I had a lovely birthday experience at Jaleo! The food was inventive and fun, the ambiance was quirky in a good way (we had a working foosball table under the glass we ate on!), and our server Fressia went above and beyond to accommodate my group. The food came out quickly even on a busy weekend and I was really happy they extended their Valentine's Menu (the lava cake and pork with apples were standout dishes for me)! It wasn't the best food I've ever had, but the flavor and texture combinations were delightful and you can tell that the Chefs really are masters at their craft. Hats off to this restaurant for delivering a great meal with grace! I will be back.

I will definitely be coming here again. Food was tasty, fresh, and well seasoned - like absolutely perfect. My boyfriend has an eating disorder (ARFID) and can really only eat a select few foods - and they were more than accommodating with him!! Really made this a great experience. 10/10 would recommend.

I can’t get over how incredible our server was. Elvis immediately acknowledged that we were vegetarians and had accommodations made for even the fixed Valentine’s Day menu. We truly appreciate it. And not to forget, but the food was incredible. I would go back and eat an entire bowl of the beet salata

First time at Oyamel. The food was excellent as was the service by Melvin. He carefully explained the menu and our many serving options. The Oyamel margarita was delicious as were the tocos and rice w mushrooms and Brussel sprout sides. The tres leches dessert was incredible! Overall, and excellent dining experience enhanced by the care of Melvin. We will return soon!

We dined at The Smith in DC twice for dinner and enjoyed it so much that we returned for lunch the next day! The food was delicious and fresh, with a menu that perfectly suits an American-style restaurant. The staff was very accommodating, and the pricing was moderately valued. We were very satisfied with every visit. Staying at the hotel across the street made it even more convenient. I only wish I had taken food photos to capture how great everything looked! We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in DC from Miami!
