One of my favorite restaurants. Truthfully I love both locations and their sister restaurant. Amazing to get awesome oysters right here in CO. Literally crave this place. Everything is delicious! Chowder, calamari, togarashi fries, fish, posters, caviar, salads, pasta, sandwiches, sushi... I think I've had most everything on the menu. Not too mention the truffle martini!!! I was really sad when they got rid of the rewards program, but I'll survive.

Delicious seafood place. They have really good refreshing cocktails! I had the lobster roll. It was good, but I would have liked a little more flavor. The claim chowder was my favorite! They have seating inside and out. We went for lunch so it wasn't too crowded but if you go for dinner I suggest making a reservation. I will be returning to try more!

Located deep in the heart of Cherry Creek, this place has excellent service atmosphere and the food was delicious. The oyster selection was many and the drink was a delicious martini for us all. We sat outside and enjoyed the night buzz all around us.

We sat at the bar and Kendyll took great care of us. My Caesar salad and grilled salmon was perfect and so delicious. My husband absolutely loved his New York and Massachusetts oysters with a Connecticut lobster roll. Our drinks were delicious, and we were very thankful that we walked in for a late lunch. We highly recommend this restaurant.

Great food and atmosphere! The server was awesome and attentive. Jackson B. gave us free extra bread and when he delivered the wrong item, he gave it to use for free and brought the right item. Note: the happy hour menu prices are a little off. Just a dollar off. Ex: pineapple mule, menu: 9.50, charged 10.50, guavo Cosmo, menu: 10.50, charged 11.50.

This was our 3rd time visiting- because it’s just that good. We have not been disappointed once coming here! The service is excellent- and the food, is absolutely incredible. We visited on National Oyster day, so we took advantage of their $1 oysters. They were really fresh, big and the brine was spectacular. I got the Mahi mahi and the fish was seasoned to perfection. My boyfriend got the lobster roll and he loved it! I can’t recommend this restaurant enough, the prices are reasonable for the quality of food and service you’ll receive.

First time here, it was amazing! Our server Felix was very helpful in deciphering the menu for us and was very prompt in taking our order. The food was incredible and was all worth the price. It was a great experience and I would love to dine here again!

My buddy, Austin, and I hit up Blue Island for a late lunch today, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Kendyll was our bartender/server, and she was fantastic. Super attentive, and gave us some incredible recommendations—particularly for the oyster shooters. Will be back to visit Kendyll and the happy hour specials very soon!
