Best Romantic Restaurants in University City/Golden Triangle

Went for a special birthday - Hector our waiter was lovely. Seating was by the window as requested. The restaurant had a special Birthday Menu congratulating the birthday celebrant. Service was relaxed but attentive. lovely wine service with a special old dessert wine. We had shared appetizers, and scallops , cod, and trout. All nicely prepared and presented.

The restaurant is gorgeous and the Food is good, we ordered family style because the portions are big. We had the caesar salad, the mussels and three pastas spicy rigatoni, one that had black truffle and one with sausage that was the one I liked best.

Everything we ordered was delish. We started with the bread and butter which is always great. We then had the bistro and celery salad, always a great choice, very tasty. The pork croquettes are delish. The swordfish, chicken,lamb and short ribs are all super delicious, the potato cakes with egg roe are awesome, the sautéed mushrooms are super tasty. Finally the cheesecake and pistacho desserts are a great finally.

This place has been a gem for the better part of 3 decades. Chef's have come and gone but it stays consistently great. Great food, outstanding service and the best wine list to value that you can find in the whole city. We had not been in a while and during dinner we had to ask ourselves why. Try it, you'll love it.

Food here at Javier’s is unmatched, hands down the best high end Mexican restaurant. Atmosphere is great with DJ music and excellent service. On of our favorite restaurants, but more on expensive side (think high end steakhouse pricing)
