"Each course was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. The meal began with traditional appetizers, like charcuterie and crudos, and then progressed through a variety of small plates, heavier dishes, and meat courses. The first few courses were some of my favorites: the ibérico add-on, pan con tomate with manchego and serrano, delightful cones filled with salmon tartare (this was one of my absolute favorite bites and highly recommended), and a fun liquid olive purée. Next, we enjoyed lighter small plates: octopus ceviche and endive cups with fresh goat cheese and oranges. Both were refreshing and light, but the octopus stood out as our favorite. After that, we moved on to croquetas, patatas bravas, and stuffed piquillo peppers. Although we always order the croquetas since someone at the table always wants them, I'm not their biggest fan. They tend to be heavy on the creamy béchamel without offering much flavor. While I understand their popularity, they're not my top choice. The patatas bravas were reliably good, a simple dish that's hard to mess up. I also enjoyed the piquillo peppers; they're a classic Spanish tapa found all over Spain. My husband isn't fond of their texture, but I quite like it! Following this, we sampled mussels, giant prawns, and steak tapas. Unfortunately, the mussels were initially undercooked and many were closed, but the manager quickly resolved this by bringing us fresh ones. The sauce was herbaceous, savory, and delicious—definitely one of my favorite flavors of the night. The head-on prawns were excellent as well, showcasing the freshness of the seafood and beautifully presented. We had previously tried the steak tapa, which was seasoned perfectly and cooked to a perfect medium rare. For dessert, we had flan. You can't go wrong with flan, and my husband thought this one was especially delicious. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience and certainly worth the price. The way the meal is structured makes it more than just dinner; it's a true dining experience. It was a substantial amount of food, but that was ideal for us since we love to sample everything and savor all the different aspects of the menu. The only aspect that could have improved this experience was the service. It wasn't our server's fault, as she seemed overwhelmed handling tables throughout the restaurant—it was late, and she likely had closing duties. However, we found ourselves having to flag down a manager twice just to place a drink order and had to get up to get help with the mussels. I also had to remind them about my husband's birthday. Although there were plenty of managers around, they didn’t seem to be checking in on the tables or assisting the servers. This was a minor complaint, though, as regardless of the service, we will certainly return."

I've visited the restaurants in DC and Vegas multiple times, and they are outstanding. Unfortunately, this one falls short in every aspect.

What a beautiful tapas-style restaurant! The food was amazing, the atmosphere was fantastic, and the service was excellent! At first, I thought the prices were a bit steep, but after tasting everything, I changed my mind because it was all so well prepared. The open kitchens are enjoyable to watch, the restrooms are clean, and overall, it's a wonderful place to dine.

Our food arrived promptly, and everything was delicious. We chose the magical dining menu, which includes four courses for $40 per person, and we left feeling full with leftovers to take home. My favorites of the night were the salt air margarita and the pan con chocolate. The atmosphere was romantic and upscale. I highly recommend making a reservation, as it can get quite busy. We checked in early and were seated right away. Overall, our dining experience at Jaleo was a solid 10/10!

Definitely a good choice if you?re in the Disney Springs area. We had multiple courses, and we were impressed every step of the way. The drinks are well balanced and even the servers were accurate in their recommendations. Even more specific than youwould expect, a good place to have everyone in the group to leave with something they?re impressed by. A little bit more on thepricey side but a good place to really get a fine dining experience, all while not having to compromise quality. The waitstaffwas very pleasant and knowledgeable. When it come to the restaurant decor and overall atmosphere, it was satisfying and feltwell up kept. Try to sit outside if you can, you?ll get a beautiful view...

Another fantastic dinner at a Disney restaurant. Amazing service, food, and atmosphere. Our server Michael, really provided top notch service. He was knowledgeable about the menu and answered all of our questions. Without even mentioning it to him, he noticed our table was a bit wobbly and quickly added a wedge to our table to fix the issue. He even brought us complimentary champagne because we were celebrating a special occasion. Michael checked on us frequently and really made the dining experience so enjoyable. Our food arrived quickly and everything tasted amazing. We ordered from the magical dining menu (4 courses for $40/ person) and left with full bellies and leftovers to take home. T...
