    It was our 2nd time at this location. LaJolla is still my favorite location of the Javier chain. We were greeted by a cordial host and waited about 7 minutes for our table. There was no mention to us by the hostess about my seating request under my reservation. Not even an acknowledgment. The ambiance is really nice because it feels like you’re on vacation. It’s a beautiful restaurant. The service by the waitress was very good. I had to send my drink back to the bartender because it was made really bad. The food was good but not overwhelming like last time. Valet was on point.

    Not the best experience. Our waitress was very pushy and wanted to turn that table. My friend and I are widows and came out for dinner and felt very pushed to get out. Probably will never come back disappointing
