Fort Collins

About the restaurant

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.

Great time overall. The food was delicious and the service outstanding. Highly recommend the lobster bisque and the fried calamari was the best I’ve ever had. The restaurant does get a bit noisy if you want to have a quiet conversation however.

We reserved a table for 15 for my daughter's college graduation dinner, 8 weeks in advance. After confirming a party of 15 via text the day before, there was a glitch in Open Table's system and it had us down for only 3 people 😲. I called the when they opened and they were able to switch some things around to accommodate our group. The service was EXCELLENT! The server was very attentive and took great care of us. Food was delicious and everyone had a great time. Thank you for helping to make memorable evening to celebrate our daughter!
