About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for happy hour
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!

    Enjoyed the ‘restaurant week’ options and was thoroughly impressed — fresh dishes, wonderful service and great atmosphere. Loved the trout dip and key lime pie! Will be returning next time I’m in the Cherry Creek area.

    Celebrated a friend's birthday on a weekday's lunchtime. Kendall, our server, exceeded our expectations. We really appreciated the fresh pot of coffee at no charge! Food and drinks were phenomenal. Even engaged in a memorable conversation with the manager. Highly recommend!

    Blue Island oyster bar is always a great experience. The food is fabulous, annd this trip was no exception. Loved my surf and turf, and you really should try the smoked trout dip. It was definitely busy, but the staff were great and kept things moving even through the craziness of restaurant week.

    "Trout dip" was unidentifiable and tasteless. Sea bass was okay, but I've had better. Desserts--key lime pie and blood orange cake(?)-- were completely blah and amateurish. (But to be fair, the desserts tasted somewhat better 24 hours later as leftovers.)
