Nice venue, great food, good value. Food took almost an hour to come out but there was a Lions & Bills game so it was busy. Would go back, would recommend!

Javier’s was everything my daughter was looking for when looking into a picturesque place to take beautiful photos as well as offer a great ambiance for her 21st Birthday!! The staff were very welcoming. The parking was a bit of a headache but it’s downtown so you can expect that. It was also an event going on at ford field. Besides that it was perfect. Not a big selection for kids so if you have picky little eaters they may not enjoy it. But great spot for a date night, Birthday dinner etc.
