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.

    This is our go to place for date night and everyone that knows us knows. We frequently get gift cards for Jax since it is where we take many visitors. Our waitress was great. We went for happy hour and never felt rushed. The food was wonderful. We had some of our favorites (peel and eat shrimp, calamari, and muscles) and tried one new dish, the poke. The cucumber press lemonade is reason in itself to go. Can't wait to go back.

    So happy we celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary at Jax. We dined during happy hour & thoroughly enjoyed the menu selection. Service was amazing also. Our server provided the perfect amount of attentiveness. All of the raw bar items were freshly prepared & delicious! Highly recommend the LURE SAMPLER & the CUCUMBER LEMON PRESS cocktail. Thank you for making our evening extra special!

    Nice Happy Hour menu allows small plates for dinner and friend chat. If you sit against the wall, not in the middle, it’s easier to hear.

    Excellent meal! The mussels and oysters were delicious as was the swordfish. I had two cherry sours and the cherry garnishes were amazing. It was a little chilly sitting by the windows, but it was bitterly cold outside so that was to be expected. The service was professional, personable, and friendly. Highly recommend Jax.

    Thank you Sandie! I'm so glad you enjoyed, that cherry sour is to die for and that brandy dipped chocolate covered cherry garnish is no joke! Second Drink amirite?!? I hope to have you back soon! Cheers, Chris Gundelfinger - General Manager

    Though not apparent on OpenTable, it seems there are different levels of reservations with some trumping others. We found this out when we arrived early for our 4:15, and though most tables were empty, we were told they were reserved differently than our's and for specific tables. The host was able to resolve this but we would have to leave the table before the more senior reservation arrived. Very strange. Since we love the restaurant, we stayed, but continued to wonder how what had worked in the past no longer worked now. Regan was our server and did a fantastic job. The food was great as always, though the portions were either a bit smaller or more expensive than in the past. Just something to be aware of but not a reason to miss this excellent "date night" restaurant.

    Hi Michael, thanks for coming in and joining us! I'm glad you enjoyed but I'd love to talk to you more about this review, I'm kind of awestruck as there are indeed not "differing levels" of reservations. I'm so sorry that this was how you were made to feel about it. Please reach out to me at chris@jaxfishhouse so I can pinpoint and remedy this issue. Cheers, Chris Gundelfinger - General Manager

    The waitress was phenomenal! Went for my partners birthday and we were sat at a table with a large “happy birthday!” Written in beautiful cursive on the table! Our waitress greet us and immediately wished my partner a happy birthday. She proceeded to check on us often (I’d say about every 10 minutes) I know sometimes people don’t like this but I felt very well respected and like she was being attentive and not naggy. At the end of the delicious meal our desert was comped for my partners birthday! Couldn’t have wished for a better birthday dinner for someone who means so much to me. Thank you!
