We’re more than oysters - we’re Colorado's best seafood restaurant! Opened 2017, this is Blue Island Oyster Bar & Seafood's flagship location. Our approach is to create honest food and drinks and serve them in a comfortable, casual environment. The restaurant’s culture is inspired by memories of growing up in coastal towns with families of oyster farmers and fishermen. Like them, we strive to bring you superb hospitality and delicious food with a commitment to the freshest seafood at reasonable prices. To ensure this commitment of quality, we’ve partnered with Chris Quartuccio of Blue Island Shellfish Farms in Long Island, NY to bring you nearly daily shipments of seasonal oysters and seafood, offering favorites such as Steamed Mussels, Lobster Rolls, Clam Chowder, Crab Cakes, and fish like halibut, Atlantic cod and salmon, to name a few. We invite you in for dock-to-dish dining at its best!

    I really liked the special they had here for NYE for food courses. The price was great. I am not a wine person but they also had bottles of wine for half price., which I assume any wine lover would take on this offer instantly. The two appetizers were bigger than I thought but for me, that’s always a plus. I had a Paloma for a drink. Let me tell you that I am always skeptical when ordering this drink as it’s always a hit or miss. This night, it was a hit. Give it one last mix before the first sip and it’s refreshing and well balanced with all its mixed components. As for the meals, the sizes were perfectly portioned and the presentation on the dish was beautiful. Kudos to the cooks! Our server was great, as they would come up to us with a smile and with no urge of pressure for getting something else, finishing up quick or getting out quick. Lastly, I mentioned on my reservation that it was my anniversary and they took the time to leave a kind card and thanking us for picking Blue Island Oyster as the place to share our night. I wouldn’t have wanted any other way as my girlfriend and I were happy, full and all around satisfied. Thank you everyone at Blue Island Oyster Bar - Denver for making our night a memorable one. We will definitely be back!

    Food was good but service was terrible. Waitress couldn’t be bothered for anything and was dismissive and unfriendly. Really ruined the experience.

    Great restaurant for fresh oysters & seafood based apps & entrees. Better value during happy hour, but regardless, this is not an inexpensive restaurant. Service is also consistently great. The high noise level discourages conversation and is my only issue.

    Always enjoy the food and service. We went in last night for the $1.31 Oysters, we ordered 12 and the cost was over $40 total. No one let us know that the offer is not for all Oysters. It is a great promotion but they need to be clear with their patrons.
