Ago - Don't Go?
"New York Times critic Frank Bruni laying into Ago, the trendy Tribeca spot part-owned by Robert DeNiro, after his party was doused with wine and finally seated 52 minutes after his reservation. It brings back memories of our treatment of nearby Mr. Chow's. These places only exist as "scenes," not for the quality of food, and definitely not to service their customers. It's more like paying for the priviledge to get the shaft. Bruni dropping a rare "poor" rating on Ago, so don't go. "
