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.

    Colorado beef grilled up a perfect mid-rare, topped with white cheddar, on a soft, grilled brioche roll and sided by hand-cut fries. A great seafood restaurant has no business making such a great burger. It seems wrong, almost greedy. But there... More >

  • 2008 | Best Contemporary Cocktail

    When we walk into Jax, the LoDo outpost of a fish house that got its start in Boulder, we still get a twinge of nostalgia for the old Terminal Bar that once occupied this building. But after ten years, Jax has proven itself more than see-worthy.... More >

  • 2006 | BEST SEAFOOD RESTAURANT

    If restaurateur, chef and culinary man-about-town Dave Query has a signature spot that captures the evolution of his empire, it's Jax in LoDo. Here, in a retooling of the original Boulder fish house, Query's vision and his attempts to meld the... More >

  • 2002 | Best Eggs Benedict for Dinner

    Sunday through Thursday nights, Jax Fish House features "blue-plate specials" that fit the mood of the day. On Mondays, that means fish 'n' chips; Tuesday is Wash Day, cleaning the kitchen out of shrimp and beans and rice. But Sunday dinner is... More >

    Pretty expensive, but somewhat worth the visit. Fresh fish, delicis mussels: red curry (close, but not as good Bonefish's mussels) Next time, I'll try the oysters their known for!
