We were back the next night for more oysters, but getting a seat at happy hour isn’t always an easy thing, but we were lucky enough to get a seat at the bar once again. Every member of the staff on all of our visits were extremely friendly and proud of the restaurant in which they worked. We also talked about his recent trip to Thailand and how we both appreciated getting inspiration from local flavors of the places we visit, the more exotic, the better. Oysters on the Half Shell Spicy Tuna on Crispy Rice Peel and Eat Shrimp Shrimp and Grits with a Fried EggĪfter dinner, Chef Alex Krill came out to ensure that we were satisfied with our meal and we talked about their commitment to source food from local farmers. Finally, we had the special for the night, which was shrimp and grits with Tabasco butter with a scrumptious fried egg with a runny yoke. Peel and eat shrimp was next on the agenda followed by another dozen oysters (yes, we were hungry). After the oysters, we enjoyed a small plate with spicy tuna on crispy rice, which had wonderful flavor. Obviously we enjoyed some wine with our meal, but we believe in enjoying a wine of your preference versus worrying about a specific pairing, so red or white wine works well with seafood for us. We started with a dozen oysters, of course, which were wonderful. We really appreciate the farm to table and, in this case, sea to table approach that provides the freshest ingredients that are in season at the time. One of the things we really like about Jax is their commitment to sustainable seafood sources as well as sourcing their food from local farmers. The goal of Jax Fish House is to serve fresh seafood to land locked communities and they fly in their seafood fresh everyday. There are a total of five restaurants with locations in Denver, Boulder, Fort Collins, and Glendale in Colorado and the fifth in Kansas City. They have the most incredible happy hour with oysters for a $1.50 each as well as a variety of other options. We’d been to Jax Fish House and Oyster Bar when we visited Fort Collins a while back, so when we found them in Boulder, we were quick to pay them another visit.
