Exceptional(2814)
Price: Expensive
• Seafood • Downtown / LoDo
Booked 29 times today
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.

    Okay, I did not post this immediately after returning from our Urban Farmer Thanksgiving because of the L Tryptophan, but . . . WOW was this place worth shirking family traditions for a new one! First of all, EVERY staff person we observed, whether through direct interaction or just from across the restaurant, was hard-working, kind and obviously glad to be there. The maître d', hostess, waiter (Riggs) and bus persons clearly and genuinely wanted for us to have a great experience. My partner's dairy free requirements were meticulously accommodated with absolutely sumptuous alternatives. Every bite of the bountiful meal (and I do mean there was SO much food - whether dairy-rich or dairy free) was luxurious and delicious. The ambience and interior décor were inviting, comfortable and warm. Because this was a special, prix fixe menu for the day, it's probably pointless for me to rave about the specifics, but trust . . . it was all so, so yummy! We shall return, we shall request Riggs as our server, and we shall never forget this absolutely spectacular Thanksgiving day indulgence!

    We were a large party of 9. We were welcomed and seated immediately. Drinks and food came out fast. The staff was so patient with us taking our time to decided between multiple amazingly sounding foods. When the food came out, it was off the charts amazing. I frequent the Holly St location of this establishment and have never been disappointed so I had similar expectations here and it was everything I expected. The rest of party had never been before and they were raving about the food and asking to come back. We will definitely be back.

    Excellent date night. Food was tasty and inventive. The dumpling wrappers and the Malaysian noodles were a bit too thick and chewy for my taste but the flavors were amazing and really well blended. Excellent service. The best I’ve had in a really long time. Dishes were timed perfectly and they even gave us a complimentary anniversary dessert, which was our favorite dish of the night! Highly recommend.
