During Monday's historic snowstorm, I decided to stay close to my house in Summerlin for lunch with a good friend of mine, Raúl, a native of Mexico City. We headed for one of my favorite places: Agave. Their outdoor patio area is simply divine and it's a fantastic spot for happy hour and the Mexican restaurant's excellent guacamole.
This time around, the patio was covered in snow, which is, of course, hard to believe. Happy to be inside, we looked forward to a great meal, only to discover that Agave is poorly equipped to deal with the cold. The servers were shivering and some of them were wearing winter coats. Agave is a big, beautiful space, and it certainly takes a while to heat the place up, but this snowstorm wasn't a surprise (management: please watch the weather forecast).
While our lunch (tacos de carne asada for me and a chicken tamal for Raúl) and our Cadillac margaritas were fine as always, we were so cold we really didn't want to linger, which is a pity. Agave has great desserts and a great ambiance. Next time, please turn on the heat and we'll stay longer.
