes. I remember our potato wrapped chorizos were served in what looked like a bowling shoe. We also tried the seared scallops, which seemed to really soak in a nutty taste from the pine nuts and the dressing they used with it.
Out of everything I tasted though, the best of them all were the oysters in lemon gin and tonic. Amazing. To tell you the truth, I'm not really a big fan of oysters. Unlike it's shellfish brothers, they manage to retain a strong, ocean taste regardless of what you do to them (and really, there's not much many like to do to them so as to preserve their raw state). But here at Jaleo, they manage to have the lemon alchy mix to subdue the putrid ocean taste.
Sorry to all the oyster enthusiasts- if you like your oysters as raw tasting as possible, then don't order it from here. Everything else though, is good to go.
