    The Blue Agave has a unique look and feel, sitting in the heart of Denver. Parking was easy at the Tabor Center, and we were able to get up to the restaurant pretty easily. The food was pretty good. Service was unreasonably slow. They were not even close to full and not busy. Drinks, water, food, all took quite a while to arrive and/or get refilled. Overall, I'd go back but more likely for drinks and appetizers, and make sure I have enough time to relax.

    Absolutely horrible. Our meals were terrible. The chile relleno was nothing more than a stuffed poblano with bad cheese and a can of tomatoes. It did not even closely resemble a chile relleno. My guests meal, blackened scallops, was not fresh and too salty to eat. The guacamole was average and the chips were clearly from the bottom of the bag as they were no larger than a quarter. I do not recommend this place as it offers poor quality food at exceedingly high prices. Save your money and go somewhere else.

    The service was stellar and drinks were amazing (we had the margarita flight, which is highly recommended). The food was only okay. The salmon wontons were good, but the guacamole and shrimp were boring and a little bland. The lime chicken was not great either, but the carnitas and macaroni and cheese were good. Overall, not a terrible experience, but not somewhere we are likely to return.

    We had reservations at 5:30pm and were seated promptly. Our drink orders were delivered fairly quickly. We didn’t receive our food for almost an hour and it was lukewarm. The flavor was really good. The only reason we didn’t ask to re-heat the food was we didn’t have time to wait as we were going to show. I would give them another chance to see if maybe this was just able off day.

    The food here was outstanding with lots of great choices. We had the stuffed mushrooms and the blue corn enchiladas, which were both delicious! My friend had the plant based burrito -- wonderful! This place is having a tough time because it's right next to the 16th Street Mall construction, so they could really use some extra love...it's worth it!

    The food and service was great. It was not busy when we got there at 5:45 for the last bit of happy hour. The happy hour deals were good and made the overall experience more affordable. I mentioned that we were celebrating our 21st anniversary when making the reservation but they didn't mention it or do anything.

    Made reservations 2wks in advance and were seated at a booth at the bar! ordered the "signature" flight of margueritas and told they were all out of glasses and flight boards. ordered 2 appetizers to share and there was NO ROOM at the table to put it down, waitress tried to take the drinks to make room! Waitres literally asked every 6 minutes if we were done with anything and ready to order. Was hovering less than 2 feet the whole time. Food and drinks were mediocre but the SERVICE WAS HORRIBLE! It was NOT cheap either. Ruined a last night in Denver - so sorry I tried this nasty place!!!

    Overall the dinner was good. Our server was the bartender and she was incredibly busy. She did a great job managing her tables and the bar drinks. My scallops were overcooked and honestly not worth the $47 we paid. My husband's asada plate was large, delicious and filling. We finished with the brownie and a pineapple margarita. Both were very good! We will be back to try other things on the menu.
