We were there for a birthday. My waiter did not ask about the birthday. The waiter did not check on us during appetizer or lunch. However, we noticed check-ins with other guest. At other Javier's they place leftovers in boxes, we had to do it ourselves.

Jose, our server was a class act. It was way too loud to have a decent conversation. The food was outstanding. The best plate is a $50 appetizer. It has a little bit of everything. All their martinis should be Belvedere or vodka or better if they’re gonna charge more than $20. Happy holidays.

Their Tomahawk pork chop was the best I have ever had. I will be recommending Javiers to everyone I know.

Great Mexican food - I had a mole poblano with chicken which was excellent (along with corn tortillas and rice). It was super flavorful and light, which is great for lunch. My client had seafood enchiladas, also great. If I’m in the area I’d definitely come back here. I can see why there was a line out the door when I arrived - it’s popular for a reason. Glad I had a reservation!

I scheduled my office lunch for the holidays at Javier’s. We had great service and great food. The special was sea bass which was amazing. Javier’s have increased their prices yet again. Entrees are now about $50, which is nuts when probably two years ago it was $28 for enchiladas, rice and beans.
