With Nava now gone, Agave is the only game in town when it comes to creative Southwestern food. Their margaritas are too notch and they offer early bird dinner specials during the week.

Eclectic is right!. This Cabbagetown eclectic southwestern eatery is highly yum! I don't like beef in general but I love love love their chili hatch beef stew so much, I think I could eat it every day. It is a little spicy so be warned and enjoy. The staff here are beyond friendly. We have been fitted in even when it looked unlikely. Reservations encouraged but not entirely necessary. Also love the enchiladas and the fresh margaritas. I never have room for dessert but when we have shared it, we almost wished we weren't sharing!

Boring. Cute environment, but boring food. The menu is a hodge podge. The margaritas have too much mixer in them and can burn a whole in your stomach. The pan seared tuna isn't cooked at all, not even seared. The steak however is pretty good.

Best food in Atlanta. My husband and I love going to Agave. My absolute favorite dish is the Chile Seared Jumbo Diver Sea Scallops - it is to die for - especially since I am a seafood lover. I would definitely recommend going, if you haven't visited this restaurant.

Agave Southwestern Style. If you enjoy southwestern food and have not been to Agave you could be missing out on the best southwestern spot in Atlanta also the enviroment is perfect for a night out with the wife this is a must do spot.

Amazing. The food was SO GOOD! The menu is a bit of a bastard mix but that is what made it fun for us. Tequila shrimp is a must for anyone who likes shrimp - one of my all time favorites!

Best Margarita in town!. This is one of the only places in Atlanta that has such a wide variety of maragrita's. Seriously the best in town. The food is amazing and I am never disappointed. Try the Cayenne Fried Chicken for the Diablo. Great service. Awesome!

LOUD!!!!. I went to a wine dinner here a few months ago with a group of about 8 people. The manager was very nice and went out of his way to make sure everyone was taken care of. The food was good but, overall, the experience dining her was not pleasant due the incredibly high decibel level. It was virtually impossible to converse with people across the table or even sitting right next to you! (The place has very high ceilings and concrete floors.) I will not go back there for that reason alone
