 Overlooking the stone wall that surrounds Atlanta's legendary Oakland Cemetery, Agave evokes the spirit of the Southwest with R.C. Gorman art scattered throughout, pottery, folk crosses, and the sand-inspired color palette of that region. Chef-owner Jack Sobel adapts traditional regional dishes such as a deeply seasoned, hominy-laden posole, made daily; and a New Mexico green chili stew. We enjoy the flavors in the fried chicken and meatloaf, the collards cooked with honey and apple cider, and the first-rate bean dishes. As the restaurant has evolved, fish and seafood have become impressive, but the preparations will change, while always nodding toward the Southwest in their nuances. The classic flan needs none of the adornments that usually accompany it. Start a meal here with the Gruet Brut from New Mexico, to get into the spirit. The wine list is sensitive to the menu, and there's a huge list of tequilas for those who seek them.
