I recently had the unfortunate opportunity experience Casa Mono and it was an absolute nightmare. From the moment I walked in, everything went downhill.Firstly, the service was incredibly poor. The food was simply atrocious. The quality was severely lacking. The dishes were either overcooked, underseasoned, or just downright unappetizing. It felt as though the food had been sitting for hours before being served. The taste was bland, and the presentation was far from appealing. I have had better meals at Mc Donald’s…..Worst food experience in NYC, do NOT expend your money in this place

We ordered a bottle of wine and a cider. The cider tasted horrible and when I asked for a different drink (after taking only a sip) they told me they were still going to charge me for it. Fair enough but not indicative of great customer service.

Great vibes, solid vermouth selection and reasonably priced small plates. Bar is standing room only but you get to watch the folks behind the bar cook.

It's the only establishment I have encountered that programmed the Toast payment handheld to suggest a service charges ("tip") on the Government sales tax.Up to now I didn't have to think twice when paying on a Toast handheld terminal, but then comes this unethical restaurant. Would be a 5 star review otherwise for food and wine quality plus service and ambiance. A shame.

Oh NYC, you're so overrated and overpriced. Very loud, dark, tapas restaurant with of course attitude from the staff. A couple long communal tables (don't like) a few seats at the bar and a few at the window. Fortunately, grabbed (literally)seats by the window. We had a few small uninspired plates - beet salad with pistachios, smoked trout and few cheeses.(see my terrible photos) It was OK...just. They have a nice wine selection but difficult to find a bottle under a $100 (see photo). Fly to Spain to see how it's done. Depending on the wine it may cost you the same. Dined, March 2023

Best restaurant and my favorite overall NYC! Vibe is so cozy with wooden interior, jamon quality was absolutely amazing.Please try foie gras! It was life changing.I have lived in Europe for several years and ate pretty much foie but I had best foie at Jamon Bar. Also the chef was so nice and friendly. It is a bit pricy since the food quality was great! Will definitely go back.

This is a very cute and cozy (small) wine bar with high quality tapas tucked away just off Irving Place. They keep it simple here with a short, straightforward menu and the wine selection is great. I will say, the space is very small inside and echoed quite a lot. My friend and I ended up moving outside because it was extremely loud (despite there only being a couple other groups seated at the time). The service wasn't necessarily bad, but our waiter was not really knowledgeable about the menu items or wine selection which seemed strange to me. The menu is written out on a board at the front of the bar--not only is it hard to distinguish between each item, but also there is no description so questions were warranted. We did feel a little rushed as they piled everything on our table at once to the point where it was difficult to set down my drink. And, my waiter tried taking my expensive glass of wine that I was nowhere near done with away without me noticing... Honestly don't think this would be a good first date spot as things didn't exactly go smoothly. Despite the minor service flaws, everything we ordered was delicious, except for the arugula and shaved fennel salad that seemed to have just been extremely over salted by accident. This is a solid casual spot to stop by for a drink after work or before dinner. Not to mention, the surrounding area is gorgeous too.

I used to love this place so much. It still has the great vibe and a nice wine list, but the quality of the food has taken a serious dip, Dishes were just sloppy in their balance and presentation. Main elements were drowning in sauce and garnish. Obviously the passion is gone. And you are paying Gramercy prices.
I understand that we are in New York and not in Madrid, but if you are going to overcharge people this much, please at least serve a proper tortilla (eggs and potatoes)

I really appreciate this place. Excellent wines by the glass with great food / dessert options (given affiliation with Casa Mono). Bar itself is small / intimate / casual. A place to have a drink with incredible quality

Cozy little Spanish bar with a huge wine selection and tapas.

We where kicked out my the supposed manager for being a couple more people that expected (11people vs 7) I hope the real manager of this place reads this. I am a restaurant owner and this is the kind of people that make you lose money. He will say we where “rowdy” but that is not true… I dont gain anything form this review. Please reach out if you want to have a call on what happened but that manager needs to check his staff

Manager was very rude and did not accept our group only because he thought we could be rowdy.
