First time a Javier last night with a table of 8 people. This upscale restaurant is very pretty loved the look. The food is great, I had fish tacos and my husband had filet. We enjoyed! The queso dip is awesome and my friends enjoyed the chicken and burrito’s. Drinks great too….. but the service was really bad not that the server didn’t try but she was to slow for whatever reason. The price is a little high for dinner and two drinks . Anyways I would recommend for the food but have patience with the service.

They did not have a full menu. We pre looked at the menu so was expecting to order things that were not available. They did not have multiple dressings for salads. Take it or leave it the way we serve it style menu. No flexibility for dietary restrictions. They were out of sprite. The Coca Cola tasted generic. And the icing on the cake is when ordered a filet that came with crispy potatoes and asparagus. The asparagus came out raw and the steak was somehow cold. The potatoes were blazing hot. I told the waitress that my steak was cold and asparagus raw. They took the same exact steak and put it back in the grill which made my steak I requested as medium be well done. At that point, my whole family were almost done so I just moved on. I love to give new places a chance but after that experience, I can’t say I will be in a rush to go back to this restaurant.

We visited Javier’s during opening week and we were pleasantly surprised. They have done a great job with the decor. It feels cozy and elegant. Definitely a nice date night or special occasion worthy. Very spacious and can hold lather parties. The food was seasoned well overall. The only remark on improvement would be to season the rice and beans, and to have the wait staff inform patrons of the price of upcharges. The appetizer chicken wings were perfection. The fish tacos were flavorful and hearty. The airplane chicken was seasoned really well. We’ll definitely be back and look forward to adding the Javier’s experience into our regular places to visit.

We came during their soft opening. All waitstaff were friendly and welcoming. The ambiance was nice and could definitely see this as a good date night venue. Our food came exactly how we asked it to be prepared and presentation was appetizing. Wine selections by the glass were really good and enjoyable I was excited to have some Spanish wine. We said we will come back again as it is so close to venues we visit and was a pleasant experience.
