Editorial Review for AGAVE – by Sandra Ramani
The Scene
Smooth adobe walls, spruce-latticed ceilings and flickering candles help create the stylishly relaxed vibe. Sit by the tall front windows watching West Village strollers, or settle into the warm, spacious back dining room. An informed, unobtrusively friendly staff takes care of newcomers and the slew of Agave addicts alike.
The Food
The menu offers fresh, intricately flavored twists on Southwestern fare, in generous portions. Standout appetizers include red snapper seviche, lamb and manchego taquitos and perfect guacamole. Cumin croutons, spiced pecans and jicama enhance the hearty salads. Quesadillas and tacos are kicked up a notch with barbecued-duck picadillo or Maine lobster fillings, accented by mango pico or sweet plantains. Well-prepared skirt steak and Angus short ribs with a delicate mole are entree favorites. Save room for Mexican vanilla creme brulee or cider-glazed, pecan-stuffed apples with ice cream--then come back for one of the best brunches in town.

I have tried twice. both times the food was average. certainly no match for Rosa's, and less tasty than Dos Caminos too. let's face it, it's tough finding good mexican in this city. Very good water glass refilling though!! Every time I took a sip, it got refilled. I tried just making motions toward the water glass, and he would react. He's fast!!

I was looking forward to finally visitng this place after reading the good reviews..but what a rip-off! The food and drinks were very average- I've made better guacamole at home! I had the chili shrimp as an entree, which said it came with grapefruit, avocado, and an herb salad- for $26 I received 5 pieces of shrimp, 4 slices of avocado and grapefruit, and no salad to be found. My boyfriend then ordered grappa as an after dinner drink and was brought a shot of port wine! The waiter did not know of the difference between them, but knew enough to charge so much for a shot of port! All in all I will not return, as there are so many better mexican restaurants in this city!
Pros: Happy hours daily- but at the bar only
Cons: Misleading menus, poor customer service
