    This has become our Christmas Eve tradition. Agave is run by the Sobel family and they are all there working at once. This was Jack Sobel’s creation almost 25 years ago and the dining experience he brings is outstanding. I had the swordfish that was on special and loved it. My wife had the scallops and they were outstanding. My kids all got the cayenne fried chicken and all swear it’s the best thing on the menu. We finished with Key lime Pie, chocolate torte, and of course the amazing flan. I would say this has become one of my favorite restaurants over the decades and I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants an all around awesome dining experience. Great for dates and meeting up with friends as well as family dinners. Don’t forget the tasty Margaritas!

    The restaurant has a nice ambiance. We were seated in the enclosed patio type area by the fireplace. We were the 1st customers for the evening, so not sure why we were not seated in the main dining area by the inside fireplace but it was fine. The issue was that under the cushions of the bench seating is dirty. You need to clean under there daily. Additionally, there were 2 dirty glasses on the shelf by the fireplace, above our heads that obviously had been there for some time unnoticed by restaurant staff.

    First, I must say that last night‘s experience was truly enjoyable. I had a chance to sit down to dinner after a musical presentation with my music as a colleagues. One of the best parts about the evening was being able to invite them to Agave Restaurant Where the food is delicious, flavorful, fragrant, and aesthetically appealing. The staff was a gracious and accommodating. The comment that won the hearts of the people was, “as a trained chef, I only go to restaurants better than mine”. That comment made the head Chef and owner smile so, I’ll be back early next year to enjoy another wonderful experience at Agave restaurant.

    Agave is one of our favorite places to come, whether it's for happy hour at the bar with our favorites Lisa or Aubrey or dining in. There may be 2 or 3 of us and sometimes 10. But the service is always great, the drinks and food are always good and Mark is another of our favorite servers.
