    Javier’s in New Port Beach a beautiful restaurant. I had the rack of lamb and my husband had the steak piccata both were excellent. They have remodeled the restaurant since the last time we were there and I like it! It is much more open and the lighting is better the staff was wonderful very attentive.

    The restaurant is beautiful. I wish they had more views of the ocean though, instead of putting a huge bar right in front of the windows. The service was excellent. The food was good but really at $32 for two chicken enchiladas you would think you would get rice and beans with it, but no, that was extra. Ridiculous! At least you get chips and salsa for free!
