All of the tapas we ordered was excellent!!! The chef’s charcuterie board- phenomenal. We had both cold octopus salad & grilled octopus over corn puree!!!! Both were outstanding! The steak with mushroom foam!!! I will dream about this dish. Tuna tartare & squash soup are so so yummy! Our server, Christina, so sweet & fantastic! Drinks were great. I gave a lower score on ambience due to the fact their HVAC as malfunctioning & it was cold in the restaurant. Definitely returning for more!!!

Great food and service. Anya was amazing . She was knowledgeable of the food and drinks. When one of our cocktails wasn’t to our liking, she took it back to the bartender and had him recreate. We were well taken care of all evening. Steaks cooked to order and delicious. Melted like butter. We split the asparagus and mashed potatoes. Both great options. The restaurant vibe was nice, decorated for Christmas. Seating was a little tight on a 2 top and in close proximity to other tables but we made it work . Food was on the pricey side as it was ala carte. Reservations on a Sat night a must.

I love everything about Agora - the food is creative and makes me want to travel. The drinks are a play on the classics and new inventions. The service is always attentive and doesn’t turn up their nose when guests express their allergies and ask for advice on dishes. It’s such a warm vibe with eclectic guests from around the world and around the city. I only wish they were open til midnight but I understand good cooks and servers deserve a break if they’re going to keep up their energy and deliver delightful experiences. Thanks Agora team!
