Breakfast Menu "Jax Fish House & Oyster Bar" Boulder

We really had the best best date night here. The service was flawless, fast, friendly, attentive, and correct. 👌 Everything we ate was terrific! Highlights were the oysters (plump and fresh), wedge salad (ice cold and flavorful), and bread and butter (sweet and salty in the best best ways). Cocktails were excellent, I like a really specific martini and they nailed it. Lively space but not too packed in. I wanted to try every single thing on the menu. Just go, this experience was a perfect 10.

Had a great experience here! Food was fantastic, service good and the atmosphere was very nice on a summer Sunday evening. Not a cheap meal but a good time!

Jax is a venerable Boulder establishment which continues to prosper after many years because it continues to be excellent. The raw bar is still a great idea that has not been reproduced around here, at least to my knowledge, although the 3x price of oysters these days has put it off limits for me; I do miss the fun of it. The seafood menu is first rate and gradually evolves which is a good way to maintain interest. I do miss some of my old favorite dishes but such is life. The decor hasn't evolved over the years though, so I've kind of lost interest in it's "local fishing village bar" cleverness. The service we experienced recently was cheerful, efficient and spot on. We enjoyed the Happy Hour menu which has many very good food options. The beverage deals are not all that great, however. Inexpensive house wines were well priced but only $1 off on draft beer except for one uninteresting $5 lager. So $8 beer becomes $7 beer. There is an also an automatic $1 charge on the bill for some sort of random eco-food thing the restaurant participates in. A bit annoying. Overall, what was recently a $40 Happy Hour outing for two is now a $60 or $70 event. But Jax is definitely one of the best places in town to blow your budget.

We just randomly decided to pop in for hh after a little shopping on Pearl st. And.. OMG. What a great stop! Sat at the bar, got to know Cooper and Sammie (they are amazing and soooooo awesome!) Ordered the hh oysters (yum) the mussels (sooooo damn good and not overcooked) and glacier bay (soooo good, Cooper recommended) Had their signature drink the Jax 94! Went so well with the oysters and mussels! Then we tried the lavender sazerac (great sazerac- not much of a lavender taste but maybe that’s preferable lol-it was a yummy sazerac. And the prickly pear margarita which was also delicious! Definitely drop by if you’re nearby, I think 2s are easy at the bar for walk ins but if you’re large party definitely recommend reservations! Sammie was taking a lot of calls for later reservations and even some for the next week! Staff is amazing. Service was on point. Come. Especially if Oysters are your thing.

Menu selection was great, but execution was poor. Many people at our table complained about how salty their food was, and my dish was undercooked except for the fish, which was done perfectly.

Very cozy dining area and bar. Tons of people showed up for happy hour and there was a bit of a vibe. The wait staff were very nice and attentive. They felt relaxed and did their jobs quite well. There was collaboration between them so the experience was better and more effective. The food overall was great. We shared the crab cake which was solid. My friend has the half wedge salad and she liked it. I had the seafood chowder which was amazing. I’d say that the lobster roll needed a lot of improvement though. It didn’t have chunks of lobster and it wasn’t seasoned properly. That was the only thing we didn’t enjoy.

Best seafood around. It's the only place to get your fresh oysters!

We ate here in July, sitting inside to enjoy the fun atmosphere and decor. We have eaten at the bar before as well, and enjoyed that experience too. Food is always delicious and fresh at Jax! They have great happy hour drinks, and the service is fabulous and professional. Highly recommend when you’re in Boulder!
