    I was intrigued by the menu which looked interesting. I also love fine cheese, so it seemed like a good place to try. I wasn’t blown away by the food, overall. And the service was subpar. Our waiter seemed disinterested and barely checked in on us. We waited longer for our drinks and food than I would have liked. The music was very loud, making it difficult to have a conversation without raising our voices. Personally, I have grown to hate this aspect of most trendy restaurants these days. We started with the cheese board and tinned fish apps. These were terrific and probably my favorite part of the meal. I had the Pachamama Pork Chop served on coconut grits and persimmon honey mustard as my entree which I found very tasty but overpriced at $58. My wife was disappointed with the Radiators in Red Sauce. I didn’t like it very much either. My Father had the Fried Chicken and didn’t like it at all. I thought it okay but not great. Disappointing overall. We did enjoy the Thai Fried Banana Split for dessert. Probably wouldn’t dine here again.

    Cute place, anything with cheese hit the spot. Ordered fried chicken and all we got was a drum & a thigh, both had hardly any meat on them. So if I go back I’ll stick to their cheese dishes only.

    The food here is beyond great!! We love the ambiance and the wood fired grill adds a romantic vibe too. Their wine list is wonderful and they have a great selection of aperitifs as well. The staff are very friendly and attentive to making your experience a fantastic one! I highly recommend this restaurant. They also have a Cheesery and the selection of cheeses is ABSOLUTELY fantastic!! Great for gift shopping too. Lots of tin fish, oils, wine…I could go on and on.

    We have had a number of meals here including NYE dinners, and have, until now, really enjoyed Agnes. Last night was an exception. The service was indifferent. Except for the salad, serving portions were small and over priced. The music was loud and not appropriate for a New Year's eve dining experience. We were pretty disappointed and probably won't be back.
