    Our server, Sarah was amazing. The 3 course meal was perfect for Valentine’s Day. We had the Caesar salad to start, Prime NY steak with Yukon mashed potatoes, Prime Bone-In Ribeye with Yukon mashed potatoes, and the shared trio of desserts was the cherry on top, great way to cap the night. The food was flavorful, right texture, and the steak was tender with each bite. What surprised me was the explosion of flavor after taking a bite of the key lime pie. Very rich, tangy, and citrusy. Definitely a must try when we come back. Thanks for an awesome and unforgettable Valentine’s Day ❤️

    This is one of our favorite restaurants. Our waiter was fantastic, with a thorough knowledge of food options, and ultimately selling us on the prefix meal. This was Valentine’s Day, so very special. The food here is phenomenal. We had numerous dishes, including Wagyu, steak, sashimi, sushi, oysters, and a great dessert. Highly recommend.

    Our experience at this Javier's was overall fantastic. The food and service were what you always hope a restaurant of this caliber would be. We would recommend that if you are dining at a busy time of day to arrive early as this is an extremely busy restaurant and center, and the parking lots can completely fill up and the valet can get backed up. Other than that, our experience was top notch!

    Ambience was great (we sat on the patio, there were heaters and a fire pit), our server Jenny was delightful, and the food, both presentation and taste, was wonderful! (We had the truffle fries, steak & tuna sushi, and the molton lava cake.) The patio wasn’t very busy, as it was a Monday night. Everything was top notch, right down to the glass of champagne when we arrived! Love that! We’ll definitely come back again!

    As always, dinner was unbelievable. Every member of my family chooses Sushi Roku for their special occasion and every single time, it is unbelievable. It is the most consistent experience we have at any restaurant. The food and service is incredible. We truly order the exact same thing every time which you would think would get old but it doesn't. We start with Miso soup and edamame. Then we have the Brussels Sprout chips and Shishito Peppers. We close out with a lot of orders of yellowtail which truly could count as dessert, albacore, spicy tuna Hanabi and a Tuna Jalapeno roll.
