Incredible experience. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere felt both modern and cozy at the same time. The chef truly delivers beyond expectations, every bite was full of flavor.
The portions are perfect for sharing, which makes it even more enjoyable to try different dishes and experience the menu together.

The food and service were both good. I enjoyed the fusion of flavors from different cultures, they all complemented each other well (just make sure you like lime and lemon grass). The restaurant’s music was quite loud (to the point conversations can be difficult). If not for the issue described below regarding portion size, I’d recommend this place.
My main qualm is that the portion sizes were laughably small; like two people dropping $200 on dinner and having to stop by Chik-Fil-A on the way home type of small.
We won’t be returning. I understand what tapas are but the portion sizes were absurd…Inflation is hitting everyone out there but shrinkflating portion sizes to this level is insulting to consumers.
If you want small bites…and I do mean small, Si! Mon may be worth checking out for you though.

Where do I begin?! Dinner was amazing- stared with the tartare, corn bites, and shrimp dumplings- tartare SLAYED- so good I could eat 100. Followed that with Kanpachi kaffir lime fish- HUGE portion and finger licking good… Dora, behind the bar, is the best- from recommendations to company. Will definitely be back! Thank you!

I know folks would say a restaurant should be based on its food alone (which was great, thanks Chef José) but I want to call out the amazing atmosphere here as well as the amazing service. All the staff seemed so genuine and welcoming that it really just felt like a personal experience versus a cold here's your fancy food and now leave situation.
As for the food, everything came out so quickly but it was also amazingly fresh and delicious. The tastes were such a fun combination but let me call out the yuca fries. This is not your standard Peruvian yuca fries which can be crunchy and dry. These fries were life changing. Well seasoned, crispy perfection, with dreamy, creamy center. Please run, don't walk, for these fries.

EVERY single dish was amazing. We had scallops, smoked fish spread, yuca, lamb, and kampachi fish in banana leaf. Craft cocktails galore. We want to go back and try everything else on the menu! Our server was so knowledgeable, sweet and always checking on us. Everyone else at the front desk to the table staff were very friendly. The ambiance was on point and made the experience even better.

Si! Mon is one of the best restaurants I’ve been to in awhile! The service, to begin with, is amazing. All the servers were amazing but especially Saul, gave fantastic advice about the menu. Each and every dish and cocktail were carefully crafted to perfection. Our favorites were the tuna tostada, the fish collars, and the kanpachi in banana leaf. We cannot wait to come back!

The vibe is a 3, food is a 2.5, drinks are a 4 and service is a 2.
The fried chicken wasn’t marinated, bland. The low lights and music were relaxing. The waiter didn’t ask if we wanted dessert, and I do understand it was a few minutes before closing however they could have recommended something. For the price, not really worth the hype.

From the same owners as Hatchet Hall, this Latin American dinner focused Venice restaurant took the place of the former famous James Beach and I am happy to report that they serve some seriously great meals here. Inside is designed beautifully, very open and light and in the evening, it is quite dark and moody, and is the perfect kind of place to take a date. We live very close by so we took a Waymo otherwise it will be street parking or valet. Inside is quite large, they have many different types of table options, we were sat at a half booth, but they have full booths and full tables as well. They also have a large bar. Our server was very polite and everything that we ordered came out as it was ready, it’s a not a traditional three course restaurant, think almost like tapas.
Of the list I would say the Sweet Corn Bollo or the Kanpachi Ceviche was my favorite and honestly, the entire meal was very good. It can get quite loud inside so I would not recommend for a business dinner, but it is a great choice for a date or dinner with friends or family. I will be back in the future.

Unfortunately, this was a very disappointing experience from start to finish.
To begin with, when we ordered champagne, the restaurant did not even have proper champagne flutes. It was served in regular wine glasses, which immediately felt careless and unprofessional.
When our tuna carpaccio arrived, I asked a simple and reasonable question: where the tuna was sourced from. The server looked at me and replied that she did not know — without any attempt to check, explain, or provide information. There was no presentation, no product knowledge, and no interest in guiding the guest through the dish.
Overall, the service was inattentive, unengaged, and poorly trained. The staff showed very limited knowledge of the menu and ingredients, which is unacceptable for a restaurant presenting itself as seafood-focused.
We ordered two dishes and chose to leave. The experience did not meet even basic expectations, and we would not return.
Incredible experience. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere felt both modern and cozy at the same time. The chef truly delivers beyond expectations, every bite was full of flavor.

Some of the items we ordered:
1. Kanpachi Ceviche : coconut leche de tigre, crispy corn, red onion, plantain chips (10/10)
2. Tuna Carpaccio Yuca Tostada : cachucha pepper aioli, smoked achiote oil, black lime (10/10)
3. Afro-Caribbean Shrimp Dumplings : coconut bisque, charred scallion oil, herbs (8/10)
4. Sweet Corn Bollo : pecorino, natilla, guajillo chili oil, crispy corn (10/10 my favorite dish)
5. Grilled Skirt Steak : tasajo butter, grilled onion, bone marrow black beans (8.5/10)
6. Sticky Toffee Pudding : platano macho, banana toffee sauce, buttermilk ice cream (9/10)
