AGAVE Restaurant & Lounge

Excellent fresh breakfast choices. The menu is short yet sweet. Covers all the basics you need. Some of the freshest eggs. I was even able to sub out my meat for avocado. Some of the freshest jam ever ever for my toast i devoured every last bite! I feel like service could need a little help here it was super slow at times and we just found ourselves waiting on our waiter for a good 10 min or so just to get our tab. The decor inside is really get and modern. Manager was walking around making everything was great.They even had half of their restaurant set up for a wedding brunch which looked great i just wish their menu offered brunch! Might attract more people.

Agave restaurant is located in Eldorado Hotel just a few blocks away from Old Town Santa Fe. It's in a good location and is a good complement to the hotel itselfOverall, I found the food to be ok...and definitely pricey (expecting it especially for it being in center Santa Fe tourist area!). They were all good but a bit limited in terms of selection and taste (most were on a bland side). That said, portion was not small, so make sure to pace yourself or go with someone who will split different plates with you.The restaurant itself had a nice, quiet setting. However, I found it packed a bit of a lively ambiance. It was more on a quiet side and I wished there were more crowds to spice the environment up a bit (there were just a few tables in the dining room...and not anyone at a bar area at all). I supposed many people may not know to seek this place out.Perhaps, if you have time and are in the area and are looking for a low key, quiet place and don't mind some high price point, Agave is definitely a decent place. I wouldn't mind eating here again.

We have stayed at this hotel for years but recent experience at Agave for breakfast left us disappointed. We were the ONLY diners at the restaurant on a Sunday during brunch. Service was extremely slow, waitress forgot to serve my juice until reminded, blue corn pancakes tasted reheated, walnuts on the pancakes were rancid. Eggs benedict were hard cooked and potatoes were cold. When I asked for a manager he was out and no one here could do anything about it and we were asked to wait for him to return, within 30 min meanwhile we waited with the bill. Skip this place as there are many great restaurants in Santa Fe.

Had dinner there last night! Excellent food & service! I ordered the pork chop; it was cooked perfectly! My husband had the ribeye; he loved it. We would recommend to anyone who loves incredible food!

came in for some happy hour eats. Opted for a glass of wine and prosciutto flatbread. The service was okay but definitely lackluster. Same with the food. The flatbread was not even warm and the flavor just wasn't really there. Pretty, cozy interior and a nice live musician but just underwhelming overall.

I love to write 5 star reviews, because I'm lucky enough to live in a city where both the food and the service is usually stellar. However, having just left Agave, I have to give consumers a tip. RUN AWAY! Go anywhere else.I live in Santa Fe. I've been to Agave for at least what feels like a hundred times. Possibly more. In the past couple of years the service has fallen off, and it's now abysmal. This evening is a case in point. We just wanted to run downtown and have a snack and a cocktail.First, it took 15 minutes for a server to come to our table. When he did, he didn't know what a gimlet was. So there was stalling and talking to the bartender (who never ever offered anything. When we asked her if we needed to order at the bar, she said, "No a server will be with you immediately" which meant in 10 or 15 minutes) and then after ANOTHER 10 minutes, a long-time employee came over and asked exactly what we ordered. This was after I spelled the word "gimlet" for our prior server.And then the gimlet took forever to make. Finally I see the surly bartender put it up and it sits. And sits. Our server has obviously left the building. I finally walk up and say, "we have been waiting a long time for our drink. Mind if I take these?" She acted perplexed and said, "well, okay." Mind you, this bartender had TWO people at the bar. She could have easily walked our drinks to us across the ten feet between the bar and our table.The food was good. We were surprised that our server who had such a hard time getting a gimlet ordered actually turned in our order. If you're patient enough to wait on the food and drink, you'll be pleasantly surprised by the flatbread and the potatas brava.We spend a lot of time downtown. We spend a lot of money downtown. I don't know when or if we will ever go back to a Heritage property (don't get me started on Secreto at the St. Francis Hotel). You guys need to spend some serious cash on good management and good training.

Had dinner at Agave Restaurant & Lounge in the Eldorado Hotel. The food was well presented but lacked flavor. Portion sizes were on the smaller side. Service was okay, but it felt like they were a bit short-staffed. The ambiance and decor could use a refresh - it feels a little outdated. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience, but nothing stood out either. Giving it three stars.

I remiss of not taking a picture... I came here for happy hour, I ordered the nachos and added steak.. The food was outstanding, and the beer was equally as good... I am stuffed and very satisfied. If you're looking for a great happy hour place I would not pass this one up....

This was an amazing establishment! We went for happy hour and the service was absolutely phenomenal! The manager was super kind and came over to welcome us and hear about our stay in the area! Super hospitable, lovely environment, and the food! ESPECIALLY the shrimp chorizo dish!!! Absoluteky amazing!

What a delightful place to enjoy a fine meal. This was a wonderful treat for my wife and I. The food was amazing. I would indeed return. Thank you so much, chef.
