Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Javier's Crystal Cove dazzles with "gorgeous design and views" and a "beautiful location." Guests rave about its "fabulous food" and "exceptional service." Though prices are higher post-renovation, the atmosphere and stunning sunsets make it a popular spot. Ideal for special occasions, yet expect a lively, bustling environment.

    Beautiful restaurant! Asked for an ocean view, got it. (This was a lunch reservation.) Reservation was for 6 but we had 7 - not a problem for them. Food was delicious - not too pretentious, not ordinary. Service was excellent.

    Margaritas tasted like they were out of a jug from Costco. Chips tasted stale. The food was fair, not worth the price. The renovation design felt like eating in a cafeteria, loud and overcrowded with people and tables. I had to yell to talk. Waiters seemed rushed and overwhelmed even on a Monday night! Very disappointed.

    We made reservations for our anniversary. Upon arrival, seated and then we kept waiting. A manager took our drink order 25 minutes after seated “she’ll find out who our waiter is”. After 10 more minutes of waiting still no waiter or drinks. After 35 minutes of waiting we left. As we’re leaving the manager shows up with drinks, too late! Used to be a customer & love their food. Never again!

    This restaurant is indeed over priced. My review won’t matter because it the “hot spot” in Newport for want to be seens. It was packed, loud, a mad house and I won’t ever return.
