Agave is one of our favorite places to come, whether it's for happy hour at the bar with our favorites Lisa or Aubrey or dining in. There may be 2 or 3 of us and sometimes 10. But the service is always great, the drinks and food are always good and Mark is another of our favorite servers.

It’s always good time at Agave. I was there to celebrate a friend’s birthday and had an opportunity to sit in the loft area. It was an awesome experience.
