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!

    Great service and delicious food. We were celebrating 2 birthdays and this place did not disappoint! Highly recommend Blue Island Oyster Bar if you’re looking for a nice assortment of surf and turf options. It’s a little pricey but worth it for quality seafood.

    First visit. The hostess could be friendlier and more accommodating. Wobbly table. We asked for a different table and were told the empty tables were for bigger parties. There were two booths available and were not seated the whole time we were at the restaurant. Other than that the food was good and our server Noah was great. Nice ambiance and not too noisy. We’ll be back.

    Omar, thank you for giving us a try and for sharing your feedback. We're glad to hear that despite the initial hiccups with seating, you enjoyed our good food and found Noah's service great. Your insights are valuable to us, and we'll work on improving in those areas so your next visit is even better. We look forward to having you back soon!

    This is one of our favorite restaurants, but Thanksgiving dinner was a mistake. The scallops were excellent, but the squash risotto didn’t work for me (and it was lukewarm warm at best.) Oysters and deviled eggs excellent. But my wife’s traditional turkey etc was not up to their high standards. But we will be back
    Blue Island Oyster Bar - DenverResponded today
    Hey Jim, we're glad to hear to be one of your favorite spots for dining. But we apologize that our Thanksgiving dinner didn't meet the standards you were expecting - it's always disappointing when a special meal doesn't hit the mark. If you could kindly share more details with us at sean[at]shuckinggoodhospitality.com, we'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you for sticking with us, and we look forward to making your next visit just as enjoyable as your usual experiences. Hope to hear from you soon!

    Oysters were incredible, food was delicious, a couple minor mixups with order and being charged full price for glass of wine when it should’ve been discounted to happy hour, but nothing terrible to complain about. Always great place to eat.
