Nice vibe, better than the Vegas location as it was much quieter and we could talk. Special salad was really good as are the chips and salsa. Steak fajitas were excellent. Good service and had a good time.

Javier’s never disappoints with really good food and a beautiful setting. Our waiter was excellent. Prices are creeping up but still a decent value.

The food and wait staff service were excellent once seated. Unfortunately the poor treatment and attitude received from the ill-mannered, low class hopchie mama hostesses was so abysmal we were so turned off that it spoiled the entire experience for us. We had a reservation for 7:00 and were not seated until 7:40 even thought they seated 4 or 5 parties before us. We were clad in Lilly Pulitzer and Peter Millar and our youngest were clad in lululemon - not the apparent dress code of all black, tattoos and mid-drifts and were treated with disdain by their constant dirty looks. We would have left but as we had travelled all day from Dallaa we were too tired to try and find another option. We will never set foot in there again.

We had a fantastic experience at Javier’s. The food was amazing, the ambiance exciting and vibrant. The servers were excellent. My food came quickly and it was so yummy. It’s pretty loud there, so having an in depth convo probably isn’t going to happen, but that’s ok…you can do that later when you leave! It’s a fun place to eat and hang out.

Awesome ambience and altogether beautiful restaurant and drinks! If I could change one thing, it would be avoid trying to stay with the “lower priced” food items unless you’re okay with paying the price for small portion sizes. Everything’s pretty pricey so I would just be prepared to spend on the higher priced items for a larger/regular portions of food that will actually fill you up. I got the soft tacos, I’ll say for the $32 It was two small street tacos and a small portion of rice and beans was not worth it. Though pricier, next time I would definitely try going for the 12 ounce bone in ribeye. It would’ve probably been more filling with the sides included.
