Jaleo - restaurant review

B and I finally got a night out!  My in-laws drove the seven hours from upstate New York to babysit one weekend so that B and I could go on a date.  Now it hasn't been that long since our last date, about 6 weeks, but before that I couldn't even tell you.  It was our anniversary weekend and we wanted to go somewhere we haven't been before.  The goal was Jaleo in Chinatown.  But since we wanted to make it an evening and go to a movie as well, we went to Jaleo in Crystal City which we've heard is on par with the Chinatown location.

Upon arriving at a somewhat early time (6:15 reservation), we were seated in a window dressing seat promptly.  Extremely courteous waiters came and explained how the menu worked and the specials which were tempting, but we decided to stick to the regular menu instead.  We ordered a full carafe of the Cava sangria and easily drank the whole thing.  I don't know where they got strawberries in February that could taste so juicy and sweet.  Delicious!
