The atmosphere is just a gem, a truly unique treat for the Wash Park neighborhood. It's cozy in winter with the fireplace in the front room. It's hopp'n during warmer seasons with the open concept of garage doors onto the side patio and the accordion doors in the front bar for all the fresh breezes. The tiki bar is fantastic for private parties and special occasions. But, that's just the layout. I love meeting friends there because it's reasonably priced, has a great happy hour, is central to downtown, and consistent with food as well as service. For someone who only eats chicken and seafood, that's another reason I enjoy this place and their oysters.

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

Our server, Malik, was so professional, courteous, engaging, gave us great suggestions and our meal experience was even better with him as our server! We ordered the Happy Hour cocktails of lemon drop martinis and a regular martini. Ordered a half-dozen of the Pearl oysters and they were so yummy, we ordered another half-dozen. 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. Once again, Malik made this meal even better with his genuine smile, attentiveness and efficiency. Make sure you sign up for their Loyalty Rewards program and they offer a great inexpensive weekday 3-course Power Lunch.

Went in on Saturday night for the late night oyster deal…read more The service has been hit or miss. Sometimes it's good other times absolutely terrible. 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.

We were seated quickly, our server was attentive and friendly, and everyone seemed genuinely happy to help. The menu offered plenty of choices, and everything we ordered was delicious. The flavors were balanced, the ingredients tasted fresh, and every plate arrived at the perfect temperature. It's obvious that the kitchen takes pride in what they serve. Even the drinks were prepared perfectly and paired well with our meal. The atmosphere was another highlight. The restaurant was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had a relaxed vibe that made us want to stay longer. It felt welcoming without trying too hard, which made the experience even better. I rarely leave reviews, but this place truly deserves one. It's refreshing to find a restaurant where the quality of the food, the level of service, and the overall experience all come together so well. I will definitely be returning and recommending this place to friends and family.

A wonderful experience. Took my daughter out for daddy and daughter time, and we were very happy…read more Inside was very nice showcasing mermaids and other theme-appropriate decor. Service was excellent. Our waitress had high positive energy and staff worked as a team. Minor mistakes were no big deal, and somewhat charming and impressive in the way it was handled. Sourdough bread for starters. I made the silly mistake of scraping off the top of the butter and getting an incredibly salty bite. The next time, I stuck my knife into the butter and scooped some out. That was much better. I got the burger and fries, which were fine and on par for what I would expect at a nice establishment. The mac and cheese side was okay, maybe a little disappointing. The filet mignon was cooked so perfectly. Maybe sous vide? Just executed incredibly well. Shrimp, I wasn't crazy about. It tasted like shrimp and it was good, I guess. The sauce that came with the steak was killer on my burger. We don't sauce our steak, so I experimented on burger because it came with steak anyway. Sauce was like some sort of concoction with worcestershire (spelling?). Maybe if you get a burger, ask for steak sauce haha. Chocolate lava cake was what anyone might expect... tasty crowd pleaser. Quite chocolatey. Daughter was extremely impressed and kept telling me to take mommy here. I'll probably just bring the whole family here next time.

I visited Salt Water Social today for dinner and was not really impressed. For the price point, I…read morefelt like everything was under delivered from the food to the atmosphere. They are going for a fine dining theme but it is closer to nicer casual with fine dining prices. Upon walking in, there was an electric violinist that was doing covers of rap and pop songs. It was off putting to say the least. Then half way through our dinner, the electric violinist was swapped out for a DJ that was doing remixes of again rap and pop songs. It was all too loud in my opinion as well. The food was very mediocre. We started off with sourdough bread and salted butter. The bread had a very very hard exterior. Next were the west coast oysters... at $5/oyster! That's probably some of the highest prices I've paid for oysters and they were decent but had a lot of shell chips within the oysters. The butternut squash ravioli was good but overly rich to my taste; I was only able to eat a few due to how rich it was. The clam chowder base was tasty but there were barely any clams in it. We decided to splurge a little and ordered the tomahawk steak with lobster. It was interesting. I've never had a steak so expensive but so flavorless. I think they were trying to minimize the amount of seasoning on it to accentuate the steak's natural flavor but it just did not have any. The lobster was good. The vegetables had a cheap sauce taste to it. Asparagus was decent. The service was good. Eloise was our server and she did a good job with her recommendations and checking in on us. Although I did feel like she was a bit too casual for the fine dining theme they're striving for.

This is such a nice place to get drinks and dinner with friends. The vibe is warm and cozy…read more There is a small parking lot next to the restaurant but it can fill up but there is a good amount of street parking in the area. Happy hour is from 4-6 every day and the deals are great. The quesabirria and the camarones al aljillo were delicious. I have been here before for their molcajetes and those were excellent as well, and good for sharing. They do have a small covered patio area which is adjacent a busy street. Service is consistently good. One of my favorite places for a drink and a bite in the area!

2nd time, previously last summer for breakfast. I walk by here all the time. I noticed on the…read morespecials menu also posted outside that they offered Manhattan style Clam Chowder. The bowl had plenty of clams and potatoes in a spicy tomato base. Good price of $11 for a large bowl.

Generous amount of chicken and yummy fot $15. I added a can of Diet Coke. The one server, Desiree P took my order and delivered the food. Brightly lit space with orange metal chairs and cast iron base tables. Free cold water to serve yourself. Hot water also for tea. Restrooms are in the building basement accessible by elevator and access code. When I arrived, only 2 of 6 tables were empty. Several other parties came & went, including a food delivery svc.

This was our first time here, saw it had great reviews so why not come by and try something new. We…read morewere seated immediately despite it being so packed on a Monday night without reservations. The place is cozy, homey, and welcoming when you walk in. The concept of it being inside a home is very interesting. The food here is amazing especially their Caesar Salad. That salad was so delicious we wanted to order some to go. Now the reason why this place is getting three stars because 1. The service here is horrible! 15-25 minute wait for our server to come back around and check in on us. It wasn't just us either but it was everyone else in the room. Saw a couple that waited about 25 minutes just to be checked up on after being seated. We also never asked for our bill yet and it was given to us without us asking. We wanted to order more food after our entree. Hence why we never got to order our Caesar salad. 2. This one was the most disappointing part of our dinner. We ordered tiramisu for our dessert, once served I noticed a glossy chunky on it, assuming it was maybe crystallized sugar. Wrong. It was a chunk of ice!! The tiramisu WAS STILL FROZEN!! For 12 bucks I can get some better tiramisu at king soopers, Safeway, or any other restaurant honestly. 3. There was an ant in my drink, and we weren't compensated for that. We paid 4 dollars for an ant drink.

Great dinner at Toro Latin Kitchen with a large group, and everyone left happy…read more We started with the sweet corn empanadas, the clear highlight of the apps, sweet, warm, and perfectly crisp on the outside. Beef tartare was close behind, finely diced and well-seasoned. The guacamole was fresh and chunky, the prawns had a nice char, and the Amarillo ceviche brought a bright, citrusy heat from the aji amarillo peppers that balanced beautifully against the cool, tender fish. But the real highlight of the night was the steaks. My skirt steak was cooked perfectly, well-charred outside and tender inside, paired with the potatoes three ways, crispy, creamy, and roasted, each with its own texture and seasoning. Even better was the tomahawk ribeye, flambéed tableside in mezcal, a great bit of theater with a smoky, slightly sweet flame that infused the meat. I got lucky enough to try a bite. Rich, buttery, and delicious with heavy rosemary. A real treat. Service was a bit spotty for our group. I won't go into details, but our server disappeared for long stretches and it took a long time to finally get our entrees. This was likely because of our specific server.
