Snobbish foodies who contemplate with furrowed brow, the intricate flavors brought forth by the deft hand of the chef, EAT ELSEWHERE!!!  Jaleo is about great traditional and modernist tapas, and a fun experience.\n\nThe long menu of unfamiliar sounding dishes can be intimidating.  Just remember, more = better.  \n\nThe menu is cohesive.  Each dish compliments or contrasts with others building layers of flavors or creating flavor explosions.  You can throw darts blindly at it and every selection would work together.  Don't get caught up in the details.  Dining on tapas should be social and fun!\n\nAfter multiple visits, and tasting almost the entire menu, lets just say, my taste may not be the same as yours so rather than making specific dish recommendations, here are some general guidelines:\n\n- Follow Andre Zimmern's maxim:  if it sounds good, eat it.  Try, try, try.  \n\n- Do not pass on the jamones produced by Fermin (Spanish hams).  This is one of the few places that you can eat the real deal in the States.  The acorn fed, black footed pig has a very unfamiliar taste and might not be for everyone but try, try, try.\n\n- Spanish wines and sherries pair perfectly with the tapas (mixed drinks, beer, and new world wines don't).  Unfamiliar with wines Spanish wines?  Ask for a recommendation.  The restaurant has a great selection by the glass.  Try, try, try.\n\n- Keep it social.  Eat, drink (pass around a poron - just stick to the cava if you never tried it before so you don't stain your clothes), and enjoy!\n\nNote:  Jaleo houses the incredible E, restaurant in a restaurant.  It's Jaleo on steroids.  See the reviews\n\nDining is an experience.  At Jaleo, your experience depends on you.  Live, love and enjoy!
