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!

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.
