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.

    Jax is an outstanding restaurant . The food and service were superb. My wife is especially picky about the freshness of fish and the way it is cooked. She raved about her Cod dish. I had a Tuna dish that was very tasty . The asparagus was notable in that thin stalks were chosen and cooked to perfection. The waiter was attentive, but not overbearing. All sauces were delicious .

    We've loved JAX for years. Great quality and unique food offerings. After spending a lot of time working in hospitality business, we know that going out for dinner on Valentines Day is risky. The menu was cut to a prix fix offering which we knew in advance, and trusted the kitchen to do right. However, the food was average. A few notes, the lobster bisque barely qualified as "lobster" flavor. The steak was tough and over cooked, not horribly, but not as expected, and the mousse for dessert was really underwhelming. So, our feeling of going out for a Valentine's dinner is confirmed. However, if you temper your expectations and enjoy the wonderful company of your Valentine, it is still a wonderful night. We are still fans.

    We just love Jax in Boulder. This is our go to date night. Often we will look around at other ideas but always default to Jax. We know that we are going to walk away feeling like we got our moneys worth. I always tell people this is a 5 Star restaurant you can wear jeans and a flannel to. The environment is so casual and the staff is always welcoming. I had Tuna Crudo that was TO DIE FOR!!!!! I whole heartedly recommend eating here.

    The food, presentation and service were very good. We were disappointed that at 6:45 two of the six seafood entrees were unavailable leaving limited options for seafood at a seafood restaurant.

    Best decision to have dinner at Ajax during Super Bowl. Casual and relaxed feeling and good food without the crazy loud ambience.
