   Great restaurant, very high end and costly but their single scoop of ice cream for a Birthday celebration is the worst ever. For as much as you pay for dinner, the birthday dessert definitely needs upgrading!

   Honestly the food was horrible, we mentioned it to the waiter and all he said was okay sorry, we ended up leaving the ceviche which I was still charged for but was truly bad. The enchiladas were the worse canned sauce and just to well done

   Busy, Fun atmosphere. Service was excellent, celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary with my wife. Only disappointment was the lobster tail that was served with the Filet was tiny, tiny, tiny. I did not expect a jumbo size tail, but it was the size of a large shrimp, just expected a little bit larger. Everything else was amazing and would definitely go back to celebrate something else.

   The hostess could not find my reservation and instead of trying to find it she dissed me and my family and acted like she didn’t care it figure it out. I then asked her if we could add one more to the party and she said but the reservation was for three? Acting as if she couldn’t do one more person, until i asked her again. I was as nice as I could be but the hostess was not kind. Everything else was great.

   It’s always a good sign when you see 70 people waiting outside the door to be seated. The restaurant itself is beautiful! The cocktails were really good. The food was great.

   We had a reservation for 9. Went to the bar as we waited for a table. They made us leave the bar as the seats were suddenly "reserved". We ordered a drink the bartender asked for ID as I was telling him what we wanted. After we presented our IDs I told him we wanted Mezcal and I was informed It was "too late" they already started our drinks. Seriously!!!! We went back and stood with our drinks only to wait another 30 minutes for our table. We were treated very poorly by the bar and hostess but the server was pleasant. To add insult to injury, they then ask if we wanted to sit at the bar!!!!

    I’ve been dining here for years, but I think I’m done. When I pulled up to the valet in a Tesla, the valet greeted me with “I hope you have the key for this, or we can’t drive it.” No hi, welcome to Javier’s. The key, which I left on the console then goes missing and the valet proceeds to berate me to my face telling me I didn’t leave it and even says “this is between you and me,” as if I was going to fight him in the playground after school. The server was nice, but very rushed and frazzled. If we didn’t answer her question in one second, she’d rush off to another table. They want you in and out ASAP. Food was fine, nothing special. Clientele has become kind of tacky with the woman at the table next to us hiking up her super short dress to show her rear for a photo. For $300 for four people, I’d much rather go elsewhere.
