Javier's Restaurant - Irvine

Apr 8th, 2024

Ive heard about Javiers for years, but I never stepped into the restaurant until tonight. I understand why this restaurant is talked about so much. The experience was absolutely fantastic, and its one of my favorite restaurants now. This is a restaurant you can spend hours in. The atmosphere of this restaurant is incredible. The plants, fires, ropes, etc and entire decor of this restaurant is gorgeous. It makes me feel like Im on an island somewhere or just in a different country, with different culture. The music selection is great, and the food was absolutely fantastic! I recommend getting the Sabor A Provincia, and the fried ice cream! It was absolutely delicious, and the servers were so attentive, and nice. I cant wait to go back, such a joy!

Located inside the Irvine spectrum, Javier's is an upscale restaurant and bar that has always been fun, elegant, modern, with a splash of "hipness" The decor is completely nice and intriguing. The food is excellent, but a but pricy, however, the drinks will completely satisfy your taste buds. Now, I would have given this location a 4.5 But my visit only earned it a 3.5 to 3.75. One, the reception area was courteous but not attentive I felt that we were just numbers to them, and waiting 45 min to be seated at around 930pm and after seemed a bit long. Second, I felt that walking through the prep area/ kitchen to be seated was not very professional. However, the layout didn't allow for other paths. Lastly, our server , as nice as she was, seemed a bit distracted, and we felt our service was impersonal . The location is superb for first dates , excellent for get togethers.
