"Casa Mono is a reliable classic that will impress anyone in the market for small plates of seafood, meat, and vegetables. Just know that a tapas dinner here can get expensive quickly, and you usually can’t just walk in. (Even the bar next door, Bar Jamón, is often too busy for you to find a seat.) Make a reservation and come here on a double date with people who won’t mind sharing things like bacalao croquetas, goat confit, and crispy pig ears. Get access to exclusive reservations at this spot with Chase Sapphire Reserve. New cardmembers get $300 in annual dining statement credits." - willa moore, bryan kim, matt tervooren, will hartman
