Latin Steakhouse Javier’s Downtown Opens

Javier’s Downtown, a Mexican/Latin infusion steakhouse, has opened at 1452 Brush Street, Detroit. The new establishment is also home to the adjoining Agave Lounge. Javier’s and the Agave Lounge are owned by a team of brothers—Brian, Brandon and Sean Hanna. Detroit-area hospitality veteran Theo Oresky serves as general manager. The prime location is in the center of everything that Detroit has to offer. “I’m not a very good golfer, but I could drive the ball and hit Ford Field—it’s that close,” said Oresky. “Music Hall is literally across the street and around the corner is the Opera House, Comerica Park and the Gem Theater. We are in the heart of the entertainment and sports district for the city.” The sophisticated interior of Javier’s includes a marble lobby featuring a glass champagne vault and a combination of quartz bar countertops and columns which are illuminated from behind with interchanging-colored lights. The bar area in the steakhouse has seating for 14 and dining space for about 90, while Agave Lounge accommodates 140 guests. Signature entrees include an 8 oz. filet mignon served with creamed potatoes, seasonal vegetables and chimichurri; blackened salmon with a Cajun cream sauce served with yellow rice and seasonal vegetables; and lamb chops marinated in rosemary, olive oil and garlic. The bar boasts a number of tequilas, craft cocktails and mocktails, margaritas, and a robust wine list. 1452 Brush Street, Detroit. javiersdowntown.com
