The food was good and well seasoned. We had mimosas and I thought they were watered down. The service was terrible from the minute we walked in, no one was by the door to check us in, had to walk in and look for someone to help me.

We found the service to be very slow. Before dinner it took 20 minutes for the bartenders to serve us. They were very inattentive. The red snapper was delicious. Other items from the menu were good.

The place is really nice, and the drinks were solid. The food and service on the other hand was not what we expected. I felt the food as a Dominican was very basic, did not have any flavor twist; it tasted like something I can pick up from corner deli. The service was pretty bad, the drinks took a long time that the Bartender had to bring them to us because they were sitting there long and it was not busy, so it was very odd. The food did come out with good timing. The manager asked how we were doing and when we explained that the service was slow, he brushed it off and walked away. Paula who was the bartender that night was very attentive and polite. From the lack of attention, we literally could have walked out without paying. Very disappointed as I travelled from CT and my friend from Texas to meet and have a great experience.

Food was delicious and the staff was friendly. The service was the slowest I’ve ever seen. From taking orders, to bringing out drinks and food we sat waiting for so long.

Beautiful place, but it was loud! Both inside and outside. We kept asking the waitress and hostess to lower the music. We couldn’t have a conversation even sitting next to each other…. It was like nightclub volume! Food was tasty. From the appetizers- we had empanadas, both ceviches, truffle fries, and sliders… we had the salmon, parrillada, stuffed chicken for entrees- all very good! It was a little overpriced considering we could have gone the the neighboring restaurants in the neighborhood for the same food and less $$. I guess you’re paying for the ambience. I give 3.5-4 stars just because of how loud it was. Bring Tylenol. Servise was ok … kinda slow. But the girls were very nice, polite and professional. I guess they were super busy because we had to keep an eye out for them to order or get an extra drink. Overall, it was a nice time with good food and great drinks!! They were superb!!!

We visited Jalao before a concert for convenience and were pleasantly surprised with the ambience from the moment you walk in. Our food was great - flavorful, fresh, and unique twists on our favorite classics. We ordered beef empanadas, chicharron de pollo, and pescado frito. We were told after ordering it that the ceviche morir soñando was not available so we’ll have to try it another time. Beyond the food, the restaurant should strongly consider investing in training for their staff surrounding customer service and etiquette. We were serviced much like a 1 star restaurant. It felt as though our waitress thought she was doing us a favor by doing her job.
