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. .
    Jax Fish House & Oyster Bar - LoDoResponded on February 23, 2025
    Tim, thank you so much for your review! I am so sorry to hear about the inferior service you started with but I am glad we pivoted and got you a solid server. I'm glad you enjoyed your meal with us and I hope to have you back again SOON! Have a wonderful rest of your night and thank you so much.

    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.
