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. Please note that as operating costs associated with small business operations continue to rise, we include a 20% service charge on your bill. If you would like this removed, we are happy to do so. Thank you for your support and understanding and helping us all keep independent restaurants a viable pursuit.

The seafood chowder was delicious and the crab legs were good too. The lobster roll was very disappointing, there was barely any lobster and all you tasted was salted buttered bread. I truly can’t believe it cost $33.

Was out of half the items on the menu. Was rushed just to order one of the few items that were available. Food was ok. Server was rude and not personable at all. Definitely won’t be back.

Happy Hour on a Sunday to celebrate a birthday. Disappointed that they didn't have Calamari but loved the nice gesture of a free dessert for the birthday guest. The noise level was too high making conversation difficult Service was great and the staff was very friendly.

Susan, thank you so much for your review. I am so sorry that we were out of the Calamari! Please email me directly at melissa@jaxfishhouse.co m and I will get your next calamari on us! We can't wait to have you back, have a wonderful night!

Nice date night spot. Service and food were spectacular. Staff were knowledgeable of the menu. I especially loved the Ahi Tuna. Fun little activity on the dinner table where they had crayons to draw on the paper tablecloth.

Drinks and oysters were good. Apps were disappointing and if I weren’t with a large group I would have sent back my foul entree. It was touted as out of this world (blue crab cacio e Pepe) but tasted worse than buttered noodles I feed by baby. Absolutely NOT cacio e Pepe in any sense. Service was ok. Def will not be back, which is disappointing because I was looking forward to trying this place.
