Casa Mono

Cute and intimate. Haven’t been in a few years so decided to give it a go again. A really nice wine selection for any Spanish wine lover. The staff is top notch attending to every need a clearing at just the right moments. The biggest disappointment is the food. It’s just a little too far all around, a little too twisted. I mean even the patatas bravas- long fingerlings in a homogenized sauce? Give me the cubed potatoes and both sauces drizzled over! You need the damn white sauce! I will say that the fluke crudo was absolutely delicious. That needs to stay as is. Everything else was just a little too weird and different.

A cozy small restaurant with expensive tapas. The space is super tight. Three of us ordered 5 dishes and it was enough. They recommended 6-9. My favorite was Pan con Tomate. It may look like something you can make at home but for some reason, there was something special about it. I’m not impressed at all with creamy eggs with sea urchins because it just tasted like egg scramble with uni. Definitely not worth $40. Skirt steak and negro arroz were good. We were looking through the wine menu and a server or sommelier came over and offered to pick wine for us. He didn’t even ask for what kind of taste we like. I’m not sure if it was worth the price we paid per glass

Fantastic tapas all around. Each dish was tasty, well portioned to share for four people. Main complaint was table space to house all the plates. Bottles of wine recommended by the sommelier were great. We had the Ensalada mono, Sardines with Endives, Razor clams, Pulpo, Fideos, Arroz negro, Pork sobrasada, Skirt steak, Duck breast, Pork meatballs, Patatas bravas, and Artichokes. Fideos were phenomenal, favorite dish of the night. Loved the sardines and Arroz negro as well.

This is just my opinion. Overall, everything was good, but in trying to modernize traditional cuisine, some dishes no longer taste like the original recipes; for example, the black rice (arroz negro). The way the fideos are presented is also quite inconvenient, as you end up dropping a lot of the food when serving. The seafood was probably the highlight: both the sardines and the fluke on top of the black rice were excellent. I also went there specifically for the bone marrow, but unfortunately they didn’t have it available.

Scallop,Bacalao croquetas,Pork belly with corn all the food we try it was amazing very delicious from the sauce to the actual meat everything was wonderful. Dessert was delicious we had bread pudding I will prefer no berry but this definitely add a bitter flavor that every sweet plate needs .Wine were delicious especially from the Dulce menu if you a sweet wine love. We did had a server but we didn't interact much with her instead we feel more welcoming with a belief was another server cal Ian (hopefully I spell his name right) he took ur drink order was really attentive suggest it think, his attention to details was amazing. He made out experience better. We got seat at the bar over looking the cooks since we did a walk in and I was really happy because we was available to see the Chef an
