Jax Fish House & Oyster Bar

Upscale eatery. Reservations during high-traffic times mandatory. Food is great, and service was very good.

The oysters and Dungeness crab were 100% on point. Drinks were great. Service fell off as they were closing

Mid. There are way better oysters +seafood in town. This is a tourist trap imo.

One of our favorite places to eat when in Denver. Always a great food and drink selection.

Jax offered a decent meal experience albeit pricey. Staff was all very welcoming and friendly. While the bar area had ample staffing there seemed to be only two servers and one assistant for the entire restaurant which made interaction with the server almost non existent. That stated the overwhelmed server we had was friendly the few times we saw her and was doing the best she could. The food was decent but they love their spices and the MauiMaui was served with a paste that had a nip to it that was a bit much for my taste. The bread, served in a butter oil type sauce, was very good but again the sauce was strongly spiced. The chocolate oil cake and Ceaser salad were average. On the flip side the crab cake was excellent with chunks of crab. My wife enjoyed her salmon dish. The atmosphere was a bit loud and the air was set colder than it needed to be. Overall while I was glad to have tried Jax I'm not sure I'd go back as it did not seem up to the very high prices they have. For the prices I had hoped for a higher level experience. A better experience can be found elsewhere at more reasonable prices.

Door was open already, making it very inviting, service was great from the time we walk in until we walked out! Vert satisfied!

A great spot downtown. All the things you’d expect from a top-notch place: a great happy hour (all day on Mondays!), amazing and friendly service, and of course perfectly-done drinks and eats. But what really sets it apart is that the staff has consistently went above and beyond every time I’ve visited. Little touches to make my friends and I feel special. Major shoutout to the staff and especially our waiter Elica for always going one step beyond with service and hospitality. Will definitely be back for another happy hour soon!
