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.

    Food was fantastic as usual (we had the wedge salad, Thai Black Cod and Scallops). Service was also exceptional; we arrived right at our reservation time but no tables were available. The hostess kept us very regularly updated on status and comp'd our bar drinks while we waited! Thanks, Jax!!!

    I enjoyed my birthday dinner at Jax , as I do every year, and it was as fabulous as always! Sheridan was our server, and she was impeccable with her care. The food ( I had the tuna , hubs had the crab cacio and peppe pasta) was outstanding, amazing wine ( we love the red and seafood pairing section of the wine list) and Jax topped off my evening with a birthday dessert ( i chose an espresso martini). There’s a reason why we go back, over and over again. Jax is simply the best Boulder has to offer!!

    We love JAX and have been coming for 25 years. It’s been a few years since er went for oysters and we’re blown away by how much it cost. We had the Blue crab dip appetizer, 2 dozen “Happy Hour” oysters , 2 House white wine and 2 Heineken zeros. With tip over $160.00 and this was happy hour pricing without an entree.
    Jax Fish House & Oyster Bar - BoulderResponded 4 days ago
    Jeff Thank you for your continued love of Jax over the past 25 years. Prices have crept up in that time for sure. I wish we could still do the 50 cent oysters like in the past. We strive to provide some competitive happy hour options to our guests. We hope you do join us again in the future. Cheers Matt Myslivy Jax Fish House and Oyster Bar

    We had a wonderful dinner; scallops for my wife and Ahi tuna for me and both dishes were well prepared and presented. Jeremy our waiter was attentive, professional and friendly on a busy and boisterous Saturday night. The restaurant was full and lively which added to ambiance. We had not been to Jack's in years despite being long term Boulderites, and we will be back soon!

    James Thank you for the wonderful 5 star review! So glad you loved your dishes with us. I will let Jeremy know you loved his service. We cant wait to have you back for another visit here soon. Dont be a stranger. Cheers Matt Myslivy Jax Fish House and Oyster Bar

    Scallops were Amazing. Ahi Tuna delicious. Would order both again. Music was rather annoying with a very repetitive synthesizer sound. Not my vibe. Staff were very friendly.

    Judy Thank you for the review. So glad the food and staff was spot on for your experience. Thank you for sharing your feedback on the music. We will get with our music coordinator and get some different tunes going here at Jax. Cheers Matt Myslivy Jax Fish House and Oyster Bar

    I missed the grilled octopus but hoping that it comes back. I'm suggesting to try a different presentation for the bread, as it's a messy moment (bread served sitting in oil). No touching any 🍷🥂 after or with that appetizer... Otherwise the dinner offerings are as good as ever.👍🏽
    Jax Fish House & Oyster Bar - BoulderResponded on December 3, 2024
    Anne Marie Thank you for the great 5 star review. We will have to bring back the octopus one day. We appreciate your feedback on the bread. We will look into it. So glad everything else was fantastic. Cheers Matt Myslivy Jax Fish House and Oyster Bar
