I may be able to be a little help, but can't answer all of your questions. We checked out the 28th. Ono's is still there. We had exceptionally bad service at the Christmas Day Buffet. The mgr. was very gracious and took off the mandatory 18% for our table of four. We ate a couple of other meals there that were okay. We had wonderful food at Tropica and good service. Very nice atmosphere and we sat next to a waterfall. A magician wanders from table to table and does some entertaining illusions. Wish we had time to go back again.

I seem to remember that to the right of Ono's was the Asian Noodle Cafe. From what I saw it was a walkup bar with pasta choices and limited hours. But, I never looked closely (and might be totally wrong) so maybe someone else can give details.
