This place gets busy fast and the energy here is great. The food is amazing and even though I haven’t been to Spain I can picture what it would be like. As a Greek this reminds me of mezedes and being that there are some common dishes throughout the Mediterranean your mind can travel through them all. At Casa Mono you can taste the Mediterranean as well as the Spanish colonies and modern fusion with dishes like - Leg of Lamb with Salted Ibiza Chocolate Sauce and Shiitakes, Rabbit with Habañero Cuajada and Mono Kimchee and Confit Goat with Avocado Queso, Zucchini and Pistachio just to mention a few.
