Great venue to enjoy music and food heated outdoor area wonderful. Enjoyed the chopped salad with tofu; could have used another piece of tofu for the price.

One of the nicest outdoor dining experiences in the area with lots of heat lamps to keep us warm even in degrees and a really good duo of singers.

My wife and I really enjoy the atmosphere and music at Java Nation.

It was perfect. The food was great And the music was excellent. It was just a little bit too loud but they were so talented

The restaurant offers a mix of positive and negative experiences. While some enjoy the outdoor space, live music, and delicious food, others are disappointed by cold beverages, small portions, lackluster service, and noisy atmosphere. Some diners appreciate the cleanliness, decor, and friendly staff, while others bemoan the tight table arrangements and unmet food expectations. Overall, the establishment is described as a decent stop for a meal, with potential for improvement particularly in service and portion sizes. Despite mixed reviews, patrons seem to appreciate the cozy ambiance and diverse menu offerings.

Pleasant outside dining with good ventilation on an otherwise hot summer evening. Chairs were hard.
