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!

The service is very good. The Monday $1.31 oysters are a deal. The other oysters are way too expensive. I have had the lobster and avocado salad a three times. The one I had recently was below average and way too expensive -- alot of bib lettuce and not much lobster or avocados.
Blue Island Oyster Bar - DenverResponded 6 days ago
Hi John, we're glad you appreciate our service and the Monday oyster deal! We're sorry to hear that your recent lobster and avocado salad didn't quite meet your expectations in terms of portion size or value. Your feedback is important to us, so if you could share more details with us at sean[at]shuckinggoodhospitality.com, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for bringing this to our attention - we hope to hear from you soon.

Prices seem to have moved higher since last visit, and it is impossible to find any relative value on the wine list for under $50/bottle, which is frustrating. Service and food quality remain very good.
