    Went with my husband for the restaurant week for the first time and it was an amazing experience. Everything was delicious. We will come back for sure.

    Bring a nautical attitude because this place will make you feel like you're a sailor in the North Atlantic. The happy hour is a solid deal and the food is wonderful. The curry mussels were fantastic.

    I love visiting this restaurant; it's one of my favorites! It's a bit pricey, but definitely worth every penny. We always used to get the gnocchi, but unfortunately, they discontinued it. However, they still have amazing dishes! We tried the shrimp and ahi tuna tacos, along with the corn chowder, which is hands down the best I've ever had. We also enjoyed the clam Thai dish with some bread. Plus, they offer oysters for just 99 cents after 9 PM, so we indulged in a few of those as well!

    One of my favorite restaurants. Truthfully I love both locations and their sister restaurant. Amazing to get awesome oysters right here in CO. Literally crave this place. Everything is delicious! Chowder, calamari, togarashi fries, fish, posters, caviar, salads, pasta, sandwiches, sushi... I think I've had most everything on the menu. Not too mention the truffle martini!!! I was really sad when they got rid of the rewards program, but I'll survive.

    Blue Island Oyster Bar in Cherry Creek is a lunchtime gem that brings a taste of the coast right into the heart of Denver. The seafood is impeccably fresh—whether you're diving into a platter of briny oysters, savoring the prosciutto-wrapped halibut, or twirling forkfuls of clam linguine, every bite feels like a seaside escape. The ambiance is breezy and elegant, with ocean-inspired tones and just the right amount of buzz to make it feel lively without being loud.

    Amazing experience on Wednesday afternoon with Jackson as our server. The lunch special is such a great deal, and so tasty! Jackson did a great job explaining the menu and was an absolute treat! If every restaurant had staff like Jackson I would eat out more often! Excellent work!

    Everything we ate was delicious. We almost went back a 2nd night but we decided to experiment at other places as well. We will most definitely go back.
