My girl and I went to Agave the day after V-Day because we could not get a sitter for the actual day. We are entertainment card members and thought well it may not be a great restaurant but, we will get to used our card for a discount. I went on the website and saw they had 2 for 1 appetizers at the bar. So we did we had the Mussels (I forgot the rest of the spanish name 'cause I could pronounce it) for $10 and the Southwestern rolls for free with 2 different Margaritas. THIS WAS THE BEST DRINKS, AN D APP'S WE HAD HAD IN A VERY LONG TIME! Oh yeah and they give you complimentary blue and yellow hot chips with salsa which was the best ever! Our bartender Lisa rocked she was so helpful and just really cool to chat with. Me and my girl are a same sex couple and we felt like we had been here a billion times. Everyone was so friendly I didn't want to leave. Then we went to our reserved table and it was quaint and romantic. Our entrees were lamb chops with asparagas and smashed potatoes and I had the filet mignon medallion with haricot vert (french green beens) with homemade smashed potatoes. BOTH WERE SO FREAKING GOOD WE WERE FULL AFTER OUR DRINKS AND APP'S BUT, IT WAS SO GOOD. THEN WE HAD THE KEY LIME PIE. BOMB THIS WAS THE BEST KEY LIME PIE I THINK I EVER HAD. Also I think the most expensive think on the menu is $24 you can't go wrong. This place is no where near our home but, is so worth the trip. We are planning on going back for either my wife's birthday in 14 days or mine in almost a month. WE LOVE THIS PLACE.

Need a flavor fix? Go to the former Fulton Bag and Cotton Mill’s General Store where Agave resides—you’ll find the best southwest food in ATL. Chef- owner Jack Sobel opened this gem in 2000, fulfilling his dream to create delectable New Mexican-style foods. The central theme in all his heavenly creations is the tantalizing chile pepper. To truly master the chile, the freshest ingredients must be used. To accomplish this, Agave uses no microwaves or freezers and receives its meats and produce daily. True to its namesake, Agave has over 100 tequilas (pictured), making for some outrageous margaritas. The creators of these heavenly beverages are Lisa Metzger and Melissa Agee. These goddesses of the bar surely know how to make tequila sing. The Corzo Perfecto is a perfect blend of Corzo Super Premium Reposado, limejuice and Agave Nectar. Too awesome. The housemade chips, salsa, and freshly made guacamole helped prevent the glasses from emptying too quickly. To jump-start the journey to the Land of Enchantment, Thomas, a most knowledgeable waiter, presented Agave’s signature soups. The traditional earthy Posole with braised pulled pork, hominy, guajillo red chile, and lime honors the celebration of life. The hearty Hatch Green Chile Stew with chunks of beef tenderloin, corn, and onions was decadently spicy, but not hot. The Grilled Shrimp and Sashimi Tuna Ceviche marinated with lime, serrano peppers and a splash of cider vinegar is a seafood lover’s dream. Wrapped in rice paper, the crispy Spicy Spring Rolls consisted of a perfect blend of chopped shrimp, lump crab, Napa cabbage and, of course, Serrano peppers. The guajillo chile, limejuice and white wine sauce made the plump, delicate Guajillo Mussels so tasty. If the chile is the soul of Southwestern cooking, then Agave brings it to life. Perfectly spiced, Agave’s Famous Cayenne Fried Chicken served with poblano habanera and jalapeno jellies is otherworldly. If this dish doesn’t make your taste buds rumba, I don’t know what will. To kick it up the spice chart, the grilled Spicy Tequila Anejo Shrimp with jalapeno and cheddar grits cakes is unbelievable. For meat and potato lovers needing a little spice in their life, the ground veal, chorizo, and Hatch Green chilies meatloaf are like no other. If Elvis had the pan-seared beef tenderloin medallions in a garlic-chile tequila puree, he would brake into a chorus of “Love Me Tender.” A Southwestern twist on a key lime pie is a delight; raspberry margarita cheesecake is sinful; for chocolate lovers, Belgian Chocolate mousse and the Torta de Sabrosa; and the most different dessert ever is the Spicy Peanut Butter Pie, which lives up to its name. In addition to his outstanding, award-winning restaurant, Jack Sobel leads another life with his band, Black Swan Lane, reminiscent of Roger Waters if accompanied by Brian Eno. Jack’s food and music: good stuff all around. www.agaverestaurant.com www.myspace.com/blackswanlane
