We just had dinner there last night. Everything we ordered was cooked perfectly. We had empanadas to start...the salmon dish, the Bacaldo & even coconut flan for dessert. All with a wonderful blend of flavors. Highly recommend. read more

The hot, new restaurant in downtown Prescott. It is at street level in the Bashford Court building. Our group enjoyed our meal. We started with the Jicama Salad, which was light and refreshing. For the entree, I had the Salmon, my friend ordered the Flat Iron Steak, and both guys ordered the Seafood Paella. Service was friendly and efficient. The atmosphere there is swanky and upscale. We had a nice time, delicious food, and will return soon. read more

Much like the owners' flagship restaurant on the downtown Prescott square, The Copper Note, Modern Agave has an attentive, timely, knowledgeable, friendly, and even choreographed staff. Again, similar to The Copper Note, Modern Agave also possesses a richly appointed and warmly inviting decor; the pièces de résistance are the olive colored velvet booths... inviting the diner to settle in and enjoy a luxurious culinary experience over pleasant conversation. Last weekend our family felt eager for a great dining experience; since the ambiance telegraphs quality, we were unconcerned with the $50 price points on menu. We began our dining adventure with delicious mixed drinks. Our calamari appetizers were cooked perfectly and presented with flair alongside arugula garnishes and slices of dried blood oranges. After a superb introduction, it pains me to say that the entrees fell far short of what the restaurant seems to offer. The ceviche was as one would expect, thankfully, but the chicken tacos were served with flimsy corn tortillas that lacked a true and distinctive Mexican masa flavor-- these were the kinds of tortillas you might expect to buy off the shelf at your local supermarket. The pollo seasonings were indistinct and though a smokey adobo / chipotle mayonnaise or hatch green chile salsa or chopped jalapeño "pickle" could have added layers of flavor, they were absent. The flat iron steak was served with a delicious sweet potato mash and it was the saving grace of the meal as the flat iron steak, though prepared medium-rare as requested, also lacked seasoning -- an overnight marination or even just a tad more of a salt rub would have elevated this dish. Unfortunately, the flat-iron steak was also served with an overly oily chimichurri sauce (it should be more heavily herbaceous and lighter on the oil) and suffered the same tortillas as the chicken taco dish. It was the paella, though, that was most disappointing-- so much so that we actually felt insulted. The dish was more of a soupy rice-bowl than an actual paella; one expects a true paella to be prepared in a paella pan which imbues the dish with its distinctive crispy edges and separated rice grains. It was intolerable at *any* price point. We were relieved that the churros and Crema Catalana cleansed our palate sublimely. The warm churro was appropriately crisp on the outside and warmly-soft on the inside while amply dipped in sugar and Mexican cinnamon. The Crema Catalana held a perfect balance of cinnamon and citrus elements enhanced by its silky texture. Regarding the above critiques, some might find most of them trivial. Had we paid $150 for our total meal, I probably would have let the whole affair go and not mentioned anything here on Yelp and would have just decided to never return. But our family paid well over $300 and for that price point I would expect everything, especially the entree menu items, to be absolutely perfect and delicious in varieties and layers of temperatures, textures, and complimentary flavors. Modern Agave (and The Copper Note for that matter) has the right idea and the right dream, but it lacks full execution. I recommend that Modern Agave invest in a Master Chef to develop their recipes, menus, and to conduct trainings for their chefs and sous chefs. Until that happens, our family will only patronize Modern Agave as a cozy place for drinks, appetizers, and deserts. read more

The food was excellent. We had the mushroom posole soup. We had the yucca fries. We had the chicken empanadas. It was a late lunch and it was perfectly cooked as well as serve quick and hot. Yucca fries I would recommend the mayo lemon aïoli. The service was great only a short wait without having a reservation today at lunch. Very busy and bustling, which is a good sign for a new restaurant here in Prescott. I would recommend going I have no reservations to recommend this restaurant. read more

Such a wonderful experience tonight! Fresh and flavorful, none of the dishes we ordered disappointed. The chicken tortilla soup is fantastic. The jerk chicken, Ropa Vieja and guacamole with pomegranate were excellent. And yes, order the churros!! We already made a reservation to go back. Beautiful interiors. Can't wait for the tapas bar to open! read more

This restaurant seemed upper end as we walked in but the price wasn't reflective of that. It was so nice and the ambiance was perfect and beautiful. It was really good and different for Prescott. We didn't eat a steak or anything like that but the empanada's, tortilla soup and pozole ware the best we've had in a long time from anywhere. The star of the night besides the staff were the empanadas. Texture was perfect and the flavor was delicious. They took time to make sure they serviced us for the wonderful drinks we had. Staff from the seater to the manager addressed us appropriately and as we were family. So nice for Prescott to have an upscale place without a large bill. read more

Absolutely fantastic It is great to see some of the Copper Note team members in the additional space . Attentive and cheerful. Again , as in Copper Note, the quality and creativity of the food is impressive. Atmosphere did not disappoint either . Sophisticated lunch , comfortable, and satisfying. read more

Service was great and atmosphere is good also . Now to the food , I am Hispanic born and raised in the Caribbean and I have to say the dishes are very mediocre and very overpriced . This is a restaurant design for the American taste bud . This suffers from what happens to most restaurants in Prescott , the flavors are tone down to satisfy the population here which is not use to actual ethnic dishes . I'm sure they will be successful with the the American population , but if you are actually Latin American you will be very disappointed . read more

A beautiful space with friendly, efficient service. And the food ... Picadillo like my Puerto Rican grandmother made! Be sure to try the Tostones with guacamole. It is so nice to have a Latin restaurant in Prescott. Kudos to the entire Modern Agave team! read more

I lived in South America for 12 years of my life and I'm so excited to have this restaurant here! It was absolutely amazing. Best service we've had in many years locally. We will definitely be back. read more

Nice atmosphere and great service. A little pricey for Prescott. I had the paella, which was very good. The calamari was deep fried though and I've never seen that in paella before and prefer it either boiled or grilled. read more

Absolutely one of the best meals that I've had in Prescott, if not the best. Service was absolutely top tier. Food was unique and vibrant and fresh and delicious. Dining room very modern but also warm and comfortable. So lovely to sit in a booth and have a great meal while people watching Courthouse Square. Truly a wonderful dining experience. read more

What a great experience last night. The staff were attentive, the ambience was great and most importantly the food was spot on. I would definitely come back because there were so many things I wanted to try! Best of luck to you guys!! read more

The restaurant had a makeover and is much brighter and modern looking. They have some moderate priced dishes, in the mid 20's, and others in the 40's. Had the fish and chips and it was wonderful, along with the pomegranate guacomole, also very good. Will be going back for sure read more

From the moment we walked into the restaurant, we were treated with excellent service. The service staff was very attentive, and we never had an empty water on our table. We started off the meal with an appetizer of guacamole and nachos. The guacamole was mixed with pomegranate and was unbelievable. The three the two sauces that we were given were excellent a red sauce and a green sauce. Both were very good. Our main course was fish tacos and mine was the empanadas chicken and cheese. Both dishes were excellent our server Ryan was fantastic and was very attentive to what we needed and as I said before, the rest of the staff were amazing. Can't wait to return and try the steak empanadas which were technically on the menu, but Ryan stated that it's one of his favorite dishes. Will be back soon and bring friends. read more
