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.

What stood out for our Lure experience was the service. Our server was fantastic, and the manager came over to ensure our specialty drink order and gluten free option was made according to our specifications. It's people and relations that make so much of life really enjoyable, including restaurant life, and Lure seems to understand this concept quite well. The food was very good as well. Highly recommend the sea bass.
