Fresh fish make a delicious dish

Featuring fresh seafood flown in daily, pecialties change monthly to reflect the season and availability. Selections often include Ahi Tuna, King Salmon, Lemon Sole, Hawaiian Escolar, and more. We also use small co-op farmed produce to further enhance the integrity of our dishes.

Denver's only true raw bar delights with numerous different varieties of oysters, chilled crab and lobster. The bar is always hopping and the extensive selection of martinis add to the experience.

Editorial Review for Jax Fish House – by Ephraim Mallery

In Short
This fun, upscale place is perfect for ordering a bottle of wine and relaxing while eating. The chalkboard lists fresh fish of the day, ranging from fried oysters to peel-and-eat shrimp. The seafood platter includes a variety of goodies in generous portions, a great (and economical) way to feed four. Seasonal menus may offer a sampling of oysters from around the world or a steamer of mussels in saffron broth.

Insider Tips

The Extras

If it's available as a special, finish your meal with coffee-toffee pie: thick chocolate crust, espresso ice cream, whipped cream and cinnamon. Better than your morning fix.

The place is definitely hip and cool. The food was good but the ambiance is what definitely makes this place go. My boyfriend thought his seafood platter was tasty. He wished there was more on the plate but he needs to lose weight anyways. I had a nice crab salad (yum).

Pros: Crab Salad

Cons: None

2 Star Rating: Below Average

I ate there last night and the food was very average. It was all cooked fine, but for what amounted to a $130 dinner for 2, we could do so much better. The fish, and we ordered one appetizer and 2 entrees, were all fine, very average though and the accompanying sauces did not mesh well with the fish. I doubt I would return.

Pros: Service, Polite Staff, Solid, if unspectacular wine list

Cons: Ambience and Food
