Javier’s is a busy, popular restaurant. The food is consistently very good. While the atmosphere has always been lively, it now borders on painfully noisy. The acoustics are such that it’s hard to hear the servers let alone the people at your table. On top of that they blast loud music with a heavy bass beat throughout the restaurant. The noise detracted from our experience there.

Our waiter Giorgio was honestly amazing. There was another girl that had a Chanel broach on that she made herself. She was kind, energetic and efficient with her time. The vibes were emasculate and I loved the energy of the people, the music, the mixologists at the bar. Everything was top notch. Food was decent. Good quality beef. Drinks were amazing. I think you’re overall paying for the vibe and the atmosphere overall. Definitely would go back.
