Agave Grill & Bar

Jeremiah is the best. Jeremiah remembered us from last year, and is the epitome of service. He’s personal, he connects, and goes to the extreme to provide an incredible experience. Kevin is awesome as well, he’s all over anything and everything. He always has a great drink or food suggestion. Special shout to out to Enrique too.

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 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.

Awesome time at this resort, the bar tender Kevin was awesome, really hospitable.

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!

I visited this beautiful club, that include timeshares, for a Birthday Luncheon in the Agave dining area. The views were incredible, clear view of the mountains, Palm Trees are all over this property, the swimming pools..guest services, the employees are very discrete when you wish to order..and service. The guest services are pretty much intune with your requests and needs. Our party of 5 chose to side away from the center, choosing a corner table. Our serving employee gave us, as we requested, plenty of time to visit, decide on our choice for lunch etc...at this time, I would like to add that they make their own potatoe chips! Incredible! Sooo very good, crispy, thin, if they were salted, I did not taste it. Just soo good! I am a hamburger girl and ice tea..so I ordered. Absolutely no regrets at all! We relaxed enjoying the ambiance of everything in the outside world. Our server brought a slice of cake to share, I brought a good sized Choclate Cake, candles...etc..again, we took our time, sharing a delicious lunch, delightful taking our time, Sharing a wonderful luncheon with our group. We left feeling we had eaten just enough, smiles on our faces and vowing to return again after the holidays. A great time by each of us.

Delicious food! Outstanding customer service! And the water was so cold fresh and tasty! I'm not joking Order a glass of water it's amazing!

Agave is a hidden gem. Kevin is an absolute professional and it’s nice to get such good service and quality food in the valley. The drinks are some of the best we’ve had, and we drive from LaQuinta just for the raspberry lemon drop. It’s so good! This place is worth a visit and Kevin will take care of you, it’s a local treasure with seriously good food and fantastic service. Stop in!!

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.

What a joke......I'm used to the online menu not representing what a restaurant has on offer .....but major false advertising here. Service on the other hand is very friendly and apologetic - though the out of date website is not their fault.

Overpriced and not super kid friendly as I'd expect or hope a resort restaurant to be. No kids at the (empty) bar in the early evening and salad on the kids menu. Hmmmm...Pizza for kid arrives 20 minutes after the adult's food. Not fun for parents.

Ordered a shrimp basket with fries and a chicken sandwich with veggie sticks ($3 extra). Shrimp was ok, fries cold. Chicken looked like it wasn't fully cooked and only filled half the bun. Veggie stick? LOL...pretty pathetic and looked like the cucumber sticks had been frozen. Very disappointing for $100 meal for 2. Cocktails were nice and strong though.

Very disappointing. For a Westin brand name resort, this restaurant was more like a very casual café probably better suited for poolside eating rather than a steak dinner. It was a barbecue night and I love barbecue so thought this would be a fitting outing. I had the skirt steak and my partner had a bbq pork sandwich. Both were served with french fries which we traded for mashed potatoes and vegetables. The server told us there would be a two dollar up charge while we noticed the table next door got the exchange without an extra charge. The food was mediocre and service average.

For the unsophisticated palette it's fine. But at a high end timeshare/resort, this kind of caliber restaurant is just laughable. Some dishes are prepared and frozen ahead for reheat...

Food was good, service was the worst I've experienced in any restaurant. I had to get up from the table to find someone that would give me the bill and let me pay. The server was completely inattentive - and the place wasn't even busy. Definitely will not be coming back.
