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!

Think it is overrated and somewhat overpriced. Our food was good but not great when compared to NE seafood. Monday’s are $1 raw oysters day, but that only applies to the one oyster they choose, but still a great deal seeing the usual price is ~$4.00 @. I had the NE lobster role and it was pretty small on a brioche roll with good fries for $36 ! In Denver for the same seafood I think Water Grill is clearly better for the same $$$s. In all respects. The oysters I had for $1 @ were good but I believe they gave me a mix rather than the same species, not a good practice. Waiter was not attentive and looking for the larger tables=‘bigger tips ,

We went in for fathers day. Our server took so long to check on us. The drink my husband ordered just tasted like a water down mule. They didn't have the manila clams with pasta available which is what we wanted to get so we ordered the bacon wrapped scallops. not very impressed with the dish because the shrimp and scallops were dry. Calamari and brussels were ok...just tasted sweet and one note.

We tend to eat dinner early (~5:00 p.m.) and a lot of happy hour folks were there enjoying themselves. The noise level is exceedingly high as there is little to buffer the sound. We could have chosen to eat outside, but as older people, the heat is a bit tough. It was a birthday celebration, so overall it was good.

Oysters were great, and I was prepared for the price of those, but thought that the entrees, though tasty, were on the high side as far as value. A good vibe in the place but could use some sound dampening decor. The ceiling sets of oars are attractive but only amplify the conversation noise.

A patron had an accident in the bathroom and instead of sanitizing/cleaning, the management decided to close the only “women” bathroom to other patrons for the rest of the evening and leave the mess there on the floor. (I missed the sign and entered by accident, as the door was not locked.) Additionally, wait times for food were long and staff seemed tired/disinterested— like they aren’t treated well. I won’t return.

Maybe we caught the restaurant on an off day, but the service was painfully slow. They weren't that busy and they seemed to have adequate staffing. Took 45+ minutes from the time we sat down to get lunch for 2 with no drinks from the bar. Didn't order anything crazy - 1 fried fish sandwich and 1 lunch special. Food was good, but not worth that wait.

The service was good, food was good but the portions were a bit small for the prices they were charging. We ordered the sea bass which came with a side for $49. When asked the how big the portion was he said “it would feed two people for sure” it was probably 2oz-4oz at most lol The oysters have been getting smaller and smaller even for happy hour prices.

We have going to the Blue Island Oyster Bar since it opened. The food is ultra-fresh seafood harvested from the south shore of Long Island. Since I am a native of Long Island, this is as close as I get to my favorite seafood, including clams!

The staff is great. They missed putting in some of our food order, and took car of some things on our tab. We were not even upset, because we were casually hanging out. Also the person who forgot to put our order in came over and apologized, it was very professional and nice, and honestly a little brave to own up to it. We love this place and will come back. Everyone is great. Food even better.
