Jax Fish House & Oyster Bar brings the Coasts to the Coast-less by mindfully sourcing and soulfully preparing the most sustainable seafood. Founded by Dave Query in 1994 on Pearl Street in Boulder, Jax has become a staple of the community. Under the longtime leadership of Culinary Director Sheila Lucero, who has shaped the kitchen for over two decades, the menu reflects a deep commitment to responsibly sourced seafood and seasonality. As the first restaurant in Colorado to become a partner of Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch program, Jax has long prioritized traceability and ocean-friendly practices. The result is a menu that feels both classic and conscious with pristine oysters, simply prepared fish, and vibrant accompaniments, in an intimate high-energy setting.
