    Chips, salsa, and fresh guac
    Margaret T.

    Large outdoor seating area with live music on a Saturday evening around 6:30. They quickly moved us to a table farther away from the stage so we could hear our conversation with each other. They also were able to direct us to accessible parking so we didn't need to walk far. I ordered the street corn and black bean tacos, both of which were delicious. For a casual Mexican meal, I would recommend!

    Street corn shaved off

    For a quick lunch this place was decent. I had a coconut drink and I wasn't a huge fan of it. My husband had a pina colada and he loved it. I ordered the street corn shaved off and the cheese and mayo were just piled on top of the corn in a bowl. I had to dump it out and mix it. I also ordered the mahi mahi taco. The fish itself lacked flavor and it just tasted charred from the grill. The mango salsa on top was yummy though. My husband and his brother had the spicy shrimp tacos and they loved them.

    Beware!!! Terrible experience w/burnt fish and to make matters worse an unpleasant waitress. A Manager came along to try to improve the vibe but too late for that

    Cute spot in downtown Bluffton. Not a lot of seating, which we were a little skeptical about because there are only a few tables outside and just indoor bar seating. Our waitress was nice, didn't come around often but I think she was just letting our table chit chat and catch up. Our food came out very quick and it was delicious. I got a salad, which looked small when it came out, but it was super filling. Everyone else really liked their food and the best part was they have the best flavor high noon.... PEACH!

    After completing our 4.5-mile hike at the beautiful Pinckney Island National Wildlife Reserve, we took a quick drive to Bluffton. There is an area here with about 10 restaurants, most of which offer outdoor seating. We selected Agave because of the nicely shaded tables and casual vibe. It only received 3.5 stars on Yelp, but we decided to throw caution to the wind, and sat down for some basic Mexican fare. We ordered a quesadilla with chicken, a mahi-mahi taco, and a chicken taco. The tacos are on the smaller side, so they recommended ordering two tacos as a meal. We thought the mahi-mahi taco was by far the best, and it was quite good. The chicken was dry, so both the quesadilla and the chicken taco were underwhelming. I personally disliked the chicken quesadilla and would not order that again. The venue is very pleasant, it seems like this is more of a hangout than a restaurant destination. I think the Yelpers arrived at the correct conclusion, this is about a 3 to 3.5 star place.

    Great Texmex food for reasonable pricing.

    So my terrible photo should not discourage you.. Agave is the real deal .. it's not a tourist trap. Aim your vehicle off the main strip and make your way here for perfectly executed drinks and food. Inside and out, small and well appointed. Staff is accommodating (even to my wife and sister. ). Make you're way to old Bluffton and forget the Nuevo .

    Blackened mahi tacos
    Richard S.

    One sad thing about the area is a restaurants need to make things mild/without too much flavor for the old white customers. The corn, queso, and mahi tacos were great but needed the extra kick of hot sauce/jalapeños. The queso only came with 2 slices of jalapeños when it's described with jalapeños on the menu. Everything was warm, chips weren't stale. Prices are ridiculous though and aren't correct to what is on the website. Would only see myself returning if I was invited out or learned about some happy hour food option.

    Skinny margarita
    Alicia Lyn S.

    Seriously better than expected, cute little place with a big flavor! Taco salad, the appetizer shrimp with avocado, even the chips with sauce were awesome and the skinny margaritas OMG! The service was great! It was super busy but they did not skip a beat!

And service that is worth a Gold star for bringing it to the next level. We love eating upstairs but downstairs is just as nice! I'm hoping they will always be here because this is our favorite! Best chicken I have ever had... to this day. And I NEVER order chicken because it's usually dry, not at The Farm. We also LOVE THEIR MOCKTAILS!

We only had drinks at Calhoun, but they did make me a GREAT spicy margarita. It was one of the best I've had. Huge thanks to the hostess who made it happen for me. She was great!

    I've given this place so many chances bc they have live music on their cute little patio sometimes,…read morebut this last visit was the final straw. A little background: The inside usually smells awful, they need to fix the kitchen vent hoods but don't so they leave all doors open. The hostess is usually pretty curt and dismissive. Simple well liquor cocktails are priced the same as specialty. The food is disappointing to varying degrees every time. The prime rib is clearly (admittedly high quality) roast beef lunch meat. Fried chicken sandwich was dry and burned. Shrimp and grits were obviously instant grits with a bunch of kraft cheddar. Usually three strikes and you're out. But... On my last visit: a friend's band was playing and bestie wanted to go so one last shot. I ordered the whipped goat cheese and pepper jelly bc I figured it didn't need any cooking so it would be fine, and it was! But I asked for baguette instead of a corn waffle and got the latter. When I reminded her that I asked for a baguette I got an eye roll, heavy sigh, and didn't see her again until about 30 minutes later when she silently and without eye contact dropped the check on her way to another table without even breaking stride. I was going to order another drink for the end of the set! But whatever, all for the best. Thank goodness I had cash so I didn't have to wait another hour for her to run my card. Never again. Too many great options close by...where the same local bands also play.

From the moment we walked in, every member of the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. The hostess graciously worked us in, even though they were not expecting us. When I asked if we could move outside because we had an infant with us and didn't want to disturb other diners, the manager couldn't have been kinder or more accommodating. He moved our table without hesitation and made us feel like it was a pleasure--not an inconvenience. Our server, Andreas, was absolutely exceptional. His attentiveness, warmth, and genuine care elevated an already wonderful meal. By the time we left, we felt like family. The food was incredible from start to finish, but the baked ricotta appetizer deserves a special mention--I would come back just for that! Thank you to Andreas and the entire team at Joelle for your outstanding hospitality! Experiences like this are rare, and you have earned customers for life.

    Came here for date night. Our table wasn't quite ready when we arrived but we didn't mind waiting…read moreand it only took about 5 minutes. We reserved a table inside but it was very noisy so we asked our server if we could move outside instead. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. For an appetizer we got the burrata - nothing special but good. I wish there had been a couple more pieces of bread with it. For my main I got the orecchiette tre porcellini and was warned beforehand that it had a slight spice to it. It definitely did have a little kick but nothing I couldn't handle. Very tasty. For dessert we shared the tiramisu which was great. I enjoyed my first time here and would definitely consider coming back. Someone near us got a pizza that looked amazing so I'd like to try one of those next. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 doesn't even have anything to do with the restaurant itself. Once before entering the building and multiple times while we were inside, we received stares from numerous different customers. They were all admittedly uppity-looking. It felt like we had eyes on us the whole time. One woman even did a full 180 turn at the bar to glance at us (I could see the bar area from outside when the sun started going down). I'm not sure if this restaurant is frequented more by locals who aren't used to seeing outside people; I live an hour outside Bluffton. But that just kind of dampened the entire experience and made it a bit uncomfortable. We weren't doing or wearing anything to draw attention. And that may very well have been a one-off situation but still something to note.

The place captures old Southern charm with a modern artistic twist, featuring colorful paintings, minerals, and artwork. However, the music that evening didn't really match the Southern motif or aesthetics. Our waitress was courteous and helpful, answering our questions. Despite the restaurant being mostly empty, it took a while to get our order, partly because the waitress was alone, and the manager--who barely acknowledged us and was mostly on her phone--was present. When the food finally arrived, the portions were generous. I had fried fish, though I couldn't tell if it was catfish. It came with French fries, a hush puppy tasting like fried dough, coleslaw that seemed to have sat out too long and was small in portion, and fried okra with little seasoning, tasting more of flour than cornmeal breading. This was disappointing, though it might reflect "Low Country" cooking. Overall, the restaurant seemed to emphasize branding and decor over authentic history. The best South Carolina cuisine I found was near Saint Helena Island, close to some historic sites, where the food was noticeably better and the vibe felt genuine, especially in spots rich with landmarks.
