Jax Fish House & Oyster Bar

Absolutely amazing fish house. The service was amazing, the food was delicious. I especially enjoyed the Spanish octopus. I had the Alaskan king crab and got a very generous amount.Dustin, our server, was fantastic. He chatted with us and was amazing to talk to. Will be coming back! Update 9/30/2023 - still an amazing place to get seafood! I tried their bloody mary oyster shooter! The Oyster was in the shotglass itself, which I really enjoyed! Blue Island Oyster Bar has the bloody mary shot separate from the Oyster itself, so that was different! Had snow crab here again. Had to ask for garlic butter since it doesn't come with it upon serving but still so good! Shared the fried calamari and that was exceptionally delish! Warm ciabatta with oil and seasoning rounded out the meal.

Three of us had dinner there at 8. Place was crowded when we arrived but then tapered off. Started with cocktails—I had the New Fashioned which was nice and smooth. Then we split the “Line” raw seafood platter which was enough food for us but it was definitely helped by two skillets of their corn bread which was excellent. Service was great—clear the server had been doing this for a while. Nice evening and excellent seafood for the middle of the mountains.

This place was a great choice !!! Here's what was ordered: The Emersum Oysters (6) Calamari Grilled Shrimp Pasta Tuna sliders turned into an entree A side of bacon fat cornbread The oysters were amazing. Everything was amazing really, even our server who convinced me to try the oysters with my fiance who I typically leave them to. Man were they a surprise! Such a good flavor and not chewy!!! The texture was the best part since usually it throws me off The calamari was great. I typically eat calamari plain without any sauce because I enjoy the main flavor, but the sauces were amazing. If you get this, mix the sauces after tasting the two!! The tuna sliders turned entree, as suggested by our waiter, had three of the normal sliders (You typically get two as an appetizer) with fries. It was awesome. Do I have to keep saying everything was awesome? And then the bacon fat cornbread was a excellent side! Butter with it was smooth and sweet! 10/10 food 10/10 service
