We chops the Sahara for dinner before the concert at the Fox. The lamb chops and deboned chicken was great. We had side car cocktails that were excellent.

We visited Javier’s during opening week and we were pleasantly surprised. They have done a great job with the decor. It feels cozy and elegant. Definitely a nice date night or special occasion worthy. Very spacious and can hold lather parties. The food was seasoned well overall. The only remark on improvement would be to season the rice and beans, and to have the wait staff inform patrons of the price of upcharges. The appetizer chicken wings were perfection. The fish tacos were flavorful and hearty. The airplane chicken was seasoned really well. We’ll definitely be back and look forward to adding the Javier’s experience into our regular places to visit.
