   Service sucked. Waitress barely checked on us but then tried to clear our table while we were still eating. The iced tea was completely watered down and not at all worth the $5 they charged. The chicken dish I usually get was just as good as always. The stuffed peppers were salty but they weren’t mine so I just focused on my chicken. The guy who refills water was super attentive, our server could learn a thing or two from him.

   Javier’s is delicious but has gotten way too expensive. Prices are too high.

   Our first time in La Jolla and Javier's was recommended by a server in San Diego. Very fun atmosphere and made the perfect setting to reconnect with an old friend.

   Had a reservation at 8:30 for my birthday. Was told to wait for my table to be ready. 45 min later was given a table in the parking lot. Hostess and manager were useless in being able to resolve any issue. Good food and atmosphere, but be prepared to wait an hour even if you have a reservation.

   This was by far the worst hospitality experience I’ve had. With false promises, failure to deliver, bad attitude, lack of remedy, poor organization, and lack of sympathy. The hostesses are horrible!!! So rude and mean!!! I made this reservation weeks ago and mentioned it was a family members birthday and I would love a table inside with less people walking by. We were sat in the entrance outside and no birthday surprises were ever delivered. The manager did not apologize once for their failure to meet requests that were made weeks ago. Even though you have a reservation they will still make you wait for a table. They also made to get back up again just to be sat at another mediocre seat.

    Waitress was rude and was rushing us to order before a large group ordered. Difficulty get to and from table due to tables and chair positions. Extremely noises.
