We made a reservation at Javier's La Jolla and checked in on time, though things started off a bit awkwardly. Upon arrival, they asked for a phone number, which felt a bit standard, but the check-in process was a little strange. There were several employees at the desk, but only one person seemed to be handling the situation, while the others were assigned to clear menus. It was busy, and there was loud music playing, but the vibe was more chaotic than lively.
Our reservation time came and went, and after about 30 minutes, we finally got a call to be seated. However, the main host asked us to wait in another area for several more minutes before finally guiding us to our table. Not exactly the smooth start we were hoping for.
Once seated, the service was much better. Our waiter and the rest of the staff were friendly and attentive, though we did have to remind them that we were celebrating a birthday. It would have been nice if they had acknowledged that without needing a prompt.
As for the food, it was decent but not as impressive as we had hoped. We ordered a variety of enchiladas, but there were no sides like rice or beans included--just the enchiladas themselves. After some confusion, we ended up with double beans and one order of rice for four people, which was a little odd. For dessert, we had cake and churros, and eventually, they brought out a flan with a candle for the birthday girl, which was a nice touch.
What truly made the night enjoyable, though, was the company, the salsa, the music, and the smiles during our conversations. While there were some service hiccups and the food wasn't perfect, the overall experience was still fun and memorable.
