Outstanding. Delicious shared dishes. The signature dish-lamb skewer & spiced lavash-was so delicious, cooked perfectly, not overcooked at all. The sautéed shrimp was excellent with a tomato & black olive garlic sauce, super fresh & bright. Lamb mozz flatbread-I lovvvvved that they didn't skimp on the mozz! Again the lamb was perfectly cooked and not dry. And the lovely ottoman rice with apricots, holy moly. So good, lovely balance of the subtle fruit flavor & spices in the rice. Definitely a must have. I got the savory cocktail (interesting right?), and it definitely was not sweet, however it was a really nice change to the typical cocktails. Very thyme-y, with a lovely balance of the fig infused vodka, honey thyme syrup & lemon. The honey made it balanced without being sweet. I recommend trying it, just for fun. Our server started by asking if we had any food allergies, which gave me confidence that they pay attention to details and care a lot. He gave us excellent descriptions of the dishes so we could choose well, and we were not disappointed!! It was kind of loud inside after the room started filling up, so just FYI. I thought good prices for what we got. Would totally go back!

I'm from the Bay Area and I've never experienced the concept of unlimited Mediterranean brunch until Agora. Agora has set a great example. We went for the bottomless mimosas brunch option for ~$50 per person. It was very much worth it, would have been more worth it with some more people. I'd say 4-6 people is a great number to enjoy this with. You get started with a platter of various dips and accompanying bread. You can keep asking for refills. You really get to try a lot of things which is something you can't do when you're going a la carte. After that, you can order from a pre fixe menu of mostly Benedicts, flatbreads and some breakfast items like French toast. Mimosas keep magically refilling and coffee is fresh and very much needed to keep up. I would recommend getting seated indoors during a warm day since the outdoors patio fan system isn't too effective.

I can't waitttttt to return to Agora. Initially, we had Adonis as a server - he was sooooo rude and genuinely unkind. However, when we alerted the manager, the situation was immediately handled and we had Leo (I think?). He was fantastic and so was our experience. We came for brunch on Saturday at 1:30 p.m. we made a reservation online. HIGHLY recommend if you're going for brunch. It was busy but we were seated immediately. I had no idea what to expect but once we sat down, the food pretty much started coming out. The only options you really choose are the eggs, extras, and drinks. The starters, flatbreads, etc. are brought out automatically. One thing I will say is that the Prosecco upgrade is worth it, especially considering how warm the mimosas get. But listen... our experience was wonderful. And the all-you-can-eat food was incredible. The eggs Benedict with salmon, Turkish beef sausage, and everything with lamb was incredible. Everything else was really good. All the spreads and dips at the beginning were bussin, with the exception of the hummus. Brunch is $55 per person - all you can eat and drink (mimosas or bloody marys). Prosecco is $20 more. Enjoyyyyy. Parking was easy AF, too!
