I walked in and a staff member looked at me and continued with whatever he was doing in the kitchen area which is right to the right of where you walk in. I moved closer to the cash register and this staff member and I said "Table for 1 please". Then, he grabbed a menu and seated me. I would say the restaurant was 25% occupied. There seemed to be three staff members: One cooking, the guy who seated me, and then a lady taking orders and checking on people. I sat there and sat there watching others get seated, their orders taken, and then others receiving their food. Finally I walked up to the lady who was standing near the cash register and I said, "I've never been here so I don't know how this works so do I come up here and put in my order?". She said "Oh are you ready?". I put my order in and sat back down at my table. Shortly afterwards, my drunken noodles order came out and it was delicious. This review got two stars because the food was good. The service was terrible. I think maybe the lady checked on me once during my meal? I don't know why I got this treatment and maybe it was because I was a solo traveler but I have never been treated like this before even though I have solo traveled for years. I usually always leave a good tip too as a solo traveler but to be completely ignored was not good service. I even had to go up to the cash register to ask for my check when I saw the check being delivered to other tables. Great food but if you want the whole pleasant dining experience, skip Sawaddee and find a different Thai restaurant.

My co-workers and I were in town for work and were thoroughly impress at how fresh their sushi tasted. For starters, we had their lobster tempura, yellowtail carpaccio, Sunshine roll. and edamame. I probably would have preferred their regular tempura, but their yellowtail carpaccio was delicious. Another standout was their sunshine roll. For main entree, we each ordered a sashimi/nigiri set. Their selection of nigiri fishes were standard but good. As for dessert, we had shared their creme brulee which was perfect to end our meal.

In the rolls, the chef had an ability to pair ingredients that emphasized texture, all the while working in excellent flavors. The darru and surf and turf rolls were a highlight. The sea urchin roll was out-of-this-world, like a bite of delicious ocean. Starting with the wagyu sliders was a great contrast to the cold sushi dishes. Fatty beef, seared, with salty seasoning and pickles. Excellent! The service was struggling the night we went. They held us up at the bar 20 minutes past our reservation time. They only seated us because we gave up on waiting for an outdoor table. It then took 20 minutes to meet the server and order, and another 45 minutes to start eating. Ultimately the food exceeded the flaccid service. I will be back, but not on a night when I'm in a hurry.

We also did the drink pairing with different sake's and white wines mostly from Europe that paired well. Also got refills both spontaneous and on request. It is an experience that I doubt any other Southern Oregon can match.

On and on, the hospitality industry offers us endless types of opportunities for an evening out. I worked in fine dining long enough, so that now, I just want to feel good, which is exactly what you get at Agave. The sweetest people work here, and the mood is defined by warmth, health, and solid technique, which makes all the difference. After all, Mexican food uses the same ingredients; too often that means basic, flavorful, yet heavy food. Not at Agave. The tacos were large yet light. The empanadas were exquisite. The chips--some of the best I have had, thin and brittle on the teeth, and absolutely ungreasy. The drinks--two different types of margaritas, jamaica and sandia, were refreshing. Wow, Agave surprised us!
