We went in for sangria hour so I could decide if Jaleo is where I'd have my birthday dinner. The bartenders were so great. Attentive without being invasive. Really nice, quick and professional. I couldn't sit in the bar stool for too long. Painfully uncomfortable. The happy hour drinks, a specialty cocktail and sangria, were just okay but only $8 so can't complain. Sangria was pretty comparable to authentic Spain but just wasnt feeling it. They also had red wine on special which was really good. The happy hour food was overall good but tiny portions so hard to get a good impression after one bite. But I would highly recommend getting the shrimp on happy hour, you get 2 shrimp but mine was delicious, lightly breaded with an aoili sauce. The bread with roasted peppers, eggplant and anchovies was a bit soggy so I passed after a small bite to try. The chicken fritter was okay maybe just not to my taste. We decided to go to Scarpetta for dinner instead and it was the right choice for us. 4 stars just because the service was so good.
We thought this would be a challenge for us as I don't eat meat and my hubby doesn't eat fish, but it was perfect! We could chose our own small items and share others, our waiter was so helpful too with his advice. Food was amazing, so tasty and fresh - lots prepared in the open kitchen area in the front of the restaurant.
The menu is full of wonderful sounding dishes. We ordered 9. All were exceptionally delicious, except the shrimp, which was very fishy. The atmosphere leaves a lot to be desired, it's as noisy as a grade school playground. Even so, the food was so extraordinary that we'd happily eat here again.
After a fantastic meal at Bazar Meat, we had to visit Jaleo at our hotel to sample more of Jose Andre's creations. This review is for the Sangria hour (happy hour) only. The Spanish Bramble & the Sangria were both watered down as expected, the red wine (Evodia) was sufficient. HH tapas were all small to tiny portions but were mostly solid. The chicken fritters was piping hot & creamy, the shredded chicken inside was moist & delish. The fried shrimp was very credible with light coat of batter. Salmon tartar cone with salmon roe, endive leafs filled with goat cheese & salmon roe.. all these bold flavors pairedwell with drinks. The liquid olive (Ferran Adria) was not part of the HH menu but we still got it. It was a fine example of Spanish reconstructive cuisine. Some of these same items can be found on the Bazar Meat tasting menu up the strip. We can attest the qualities were comparable. Overall tis a cool place to get a glimpse of Jose Andre's reconstructive cuisine without destruction of your budget
Jaleo creates a meal with small plates that foster sharing new tastes with family and friends. Everyone had their favorites and it was fun to try items one might not have ordered. The food was consistent and very good. Service really good - plates came out while still hot and spaced at a good pace.
A business colleague brought me here and I didn’t have high hopes. Boy was I wrong!!! Amazing! The jambon iberico was as good as promised. And the tomato bread was delicious. I’ll come again!
Had the tasting menu with wine pairing and it did not disappoint!!
I had dinner at the bar this week. I enjoyed it and would return. The paella of the day (vegetarian) was excellent. The Chicken Croquettes were lousy. The gambas al ajillo were decent. Service was generally good. Overall it was very good but nothing out of this world.
Lovely relaxed restaurant….still with plenty of vegas vibes! Sunny was our server, and he knew everything about everything on the menu. He’s the server to catch when you dine at Jaleo. The asparagus dish was fought over and the patatas bravas was also a delight. The Hendricks gin drink went down well too! Yes we would return if we return to Las Vegas!
Fabulous dinner and stunning venue on 3rd floor of Cosmopolitan Hotel. We were a group of 7. We did not order family style because it was too confusing with each person having dietary restrictions and different taste palates. My husband and I shared the 20 oz rib eye which was so delicious. We ordered the roasted asparagus and Brussels sprouts. Both were probably the best I have ever eaten. The flavors were outstanding. At first we had the margaritas which were very spicy but top notch. We had the fennel, peanut, vinegar salad which was a large portion and so fresh and tasty. Everyone tried and loved it. For dessert we had the goat cheesecake enough for everyone to have a small portion. It was lovely. Tip: if you order coffee, one order is definitely enough for 2 people. They gave a pot for each order. This was a very impressive dinner and one I won't forget easily!
