There are newer restaurants in LoDo, as well as restaurants with more unusual selections on their board. But still, Jax has become a kind of comfort restaurant for fish-obsessed carnivores. The oft-changed menu cycles between merely good and phenomenal, with the best plates on the best nights ranking among the best in the city. And while the bar is often the scene of crushing crowds during prime time, a quiet moment in the dining room with a plate of oysters or scallops can be worth all the waiting in the world.

The Inside Word on Jax Fish House

There aren't a lot of great seafood options around here, but this is one of them. I've only been to the Boulder location once. I like to sit at the bar at the LoDo location. Great service!
