![]() : About the restaurant: The décor and ambience here is so typical of designer Dodd Mitchell. We have been following him for many years, and we have to admit, we like his whimsical spirit. As soon as you pass the doors of Javier’s, you will forget that you are in the center of Century City, and in a shopping mall. The restaurant is huge --- 12,000 square feet and over 500 covers --- but it feels both cozy and vibrant: plants, ropes (many of them), booths, white walls, arcades, tequila bottles with great lighting and two bars (one honoring the Virgin of Guadalupe) will surely make you feel like you are in Mexico. Mexico is where Javier Sosa hails from. He had been in the restaurant business in California for many years before opening his own in Laguna Beach in 1995 (now in Newport Beach), followed by locations in Irvine, La Jolla, Los Cabos, Las Vegas and this latest addition. Javier’s is a family affair: Sosa works with his sons, and likes to compose the menu with recipes from his chefs and their families. Therefore, dishes from the different regions of Mexico are represented.
