Lynn Marie FrancoJuly 7, 2016Love this place! Food is delicious, service is great and they are very accommodating to special diet needs. Pro tip: this place tends to be more crowded in the winter (1+ wait) so come in the summer.
Intown Expert, Jennifer Kjellgren & AssociatesJanuary 29, 2013This southwestern eatery has been making headlines since it opened in 2000. Food is made to order with the best ingredients, some flown in directly from New Mexico.
Dariah TruesdellApril 6, 2015Went for date night with my bf on Saturday night (definitely recommend reservations).Nice atmosphere but hard to have a conversation. Try the chocolate and banana cheesecake, enough for two to share
Santi PumaOctober 24, 2015Love this place! Especially the jalepeño margarita!!! Food is always delicious every time I go! Don't forget to try the appetizer corn! Always think of downtown LA corn carts...so good.- Daniel ValdesNovember 2, 2016The stuffed trout is amazing! Smoky and stuffed with mushrooms, crawfish, basil. The photo does not do it justice. A must try!
- Nest Atlanta Real Estate GroupFebruary 4, 2014Great spot for a romantic dinner - it's It is a little tight, so don't expect a lot of privacy. Try the Fish Tacos and/ or the Cayenne Fried Chicken (about $15).
Jackie SmithFebruary 26, 2016The ribs...the fried chicken. ..the Margaritas....the banana cheesecake is to die for!
ROC House Women's Fitness SpaJuly 31, 2013Loved the agave salad: organic field greens, zucchini, squash, tomatoes, artichokes, and roasted sweet & spicy pecans in a herb & red wine citrus vinaigrette.
Jim WhiteJuly 4, 2012Great experience! We had a party of 27 and they were nothing short of amazing. Try the swordfish, meatballs, fried chicken, etc...and tip the valets no less than $5
Everything is great! Keep coming back until you have eaten everything on the menu at least once. Always finish with Peanut Butter Pie. It's got a kick!
Sean RamirezNovember 13, 2016If you're on a date ask for the romantic table for two next to the fireplace in the back. 😍
- Daniel ValdesDecember 13, 2015Great seafood and wonderful atmosphere make this restaurant stand out above the crowd
Viranuj SueblinvongNovember 23, 2015I went there twice, want to go back again. Can't go wrong with key lime pie for dessert, one of the best I've ever had.- Kevin A. StanleyAugust 1, 2013WONDERFUL restaurant! Interesting decor, great food (including one of the best steaks I've ever had), and dynamite service! Ask for Rob!
AtlantaFebruary 4, 2014If it’s date night you’re interested in, ask to be seated in the side room, where on a chilly night you may be able to enjoy a fireside dinner.
Erin HallDecember 21, 2010Wow, awesome place...EVERYTHING was delicious and the surroundings r very comfortable and cool. Fried chicken is moist and flavorful. Cleared my plate of diver scallops with honey glazed collards and
Hard to go wrong here. Margaritas are exceptional and food is top notch. Seafood dishes are always a good choice and the green chile stew has a nice kick that's perfect on a chilly night.- Local Lust: Everything is great! Keep coming back until you have eaten everything on the menu at least once. Always finish with Peanut Butter Pie. It's got a kick!
Amazing food - always. I love the fried chicken and the short ribs are good too. What a great restaurant in Atlanta!
Creative Loafing AtlantaJanuary 23, 2012Hatch green chiles are one of the most flavorful varieties, and yet we rarely see them used. Luckily, they're the main ingredient of this stew. Read more
Merilee D.October 12, 2018Agave wasn't really for me. When I want Mexican food, I want the more authentic traditional meals. And it felt a little overpriced for me. Just not my cup of tea but it was packed so people do like it
Darrin TebbeMay 5, 2013Ceviche was awesome, as were the scallops and flat-iron steak! A little on the pricey side, but food was top-notch.
Oakland CemeteryJune 22, 2010Crave from the Grave: You can't go wrong with the Cayenne Fried Chicken. Mmm...tasty. Best margaritas in the city too. While you're in the n'hood stop on by Oakland!
The stuffed trout is a must. It is unbelievable how good it is. There are no words. Best birthday meal I've ever had!- Creative Loafing AtlantaMay 20, 2010Cliff Bostock says of Agave's posole: I've eaten gallons of the stuff in Mexico and Houston and along Buford Highway. Chef-owner Jack Sobel's is as good as any I've had. Read more
Delicious southwestern food. The scallop dish is fantastic.
Jake JonesJanuary 6, 2013The Peachtree Margarita is pretty tasty. Just don't make the mistake of not making a reservation/being seated in the loft area.
Taste of AtlantaJuly 6, 2012Stop by between 5-7 p.m. and get the two for one appetizers when you sit at the Agave tequila bar.
Go to Agave and sample from over 100 Tequilas on hand. Also, get 2 for 1 apps from 5-7pm at the bar. Then enjoy a lovely dinner near one of their two fireplaces. Read more
Veronica PearmanNovember 13, 2010Just left and I had the best Ceviche I've ever had in Atlanta! Only went in for drinks but decided to nibble. Cool Place. EXCELLENT SERVICE!!!!
Try the Spicy Tequilla Shrimp - An awesome adaptation of shrimp and grits- Yolanda HeardApril 15, 2013Join their email list for $12 entrees if seated between 5pm and 6pm 7 days a week.
RobFebruary 28, 2011Fried chicken is amazing. Guacamole is so so, but the chips and salsa are excellent. Margaritas are not to be missed
Call ahead for seating. This is a very busy place most nights of the week for VERY GOOD reason!
With the savvy shopper coupon, this is the best deal in the city. I have never had anything that wasn't delicious and never brought anyone here that didn't love it.
- Try the Chile Seared Jumbo Diver Sea Scallops - Love it!!!
Sara McGlothlinOctober 4, 2011Get: meatloaf, peanut butter pie. Don't get: guacamole, mango margarita.- have to try short ribs. consistently good. not true elsewhere. see Mary Lisa at bar for best recommendations!
More southwestern than I would say Mexican. Best margaritas in Atlanta!
