Extremely bad service, we went there at 10:30pm(they close at midnight), the waiter was extremely rude to us and saying it’s last call. We said we liked something like xxxx style, he just replied we are doing last call so you should just pick one or go. Then we left, extremely bad service, the waiter should get fired!!! DO NOT GO!!! I haven’t never been treated so bad like this on this planet!!! Guy seriously this place is a joke!!!

Really dark wine and ham bar. Seating is community tables, so you will be sat VERY CLOSE to strangers, where they can hear your entire conversation, and vice versa. Seating is all stools, no proper seats. The food is amazing! Got the pan con tomate, the pulpo Morocco and the jamon Serrano: absolutely sublime!

We dined on tapas at this cute little spot/ wine bar…we ordered the pan con tomato ( delicious, reminded me of my time in spain), jamon serrano, and the octopus- both also yummy! On this visit we did not get the wine but next time will! Highly recommend!

Casa mono bar jamon. I'm not impressed with the food here. I had high expectations due to the fact that the restaurant was 21 on NYT (New York Times) top 100. I had four different dishes and 1 intrigued me. Desert was also refreshing. Staff was nice. Could use more room.

Spent an unforgettable evening here with good food & drinks under a warm romantic setting that encourages calmness and intimacy. This is a great spot for one of those first dates where you can strike a good lengthy conversation without being interrupted. The bartender knows exactly what you need if you take the time to explain, and is very friendly. Thanks for a great time!

The front server is incredibly rude and racist, being the only Asians in the restaurant we did not appreciate him taking everyone’s orders except ours in the restaurant, and proceeding to tell us to move our bags for new guests when we waited a long time for our own table to be wiped and order to be taken.

Probably closest thing nyc has to a tapas place, encouraging people to be in a tighter space, also standing up at the bar, small plates, good wines. Really like the atmosphere.

Got there and the guy that attended at the door and looked at me up and down and said it was close at 11pm
DO NOT COME HERE. Awful service and lousy food. A hole in the wall with a max of 12 people, and still had to flag the waiter down multiple times to try to order. He kept walking away prior to completing the order, like in mid sentence; meanwhile, the people next to us, who arrived after us, got their food, ate, and left, and we were STILL waiting for our glass of wine! Twenty minutes later, when we inquired about our food, the waiter responded, “Do you want me just to cancel your order?”
We should have just left. Two cheap glasses of red wine, a very small plate of Ibérico ham, a handful of olives in flavorless oil, burrata and honey, and the bill came to $90–and we were still starving. So not worth it. I wish I could get my money back. Don’t waste your time.

Service was terrible Waiter walked away from me while taking an order. Consequently, we waited 30 minutes for olives and burrato. When the waiter was approached in regards to walking away from the customer when placing an order, he said I can cancel the order if you would like. Food was ok. I will never go back to Bar Jamon again. I will be honest with you this was very disappointing because I was really excited to initially to try Bar Jamon.

Food and wine were good (albeit over priced) But service wasn’t good. Was a solo dinner and seated at an empty communal table right next to someone else who ended up being a party of 3. Asked to move to the other end but was told that was being “held” for potentially 6 people. 2 minutes later another solo diner is seated there. I ordered two food dishes, but one was forgotten and never received even though the order was repeated back to me. Then later wanted to get the churro dessert and was told it would take about 20/30 min because it was coming from the main restaurant. Ok fine thats alright but then I also asked for an espresso I had seen someone else order 30 min before me and I was told that they won’t do that now because they are busy and it comes from the main restaurant? Why can’t it come with the churro then? Seems silly for a tapas restaurant not to be able to accommodate a simple coffee. Overall service was not good and I was mainly ignored.

Have been coming to Casa Mono and Bar Jamón for years as we live in the neighborhood. Today’s experience at Bar Jamón was a shame. Two empty tables outside, I asked if I could seat, one of the waiters said they are reserved although there were no sign on the table marking as reserved.
Then he asked if we were going to eat and I said that we could have some tapas, and he said at least 3 if we wanted to have the table. Which was fine, I mention we just wanted to stay half an hour or so, so we were ok to order a couple of tapas. Then after 10 minutes no one comes to take our order and my friend goes inside and the same waiter tells her that we had to leave. He comes out and I told him we have agreed to half an hour, and he said they called me they are on the way… whoever “they” were, referring to the clients who supposedly reserved the table.
When I mentioned I was from the neighborhood, then he backed out, and offer to stay.
We left, no need to take this level of mistreatment from anyone.
And by the way, we had the drink at the corner of Bar Jamón, and no one showed up for the supposed reservation.
Very rude, condescending and unnecessary treatment.
The picture one the empty tables 45 minutes later…

Had marinated mussels, board of 6 different kinds of cheese ?, plate of jamon, and 5 glasses of white wine from Jerez. I was enjoying it, it was delicious and fun. And of course, the best churros ? for dessert I've ever tried. I didn't ask for my servers name, but she was super nice and very knowledgeable. I'm definitely coming back and bringing more people.

Great little spot! We sat at the wine bar. The ambiance was enjoyable, music is not too loud. The sommelier gave us great suggestions for wine.
Some of the dishes were a miss (paella croqueta and pulpo a la plancha, namely) but we totally fell in love with the fluke crudo, creamy eggs, and bone marrow. Another thing to note, the food temperature was a bit inconsistent, and some dishes that needed to be hot, arrived lukewarm.
Overall though, we had a very enjoyable dinner and would come back to try other dishes from the menu.
