Can't go wrong with the chowder . I ordered a combination of wasters king crab peel and eat shrimp watch salad and blackened salmon as well as tuna poke . All dishes met and exceeded expectations!!!

Legendary happy hour at Jax with $3 oyster shooters (East Coast oyster , vodka , bloody mary mix ) and $5 chorizo gravy fries with cheddar cheese curds . Like poutine via Mexico. O, Canada! Read more

The Lobster Roll is a must have! The oysters are amazing and the servers do a great job explaining the different flavors depending on where they come from. Monday is all night happy hour !

Travis Welke

Best clam chowder EVER! Pair with the homemade bread and a cold beer - you will not want to leave! Great specials on oysters too!! A must visit when I am in town .

Boris Krasko

Simply one of the best seafood places I’ve been to. A must any time I visit Denver.

Lisa Grimm

The lobster roll is incredible. Order it. Also, they make their own grenadine, which was incredible in my Shirley Temple :)

Less spacious and more energetic than McCormick's across the street, but much fresher seafood and better beer selection . Better happy hour deals , as well . Check it out.

Go for happy hour and get the Sea Dog and PEI Muscles with Panang curry sauce . Order the buttermilk break to soak up the sauce.

Arthur Mitchell

Barely above average. Appetizers: oysters , calamari , and lump crab cake were excellent. Ciopinno was sub par: broth was lukewarm, alaska crab-really?, and fish was only found dissolved into flakes .

Marc S

Great selection of top quality oysters . Highly recommended for the last 20 years.

Samantha Edwards

Crab cakes were great... Oyster shutters a must. Plus you can draw on the table!

Kyle Moore

Calamari and clam chowder were exceptional. Lizzie and the rest of the staff make the evening perfect.
