Dana Marie KennedyOctober 17, 2010
After an hour and a half we still have no table and they really don't care so if youj like being treated like a number this is the perfect place to go! They gave tables away to others several times.
Tammy GordonMarch 19, 2010

half a carafe of the house sangria is plenty.
Sara AllenFebruary 18, 2013
The restaurant week menu was not edible. Everything was mushy, oily, or deep fried. Totally lacking in freshness.
Matt LeightonJuly 22, 2011
Free gazpacho when it's over 100 degrees!

After waiting for 1 hour n 10 minutes we only got 5 of our 9 tapas we had to cancel the other 4 n leave. Really bad service

Pretty good but $52 for a sangria is way overpriced.
Tammy GordonMarch 26, 2010
For lunch Jaleo has $11 soup-salad-or-sandwich combos
Tom FitchMay 25, 2010
Get the Jose Andres gin and tonic. Amazing.
P BMarch 10, 2013
Meh, this place is really not worth the money or time. You're paying (a lot) for atmosphere and not for food.
Katrina CDecember 5, 2009
Sangria is good and usually pretty crowded
