    Mini boil. All in sauce. Hot spicy
    Alexanria J.

    Pretty spacious restaurant with limited parking space (recommend carpooling). Very delicious seafood boil. We got the "all in" sauce. Tried mini boil. 1lb of shrimp and 1lb of baby clam. The "alll in" is very flavorful. A lot of garlic, cajun, and sweet and savory lemon. I was a bit disappointed when the baby clam on the TV menu on the screen was $16 per lb but they charged $18 on the receipt (for both of us). When we asked our server, she said the price went up. She updated receipt back down to $16 and told us that the cost actually went up. If the market price has been updated, they should be updating their own menu on display instead of over charging their customers without proper price on display.

    Came here for my husband's birthday, and I just had a feeling it was going to be good the minute I walked in. We were promptly seated, and a waitress quickly came out to take our order. We honestly did not have to wait long at all for our food and soju to come out, which was surprising for a Saturday evening. We shared The Boil with Asian Cajun sauce, which was perfect for two people (we had enough to take home as well). It came with a variety of items including crawfish, shellfish, potatoes, corn, and Andouille sausage. The snow crab was definitely the star of the show, but everything tasted amazing. The sauce was incredibly flavorful and delicious, and I'm glad we went with the medium spice level. I highly recommend coming here and can't wait to return in the future!

    I ordered the Baby Clam Pasta for delivery. What I got was a container full of noodles covered in sauce and about 15 baby clams in the shell. The only problem was that over half the clam shells were empty.

    One of the longest restaurants of its kind in the Denver area. Glad to finally visit. Our friend is a lover of Louisiana and its food. When he recommended the Crawfish Etouffe I know it would not be a mistake getting it. And it wasn't. The dish was so flavorful, it's the fastest I've downed rice. Sauce so creamy and the best part was we didn't have to work on deshelling crawfish! For lazy rice and seafood lovers! After seeing pictures on Toast (their ordering and check out platform) I was convinced I must get the Loaded Fries. They were good, but portion was a bit small for the price. Hubby and I were really excited to try the Twin Lobsters. I asked for some sides like corns and sausages (but specified no potatoes) since the Twin Lobsters didn't come with any sides in the bag. I was told $4 which was fine but all we got were two pieces of corn sections that didn't even make up a ear of corn; and 3 pieces of sausages that couldn't have been 1/5 of a link. The lobster tails were very flavorful, full of minced garlic. But they were definitely over-cooked. Shame. Our friend got the Cajun Ramen and seemed to have really enjoyed it. He took his time and was sniffling at all despite finishing a big bowl of piping hot noodle soup. Slurp!

    Crawfish boil,really fresh (;

    This was my first crawfish boil, and I have to say it will definitely not be my last! The food was perfectly spiced, and tasted so fresh. Lexi & I both ordered two pounds of crawfish each and it was the perfect amount for a late lunch. Lexi is from New Orleans and has had her fair share of crawfish boils! Overall a great example of fresh seafood done right! Dan & Lexi

    It was an experience. We had been looking forward to trying the Asian Cajun for about two years. We drove past but never when it made sense to stop. Finally we planned a double date dinner and off we went. We visited mid week so parking in their lot worked out just fine. I believe there are two doors. A front and a side one. We used the side one. Our server was fine. Not very helpful and pretty lax on refilling drinks or checking on us after delivering items. We started with the wrong shrimp. This was our own fault. My poor BIL was up to his elbows in shrimp ickies and really tried to push through. We finally just ordered more of the headless, deveined shrimp so everyone could eat. Let's chat about this for a minute. We went with medium heat and three of the four of us burned our faces off. We switched to mild (the next step down) for the next pound and it was so very bland. A hint of garlic and citrus. The star of the show was lackluster. Mix the medium and the mild and I think you could have a good sauce on your hands. We tried the fried alligator and it was served in nice sized pieces but those pieces had next to no flavor. Their Cajun fries were yummy. Frozen French fries that I would eat again. We actually ordered a second basket of fries. The sausage and potatoes in the bags fine. A little mushy but fine. I didn't try the corn. We ended up adding a shrimp and garlic pasta to the table to fill up those who definitely didn't eat enough and it was served lukewarm with that similar blandness throughout. For $150ish, we left with a lot of laughs, bored tastebuds and I tore my coat sleeve on the side door's push plate. It was jagged, I didn't see it and ripped a hole right in my new coat. Once was enough for me.

    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

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.

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.

It wasn't salty which we kind of expected. The prices were very reasonable and we're glad we don't have to go all the way to Denver to get this type of food anymore.

I was really disappointed and declined a third attempt, as recooking the same piece of meat completely defeats the purpose. What saved the review entirely was the exceptional service recovery. My initial server was incredibly kind, apologized, and offered a complimentary glass of Sauvignon Blanc. She had to take a break, and another server, Tyler, manned the section. After hearing about the situation, Tyler recommended a birthday dessert, which I happily accepted, and it was indeed tasty. I expected much more from a Michelin-recommended restaurant, but the two servers completely redeemed the evening by graciously comping the meal to make up for the dull kitchen experience.
