text: I have tried to go to Jaleo for dinner twice before but neither happened I wish I had not pushed for a third try because this meal sucked I would have given it one star but one thing we had was really good so it gets an extra star nnMy favorite foodie friend and I were both in Vegas on a Friday night so decided to go to Jaleo He has been to the one in DC before and liked it and I like Jose Andres food so we were both excited nnWe were sat promptly and the waitress came over a few minutes later She gave a whole canned speech about the menu which is something I hateand gave us the iPad wine list There are some relatively good priced wines and of course lots of spanish options so it started out good nnShe finally came and took our order and we got a few things from each part of the menu including the Paella Valenciana She told us they would group our items from the kitchen light to heavy and stage them to come out at a time GreatnnHowever that was not the case We got three things within like seconds of each other The first things were Pan con tomate Toasted slices of rustic bread brushed with fresh tomato this was adequate not quite the traditional way but tasty enough Some tiny green olives stuffed with anchovies and liquid black olives this dish was for like small green olives total rip off and i know anchovies are salty as are olives but this dish was too salty to eatand yes i have had them both together before and it does not need to be that overly salty tortilla de patata Spanish omelet with potatoes and onions i am about to get married and this is one of the dishes on my menu which means i have tried about tortillas from caterers over the last few months and this version was the worst i have ever had previously i was shocked by how bad some of the caterers versions were of this dish but this dish was twice as bad as the worst first of all she asked us if we wanted it well done when we ordered it this is not a question that should be asked it is supposed to be a simple dish onions and potatoes sauteed til tender add egg let form til set completely that is it we got it and it was wet and runny so not even well done like she asked if we wanted it it was also super thin with only like one layer of potato it was so gross we did not finish it nnSo then we flagged her down and said we wanted to slow it down a bit since everything so far had been rushed to our table This was a mistake because from then on it was supperr long wait for everything She told us then that our paella was ready and we said oh no thanks we want to wait until the end for that dish since it is most like a main course This is after she told us the kitchen would structure it light to heavy for us so delivering paella with the first few things made no sensennThe next dish was Ensalada rusa a salad of potatoes imported conserved tuna and mayonnaise This was okay but not great It was much better than it looked It was covered with foam It looked like my cat threw up on it I am not a foam fan But the potatoes were cooked well and the tuna was tastynnThe next dish was the Seared scallops with romesco sauce The dish arrived and was pretty enough to look at However both our scallops had grit This is not good Neither of us finished our scallop the dish had two and we called the waitress over to tell her they were gritty She apologized but did not seem to really know what that meant nnThen we got the last dish before our paellathe veal cheeks with whipped olive oil potatoes This is the only reason the restaurant got stars This dish was really good Looked good Tasted great Very tender veal cheeks The potatoes were fluffy bites of heaven Very very good This is what I expected every dish to be like but sadly it was the only good dishnnSo now we are excited to try the paella i guess i was still holding out hope it would save the meal but the waitress comes over and tells us that they are out of the paella What We ordered it an hour ago They had it You tried to serve it to us at the start of the meal we said we would waitand now you are out of it She offered us a different paella at double the cost of the one we ordered We said no thanks And were super unhappy about it We were both still hungry but did not want to try anymore crappy food so asked for the billnnWe got the bill and the damn scallops were still on it We called the manager over to complain we have both been in the biz for years and if someone complains about a legitimate quality issue that should NEVER be on the check So we explained that they were gritty and should not be on the check He apologized and claimed it was an oversight and took it off the bill nnOverall a disappointing meal and I will never go back It was so overpriced and only one thing was good Sad sad sad
