The most amazing place!!! From the moment you walk in and Bridget greets you to the incredible food and impeccable service. Our highlight was the gnocchi, branzino and cacii de pepe. But the best part was the experience and hospitality from Bridget who provided the best service. What a fun night!

The food (kabobs) were delicious but the Lamb shank was not . It was too much fat on the lamb jeopardizing the flavor as my friend that was visiting complained badly . He is a world traveler and a foodie . Other than that it was fine. In case I take someone for dinner I will not recommend this dish .

I am a big fan of Chef José Andrés, so it was another pleasure to dine at Jaleo. The tapas were amazing and very tasty. The cocktails were also creative, it was nice different experience. The desserts were the happy ending of the evening. I want to thank Galileo R, our server was incredibly helpful and made recommendations based on our requests. He is well trained and very gentle.

The French onion soup was absolutely incredible. I have been searching for a good French onion soup to rival that of a restaurant near my college campus in Philadelphia for over 30 years and finally found it. The fried chicken was amazing. It was actually better than fried chicken I’ve had in Asheville from a place that specializes in good fried chicken. The care and attention they give to preparing the food as rival only by the care and attention they give to guests. The staff, which is friendly knowledgeable and accommodating, is a big asset. The owner also cares greatly about his guests’ experiences. I will go back soon to try some of their other dishes.
