Jax Fish House & Oyster Bar doesn’t need to fish for compliments — the Denver location just keeps reeling them in. This second of the Jax restaurants (the original is in Boulder, and a third opened in Fort Collins two years ago) was named Best Seafood Restaurant in our Best of Denver 2012, and also snagged the award for Best Team of Bartenders.
And now this Jax has been named one of “The Best Seafood Restaurants in the U.S.” in the October issue of Travel & Leisure.

Here’s the T&L description:
Will you step up to support Westword this year?
At Westword, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $21,000 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $50,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of Westword, now’s the time to give back.
There’s fresh catch to be enjoyed in the Rocky Mountains, thanks to this 16-year-old fish house that flies in more than a dozen types of bivalves and fresh seafood from both coasts. Jax has been an incubator for young chefs, including Top Chef winner Hosea Rosenberg, who makes a guest appearance from time to time. Go for $1.25 oysters and $2 beers during the daily happy hour, but be prepared for a crowd on game days (Coors Field is three blocks away). And look for another Jax in Boulder.
Not to mention Fort Collins. There are always more fish in this sea…
