About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Lively
  • Neighbourhood gem
We don't take ourselves too seriously at Jax Fish House. Two things we do take seriously? The freshness and sustainability of our seafood. You know fresh fish when you see, smell, and taste it-and thanks to modern delivery technology, we bring in that freshy-fresh seven days a week. Sustainability is a little more complicated. Not all commercial fisheries are created equal. That's why we work closely with our suppliers and science-based organizations to ensure that every single thing we serve is responsibly sourced. We consider the stocks of the species we source to prevent overfishing and we work with suppliers who harvest in ways that have minimal impacts on marine environments.

    We had a two-top, and we were nervous that people would knock over our drinks as they passed by The food was good, appetizers and entrees, however our entrees were not as hot as we would have liked! We blame the waiter who we felt was ok. We felt he was “too cool” versus serving the table efficiently. He was nice, but we only got water refills after a long absence. And, it took a long time to get the entrees, again not as hot as they should have been, and we blame the waiter who was probably being “too cool” versus serving n a timely manner. Thank you

We are always looking to grow and improve-- in exuding caring, attentive service, and in taking the necessary steps to deliver great hot food! I'll be working with our team to refocus.

    Acknowledging the very slow service, our server told us there were only 3 waiters scheduled that night - for a packed house at 6:30 pm. It took us 2 hours for our simple meal for 2 on a Monday night! Our cocktails sat on the bar for 10 minutes until i finally approached the bartender to ask if i could take them to our table; he brought them himself immediately. The restaurant is incredibly small, crowded & loud, with just a few tables for 2. There were no towels in the one unisex bathroom. They did not acknowledge my note in my reservation that we were celebrating my husband’s birthday until I asked. We have been to the Jax in Denver many times and had good experiences, but this evening’s celebration was a big disappointment.

    Catherine! Thank you for your review! Monday was definitely a popular day this week. We aim to provide a comfy spot for all of our guests spending the evening with us, and I'm sorry to hear that you felt a bit over and underwhelmed! Your specific feedback is greatly appreciated. I'm happy to hear that Jax Denver has been part of some happy memories in your family. We'll be working to make sure that despite our smaller dining room size, we can show you a great time. If you are dining with us again, don't hesitate to ask for me! I'd love to help make sure you leave happy that you came. Best, Abbey E. Jax Fish House and Oyster Bar

    Cacio e Pepe is my test dish. It was excellent. Plenty to share as a first course after the oysters.

    Service was phenomenal, but on this visit the food was lacking. The peel and eat shrimp were horribly over seasoned, a few of the oysters were less than fresh and not shucked well, and the cold snow crab was water-logged.
