    I cannot rave enough about the food. I’ve been here a few times and the flavor never disappoints. The service was great, the staff are friendly and the ambiance and atmosphere is beautiful. We hold our company Christmas dinner here every year and will continue to do so.

    We were there for a birthday. My waiter did not ask about the birthday. The waiter did not check on us during appetizer or lunch. However, we noticed check-ins with other guest. At other Javier's they place leftovers in boxes, we had to do it ourselves.

    Jose, our server was a class act. It was way too loud to have a decent conversation. The food was outstanding. The best plate is a $50 appetizer. It has a little bit of everything. All their martinis should be Belvedere or vodka or better if they’re gonna charge more than $20. Happy holidays.
