    Javier's is easily a top 10 restaurant in Los Angeles. It has everything- the best bar, the best food, the best ambiance, and great service (staff). This is one of my favorite restaurants in Los Angeles- there is nothing like it North of the border!

    We never received the very first item we ordered. Our waiter had suggested it. During our meal, we repeatedly asked the waiter about the missing dish and he kept telling us that he would check on it. Finally, an hour and a half later he told us that the restaurant wasn't serving that dish because they were lacking one of the ingredients. When we received the bill, we gave our waiter 2 credit cards to split the check. We were then given 1 receipt. Apparently, they charged our 2 cards without our signatures and without our being able to add a tip. We were told we could leave a cash tip. Very strange. We did enjoy our meal and the food was very good.
