We don't take ourselves too seriously at Jax Fish House. Two things we do take seriously? The freshness and sustainability of our seafood. You know fresh fish when you see, smell, and taste it-and thanks to modern delivery technology, we bring in that freshy-fresh seven days a week. Sustainability is a little more complicated. Not all commercial fisheries are created equal. That's why we work closely with our suppliers and science-based organizations to ensure that every single thing we serve is responsibly sourced. We consider the stocks of the species we source to prevent overfishing and we work with suppliers who harvest in ways that have minimal impacts on marine environments.

    Our dinner at Bistro Nautile was great. We shared an appetizer of ahi tuna eggroll, I had a house green salad and then bouillabaise. My husband had Scottish salmon. The salad and both entrees were excellent and the bread a companying the bouillabaise was tasty; the egg roll casing was a little underdone but otherwise it was good. I don't think Bistro Nautile is a whole lot different from its previous iteration (Fish) which is good as far as I am concerned. The ambience is warm and friendly and the place has personality. I'd say it is a much better option than Jax Fishhouse, also in Old Town Fort Collins.

    The waitress was phenomenal! Went for my partners birthday and we were sat at a table with a large “happy birthday!” Written in beautiful cursive on the table! Our waitress greet us and immediately wished my partner a happy birthday. She proceeded to check on us often (I’d say about every 10 minutes) I know sometimes people don’t like this but I felt very well respected and like she was being attentive and not naggy. At the end of the delicious meal our desert was comped for my partners birthday! Couldn’t have wished for a better birthday dinner for someone who means so much to me. Thank you!

    Our family of four adults had a wonderful Christmas Eve dinner at Sonny’s. From the appetizers to the salads to the entrees, the food was cooked perfectly. I liked that the kitchen will split salads without having to do it yourself at the table. The filets (one with a cognac peppercorn sauce and one served Oscar-style) were perfectly cooked. I can’t remember when I had such a flavorful and tender steak. A highlight of our dinner was our exceptional server, Tatiana. She was professional, knowledgeable about all aspects of the menu and had a terrific personality. It is nice when you have a server who obviously loves her job. Tatiana’s assistant/busser was a very diligent young man who did a great job keeping up with the turnover of tables. I have never had a sub-par experience at Sonny’s. It is a favorite restaurant and I look forward to dining there again soon.
