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.

    Went to Jax for the first time since covid. LoDo Denver. We had been a frequent customer at this location, always great food and service. We were celebrating a birthday and wanted to have a good experience. The first negative that hit us was the automatic 20% fee added to the check to take care of staff. Apparently this is a thing now. Ok, we can live with that. I did inform the restaurant during the reservation phase that this was a special event. In times past, my wife would receive a card with a complementary 1/2lb of peel and eats for next time. Not this time. Nothing. Big negative. The second negative was the lack of real service for our table. I had to ask several times for a water refill. Generally not a good sign. The place was not packed, and it just felt like we didn't gain as much attention as bigger tables did. Ok, I finally got water but the customer shouldn't have to keep asking for something simple. At the end of the meal, we were again informed about the 20% fee, and any extra tip would go directly to the waiter. I don't like stiffing waitstaff even if I think the service could have been better so I added $10 to the total. No offers for a complementary dessert. I want to say the food was very good. The experience itself led something to be desired. We will think long and hard before we go back. Shame, the place was our favorite.

    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.

    Stacey, thank you so much for your feedback. We are always striving to be our best and your feedback is a big part of that! I would be honored to make it right. Please reply to me privately. I look forward to connecting. Thanks, Melissa (General Manager)

    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!

    Great experience at site. Went for anniversary dinner. Had asked for a signed menu from staff for a gift. Was given to us shortly after sitting down. Great staff at the bar and great service all around. We traveled form out of town and never felt we were visiting. Thank you for the great memory
