About this restaurant

Lively
Great for happy hour
Good for business meals

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.

Great ambiance, the warm bread was excellent. Overall the food was good but very overpriced. 180 for a regular meal for two people (an app, two entrees and two cocktails). Good food but for that price I expected better.

Our first visit! The staff were all friendly and upbeat. Our server, Mackenzie, was so helpful offering recommendations and great descriptions of food and cocktails. She also pointed out the Happy Hour specials. The complimentary bread and delicious seasoned oil were a nice surprise We enjoyed the Mussels, Mushroom Risotto and Fried Catfish.

Massive letdown from start to finish. Service was nonexistent. We had to flag someone down just to check if they remembered parts of our order. Got shorted on oysters (18 instead of 24), and both crabs were bone-dry and overcooked. Even the lobster roll was filled with dry, tasteless meat. For over $400 for four people, the value just wasn’t there. No attention, no care, just a bad experience across the board. Only redeeming thing? The CrackerJax oyster. Perfect size, flavorful, and exactly what I wish the rest of the meal had lived up to. I had high hopes as it reminded me of a spot back home in San Francisco, but unfortunately, this place missed the mark in every way that counts.

Overall from start to finish was exceptional, on value was the only area we felt instead of automatically adding the 20 percent gratuity, it should be left up to the customer, but we get it everywhere and everything is going up in prices,still left very satisfied with our service and food, and also left our server and additional tip. Thanks.
