I always love dining at Agave! I brought two friends with me as it was their first experience… My best friend ordered the scallops per my recommendation and her bf ordered the wagyu burger. Both of them were so please! I ordered the swordfish with mango salsa… excellent! Chef always does such a great job with flavor combinations, service, and atmosphere. Great vibes and terrific food.

The fried chicken breast...a must try. If you don't have seafood allergies, the shrimp rolls are spectacular.

I can never say enough good things about this restaurant. It is a special occasion go to for us. Service is always fantastic, and you can’t do better than the ambience at Agave. We’ve been here on our anniversary several times and they always treat us right. Even with all the people coming there for Valentine’s Day we still got great service. 👍😊👍

We love going to Agave so much so we have gone approximately 6 years on Valentine’s Day. I made a comment to one of the workers that I remember her every time we have been there I’ve seen her. Sorry I don’t remember her name but her and Annie were AWESOME!! Annie made our night very memorable. Thank you Annie!!
