   If you’re looking for a good seafood joint this would work. The service was excellent, the prices were a bit high. If you want to hear or be heard, this isn’t the place.

   I made the mistake of going during Denver Restaurant Week. I made a reservation not knowing it was DRW, but my daughter was home from college, and we wanted to go here. I like this restaurant, and usually have a great experience, but on this occasion I felt rushed through the meal. At one point, we had no room on our tiny 2-top because they brought the oysters at the same time as the first course. Then, while we were still enjoying the oysters, the main dishes arrived. Could they have made it any more obvious that they were trying to turn the table?! Lesson learned - I’ll avoid BIOB during “restaurant week”.

   Loyalty customer. Restaurant week special. Apps very good(Calamari & Smoked Trout). Desserts were good but sample size. New England Lobster Roil was over dressed with Mayo & celery. Lettuce filled the small roll…minimal lobster. Lobster was minced not in chunks…so hardly any flavor . My favorite slaw was notably lacking the tarragon and no flavor. Come here frequently for the lobster roll…even take out & this by far was not up to their standard quality. We went early so that’s not an excuse for poor quality food. Service is always great. Very dissatisfied for quality and value.

   Came here with friends for restaurant week and had a great experience. Everything was cooked well. We didn't care for the potato dish that was served with the Surf & Turf but otherwise, it was great. The cocktail menu is very nice and our server was excellent. It is a bit noisy but still the experience was great.

   Everyone enjoyed the evening. 2 of 3 meals were 5 stars. One meal was ordered and it was not what the person thought they were getting and was a little disappointing The menu description was not as clear as it could have been. If someone was looking for a plate of fried food they would have loved it. The server was great.

   We went during Denver restaurant week where a 3 course meal was $45 per person. Food was very tasty. Service was a little slow probably because the restaurant was packed. Food was very good. We had grilled oysters, surf and turf and a lobster roll. If you like seafood this is definitely a place worth eating at.

    Just did Denver Restaurant Week to give Blue Island a try. What a great decision! Their menu, service, presentation and flavors were among the best I've had. Sure, they were really busy for a Wednesday, but it didn't change the quality of service or quality of the food. Great teamwork on the floor with servers, food runners and table bussers! The regular menu is more pricey, than restaurant week, but I will return for the fine experience we had tonight.
