Sentiment analysis: I met some friends for lunch here on a monday. When we walked in, we were seated promptly by the host and given menus. The atmosphere was very nice, and we were looking forward to our meal. Unfortunately, our waiter seemed as if he didn't want to be there. we waited about 20 minutes for drinks, and another 20 for him to come take our order (and he only came over because we were all staring expectantly at him). He never came to check on us once, unless we got up to get him, or flagged him down (which was difficult, as he never seemed to look towards the tables, instead keeping his head down over the screen to the POS ordering system). Once the food came, everything was delicious, flavorful, and well prepared. Such a shame that the horrible service ruined it for us.

Sentiment analysis: Jaleo was one of the worst restaurants I've ever been to when considering the quality of the food and the price point. It's not that the concept isn't intriguing. Tapas restaurants are an excellent concept which can provide fantastic flavor combinations and lots of options for customers to choose from. When you're traveling with a group, it's great to order several tapas and share. I also want to be clear that I think the staff at Jaleo was top notch, friendly, and timely. I appreciated that on a busy Thursday night. The problem with this place wasn't the concept or the service. The problem was the food. I went with a group of six people and personally tried 5 different tapas during the course of the meal. We would have ordered several more if the food wasn't so underwhelming. What I tried: The "pan de cristal con tomate fresco," which was $12, was some dry, stale bread with what tasted like a can of tomato sauce dumped on top. It was sloppy. It was flavorless. The "croquetas de pollo" ($12), were served in a shoe. Literally, the food was in a paper cone that was place inside of an old shoe. Why would anyone think that's clever or appetizing? The croquetas were decently cooked, but still lacked flavor. The "gambas al ajillo" ($16), were flavorful, but the portion size was minuscule for a $16 dish. The "remolacha con citricos" ($12) was drenched in the dressing, though it wasn't bad otherwise. The worst of it all, in my view: "Jose's patatas bravas" ($6) was seriously a individually-sized bag of potato chips (you know, the one they'd sell for $0.50 in a vending machine) covered in mayo and sriracha. They even took up a third of the plate with the empty bag cut in half, as if that was something that would impress a diner. The chips weren't great (most of them were crushed), and the sauce combination was fine, but this was an embarrassing thing to have on the menu in my view. An absolute shame. The consensus about this place from those of us who had dinner that night and tried tapas other than those I listed was that it was the worst meal we had in our weeklong stay in LV. I'm by no means someone who expects to have a five star meal every time I go out, and I understand the Vegas expense is always higher than it is other cities. I also understand that in a busy shift, some meals don't always turn out as well as they should. But the fact that all of the tapas we ordered had serious flaws is indicative of a systemic issue in the restaurant. My disappointment in this meal compelled to share this experience. With all of the wonderful and delicious options in Vegas, don't waste your money going here.

Sentiment analysis: I recently enjoyed dinner with my husband, his old (as in past, not age!) boss and his wife at the Renegade Canteen. We sat at the large wooden table that separates the bar and dining areas. This table feels like the epicenter of the whole place and I would recommend it to anyone. We ordered their specialty cocktails which were light and delightful. My drink had the name "Beth", so of course, I ordered it and I believe it is the best one, too! The duck entree was fabulous. But the desserts were all fantastic, so save room. The bourbon-laced pecan pie was the winner. It is brought out in a little metal pan that you'll want to lick at the end. The place had that certain buzz like 'the restaurant of the moment' always seems to have, which was nice.
