   Reservation was at 7 PM. We were not seated until approximately 7:25 PM. Not the most organized of systems in order to handle the crowds that they must routinely get. After that, everything was excellent. The service, the food, even the manager stopped by to be sure that everything was OK. A nice touch. It was a Saturday night and so it was pretty loud, but that is to be expected. Overall excellent.

   The food took over 45 mins to arrive. A little more than anticipated. We spoke to the manager only because we were there longer than expected and he didn’t even want to compt 2 out of the 6 drinks we purchased. It was sad but he said business is business. So sad. Half our bill was just drinks!

   server was rushing us out the door the entire time, i don’t even think he told us his name because we didn’t want to order any alcohol (we’re both under 21) had 4 different people ask us 6 different times (we were at the restaurant for all of 35 minutes) if we were finished eating as soon as the plates were put down. waiter was unhelpful and the only thing i can really remember about this place is how many people asked me if i was done with my plate in the short time i was there. the person i was with felt uncomfortable with how many times we were approached, and after 6 times i accepted the check and left. the experience was poor, and i usually have a great time dining with javier’s, but perhaps will have to stick to the newport one since the quality of service has never been as bad there as it was here tonight. for a wednesday night at 7:30 and as a paying customer, it was incredibly rude to be asked as many times as i was, and i hope this issue is addressed with your staff who will let everyone enjoy their meal regardless of how much money they are there to spend.

   We had good service during the beginning of our meal. The server was pushing me to order another drink. When I agreed she brought it oir shortly after and I told her it tasted too much like a smoothie and I preferred the other drink. After that her attitude completely changed. She actually came back and asked me why I didn't like the drink. I told her the pure in the was too thick and the margarita tasted like a smoothie. She was short and rude the rest or our service. Would not likely return

    It seems like they changed their chips! They taste stale and baked now! My salad wasn’t that great either. I think Javier’s has become too pricey for the quality.
