I went for dinner on a Tuesday and the restaurant and bar area were so packed I couldn't hear my friends across the table. But apparently that's why you go to Ago. The restaurant is small and warmly decorated, and the wait staff is pretty attentive, though not necessarily friendly. The food is very expensive, but there are the rare deals thrown in. ""It's a rich-man, poor-man type of food,"" Chef Agostino says on the restaurant's Web site, and he's right. The $12 Zuppa del Golfo soup (like cioppino) I ordered had a delicious flavor and was so laden with tender chunks of salmon and other types of seafood (honestly, the best seafood I've ever had) that I couldn't eat my entree. I'll just get that next time!
Pros: Good food
Cons: Expensive
