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.

In terms of Mexican and Latin food, this was average. The tacos and standard mexican food were done well, but anything outside of that was sub-par at best and way over priced. I ordered the short ribs and had rock shrimp as an appetizer. The short rib was dry with zero flavor, and the rock shrimp (recommended by the server) tasted like breading from a chicken mcnugget w/ a mediocre dipping sauce on the side. They made a big deal about trying some of their new cocktails, but it was bland and nothing special for $14 per drink. I don't know about you, but I'm pretty tired of NYC prices for mediocre food and drinks.
Pros: Decent service, beautiful decor, no wait for reservation
Cons: Food, Drinks, prices

Agave is a great spot to go sit outside and have a couple tasty frozen margaritas. The food is also delicious.
