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.

20/10 experience!…read more This is by far my favorite seafood boil spot in Denver... I've been to at least five others. 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!

King crab is our go to, so we hardly ever eat at these places, but when we do we love it. This had a nice mix of shrimp, dungeness and snow crab, sausage, and corn and potatoes. Their house sauce was delicious with a lot of garlic and lemon butter with the just enough spice, although a little mild for medium. 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!

We were in Denver and decided to try this place out. The food was common and there were enough…read morepictures so I didn't take any I am surprised they had bread as a paid appetizer but it looked good but I ended up getting French onion soup and sharing a wedge salad with my wife. 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.

Last visit during lunch was very good and wanted to try for dinner for a last minute celebration…read more Made a reservation using the Open Table which was very easy. I did want to let the restaurant know that it was for a birtday celebration but there was no place to put that info. However, when we checked in at the restaurant, our friendly hostess did ask which was wonderful. Took few moments to get to our table but they were busy setting it up for that special occasion. Our waiter was prompt greeting us and we ordered drinks and bread serivice. Our waiter was very nice but slow due to so many tables he was tending. This restaurant ran little different than the Eddie V's or Merlots. He did have assistance waiter (water person) but things were slow. At other locations, it was someone from the bar who delivered drinks but our waiter was doing that. Also, taking the dirty dishes were mostly handled by the waiter. This slowed down the actual things he should be doing like.. if we needed anything right after the food was delivered, checked on us more frequently..things like that. Overall food was very good, drinks were little bit expensive for the price being charged and slow service. At the end, he relized we were not a happy camper and wrapped up faster. Deffinetely will be back for that special occassion, drink and bread service repeated and may reorder the shellfish cobb salad.

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.

Ok... so maybe as a Houstonian I have been deprived of good crawfish. I miss eating this year…read moreround! But this was legit. We only came here because Asian Cajun didn't have live crawfish. We got XXX garlic cajun butter and it was amazing. It was juicy (bc suck the head) and flavorful. I always bring my own spice to dip in and we kept saying how good it was. 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. She helped guide us on our spice level and took such great care of us.

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.
