    Everything was fantastic. I love the GF/V/meat eater options and as always, bottomless mimosas! Our server was a sweetheart as well. Very good!

    If you are near Union Station in Denver, eat at Jax's! Great selection, excellent staff, delicious preparation and good cocktails. Happy hour, specials, just eat there!
