“Ono”

Occasion:	Cuisine:	Area:	Cost:	Rating:
Night Out	Asian	MeatPacking	Moderate	Great

elicate slices of tuna, yellowtail, salmon, and eel, with cucumber for texture, and perfectly ripe avocado for a creamy fatty note.

We could have continued to feast on Kazu’s sushi all night, but we did want to give the Scott’s “Very Large Plates” some attention as well. We decided on the surf and turf ($49) and were presented with a long, thick slab of unctuous braised kobe beef short ribs teamed up with a giant grilled king crab leg that was filled with endless amounts of juicy buttery meat. We toyed with the dish for a few moments, and while it was quite good, it was useless to persist. We could not eat another bite. Our bottle of Demon Slayer was finished. And, bellies past the point of full, so were we. While the ghosts of China Grill were in the air, ten years have passed since those days when I was a budding lawyer. And at 35, after three cocktails and a bottle of sake, I was done.

Ono is located in the Hotel Gansevoort at 18 Ninth Avenue, at 13th Street, 212-660-6766.
