Camera in the Kitchen: One Little West 12th

Selling itself as both "earthy" and "sexy," ONE Little West 12 offers a dim, lounge-like setting with a menu that invites diners to get intimate on plush couches while indulging in cocktails and the fusion cuisine of chef Gavin Citron. With a menu that offers serving sizes for you, for me, and for all, options range from "Wild Salmon Paillard with Pickled Beets, Marinated Chick Peas and Yoghurt" all the way to "Erica's Bad Ass Cheeseburgers with Saga Blue and Cheddar." Cheese platters, crispy calamari, and pizzettas are top picks for bigger groups; compliments to the ample wine and cocktail lists. If feeling particularly extravagant or stressing to impress, 30g of Iranian Oscetra caviar is offered for $96, or one can try the famed sirloin of Wagyu Kobe Beef accompanied by Potato Latkes, Garlic Kale and Cauliflower for $60.

Located at it's namesake (1 Little West 12th St), the restaurant is open 7 days a week for dinner and for brunch on the weekends. The VIP room downstairs is available for special events. (212) 255 - 9717.

This makes me sad. Because this is where Rio Mar used to be located, a classic Spanish place that had the best food and $8 bottomless pitchers of Sangria. It was such as special restaurant that to see this souless place come into the space that looks exactly like every other place, it just is such a drag.

It's a nice enough place - I've eaten there - but the lament is real; if they served sangria, you'd be lucky to get a thimble-ful for $8. It's overpriced to hell, and the scene is obnoxious on the weekends.

Rather pretty when no one's in there, though.

the meatpacking district has been named Douchebag Square. Not to be confused with it's sister destination of that strip of Third Ave. in the 30's called Douchebag Alley.

RIP Rio Mar. That place was great.

Rio mar was actually across the street from One.
I don't know who has occupied it now, as I have purposely not set foot in that area for almost two years.
