They used to serve warm bread with cream cheese but got cheap and stopped. It's little things like that that get people to not come back. And yes, the prices went up. The waiter forgot to give my father his soup--BUT was apolegetic and it was free, so no biggie there. More

Went here for the first time before a concert in the DDC showroom. They had a Prime Rib special 2-$30.00 that we ordered but they said you had to be a player's club member to get the discount (If it appears too good to be true...) I went out and looked at the sign and it was in tiny print... More

We live nearby and take all our family and out of town guests there frequently. No more. The prices have risen significantly. The prime rib is inferior, tough and not always done as requested. The ribs no longer separate easily from the bone. Would never pay these higher prices for chicken! The choice of vegetables has decreased. The salad is... More

Plus: New bread is better. Tortilla soup still perfect. Skinny french fries great. Not so: Prices higher, veggies crunchier than usual, ribs higher but not as tasty. Caesar salad had no parmesan or anchovy. Sad. Usually great value and very good food. One of our favorite restaurants. Hope this visit was a fluke. More

I had dinner at the Agave on October 10, 2011, with my aunt, niece, sister and mother, whose 90th birthday we were celebrating. This was not my first visit to the Agave, and certainly won't be my last. The restaurant is located in a separate building from the Desert Diamond Casino and hotel, but it is only a short walk...

Imagine my surprise when I visited Agave last week! A new menu with new prices! This is not a good thing. Everything is at least 50% higher than in the spring. $27 chicken breast? $33 steaks? $11 Agave salad? What are they thinking? These are Tucson upper crust prices and Agave is certainly at that level. Too bad. Maybe someone... More

This is a casino restaurant but you can not tell from the food. The food aspires to be a step above and it is. This is not institutional food. It is thoughtfully prepared and well presented. Seating is comfortable and far enough apart that you don't feel you have befriend the neighbors. I used their on-line reservation system and was... More

We live 15 minutes from Agave and eat here often. Both lunches and dinners are very good. The prices are very fair and the service friendly. I believe they do a better job for small groups (up to four) than large ones. The only complaint I have heard over the years is the quality of their steaks. The fish and... More

We have eaten here several times and have had great meals at reasonable prices. You can come away with a bottle of wine and 2 dinners for about $50. It's not gourmet, but adequate, and our service was wonderful both times, I guess it depends on the waitress. We ordered the Almond Encrusted Orange Roughy and Chicken Schnitzel - both... More
