"Extremely disappointing. The miso “soup” tasted like toilet water or leftover dish water. The California roll with crab tasted horrible. Didn’t love the albacore either but not terrible just not good. The salmon nigiri was the only good item. Staff was nice and they’re great about calling when the orders are ready for take out. I don’t think it was a coincidence that I was very sick GI after eating this meal. Wouldn’t return nor recommend."

"We ordered through the Los Agaves website for delivery by Doordash. The food was hot, fresh and excellent. The Doordash delivery was faster than we expected. We had leftovers the next day that were just as tasty! Highly recommended!"

"Excellent food and wine!! Great service! We sat outside and it was a fun environment! The owner is on site at all times keeping close eye on the service and customer satisfaction. Note: if you don’t like Raw Scallops, don’t order it as an appetizer. It comes with 3 big scallops and one of them is raw. My favorites: the french onion soup and the cheese tart!!"

"The location of Scarlet Begonia reminded us of cozy little restaurants we have stumbled on in Italy. Like its Italian counterparts, Scarlet Begonia has a warm ambience, a creative, delicious menu selection and charming informed wait staff. We had a delightful, scrumptious meal."
