Javier’s Downtown & The Agave Lounge is located in the heart of Detroit entertainment district. We are walking distance to Comerica Park, The Detroit Opera House, Ford Field and we are directly across the street from Detroit's famed Music Hall. Javier's is a luxurious Mexican-American steakhouse that blends fine dining with a vibrant nightlife atmosphere. We offer irresistible specials which makes us perfect for business meetings, private events, date nights or even a casual night out. Located inside Javier's Downtown and adjacent to our dining room is our AGAVE LOUNGE. This ultra lounge provides a lively social scene with cocktails, music and a sophisticated yet welcoming ambiance. Whether you are looking for an amazing dinner or a club night out...Javier's Downtown is your destination! While Javier's strives for a comfortable and casual approach... we do request "Appropriate Dress Attire". And ask that all gentlemen remove their hats upon entering our dining room.

    We had a wonderful night. From the moment we arrived the hostess was friendly and helpful. Our waitress Selena was attentive and nice. The cocktails and food were delicious and the ambiance is fabulous. The music is lively..a bit too loud for me..but not bad enough to obstruct conversation. I will be back with my hubby.

    The food was good, and the ambience was excellent, creating a pleasant dining experience. Initially, the service was great, but it quickly declined after our waitress was moved to another section. We experienced very long waits for food, drinks, and even the bill. Some drinks we ordered never arrived, which was disappointing . While the atmosphere and food were enjoyable, the inconsistent service left much to be desired. What was meant to be a special occasion ended in a disappointing dinning experience.

    Our server, Christian, was excellent and the cocktails were good. I’d skip the seafood tower, as it was overpriced and lacking variety (the shrimp and crab claws were tasty though). We had a filet, mashed potatoes and asparagus, all were delicious and the carrot cake was phenomenal!

    Food was fantastic. Waitress Jenna was great. Bartender was rude and the bar was a little bit of a fiasco, drinks could have been a better. Overall very good experience.

    I’m shocked at all the amazing reviews here because the service nor the food was up to par . If I could rate a 0 I would . My bill was almost $900 which would be ok if the server wasnt snotty and the food was seasoned and my steak wasn’t dry. I will never visit this establishment again .. not worth the hype or the money unfortunately and manager never came after we said we were not satisfied .
