   We were branching for 5 family members before the AFI movies. Everyone enjoyed their meals and coffee and cocktails. It’s a hard group to please sometimes but we were all happy, happy! Service was great as was the food.

   Pros: the food was mostly good, and the menu had good options. Cons: our service was awful (slow, and the apps all came out with the entrees), my chicken was overcooked, and the mashed potatoes were cold.

   The food was fine, not exceptional, but good for brunch. We were looking for a place for a large group that was convenient for kids and it worked very well. We enjoyed ourselves.

   Their prime rib was divine. The entire Thanksgiving meal was excellent value, and the service terrific.

   It’s a great place for adults. The decor is beautiful and the ambiance is relaxing. You can have a conversation without competing with loud music.

   Seriously, do yourself a favor and check out Java! I've been there a bunch of times at different hours, and it never fails to impress. Their brunch is a must-try, with a fantastic variety of options, especially when paired with a specialty coffee. Lately, I’ve been obsessed with the pour-over from Costa Rica. As someone who’s a bit picky about coffee, I often struggle to find places that serve extraordinary brews, but I finally found one here! I love their grab-and-go concept for those days when I'm short on time but craving good coffee it's super convenient and totally hits the spot when I'm in a rush. When the evening rolls around, the vibe shifts to something even more elegant, complete with a totally different menu. The dishes are seriously well-crafted and come with an awesome variety. I don’t drink a lot, but when I do, I like it to be something special. The espresso martini and the margarita flight are definitely my top picks! And let me tell you about the service it’s top-notch! Last time I went there with some close friends, as soon as we walked in, we were seated at the table we reserved, and our server, Tim, was always a step ahead of us. I really appreciate that! He was super friendly and efficient, making it easy to order because he really knows how to read your tastes and recommend something great.

    As the owner of Java Nation, I might be a bit biased, but I genuinely believe our dinner experience offers something special. Last night, I had the chance to sit down and enjoy the meal just like any other guest, and I was reminded of why I love what we do here. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the food? I couldn’t have been prouder. Our team worked hard to perfect dishes like the branzino, linguine and house-made desserts, and it really showed. The service was friendly and attentive, which is always our goal. Of course, there’s always room to grow, and we’re constantly listening to feedback. But I left dinner feeling really good about the care we put into every part of the experience. If you’re in the area, I’d love for you to stop by and see for yourself what makes Java Nation feel like home.
