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. Please note that as operating costs associated with small business operations continue to rise, we include a 20% service charge on your bill. If you would like this removed, we are happy to do so. Thank you for your support and understanding and helping us all keep independent restaurants a viable pursuit.

The food was nice and warm and the server was excellent! The music was a bit loud but the server offered to turn it down, but it was a good era of music.

Visited on a Wednesday evening this time and the experience was better than the last time. Had the NY Strip and Maine Lobster Tail. It took a little longer than expected for dinner to arrive, but everything was cooked properly, including my "rare" steak. The service was average for Red Lobster. The staff tends to hover until you place your order and vanish when it is time for dessert or the check, still, the service was good overall.
