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 our favorite seafood restaurant since we moved to Colorado 2 yrs ago. We live in Erie and will drive to Boulder just for their delicious seafood chowder 😋. We always have a very pleasant experience with the staff/service, drinks, and of course the delicious food! We have enjoyed everything we have ever ordered, from raw bar to cooked! Highly recommend 👍🏽

    Got the 1/2 pound of king crab - 2 legs. The table next to us got the pound 6 legs Hmmm It was awesome !!!
    Jax Fish House & Oyster Bar - BoulderResponded 4 days ago
    Jeff Thank you for the great 5 star review. Sounds like you got the big long legs at your table. We make sure to weigh out all our crab just so these discrepancy's don't occur. We would love to have you back in again soon for another awesome time. We will make sure to get you the giant claws if you prefer next time. Cheers Matt Myslivy Jax Fish House and Oyster Bar

    Excellent as always. Sevice and food are always great. Last night’s standout was the shrimp cocktail. We ordered two and when they arrived they looked almost like a tartare with bits of shrimp on top and dollops of unknown sauce around the edges. Thought they may misheard our order. But much to our delight, it was a de-constructed shrimp cocktail with rich, spicy, lemony delightful flavors. See you there soon!
    Jax Fish House & Oyster Bar - BoulderResponded on 26 September 2024
    Jack Thank you for your great 5 star review. I am so glad that you loved everything. The new cocktail shrimp is a fun take on that old classic. We went away with the martini glass and deconstructed it with all the familiar flavors. We cant wait to have you back in again soon. Cheers Matt Myslivy Jax Fish House and Oyster Bar

    Jax is always a favorite. This may have been the best food experience I've had in my 5 years visiting Jax. They easily accommodated our last minute request to sit outside. We started with the Lobster Deviled Eggs, and the Tuna Poke with Sushi Rice, Serrano, and Ginger Ponzu. I am not generally a fan of Poke but this was my favorite dish of the night. For entrees we had the Connecticut Style Lobster Roll with Fries, and the Peppercorn Crusted Ahi Tuna with Crispy Potatoes and Grilled Asparagus, and Horseradish Crema. Unfortunately, we didn't have any room left for dessert. Don't forget to get a round of oyster shooters for the table! (If you like spicy, request their Habanero Tequila instead of the Cucumber Vodka)😉
    Jax Fish House & Oyster Bar - BoulderResponded on 26 September 2024
    Erin Thank you for the 5 stars!! I am so glad that we were able to be your best food experience in 5 years!!! The habanero tequila is key for an oyster shooter. You know all the secrets here. We cant wait to get you back in for another amazing experience. Cheers Matt Myslivy Jax Fish House and Oyster Bar

    Typically this is one of our favorites. Hoping to have just caught them on an off night. Unfortunately, with a reservation we were still wedged into a small table between two other tables. I could hear the neighboring tables conversation over my wife for majority of the night. Service was average at best. Slow to be acknowledged, then some of the items that were ordered were never delivered. Luckily we were not billed for the undelivered items. Managers typically make their way around the dining room checking on tables. The manager on this evening was around, and I was hoping he would stop by the table but never did. Overall disappointing for the first time ever.

    We had a fantastic meal. Starting with the bread. My husband ordered mussels which he eats frequently and said it was one of the best he’d ever had. I had the seared ahi tuna which was sublime. An array of wonderful tastes. We were worried about the noise level when we walked in, however they must have done a good job with ceiling baffles, etc. because we had no problem hearing once we were seated. The service was great.

    Jax is always great. The classics, like peel and eat shrimp and calamari, are always delicious and the menu always has something new. I forgot my phone and one of the staff members ran down Pearl Street to return it. 😍
