   Jax is definitely the place to enjoy when visiting Fort Collins. Great food, excellent service and an overall vibe to truly enjoy dinner. We’ve gone every time we visit (about once a quarter) and the food/service/experience is always top notch. I can’t thank the team enough for making a gradation celebration special (plus my birthday). They went above and beyond in so many ways. Special kudos to Alex who was our host/server. She is absolutely fantastic and took care of everything for us. Highly recommended!

   It's always great to have you in! A belated happy birthday to you and CONGRATULATIONS to your daughter! We are so honored you continue to choose us to celebrate with and stop by when you're in town to say hello! I'll be sure Alex gets a chance to read your review! Until next time, Chris Gundelfinger - General Manager

   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

   Jax Fish House & Oyster Bar - Fort CollinsResponded on May 14, 2022

   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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!
