   We repeat this restaurant every visit. First time seated in back in front of the kitchen. Not good idea. Gets too hot. Our waitress was good but had too many tables to deal with so everyone was scrambling to help .. a little chaotic

   Hi Penny, Thank you for joining us, and your feedback is greatly appreciated. I apologize I was unable to seat you at a different table, but I have added a tag to your OT profile to be sure not to seat you in that area the next you are in. I also apologize your service fell short during your last visit, we do work as a team here so it is very common to see multiple people at your table! I hope to be able to better accommodate your needs next time. Best, Chris Gundelfinger - General Manager

   Good service and the food quality is very good. Fresh new spring menu. Cauliflower risotto was very good. The PEI oysters are very good, a bit expensive, just order a few less than normal:)

   This is one of our favorites, but the service was really bad this time. Not sure what was going on. We went to celebrate Mothers Day. Total disappointment in regards to the service. Our drink order was not delivered until we requested it twice. In addition each time my husbands water was filled the wait person splashed his face and shirt so badly he had to wipe off. The hostess tossed our menus at us. Probably will not be back.

   Hello, Thank you for your feedback, we value the point of view from all of our guests. I can't apologize enough for your experience in regards to service. I'll be shooting you a private message to see if I can pinpoint this issue and remedy it directly, as I cannot think of any member of this staff who would behave in such a manner. I look forward to speaking you! Best regards, Chris Gundelfinger - General Manager

    Disappointed to see political signage at the entrance to the restaurant. Doesn’t belong there in our opinion. Stick to food and service.

    Server was good, understaffed was the feeling. The appetizers were the best part of the meal unfortunately. Oysters and calamari were great… Lobster roll was overpriced and the gumbo wasn’t good at all.

    Mother’s Day brunch was absolutely delicious! We tried several dishes including: Avocado Toast, Crab Cake, Deviled Eggs, Crab Cakes Benedict, The Burger & fries, and Seafood platter containing Oyster on the half shell, two types of fresh crab, shrimp, perfect sauces, lemon, and melted butter. Don’t forget the bottomless mimosas!! Everything was prepared to perfection and had our tastebuds begging for more. The only drawback was the noise level. It was particularly exaggerated because we were seated at a table right next to the kitchen, so next time we will try to request seating in the area that is farthest from the kitchen to make conversing easier. Otherwise, as long as Jax Fish House has brunch, we plan to be there! Exquisite cuisine and relaxed attire. 10 out of 10!

    I love the environment and style of the restaurant. Told them I was celebrating mother's day and they wrote "happy mother's day" on the table. That was a fun surprise. I enjoyed the garlic mussel appetizer and liked how they kept offering bread. I also appreciated the nice touch of bringing over warm damp towels to help clean your fingers. Our food was beautifully presented and picture perfect.

    Logan started out great but drifted away as the evening Progressed. Forgot my 2nd martini and the bread I had asked for. Barramundi was sub par and over cooked. Oysters were great and our friends enjoyed their lobster rolls. Logan has a great personality so just had an off night.

    Food was great & service was pleasant. Even though we had a 9:45 reservation, we were told we had to order right away because the kitchen was closing. I recommend you not take reservations 15 minutes before you plan on closing the kitchen, if you are going to rush your guests.

    Hi Ted, I'm glad your fare and service were good, but you are correct, we stop seating at 10:00 we do not close at 10:00.

    Service here is unpeckable. I mean really topnotch. I ordered the charred octopus appetizer that wasn't all that charred. Still tasted good but when the waitress came up and asked about it she brought the manager and they made me a new one without hesitation. This was on a Friday with a almost full house which just amazed me. I've been to other restaurants in Ft Collins with less people and got worst service than this place. Their lobster roll was great as well! Def worth the trip if you're in the area.

    Interesting menu and great atmosphere. Food is overpriced for what you get and everything we ordered was "almost" there as far as flavor, temperature and taste.We are used to big city prices and flavors and this restaurant does not compare - seems like they are taking advantage of tourists and being on the main drag.

    Hi there, I'm glad you enjoyed everything during your visit! I assure you we are in no way out to take advantage of our guests. As the first restaurant in Colorado to be recognized by Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch, we go out of our way to ensure our fares are sustainably and responsibly sourced and, considering Colorado is a land locked state, we pay a premium for our fresh seafood. However, we will always strive to bring the coast to the coastless! Best regards, Chris Gundelfinger - GM

    Happy Hour plates were the birthday bomb! A dozen icy-fresh raw oysters, generous plate of tender, lightly-battered calamari with sweet and savory dipping sauce, 1 lb of mussels in a luscious garlic brew and chewy, butter-grilled artisan bread slices (with more offered and accepted), tasty oyster poboy, and a cup of deeply flavorful gumbo fed the two of us more than well and supremely satisfied happy tastebuds. The 4x Q-Coin margies, key lime tart and apple crisp rounded out the meal. High quality ingredients, well-prepared, and a big shout out to our attentive, very good-guy waiter, Logan. All for a bit more than 1.25 C-notes with tip. Extremely satisfied, as I have been with just about every Jax visit in both Boulder and Fort Collins over the past 20 years. Keep it up!

    Excellent food and service as always. Jax has the best calamari in all of Northern Colorado. Jax is the only place we will order it from anymore. Also their peel and eat shrimp is always spiced to perfection and the sauces it comes with are amazing. Put that with a shareable salad and few of their very fresh oysters and it makes for a terrific meal for two that doesn't break the bank or overfill you. Allie was our server and she was wonderful.

    Jax Fish House & Oyster Bar - Fort CollinsResponded on April 12, 2022

    Thank you Barbara! I feel you on the calamari. I have to practice a huge amount of self control to make sure I don't devour it all! I'm glad to hear your last visit was excellent as usual, and I will be sure to pass along your compliments to Ale. Get back in here and see us again soon!
