The Best Los Angeles Restaurants That Are Open on Monday Nights | Eater LA
"Si! Mon swept into Venice’s beachside dining scene in late September 2023, bringing with it Panamanian flavors and dishes that span foodways from across Central America. The tightly composed menu zig-zags from buttery, briny starters like uni and littleneck clam shooters to razor-thin, achiote oil-splashed tuna carpaccio draped over a yuca tostada to double-fried green banana patacones served with a lip-puckering ajillo sauce. The pièce de résistance, however, is the gluten-free fried chicken drumsticks, which are lollipopped and dusted with a verdant seasoning salt comprised of pulverized roasted rice, shiitake mushrooms, and an intoxicating blend of alliums and herbs. (Diners also can’t go wrong with the crispy pork belly lettuce wraps served alongside coconut vinegar-spiked beans and the banana leaf-steamed kanpachi.) Planted in the former James Beach space, which has been done up with rich tropical colors and mid-century furniture, Si! Mon proves to be an unbeatable night out by the boardwalk, and an ideal option for Monday night dinners. — Nicole Adlman, cities manager" - Rebecca Roland
