   Visited 2 years ago and it was great, this time around, highly disappointed. Most of the tapas we ordered did not taste right or fresh, considering the price, not acceptable. Pimientos del piquilo which I always get at tapas places tends to be reliably good, but it was bitter. Cod cakes and manchego were good, red sangria was terrible, this is a staple at a Spanish restaurant, hard to believe. Gazpacho was bland, food took forever to arrive. Not sure I’ll return, many other great options at Disney springs, skip this one.

   Had to wait an additional 30 minutes after the reservation time to be sat. Incurred another 30 minute wait before being greeted after we sat. After being greeted our drinks came out after finishing one round of tapas. Will go again but all around service was lackluster this time visit.

   Excellent food and service. Our server Maria was great. They were out of a particular bottle of wine that I wanted and she made an outstanding recommendation for something similar to my original selection. We had Paella, of course and it was absolutely delicious. Highly recommended.

   I have celiac and they were wonderful with my need to be gluten free. We did the tasting menu and our server was able to swap out dishes for a safe and amazingly good meal

   Amazing restaurant and service. We had a big group, 9 of us.. I even called day of to confirm reservation. We sit, order wine… and once we’re ready to order we’re told the Paellas were unavailable for the night. Totally understand things happen… but we should have been told prior.

   I am a regular at Jaleo, either with family or with out-of-town guests. The evening is always a hit, either for those new to tapas or for world travelers who have done tapas before. I took some out-of-town guests on a Wednesday night. When we got to the restaurant (I was planning to order the Eat Like Jose menu for everyone), my guests started looking around uneasily, especially as we walked past the kitchen and I pointed out the paellas. To my dismay, my guests started into a litany of things they did not eat, including paella, garlic, onions, several vegetables, and anything raw (i.e., fish), nor would they want wine or sangria. To the rescue came my server. She was amazing. She took a menu and marked up what my guests were likely to enjoy. She made arrangements for a grilled ribeye that saved the day. She helped find a Spanish beer that would be "like an American beer". In the end, the evening was a success. Special thanks to our server. She saved the evening!

    Food was good. But our favorite was the mussels in green sauce, a must try if you go. Service was really good even at 10pm, there was not rush. Drinks were okay. View is amazing, I recommend table by the water.
