    Fish and chips
    Andrea J.

    Cool east Coast place in Wash Park. The prices were good and the food was hot and tasty. Cocktails were great priced too. Wait staff was nice and attentive. I had the fish and chips and my friend had the lobster roll. Curious if they have live bands, it would be a cool place to have them and hang out.

    Shrimp Scampi
    Kara S.

    My husband and I came here the other night to celebrate our two week break from work after discovering they are a part of the Bilt rewards network our landlord Greystar participates in. We get 3x points towards our rent for using partner vendors, such as Lyft, as well. I had been once before as a guest to my friend's daughter's birthday dinner and had the fish and chips. It was great so I thought let's try them again! I'm from NYC and I was craving seafood but my fav Jax in Glendale closed apparently and I didn't want to go to Cherry Creek and pay half my paycheck. Well.. this place has either gone downhill or I should just stick to fish and chips. I ordered the $27 Cioppino and my husband ordered the special $23 Shrimp Scampi. Both flavorless and the seafood was overcooked. Was most definitely NOT flown in fresh like some other places (Rioja, Stoic and Genuine e.g.). The Maryland style crab cakes were not lump and just looked pathetic. Even the special holiday cocktail was pretty bad, too much cranberry juice. Our waitress was lovely and I love the rustic ambiance but it's not enough to justify the prices and the $26 I spent to get a Lyft here from our 9&Co apartment.

    Fish and chips (a little overcooked but perfect crust) and crawfish omelette.

    Best seat in town? The two high tops next to the front windows, which open wide floor to ceiling, is the perfect place to enjoy a street festival and people watch on the street. Today I had the crawfish omelette. What a great combo of Cajun and French culture--very crawfishy flavor combined with the fluffy eggs and the sauce was perfect. As always, the service is attentive.

    This place has never disappointed me in any way. Its casual atmosphere is inviting for any size party with your family or friends or even your date. Seafood that tastes good at affordable prices is what people can go for here. I appreciate the generous Happy Hour menu. Everyday from 3pm to 6pm. With $2 off ALL appetizers, you can share some plates with others as most of them are a good portion. House wines are $5 during HH; if you like white wines go for the refreshing Sauvignon Blanc that is of great quality. Our waiter, Laurent F was so easygoing with us. Attentive, prompt are words I use to describe him as an efficient waiter with very little effort. It was a quick early dinner for us at 4:30pm and we lacked nothing during the time we were there. Shrimp Ceviche was good. I don't necessarily say that it was the best kind I've ever had and yet it surely didn't disappoint us. Max Mussels are a must order item from the menu as it's a good portion. Make sure to eat the soup at the bottom of the bowl once you're done with the mussels; you may have to order more bread to soak it in it!

    Alaskan Cod Fish and Chips (this order came with three pieces)
    Evelyn C.

    Ordered take out for from max gill and grill. I have mixed reviews on our order. We ordered two of the fish and chips and an order of the calamari. The calamari was good in flavor although some pieces were really rubbery which was disappointing because of the inconsistency and we were a bit disappointed that more than half of the order were mostly fried peppers and not actual calamari. The fish and chips were our biggest disappointment. Usually when you Think of fish and chips, you imagine your fillets of fish and fries. We, however, got more so like fish sticks size pieces. My husbands order had three pieces and mine had only two. I do have to say the flavor was bomb (soooo good abs well seasoned), perfectly cooked, however the size of two fish sticks and getting filled up with fries was a let down. Also it about $17.99 deff not worth it.

    Painkillers
    Sherri G.

    I went with a friend for happy hour and was delighted by the experience! The atmosphere is warm and beachy, creating a great vibe for a relaxed outing. Our server, Savannah, was fantastic--she made excellent recommendations and was on top of everything! Their happy hour menu is solid, offering a wide range of food and drinks at reasonable prices, with $2 off all apps, specialty cocktails, and $2 oysters. I ordered a Painkiller, which was perfectly balanced--refreshing with just the right mix of juices and rum. My friend and I shared the French Dip sandwich, Lobster Flatbread, and a few happy hour oysters. The oysters were a bit small but very fresh. The sandwich and flatbread were both delicious, and the kitchen even split the sandwich for us without needing to ask, which we appreciated. They also have great specials throughout the week, like Beer and Burger Mondays, Tiki Tuesdays, Wine Brine and Beer Wednesdays, Thirsty Thursdays, and Hangover Happy Hour on Saturdays and Sundays. The menu is well-rounded and reasonably priced, with options for both seafood and non-seafood lovers. Oh, and happy hour lasts all day on Thursdays!

    Side of mac & cheese
    Jonna H.

    Service was fantastic and the restaurant is adorable. We visited on Thursday when they had an all day happy hour so well drinks were only $5 - great deal! We started with the baked Asiago crab dip and man, was it filling! We barely had room for actual dinner. Fun appetizer but not the best I've ever had. The hot lobster roll was alright, bread was light and pillowy and lobster was just fine. However, the french fries were perfectly crunchy. The fish tacos had a nice (possibly tempera) breading and were tasty. The asparagus side was pretty pathetic. Side of mac & cheese was large for the price and quite good! I'll be back during happy hour or a football game to order some other things on the menu and enjoy their TVs.

    This place has been on our "to go" list for a long time, however it wasn't actually until getting a discount through Offline we decided to go. Ambience is great, really a fun quirky place inside! Service was also good and very fast, however, our entrees came out WAY too fast as we were only partly through our appetizer. I got the key lime martini which was really tasty and my fiancé got a traditional margarita which was very strong! We then shared the mussels as our appetizer, and it's a really good amount! They were good, a few overly fishy ones but that was definitely the minority. We then got the shrimp po boy which was massive with old bay fries, and the green chile lobster Mac and cheese, which was all really yummy! I would return again and am definitely interested in sitting in another room because they all look so fun and unique!

    This will likely be my last review for 2024, and I couldn't be happier it was here! We have been coming here for over 10 years for mostly special occasions, but also for just great food and cozy atmosphere. I find it unique because there is an island/dockside feel to the place, but a cozy warm place in the winter. No matter what the season, they do a wonderful job taking care of us and serving up awesome food! Noise level for a Monday at 5pm was very tolerable, even as the place started getting busier. Easy to hear each other and chat. My all time favorite here is the lobster Mac & Cheese with hatch green chili. It is the best I have had anywhere (including Maine.) Usually there is enough to take home, but since it has been awhile, I took no hostages. Parking can be a challenge and I would recommend leaving yourself plenty of time to drive around to find a spot. There were plenty of lucky folks that got good places, but it was when I was driving the other way. This is one of those places you can wear comfortable clothes, shorts, tees or your suit and anything in between. I have never felt out of place because of what I had on. Check it out, this place is one of my top favorites!

    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.

    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.

I ordered a gin and Yuzu Curaçao cocktail that came in a martini glass with a hydrogen bubble on top. Every time I try to take a picture it would pop right before I could do it! Kenny came to my rescue starting a new bubble at least five times so I could get the right video! The drink was solid and I would definitely order it again. Great wine list Kenny took care of my wine choice for me when I wasn't sure what to get by asking my preferences and suggesting three choices. A prefixed meal was ordered by the event planner, which gave us an awesome sampling of the sesame crusted Aji tuna over the best fried rice rice ever! I couldn't stop eating the rice, which was frustrating because I wanted to eat other things too! The chicken was tender and served with a lovely, light sauce. The mashed potatoes were decadent with a cheesy topping. The asparagus was grilled to perfection. Oh, and the appetizers were fantastic too. There was a delicious Caesar salad and some kind of cheesesteak eggrolls that were addictive. The desserts included a type of bananas, Foster, I believe and the most amazing chocolate lava cake, and a pineapple upside down cake. All were decadent and delicious. I am saving this restaurant for my guest to come to town with discriminating restaurant taste!

We started with the calamari with was tasty but noticed the breading kept falling off the rings. I kept having to scoop the fallen breading out of the dipping sauce. For entrees, I got the mussels and linguine and my husband got the chicken piccata. Every mussel in my dish had meat in it which was nice but I felt like the overall dish was missing something as it was quite acidic tasting.. maybe some cream? The chicken piccata was pretty good, with mushrooms, artichokes, carrots, broccolini, and capers. My husband doesn't really like mushrooms or artichokes so I had a few bites of those and they were tasty. He said the dish reminded him of "old world piccata" and not the modern dish he was expecting of just chicken, capers, and pasta. But he said he did enjoy it. Service was slow and we did hear the next table have some complaints and their bill was comped. We did wait a bit between each course and for the server to appear for the bill. Overall, Odyssey restaurant was ok. The vibe is very cool as it is a converted home.
