About Jax Fish House & Oyster Bar
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.

Reviews
Awesome food, Excellent service
I felt the need to share after reading the bad reviews regarding the service. I just got back from dinner and happy hour there, and had excellent service both from the bar, and at the table. The staff from the moment we walked in and were greeted by the hostess, until w...e left at the end, could not have been more gracious and friendly. The bartender was accomodating and tried to make my friend a grape martini, even though it wasn't on the menu, and even experimented and gave him a sample before making him order. The waiter was excellent and so friendly. The food was great. Being from the east coast, and having been to many restaurants in NYC, this place certainly stacks up, only with better service. My friend had the iceberg lettuce to start, I had the Jax chowder, both great, and large in portions. Then, he had the scallops, and the mushroom bread pudding was unbelievable. I had the special, Jambalya, which was not only large in portion, but delicious. We shared the banana beignets for dessert, and we both were moaning with pleasure! And the bill was completely reasonable, and surprisingly low. We were both so pleased, and happy!
Fun atmosphere, great staff
This place is a gem! I recently brought my daughter to CU and as we were shopping around one day we asked many of the people in the stores recommendations of where we should grab an early dinner. Besides The Kitchen and Ten Ten Brasserie, Jax came up over and over. We t...hought we would give it a try! It did not disappoint - great wine list, oysters, and service. We just sat at the bar which was fun and casual. Highly recommended!

An exceptional experience
The crab cakes were some of the best I've had in the country - easily in the top three. The chipotle louie sauce accompanyment was a unique and pleasant plus - not too hot, but just enough to really compliment the crab. The lobster and shrimp chowder was decent, but not...hing to write home about. I opted for the moonfish with porcini mushrooms and pomegranate and green curry sauce. Well prepared and flavorful, this dish did not disappoint. Topping off the meal was the well reviewed Key Lime pie. Flavor wise, this was one of the best I've ever tasted. It was a little soft for my taste, but did not detract from the experience. The crust could not have been more perfect, thin and firm. Service was excellent with warm and very friendly staff, though it's noisy and a little difficult to communicate even when right next another person.
Fresh and the best
Consistently inspired and unique fish in a fun, energetic atmosphere. The bluenose is my most favorite entree in Boulder. Blissful infused vodka offerings to boot.
