   If you ask reason for visiting you would give a better experience. I stated it was my 9 year anniversary on my online reservation. When we were seated there was zero acknowledgement of why we were visiting. For an upscale Mexican restaurant a better cocktail selection is needed, no Paloma o cantarito on the menu and the bartender couldn’t even create one. Get a more knowledgeable bartender.

   Service was excellent. Very attentive server to allergies in the group. Ambience was vibrant. Had to really speak loudly at the table to overcome the noise level. Food was very good. Value was poor to fair. Hard to pay $38-42 for enchiladas.

   The food and service at Javier's is consistently on point. We’ve never had a bad experience here. The atmosphere is great, making it a perfect spot for anything from a casual date to a work party. They have tables large enough for a big group. Wonderful atmosphere with the candles and décor, which adds a romantic element if so desired. We frequent this location not only for the food and dining experience, but because of the added benefit of being able to shop either before or after a good meal.
