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!

    We had the Valentine’s Day menu for two people. The selections were outstanding, particularly the Caesar salad, clam chowder, the fish and pasta. The dessert was OK. The most outstanding part of the meal was the attention by our servers Ashley and Ben.

    It started off above the normal with getting notified that our table was ready. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I needed special help with my celiac disease, and they were knowledgeable about what was going to be needed to be modified for me. The food was very fresh and was prepared with extra care to keep it authentic. As a result, everything tasted great. We also enjoyed the ambiance of the place. We look forward to going back. The prices were on the higher side, but expected with the level of service we received.

    It was good, but we went there for their “shucker’s platter” which is shown on their website, but they don’t serve it.
