This place has a great menu and accommodates vegetarian and gluten free customers. We had a large party of 12 and everyone was more than satisfied. We had margaritas, apps, entrees and dessert. My son had the chocolate cake and says it was awesome. My niece, Rubyz,, took the pics for this review. I highly reccomend if you are in the mood for good food and a light hearted atmosphere.

Good selection of healthy food and indulgences. Best for a casual night out. Unfortunately, highly inconsistent. Sometimes it’s great. I have also had my worse restaurant experience every there. 2 hrs waiting for food. Bugs on vegetables. Baconless bacon bloody Mary. A raw burger. I have been a regular be for years but the last couple visits have been so horrendous, I can’t imagine going back. They need to turn this around, because the concept is great.

Hands down the best place to eat in town. Staffs were extremely friendly especially MiraBai she was amazingly attentive and fantastically great. She should get a raise.

the environment is pleasant and comfortable. the food was great. I had the carnitas tacos and I LOVED THEM. it was the exact amount of food I wanted, but I think most people will need to get something else as well as the tacos since you only get two and they aren’t huge. the service was attentive, and helpful! I told them when I came in that I only had twenty minutes to eat and they got me my food and still ensured I had a great experience! so happy.

If you are a foodie or love exploring interesting favor experiences, this place is for you. I had bites of the brussel sprouts appetizer, the sweet potato appetizer, the black bean burger, and the cauliflower steak, and MY GOD, absolutely amazing all around. Complicated evolving flavor palettes and fantastic creativity, this place is worth experiencing.

Decent quality food, but not as good as I was expecting from reviews. Very busy place, and would definitely recommend a reservation if you want to be able to spend time here. I went without one, and they were able to seat us immediately with the condition we needed to be out before their next reservation. Highly recommend their chicken wing appetizer, if you can handle a little bit of spice. This was definitely the best dish I had to eat while there.

Busy and cheery. Ate on covered deck. Salmon was melt in the mouth smooth with light charing. Delicious Tiramisu. and you get to watch the dogs! And if you want to get away from the crowd, you can sit at a greenhouse covered picnic table.

First time going to brunch at Agava and I was not disappointed! Crabby patties were a hit with me, as were the wood oven cinnamon rolls. Partner had a specialty omelette and liked it a lot. Not a cheap place per se, but for two with coffee and “appetizer” came to $38 but we had a $10 off coupon that brought that total down.

The menu has been repeatedly changed in the last few years. This change was definitely for the better. I had an herb roasted salmon that was delicious. Portions are generous. The only downside is that tables are close together and it can get a little noisy.
