If restaurateur, chef and culinary man-about-town Dave Query has a signature spot that captures the evolution of his empire, it's Jax. Here, Query's attempts to meld the upscale with the down-home come together most smoothly, in a spot that exudes a feeling of casual fun. From the moment you walk through the door, you want to loosen your tie, then eat too much, drink too much and definitely... more

A popular oyster bar serves as the foyer to the ever-busy Jax, whose brick-lined back dining room packs in the crowds, especially when there's a ball game at Coors Field three blocks away. A dozen different types of oysters are freshly shucked each day, and they can be paired with one of the house-made, fruit-infused vodkas or chili-fired shooters. The main courses make use of fresh catches... more

If it's available as a special, finish your meal with coffee-toffee pie: thick chocolate crust, espresso ice cream, whipped cream and cinnamon. Better than your morning fix.

In Short This fun, upscale place is perfect for ordering a bottle of wine and relaxing while eating. The chalkboard lists fresh fish of the day, ranging from fried oysters to peel-and-eat shrimp. The seafood platter includes a variety of goodies in generous portions, a great (and economical) way to feed four. Seasonal menus may offer a sampling of oysters from around the world or a... more

It's always a big, noisy party at Jax. There are good-looking crowds spilling out the door---waiting for a table or sitting out on a small sidewalk patio so friends spot friends and come over for a drink. Everyone orders martinis made with fruit-infused vodka or the lip-tingling Bloody Marys. Inside, fish art hangs on exposed brick walls and dangles from the ceiling. The tables are very close... more

This place is very nice. The oysters are very good. I had the scallops and was fantastic. One member in our group orderd surf and turf. His steak was over cooked but he never complained. They bought the whole table dessert without us even asking! Excellent customer service finished off a great experience.

Pros

+ awesome oysters and scallops

Cons

- small place

I don't see what everyone thinks is so good about this place! The meal I had was only so so for a 25 dollar dish, and it seems like everything on the menu has something gross added to it to just ruin an otherwise good plate. I sort of liked the crab cakes, but they came with a sauce that was quite similar to thousand island dressing and the salmon pasta would have been good, if it tasted like... more
