I had my office party arranged for 10. Definitely people arrives in different time. They did not let us sit until all parties there. 8 people were standing outside for 15min in December, in california with unexpected traffic. Finally I talked to manager who sat us but told us we only have 2h!!! For such an expensive restaurant and those many guests want to talk to each other for christmas party!!!

We went to Javier’s to celebrate our son’s graduation. The ambience was great, food was great. Service was satisfactory. We didn’t feel rushed and were able to relax and spend time with family and friends. Service could have been better, we had to wait for our food for a while, and waters were not refilled until we tracked down our waiter. But overall was good

We brought some friends from out of town and the place is spectacular! Drinks and food were great. Service was efficient but without personality and connection. We had a great time. Thank you

Food is great. Waiter was great. The hostess are not very friendly and not just this time, it happened on other occasions that we dined at Javier's. We had a reservation and had to wait outside for 15 minutes in the cold. We were given no options like the Bar. We were just told move to the left and stand there and wait.
