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.
Most customers praised the attentive and friendly service, highlighting specific staff members who enhanced their dining experience.

Seamless service from entry until check paid. Jax knocks it out of the park once again with a fabulous evening. We were welcomed with bartender Chris with delicious icy filthy martinis, after being taken to our table a few minutes later we had the pleasure of meeting Reagan and Levi for the remainder of the evening. Chef had perfectly curated courses. fritto mixto was to DIE for. Pasta, branzino, mousse....every course was to die for with the service to match. The most perfect holiday evening. Thank you all so much to staff being there on a holiday and bringing the A team

Jax is always a joy. The oyster selection always offers something interesting to choose from. If you're like me, you'll end up keeping a list of your favorites on your phone, hoping they bring them back soon. I've had the ribeye here as well and it is one of the best steaks in Old Town, so don't fear getting the turf rather than the surf!
