This is a wonderful restaurant. The food is fresh and delicious and the menu is extensive, there are so many choices. We always share a bunch of cold dips / mezzes and hot mezzes and larger plates. The fish is always flavorful and well-cooked. And little details are on point - like comfortable chairs. The atmosphere is also quieter, this is a place you can have a conversation! Recommended.

The food is fresh and delicious, the service was great, the restaurant is very nice, with free parking. However, the music was way too loud to be pleasant and me and my date were not able to speak to each other without talking at a very, very loud level while sitting next to each other. My recommendation would be to turn down the music a lot.

I love everything about Agora - the food is creative and makes me want to travel. The drinks are a play on the classics and new inventions. The service is always attentive and doesn’t turn up their nose when guests express their allergies and ask for advice on dishes. It’s such a warm vibe with eclectic guests from around the world and around the city. I only wish they were open til midnight but I understand good cooks and servers deserve a break if they’re going to keep up their energy and deliver delightful experiences. Thanks Agora team!
