Media Tasting - Jax Fish House Glendale

I was exclusively invited to a media tasting for the opening of Jax Fish House in Glendale. I was treated to an extensively decadent lunch that consisted of multiple courses and great company. Writers from WestWord and 5280 joined me in reviewing this up-and-coming hotspot. Glendale's Jax not only features fresh "dock-to-door" seafood that is sent from Florida and Maine daily, but also has a rooftop bar with beautiful views of the Rocky Mountains. Jax is known for its fine and fresh foods and Glendale's chef De Cuisine, Duane Walker, upholds this tradition. The service was impeccable and the food even better.
