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.

Nicolette was an angel when we first walked in and took us to a table but my lil sis wanted to sit next to the window. Nicolette was very kind and understanding and gave us a high top in the bar to wait and have a cocktail. 20 minutes later she sat us at the window!! We had Sam for a waiter who was excellent!! He showed up when we needed him, checked on us after the food was served and described and delivered all of food hot and tasty. We had the east coast oysters to start, chop chop salad for the ladies and lobster bisque for the men. Lamb chops, the seafood special a Chilean sea bass with all kind of things with it, scallops and the grouper. Everyone loved their meal, apps and the in between. We love Ocean Prime and my lil sis from California does too.

We attended an event at Boettcher Concert Hall at 6:30 pm, and decided to take advantage of the Happy Hour and have dinner beforehand. The CrackerJax Oysters on the half shell were excellent, as was the Fried New England Calamari with an exceptional dipping sauce. The quality food continued with our main courses. My wife had the Pan Seared Australian Barramundi, and I had the Blue Crab Cacio e Pepe; both dishes were outstanding. Eddie, our server, was very personable and attentive to all our needs, as was the general manager who checked on us three times during the evening.
