   The first hostess was very friendly and accommodating. I got there 1/2 an hour earlier than my reservation, and while I offered to wait at the bar, they were willing to seat me at the table. I waited for my friend who was scheduled to arrive on time. The waitstaff hovered over me while I waited, making me feel uncomfortable. There were numerous empty tables around me and no one was waiting for a table so there was no reason to rush or hover. Food arrived quickly as it was brunch, but they uncomfortably hovered over our table while we ate. My friend wasn’t done with her meal and they offered to take her plate. She decided to let them take it, and they quickly handed us the bill. They gave us no time to chat, even though their website clearly states, you have the table for two hours. An hour and 10 minutes after our reservation time and less than 2 hours after I sat down we were asked to leave the table by another hostess. Again many empty tables and no one waiting to get a table. They made sure to add a 20% tip and the bill is a bit misleading. My friend almost left an additional tip. I told her not to as I found that they were rude, cold and unworthy of it. I would not recommend this place, nor will I return.

   We were a group of 12 for a Saturday night res. When we walked in it seemed our table had been already given to another party, AnneMarie (the manager/owner) was SO nice and accommodating. She first gave us a pitcher while we waited for the inconvenience but then moved around a few seated people who were also happy to help. She made our group feel so attended to and nice - rare in NY on such a busy night to keep an amazing attitude. Was pleased, we all got margaritas and food was good.

   We were seated almost 45 minutes after our reservation time. The manager gave us complimentary chips and guacamole as well as drinks as an apology. She was also very attentive to our group once we were seated.

   The bottomless brunch is so worth it!! A good price and they make sure to keep the drinks flowing! The food is alright… the eggs benedict was cold and the huevos rancheros was not huevos rancheros (more like eggs and beans). Overall, I would come here again because again the drinks are awesome!

    Before we sat they stressed the time limit because my whole party wasn’t there yet, which I found rude at first. Like can we sit and eat first. But they didn’t rush us so that was good. The food is not amazing, one friend complained of a portion of her meal not being cooked thoroughly and another said the food wasn’t the best but with a unlimited brunch and friends it’s always a great time. My second time going but I probably won’t be going back.

    Music is blasting way too loud. Perhaps it’s the management thinking that’d attract customers but it was actually deafening we couldn’t hear one another!! Table of 12 people left to another place which had better ambience for conversations :)

    My wife and I were in town and decided to try to “bottomless brunch”. The food was good, and they were technically serving “bottomless brunch” but it seemed that while our food came out rather quickly (and was good), it suddenly became hard to find our server when we wanted a drink refill.

    When we first walked in the service was just alright. Our reservation was at 2:30 pm and we didn’t get sat until 3:30. While waiting at the bar, we asked if we could start our 90 minutes bottomless while we waited and t continue at the table. The response was no and we would have to pay twice: once at the bar and once at the table for bottomless. So instead we sat by the bar for an hour and just waited. Once we were seated the food was amazing and our waiter was friendly. However, there are mainly places in NYC just as delicious with better accommodations.

    I think they might be closing soon. On New Year’s Day, when they were booked solid for brunch, THEY HAD NO COFFEE. Server said the machine was broken. Then we ordered a few diet cokes and we’re still not sure what they gave us. After telling us they had no iced tea, my “Diet Coke” tasted more like iced tea. We were credited for the drinks. The food was delicious, by all accounts, and the servers were doing really well considering all the bad news they had to deliver to their tables. I hope prospective employers will take that into account after Agave closes.

    The food and service was great. But, we had to wait 45 minutes after our allotted reservation time. The host seemed super understaffed and we’re running around and hard to communicate with. Overall great experience once we sat down but before we sat down it was a little chaotic.

    The restaurant itself was nice and chill, good music. Went for Brunch, food was so/so. For the table we order nachos with chicken, traditional guacamole and calamari. Nachos was bland, with small pieces of chicken. Calamari had way too much pepper. Guacamole was pretty good. Entrees order steak and eggs. Steak was a very small cut, needed more seasoning, but was cooked decent (medium), not worth $24. Margaritas tasted like spiked lemonade. Overall ok experience.

    Food was very good and service was pretty good for a busy time, but the noise was so loud you could hardly converse. If you were to turn the music down, people wouldn’t need to speak so loudly, which would lower the overall noise level.

    We had a very pleasant, low-maintenance experience at Agave. The food was fantastic and the service was attentive. One of the taco dishes we ordered was incorrectly filled - fish rather than shrimp - but the staff recognised the mistake and brought out the shrimp tacos, while comping us the fish. A great solution to a minor error, and very communicative throughout.

    The issue was that we arrived 5 minutes before 1 which was our reservation time. The table was not ready for another 40 minutes and the remedy was 1 shot per person which missed the time value of money by a long shot. I would recommend having a bigger investment in table management in order to have a happier clientele. With that being said, around the 1.5 hour mark, we asked for a refill of our pitchers but we were told our time was 15 minutes before it was up and couldn’t get full pitchers which is ridiculous since we had that time and waited 45+ minutes. I asked for a meal with no tomatoes but it came fully loaded with tomatoes which luckily I’m not allergic or it could have been catastrophic if i was allergic. After picking through 35 tomato chunks, we ordered 2 iced americanos and received 3 normal hot coffees which was far from an iced americano. We had to wait around 15-20 minutes in order to get 2 cups of only ice so that we could pour the hot coffee and salvage the drink. I would give this a 2.5-3 given the egregious circumstances.
