From the OpenTable editors: Few places do Spanish food as well as this cozy Gramercy restaurant serving some of the city's best tapas since 2003. Star chef Andy Nusser makes the food he grew up eating in Spain, and dishes like garlicky razor clams, delicate bone marrow, and creamy scrambled eggs with uni have helped the restaurant score a MICHELIN star and a coveted three-star review from The New York Times.

    Casa Mono was a great dissappointment. After a few months of stay in Madrid, with excellent restaurants, the food in this Spanish restaurant is very poor, the ambiance too noisy and the tables and space too small and uncomfortable. The rocquettes were disappointly oily, the "papas bravas" were well cooked but the sauce was disappointing, the fannel salad was tasteless and the pieces of manchego cheese do not make it better. And so was the "crema catalana": whereas the sugar cote was well made, the cream itself was poor (and the buñuelos were badly made and cooked)

    We had another fantastic meal at Casa Mono. Between the delicious food, unique wine, and excellent service, we could not have been more pleased with choosing Casa Mono for dinner.

    Sat at the bar, best seats in the place. Loved watching the chef and crew making the delicious food. Great service, great flavors, great energy. The dishes we didn’t get around to ordering are now a good excuse to go back!

    Casa Mono is quaint and cozy. You are so close to the people around you that it would be impolite not to start a conversation. It was through this conversation that we got two recommendations. Since it is a tapas bar and it was two of us, we were advised to get four to six dishes. We opted for six, which included the sardinas fritas, pulpo, skirt steak, duck breast, braised oxtail, and the brussel sprouts. When I say everything is delicious, I mean EVERYTHING! However, I did have a favorite. Believe it or not, it was the brussel sprouts. I think I can honestly eat it every day for the rest of my life! I can't remember what the dessert was called that I had, but it was with ice cream, a chocolate ganache, and some kind of cookie. It was light but also decadent. Also, keep in mind the vast array of wines to choose from, but the sommellier is right there to assist. It was truly a lovely experience, and we are already planning to go back.
