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.

    Initial server was simply awkward. No confidence in his greet or table presence. He was a great runner though. .

    I live a couple of blocks away and have been meaning to try out Jax. Amazing ambiance and great food! Portions were just right and the seafood tasted very fresh (especially for a land locked state). The service, however, fell a bit short. Long wait times and multiple staff members tending to us but in a disorganized fashion. It took us an hour and a half for our main meal. I believe the price range of this restaurant should also reflect in the service as it did the food. If you’re not in a rush, give this place a try! I would like to try this place for HH as other reviews recommend.
    Jax Fish House & Oyster Bar - LoDoResponded on February 15, 2025
    Ephrem, thank you so much for your review. We are always striving to be our best and your feedback is such an important part of that! I'm so glad you enjoyed the food and ambience but it seems we completely dropped the ball on your service that night and for that I am truly sorry. I would be honored to make it right, please reply to me privately! Thank you so much, Melissa (General Manager)

    I love this place but it has changed. Menu prices have gone up considerably and for small amounts. 2 people last night we spent $200😳😳. They also place a 20% tip automatically. When did tipping for quality service not become based on service at the end of the meal? We were then told any extra tip would go just to our server!!! Extra tip? Our food was forgotten to be put into the kitchen. Took 30 minutes to get our food. I am sad because this place is a great downtown eatery.
    Jax Fish House & Oyster Bar - LoDoResponded on February 4, 2025
    Kevin, thank you so much for your feedback. I am so sorry that your food was forgotten, we obviously dropped the ball there. I would be honored to ask for a chance to make it right. Please respond to me privately! We do implement a 20% Service Charge on all guest checks. This is split amongst the team. It is never expected for anyone to tip on top of the service charge! I am so sorry for any miscommunication on that. I look forward to connecting, thank you again and have a great day.

    Good and drinks were great but the best part was out waitress Clare. She helped my wife with all the choices that were gluten free.

    Excellent sea food. We had oysters, hush puppies and crab fried rice. All were very good and not just your standard fair. Fried rice was spicy and yet not so much so that you couldn't taste the crab. The hush puppies were nice a crunch served on a bed of a sweet and soar sauce - very good. The oysters were roasted topped with herbs and spices. All was very good. We will be returning!

    It was all good, but the service could have been better. The waiter was forgetful and not very keen, and in the end, you got the check with 20% included. Not cool. Update. Fascinating response, Ryan, Assistant General Manager. Do you really think reading your essay about how attentive I should be to your service charge throughout the dining experience with you will make me more friendly towards the restaurant? Nice approach; keep up the same way. Call you—of course, I’d like to spend my time with you so desperately.
    Jax Fish House & Oyster Bar - LoDoResponded on January 6, 2025
    Denis, thank you for choosing to dine with us, we apologize for the service that left more to be desired. In regards to the 20% service charge as stated on our website, our menu, on the front door and again when we drop the check we do apply a 20% service charge to all checks. As operating costs associated with small business operations continue to rise, we include a 20% service charge to your bill. If you would like this removed, we are happy to do so. Thank you for your support and understanding. Any tip on top of that is appreciated but never expected. Please reach out to me today or tomorrow directly. I can be reached at our restaurant any time today or tomorrow from 1-9pm. Thank you so much, I look forward to speaking with you soon. Ryan, Assistant General Manager (303) 292-5767
