text: If your servers name is Mario run for the hillsnnI consider myself to be somewhat of a Josue Andrues fangirl so I was naturally looking forward to dining at Jaleo Needless to say my expectations were not met The food itself was decent Not quite as inventive as The Bazaars offerings but with the lower price point that is to be somewhat expected Service however was horrifically below a restaurant of Jaleos calibernnWhen my party was seated the waiter proceeded to give us the key dishes you should try shtick including the many varieties of paella that the establishment is famous for Okay sold We try to order the paella only to be told that we cannot do so because we have a party of four and the menu states that you must have a party of six or more Uh okay Then why did you just spend all that time raving about your paella We then ask if it would be at all possible to check if there were any other tables ordering any of the paellas that we could combine ordering forces with because we really wanted to try the paella Our waiter flat out rejects us without even bothering to check Now I understand that there is a certain protocol to be followed and I was not necessarily expecting an exception but would it have been so hard to doublecheck pretending to check would have been more than sufficient Oh and here is the delightfully irking kicker OUR SERVER WAS WRONG While dining at ue by josue andrues this past weekend the infinitely more gracious and knowledgeable waitstaff notified me that every night Jaleo makes a paella of the day for the entire restaurant to order individual portions from the six or more limit only applies to parties who want to order a paella of their choice A waiter who is clueless about the menu at an upscaleish restaurant For shamennFollowing the paella debacle I excused myself from the table so I could surreptitiously notify our waiter that one of the girls in my party was celebrating a birthday and that I would like to surprise her with a dessert I could not find the waiter so I told the busboy who had been helping our table who in turn said he would pass along the message to our waiter While giving us our dessert menus our waiter proceeds to ruin the surprise by saying and are we celebrating a birthday today I would not expect this kind of a misstep from a TGI Fridays let alone JaleonnHad service been passable I would have rated Jaleo at a solid stars Were it not been for my wonderful experience at ue by josue andrues this past weekend I would not have even considered returning
