About

Seafood Restaurant
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.

    Deception and quality evaporation of the most disapointing type. A down hill slide of what used to be a great restuaurant. Off our list of good spots. Food has declined to a level of a discount type chain like Red Lobster

    So we’re visiting Denver and are walking by this nice little place, it’s clean and the ambiance is very pleasant. The people at the bar were a little bit too loud but that’s expected once the drinks kick in and listening to them talk about their first time home owner experience wasn’t as bad for some bar talk. Anyway I ordered the salmon and it came on skewers which was unusual but still tasted good however the bed of white rice underneath the salmon and broccoli was refrigerator cold which was horrible. My husband recommended I tell the waiter but I don’t like sending food back because it just doesn’t seem like a good thing to do so instead I then decided I’d write this review. My husband ordered the fish and chips which being happy hour had ended they were no longer serving but the awesome waiter went to the back to ask the cook if there was any left and there were. The unfortunate part was that instead of being happy to get rid of the happy hour food they charged us for dinner plate and made the price up. Our waiter was Ryan P. and he had stated he was fairly new but he was fantastic. Ryan stated when we received our bill that a 20% service charge was included on our bill which in my opinion was great for his tip from us but then he said that anything afterwards goes to him. I wanted all the service charge to go to him but not sure now that gets deviated. The ambiance was enjoyable and they provided crayons to draw/write on the paper table cloth which was entertaining while we waited for our food.

    My husband and I were in the area for a different event and chose this restaurant to stop for a drink and to make use of their facilities. The staff were friendly and asked questions about the event we were participating in. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere, was clean, and had seating inside and out. We saw many happy patrons enjoying their food. Thank you!

    Great food, great service. Always have a great time and oysters are delicious! Oysters from east and west coast - and fried, are awesome. Our waiter was professional and friendly. We also learned a lot talking to the oyster shukker.
