   Our dinner was delightful. Our wait staff was knowledgeable and very patient about answering questions. The restaurant was very crowded with tables close together. The noise level was high. However the quality of the food and the service made up for these shortcomings.

   The cherry blossom festival menu has some great new items. The cherry gazpacho was incredible!

   This was one of the first restaurants I ever visited when I moved to DC more than 25 years ago. Ithas held up well. The food remains excellent, the service is great and you can't beat the location. I especially love the authentic tapas and the cava sangria. Never take the espinacas and the patatas bravas off the menu!

   Great food and service. But please please lower the volume on the music. We are here for food and conversation. Not for a concert

   It was extremely busy when we were there, so I understand delays to our orders. That being said, I have waited tables before so I have a pretty good idea when the kitchen is very behind, which seemed to be the case. No one said anything, which they absolutely should have mentioned. Don’t avoid that topic with your customers, let them know. Our spinach dish didn’t seem quite cooked enough compared to when we have had it in the past. The tomatoes in the salad were mushy, the lettuce bitter. Also there is no more bread being provided. We had to ask for it (even offered to pay for it) but what arrived seemed old and not at all crispy. Overall the experience was good but not as good as in past visits.

   Our first time at Jaleo, and if I lived in DC I'd likely go there (or to one of his other restaurants) every other week - no kidding. The food was outstanding, very creative and was pretty much not what you would see anywhere else.
