We were looking for a place to have a quick dinner and did not feel like venturing out. It was also taco Tuesday and the prospect of reduced price tacos and margaritas was tempting. There is a nice bar along with high top tables and traditional tables. The dining room was very bright, and we opted to sit at the bar. We were taken care of by Kevin who did an admirable job of managing a busy bar. Kevin‘s advice was helpful as we were going to order the happy hour tacos, but he pointed out that they were just not as good as the ones on the menu although they were cheaper. For the second time today I had tacos companion, and I split the shrimp tacos and the grilled mahi tacos. The tacos were on double wheat tortillas and had a nice selection of veggies as well as pineapple in them. An aioli was served on the side along with salsa Verde. The margarita was happy and priced at $12 and was a pint glass. Well-made. Overall, a lovely experience and worth another visit. Besides tacos, flatbreads and the like they do have a couple of more substantial entrées on the menu, such as pasta, salmon, short ribs, and skirt steak.

We stayed at the wonderful Marriott Desert Willows Villas. The first night we were tired from traveling, so we headed to the Agave Grill after checking in. It wasn’t busy; it was early. Large windows open to the lovely resort. I’m sorry, but I can’t remember what any of us had to eat! But we were all very happy. Drinks were good; I had some drink special they offered that night. Good service, nice ambiance. It was exactly what we were looking for!

We are staying at the Westin and decided we wanted to celebrate New Year's Eve close by, so we went to Agave Grill and Bar. For $65 a head you got an appetizer, entree, and dessert. I started with a fresh and tasty beet carpacio that had candied walnuts, goat cheese, micro greens, and cherry tomatoes on thin slices of beets. The dressing on this was delicious. My husband chose lobster bisque for his starter and loved it. The lobster was plentiful. We enjoyed the fillet mignon and tiger shrimp entree with garlic mashed potatoes, colorful mixed carrots and squash, and a yummy sauce. Our server was Paloma and she is so friendly and helpful. She made the meal lovely. On her recommendation, we chose the tres leches cake for dessert. Wow! I've never seen tres leches prepared or presented as this was and it tasted as good as it looked. We didn't have the highest expectations coming into Agave, but everything was top notch. All of the food was plentiful, delicious, and beautifully plated. The chef and their team know what they are doing. Give this place a try! We will be back!

Every time I'm in Palm Desert, I make sure to swing by Agave Grill & Bar. The atmosphere is so cozy, and the food is always on point. Seriously, their guacamole is like a little slice of avocado paradise!

The service was excellent and the food was good. They had live music which was a real treat. The two entertainers were very good. It made for a great evening.
The service was so slow. It took at least 20 minutes to even be acknowledged. Then once I ordered everything still took forever. I wouldn't recommend.

We ate at Agave several nights during our stay. The food was very good and the service was fantastic. Kevin, the bartender was awesome! The restaurant opened at 4 pm nightly. They had specials in addition to their regular menu.

Atmosphere, servers and food were great! The setting was somewhat cramped, but overall this is a good place to grab a bite and and a drink while relaxing at a table or at the bar and watching sports. When I came in with my party, the bartender, Jeremiah, promptly gave us the option of moving to the bar after a group that included children came in and sat down right next to us.

Ate here while staying at the Westin Desert Willow resort. I had the black and blue burger which was delicious! My friend didn't care for her choice (a flatbread with prosciutto and arugula), but she's an extremely picky eater and liked very few of her choices anywhere we ate :-).
