We love going to Agave so much so we have gone approximately 6 years on Valentine’s Day. I made a comment to one of the workers that I remember her every time we have been there I’ve seen her. Sorry I don’t remember her name but her and Annie were AWESOME!! Annie made our night very memorable. Thank you Annie!!

We had a garlic allergy in our party and the chef came out to chat about the allergy and to figure out how they could accommodate the allergy. Her food was delish and she was so happy! As usual my food was amazing
