Best Hot Spot Restaurants in Sorrento Mesa

Went in December and it was so nicely decorated for the holidays, food was great except for the gnocchi which was undercooked and doughy but they recooked it for us (lamb chops were 10/10), had holiday drinks (ornamentini was so good), service was great and so friendly, overall 4.5 stars! (0.5 marked off for the gnocchi)

Manager Lisa was the best, most service-oriented manager I have ever seen. She kicked in when service was a bit slow, checked in on us every so often, comped us a drink when we waited a bit too long for our order, and just made a slow evening into a spectacular one. A great manager. Well done Lisa!

Memorable holiday lunch w/out-of-town family. Always a pleasant experience with good food.

Food here at Javier’s is unmatched, hands down the best high end Mexican restaurant. Atmosphere is great with DJ music and excellent service. On of our favorite restaurants, but more on expensive side (think high end steakhouse pricing)

Taste and quality of food is great. Food temperature great. Food presentation and appearance excellent. Cleanliness of restaurant and bathroom was excellent. Server has pleasant serving attitude and manners, and was somewhat courteous (which could have room for improvement).
