About this restaurant

  • Lively
  • Great for happy hour
  • Neighborhood gem
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.

    The Halibut without the coating was excellent. I would suggest it be offered as an optional menu choice.

    My almost $50 piece of Halibut was dry and overcooked. My wife’s food was fine but I think a fish restaurant should be able to serve a decent piece of fish, mine was not .
    Jax Fish House & Oyster Bar - LoDoResponded on April 19, 2025
    Hi Bill, I am sorry to hear that we over-cooked your Halibut, I assure you that we will take your feedback into account and will be better next time. I'd love the opportunity to make things right. Please reach out to me via email. I am more than happy to take care of that Halibut for you, and find a time to invite you back in to cook for you again. ryan.strong@jaxfishhouse Ryan Strong, General Manager

    Our server was great, as was the hostess. It was kinda loud inside. Food was fine. The bill seemed pricey. Not sure if I’ll go back.

    We went for our 15th anniversary. The oysters were so good out like 30 only one bad one! We got the caviar which was delicious. The Caesar salad was very good as well. I ordered king crab and my husband ordered scallops my only complaint would be absolutely no seasoning on the steamed king crab other than that everything was fresh and delicious. Had key lime brûlée which was tasty and my first espresso martini. Would definitely recommend to a seafood lover. Also the tables are covered with paper and we had a great time doodling.

    Jax Fish House & Oyster Bar - LoDoResponded on April 1, 2025
    Dominic, thank you so much for the feedback. I am so sorry that you missed out on the $.50 oysters! Unfortunately we sold out the first hour we were open, we hope that next time we can get more so our guests can enjoy them throughout the night. We appreciate your feedback! Please reach out to me privately, I'd love to make it right. Melissa, General Manager
