    Top Shelf Enchiladas - Shrimp and Lobster
    Joe S.

    If you like a modern fusion twist on Mexican food, then the Blue Agave Grill is a must. We had a large group of 10-12 and everything was great from the cocktails to the appetizers to the entrees. Our server took great care of us. The waiter recommended the salmon wontons and wow, this was excellent. Each one was HUGE and I was lucky to grab on when it was fresh! We had a few other appetizers as well and they were all excellent. For my entree, I had the Top Shelf Enchiladas and these were outstanding! They had shrimp and lobster and a delicious creamy sauce on top! The beans were dark and rich (like George Hamilton) and the plain white rice worked well with this dish. If I was in Denver, I'd go to this restaurant again. For a city in the mountains, there are a lot of Mexican options and this one was 5-Stars!

    Brussels

    The best thing about this place was the Brussels sprouts! Wow. I was not expecting much as it was pretty empty and not many people were working on a Friday night but those Brussels sprouts and margaritas were amazing. Black and white nachos were also good, and my friend enjoyed her tacos. Our waitress had a great personality, she was also running the bar, and she managed to still provide good service and we didn't have to wait long. Inside was quiet, and clean. Not bad for walking by and deciding to check it out - glad we did.

    Lovely and welcoming with delicious (pricy) food! We stopped in after a show nearby. We parked in a parking garage about a block away and walked to the cute and trendy restaurant. Luckily, despite it being a Friday late afternoon, we were able to get a table right away. The staff were friendly and attentive. The decor was classy and lovely. After perusing the menu, I ordered a spicy jalapeño margarita to share with my husband and some chips and salsa. My husband ordered the Tofu-Walnut Enchiladas while I opted for the Santa Fe Salad plus a cup of Poblano-Corn Chowder. Everything was outstanding and the service was on point.

    I ordered the happy hour chicken tacos but they added beans and rice which is their dinner portion.  They charged me the happy hour price.

    Great margaritas and good food and service. Especially for happy hour I ordered the chicken tacos off the happy hour menu, only $7.

    We hit up Blue Agave Grill before a show at DCPA. They were super speedy, friendly customer service, and the food was phenomenal!!!! Will totally go again!!

    Pricey spot downtown with good margaritas and food. Fun for a fancier night out with friends. Had these spicy cucumber margarita and it was fantastic with nice frozen cucumbers. Our waitress was really friendly and helpful to our group making sure we had enough seats for all the friends joining in! The coconut shrimp was fantastic and I would get it again!!!

    Carne asada taco
    John L.

    Pesto carnita tacos are the best item here. It's creative, unique, and absolutely delicious. Fish tacos are a close second. Well-balanced flavors, classic fish taco. NOT battered, which is a huge plus for me. I have to say though, not consistently executed well. 2 times, they were amazing. One time, fish was overcooked... like absolutely hammered. Awful, probably should have sent it back. But we were in a rush by that point. Next best item here is the chorizo corn dip. Simple and tastier than I thought it would be. I wish I could eat the chip bowl it was served in, but it was greasy as hell. All other tacos were below average to bad. Carne asada tacos were not balanced. Meat itself was really good, but the black beans just takes over and muted all the flavors. I am a black bean lover too. The chicken tacos were just awful. And the red carnitas tacos were unremarkable and boring. The tequila selection is disappointing, but I'm comparing it to real tequila and mezcal bars in Denver, the likes of adelitas. The tequila selection here is basic. And the margarita was not great. If you just want to drink, then it gets the job done. Service is inconsistent and slow. Waters were not refilled consistently. Seemed like servers were somehow, at the same time, rushing and lackadaisical. Only reason why they get 4 stars from me is pesto carnitas tacos and fish tacos (on a good day). If these items disappeared from the menu, then it's 2 stars... maybe 3.

    Margarita Flight
    Samantha M.

    Service Food Thank you Nick and your staff for exceptional service and taking care of our team (20) for lunch. Nick was a pleasure to deal with and it was seamless making a group reservation. Our server was amazing as well. The food was great and came out fairly quickly considering how large our group was. The only feedback is that they were out of their delicious tortilla soup and the shrimp skewers weren't cooked that great. Everything else was delicious, with the Blackened Scallops stealing the show!!! OMG

    Spicy cucumber margarita
    Ann L.

    A group of us had dinner here on a Sunday night and it was pretty quiet, but we were still glad we had a reservation since we were a large group. I enjoyed the spicy cucumber margarita; it had just a hint of spice and the frozen cucumbers added a nice touch. They don't skimp on the tequila so one was plenty! I had the al pastor tacos for my entree and they were flavorful and nicely seasoned; portion size was perfect for a not too heavy dinner. We did share some appetizers as well and the tuna was quite good. Service was good and the atmosphere was casual and quiet.

    margarita

    Came here for my friend's birthday. The waitress was great. I ordered the house margarita and they are very generous with the alcohol! (Love that). Ordered Blue Agave Fish Tacos, they were huge. They give you 3, I could only eat 2. The tacos had Marinated Cherry Tomatoes on top, which I am not a cherry tomato fan. But they were amazing! So full of flavor.

    Robyn F.

    Nice decor. Friendly bartender. Cocktails were tasty. Guac lacked flavor & portion was small. The diablo hot sauce was spicy & enjoyable. Clean restroom.

    Margarita flight and fish tacos
    Justine S.

    Always such great food, drinks, and service! I don't go to 16th street often but when I do this is my favorite place. The margarita flight is so much fun! My mom says the fish tacos are the best she's ever had.

    Kristen C.

    Great spot for a quick bite! A chain feel and huge menu. Food was good and the service was pretty quick! No one else really in the place! The flight of margaritas was tasty!

    Absolutely Exceptional…read more Jack's on Pearl exceeded every expectation. As Texas transplants, we've enjoyed some incredible steakhouses over the years and have traveled extensively, but this was truly one of the best dining experiences we've had. We even drove up from Colorado Springs for our 18th wedding anniversary, and it was worth every mile. We started with the wedge salad, which was fresh, crisp, and packed with flavor--easily one of the best wedge salads we've ever had. The warm bread service was incredible and paired perfectly with the house-made spreads. The mac and cheese was rich, creamy, and absolutely unforgettable. The highlight of the evening was the Wagyu steak topped with cheesy potato croquettes. It was cooked to perfection and so tender it practically melted in your mouth. Every bite was packed with incredible flavor and was one of those dishes you continue talking about long after the meal is over. What impressed us most was that every single item we ordered was exceptional. The quality of the ingredients, attention to detail, presentation, atmosphere, and service were all top-notch. After reading some of the reviews beforehand, we weren't sure what to expect. In our experience, this restaurant is incredibly underrated. Our meal, service, and overall experience were outstanding from start to finish. If you're looking for a special dinner, anniversary celebration, or simply one of the best meals you'll have in Colorado, Jack's on Pearl is absolutely worth the visit. We will definitely be back and will be recommending it to friends and family. Thank you to the entire team for making our 18th anniversary so memorable. -- Andrea & Sergio

Well-presented and delicious! We then ordered the Nantucket Risotto (only been on the menu for 2 weeks), the Blue Island Diver's Platter (ask for the octopus), a Happy Hour Crispy Slider and Fish Taco. We combined this with a glass of white wine and red wine. The meal was absolutely fabulous and we then finished this spectacular meal with sharing a key lime pie.

I will say for the oyster deal it has been good, but sometimes the oysters aren't cleaned well. Again a hit and miss. The ambiance is nice and soothing, very ocean blue. We have also tried some sides and other entrees. The shrimp entree was good but lacked some salt. The burger was amazing with the bacon jam and always have the best shoestring fries. I also got an order of the crispy rice that has a salmon and a tuna. The salmon was way too sweet and had a fishy aftertaste that I disliked. The truffle tuna was definitely the better one of the two. However, the rice itself was absolutely mushy and not necessarily crispy. It also didn't have the best flavor. Desserts tried were the olive oil orange cake and the brownie. both are OK and nice and sweet, but not something I would spend money on Overall, truly think this place is a hit and miss. Just depends on the night.

The waiter had the kitchen split the salad for us. First, the French onion soup was a bowl but it was very good. I like getting the soup at all the restaurants we go to to see how well they are made. This one was very good. The wedge salad was good and it had chunks of blu cheese which I like. My wife had the teriyaki salmon. She said it was very good and would get it again. I had a filet with a lobster tail. The steak was cooked medium rare as I asked for so they did a great job with that and the lobster was good as it's a lobster. Now for the side we got and highly recommend the black truffle Mac & cheese. I don't know how to describe it but it was good. We also got the Parmesan broccolini which was cooked on a grill and was good. To finish the evening we ordered the crème brûlée. It has seasonal fruit that my wife ate and I had the cream dessert. It was much bigger than what I was expecting. Overall this was a great dinner and if I am in Denver again I would come back.

The service was just okay for a restaurant with four dollar signs (should be five). I expect the very best food and service at this price point. I've had better service at family style restaurants. The goat cheese ravioli was good, but not worth $23. We also tried the Brussels, smoked Gouda tater tots, and the steak tartare, neither were exceptional. $10 for a mediocre, small, lukewarm bread basket is insane when you are already paying crazy prices to eat there. It should at least be fresh and hot. I tried the Blackened Snapper with Corn Spoon Bread, Haricot Verts, Red Pepper, Corn Emulsion. It was delicious and cooked well. Although it is pretty easy to make something taste good when it's literally swimming in a butter sauce pond. All in all it was an okay experience but was the most expensive food I've ever had. It was definitely not worth the almost $900 we spent for 7 people. I usually try to stick to family owned and small businesses, because corporate chains always seem to disappoint, and this one was not an exception. There are much better options at this price point in Denver.
