Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Javier's Crystal Cove dazzles with "gorgeous design and views" and a "beautiful location." Guests rave about its "fabulous food" and "exceptional service." Though prices are higher post-renovation, the atmosphere and stunning sunsets make it a popular spot. Ideal for special occasions, yet expect a lively, bustling environment.

    Service was not great — the waiter was all over us to order drinks when we sat down, then forgot my MIL’s wine until we had almost finished eating. Ordered guacamole to start and it took at least 20 mins — at lunchtime (wasn’t busy). Been to Javier’s many times and every time I think, just come for a drink next time. Margaritas are great and the food is decent but not really worth the price IMO. bill was $300 for 5 of us (split 3 entrees, 1 app, and 5 drinks).

    Overall the experience was great from the food, to the service and everything in between. The staff are very friendly, attentive and make sure that you are taken care of. The updates that have been made really add to the experience. Thank you for a great time.

    Beautiful restaurant! Asked for an ocean view, got it. (This was a lunch reservation.) Reservation was for 6 but we had 7 - not a problem for them. Food was delicious - not too pretentious, not ordinary. Service was excellent.

    Margaritas tasted like they were out of a jug from Costco. Chips tasted stale. The food was fair, not worth the price. The renovation design felt like eating in a cafeteria, loud and overcrowded with people and tables. I had to yell to talk. Waiters seemed rushed and overwhelmed even on a Monday night! Very disappointed.

    We made reservations for our anniversary. Upon arrival, seated and then we kept waiting. A manager took our drink order 25 minutes after seated “she’ll find out who our waiter is”. After 10 more minutes of waiting still no waiter or drinks. After 35 minutes of waiting we left. As we’re leaving the manager shows up with drinks, too late! Used to be a customer & love their food. Never again!
