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!

    Everything was great as usual except the lobster in the knuckle sandwich was not as good as it has been on several other visits. It almost appeared to be imitation lobster…

    They were gracious to accommodate us at a larger table when we first arrived. We had a 2 1/2 yr old along and they had a great kids menu. They also brought his food out right away. They made great suggestions on wine & oysters and accommodated all our food modification requests. The food was awesome. We had the scallops, blackened, with Brussels sprouts. And the clam chowder. As well as mahi blackened with a side of fried shrimp. We also enjoyed oysters & a Caesar salad. Everything was awesome, we will be back!
