Candles lit throughout, as well as delicate overhead lighting, help set the tone for this neo-chic restaurant/bar. No loud music blaring here, as this is an intimate setting where one orders wine and then reclines awhile in perhaps the loveseat fronting the fireplace upstairs or in cushioned private booths, while Cuban son music and other Latin rhythms lull softly in the background. Want to impress a first date? Then bring them here where understated class abounds. One block off State, Blue Agave has created a sensuous, upscale but warm ambiance that few bars will ever achieve. Amidst such simple elegance, one cannot help raise a toast to the good life of Santa Barbara. -- Wendy Arellanes
