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.
I have a lot of food restrictions and our server was so sweet and conscientious about it. I really felt taken care of and not like an inconvenience.
This place has really delicious food, it's not overpriced, and all the nicest people in Ithaca seem to work here! It's unpretentious without sacrificing any quality.
This is one confused restaurant. The name, decor, margarita signs, and complementary chips and salsa lead you to believe this is a Mexican restaurant. And yet the majority of the menu is Italian or American. Nothing was seasoned properly, not the rice or pasta. The pasta was bland and missing basics like garlic and salt. The margarita that there's signs all over for was undrinkable. And it took an hour and a quarter to serve four simple meals on a mildly busy evening. The service was fine and the ambiance was fine. The crab cake tacos and cucumber mojitos were actually pretty good. But they need to pick a concept and make it much better.
Place is great. Good food. But they won't let the live bands playing as loud as they need to to perform correctly. They kept embarrassingly asking Vicky V who's really well known and the most amazing drummer I've ever seen to lower the volume.l over and over again. I was really embarrassed for them!
Very comfortable and beautiful place for dinner. Our server Eric was very polite and checked up on us often. The complementary chips and homemade salsa was excellent and before 2 of us where able finish the appetizer our meal was delivered fresh and exactly as we had ordered it. Strongly recommend visiting if you haven't already!
