   Always a great dinner at Javier’s. My favorite is the Arrechera. Ask for a side of corn tortillas. It won’t disappoint.

   The interior is lovely and the vibe is good. However, our reservation was for 7pm and our table wasn't ready until 7:45. The food was good but not worth the money at all. The surf and turf was $90 and came with steamed white rice... Would definitely go back for drinks at the bar but dinner wasn't worth the wait or price.

   Overall a very good experience. The good part 1. Ambience 2. Food 3. Service Needs improvement 1. Reservations and wait time The restaurant requires 2hr limit per table however since it is not enforced so the whole reservations gets messed up. We waited almost 30 mins for our table however once we had the table everything went smooth

   Our reservation (4 ppl) was for 6:30. They seated us at 7:22pm. We didn’t expect a nearly hour-long wait *with* a reservation, but the food and ambiance were nice.

   Overall good dinner but was expecting a little more. A little disappointed because we had a 6:30 reservation to celebrate a birthday but didn't get seated til almost 7:15 and that was after we complained. Felt like complete chaos around the checkin counter. Too many people and very crowded. Finally got seated at a high top table. We needed to remind our server that it was a birthday dinner because she didn't bring out a candle...and there was no compted dessert. But, food was good and it is beautiful restaurant.

   Food was just above room temperature. The cheese in my enchilada wasn’t even melted. Everyone in our party said their food wasn’t hot.

   Good was great. Service was great. Clients weee too loud and the ambiance feels like a club with sleazy dress women. Not a classy patrons. Very surprised by this.

    Food was great. There was one item we ordered, and it wasn’t was any of us expected. None of us ate it and kindly asked the server to remove it. She told us she would have to “ask management”. During our meal, the bus-staff dropped a tray of dirty plates near our table. We were splattered with ranch from the dirty plates. It was in my hair, all over our clothes, table, and booth. The bus boy was made aware of this, but tended to his tray mess, which we understood. We cleaned our space up ourselves. No one came over to apologize, or replace our drinks that now had ranch in them. I finally made my server aware of what had happened at the end out our meal, and she brushed it off like it was no big deal, and handed me the bill. Not sure I would return to this establishment based on this experience.
