It's Restaurant Week in NYC. Scratch that - Restaurant Week has been extended until the end of February. I guess you can call that Restaurant Winter.
Last week we bundled up and headed down to the Gansevoort Hotel in the Meatpacking District for a $35 three course, prix fixe at Ono. The menu looked promising. I went with the spicy tuna maki appetizer, braised short ribs & king crab leg surf and turf, and warm chocolate miso cake. My sister ordered the crispy pork dumplings appetizer, half duck barbequed in plum sauce, and also the chocolate cake. Everything was done perfectly. The ribs were tender, the duck was tasty (although a little tricky to eat, not recommended for dates), and the cake oozed out warm chocolate. Way to go Ono!
I should add that Ono also offered a wine pairing menu with the dinner menu for $12.95. Nothing special in the pairings, but it was a great idea. Plus, they did a nice job with the space.
All China Grill Management restaurants have extended Restaurant Winter until the end of March. Check 'em out.

the most amazing thing about the cake was that it just kept oozing. after every bite more warm chocolate filling just kept coming, it was incredible. The portions were very large as well. I always kind of assumed that a set menue would mean smaller portions, but I was wrong. We took home 1/4 of a duck and ribs!
Overall very impressed
