The Ago restaurant inside his <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Greenwich+Hotel/local/1047"><b>Greenwich Hotel</b></a> (from chef Agostino Sciandri) suffered a humiliating beating from NY Times food critic <a href="http://events.nytimes.com/2008/06/11/dining/reviews/11rest.html?pagewanted=1">Frank Bruni</a>--receiving zero stars and a "Poor" rating.<blockquote><p>This restaurant isn't in the hospitality business. It's in the attitude business, projecting an aloofness that permeated all of my meals there, nights of wine and poses for swingers on the make, cougars on the prowl and anyone else who values a sort of facile fabulousness over competent service or a breaded veal Milanese with any discernible meat.</blockquote></p><p>Yikes. But despite a terrible review from Bruni, clueless Manhattanites and celeb wannabes must still be hitting up this "hotspot."
