They partner with Rappahannock Oyster Company in Virginia to offer their own proprietary oysters, which says a lot about their commitment to quality. This was the third location I've visited in their group, and this one is conveniently located near Union Station Denver in downtown Denver. It's a great stop if you're in the area. I follow them on social media and they occasionally run some really good specials. One thing I like is that they change their menus frequently, so it feels like you can try something different every time you visit. On this trip I had the Salmon Kushiyaki -- teriyaki, crispy skin, and broccolini gomae -- and it was excellent. The staff was friendly, service was smooth, and they also have a solid beer selection. Overall, a dependable seafood spot with quality ingredients and a menu that keeps things interesting.

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

Omg. We LOVED Jacks! We got there early and were happy to…read moreget 2 seats at the bar. This seems to be a popular spot, so I recommend a reservation or early arrival. We ordered the salmon Sashimi to start (epic), the Hipster Wedge salad, (yummmm) and the filet Champion style. THAT was one of the best steaks we have ever eaten. Incredible. The service was outstanding, the lighting/ ambiance were perfect. Pearl Street in Denver is a cool little district to walk around when the weather is nice too. Loved the area! We will be back!

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.

The spice level was just right, the seafood was fresh and plump- none of that "rinky-dink why am I paying for this" stuff! The service was great, and it's a cute spot right off of Colfax. Don't let the construction deter you!

And from what we heard from someone living in the neighborhood who frequents this spot, their wings are good too! I recommend this spot. It's a hot spot, so maybe call ahead for a reservation!

I'm from the Bay Area me and friend went here to celebrate my birthday…read more It was both our first time eating at Ocean Prime Denver. After reading all the reviews, It did not disappoint. We were immediately greeted by host and asked for a table outside, but when it started to drizzle they accommodated us to inside no issues. Ben was our server, was very knowledge of menu. Often checked with us with a smile. We started with the goat cheese ravioli. Yum! We both had the fillet mignon steaks cooked to perfection. The baked potatoes were soft, fluffy buttery. I recommend the brussels sprouts for some greens. We were too full to eat dessert but Ben took care of this and provided a comped bday carrot cake for me to take home to enjoy. But why no happy birthday song bro??? Bottom line Great Service Great Food. Nuff said, just book your reservation already!

The meal began with complimentary truffle popcorn, a thoughtful touch that was absolutely delicious. For starters, we enjoyed the Caesar salad and french onion soup, both of which were outstanding. The Caesar was fresh and flavorful, while the french onion soup was rich, comforting, and perfectly prepared. For my entrée, I ordered the sea bass with truffle oil, and it was cooked to perfection. The fish was incredibly tender and flavorful, and the truffle oil elevated the dish beautifully without overpowering it. The Black Orchid Martini was equally impressive--a perfect balance of tart and sweet, refreshing and expertly crafted. It was easily one of the best cocktails I've had. A special thank you to our server, Mark, who made the experience even more memorable. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, offered excellent recommendations, and provided attentive, professional service throughout the meal. Between the lovely patio setting, outstanding food and drinks, and exceptional service, this was a truly five-star experience. I can't wait to return!

We will return... probably sooner than later. We also got some curly fries and those were great too. Happy they have IPAs! Karen was our server and was absolutely amazing.

I had requested a garlic flavoring with a mild touch. I have to say I was very disappointed to get scallops with no flavor enhancements, say with like some old bay. The sauce was very bland and even the garlic butter had no flavor at all. Everything is sold by the pound with a very limited menu. I got the scallops with a side of 3 red potatoes with no flavorings. As if this was not already a sub par meal, the waitstaff were extremely slow and seemed to be in no rush to wait on me. $45.00 including tip ( I'm not a bad sport) For a lack luster attempt at Cajun cuisine. I would not recommend this restaurant.

Clean, chilly (from all the fish on ice) with. Coastal maritime flair. Do yourself a favor next time you are in the 32nd & Lowell neighborhood; stop in and have some food from the sea for supper.
