About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for happy hour
  • Lively
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.

    As always, we go to Jax for the oysters. The menu is slim but there is always something for everyone. The waitstaff hustle and get things going but do not hover.

    We were on our first date night in a while, and we had a lovely experience. We came in for Happy Hour (i.e.: cocktails and small plates), and our waiter was just as attentive as if we were sitting down to dinner. I love seafood, having grown up by the coast, and the gumbo was some of the best I've had in Colorado. The garlic fries had real oil-infused garlic drizzled over them, and the poke tacos were seriously our favorite dish of the night. We ordered the key lime tart, which was divine, and they even made us decaf coffee to go with our dessert! I don't remember the last time a restaurant did that for us. We will definitely be back, and we appreciate the time and courtesy that our waiter took with us.

    Good fish and shellfish. Only downsides are that it is not cheap and somewhat noisy.

    Too loud…. Wine prices outrageous, and no affordable options. 2.9% surcharge resulted in a comparable reduction in the tip for the server.
    Jax Fish House & Oyster Bar - Fort CollinsResponded 5 days ago
    Hi Joseph, Thanks for the feedback. I hear ya, in an old brick building with high ceilings it doesn't seem to matter how much sound dampening foam we put up during peak hours the party is rocking in here. I'm sorry to hear we dropped the ball in helping you find a bottle of wine, our list ranges from $40.00 to $350.00, and we could have done a better job helping you pin point a bottle that suited you, though I hope the Stuhl Muller Chardonnay hit the spot its one of my favorites. I'd love to hear how we could improve your next visit, please reach out to me at chris@jaxfishhousecom. Looking forward to hearing from you, Chris - General Manager

    Levi was fantastic. He was very respectful of our space as it was our anniversary. He/support staff really were on point and fantastic when it came to water and other necessities with the table and only checked in when necessary, and every time he came to the table, he was absolutely great. We would love to have him as a server again. Thank you for the amazing service would definitely recommend him as a server.
