I use to come to this restaurant all the time mainly during their happy hour and for their gnocchi pasta. They no longer have the gnocchi pasta which was so disappointing as I felt that was one of the best items on the menu. When I recently went the service was great, but the quality in the food has significantly decline. I would recommend this place for the happy hour oysters or oysters on Mondays, but other than that all the other food was ok. If you're looking for a really good place for oysters I would recommend this place. The other seafood is just OK

I have been to this location of Blue Island several times and it always stays consistent. The food is always incredible. I love their happy hour. Their service sometimes is hit or miss though. This last time I went for their Lobster Roll Wednesday October special and our server was very attentive until he got other tables. Then he seemed to disappear. Someone else delivered the food and another person cleared our table. No sign of him. Normally I wouldn't mind too much but we were on lunch from work which caused us to be late going back and almost getting a parking ticket from going past the meter time. The lobster roll however was incredible! PACKED with lobster so much I had to use a fork and knife. I tried picking it up to eat it and lobster kept falling out all over the place. It was a good problem to have. It is definitely a good deal. Too bad it ends this week. Otherwise I would go back several times for this great lunch special.

Blue Island Oyster Bar in Cherry Creek is a fabulous spot to host a dinner party, and we did just that last week. The theme? Rosé and Fall Fête. The girls and I headed to Blue Island Oyster Bar and got ready to enjoy some fabulous seafood & Hampton Water Rosé. We arrived at Blue Island Oyster Bar, and we were seated in the main dining room. The aesthetic of the restaurant was reminiscent of a coastal town with blues, neutral tones & cool nautical decor throughout. Service was top notch as Sarah Gore & Grant Dobbie ensured everything for our dinner party was teed up. Servers Ben & Linda were attentive and professional - they handled our large party seamlessly. Nobody's glass was ever empty, and the food was timely brought out. We started with Oysters. The Oysters were so fresh - Blue Island Oyster Bar partners with Blue Island Shellfish Farms in Long Island, NY in order to bringing high-quality seafood to Colorado. Naturally, the Hampton Water Rosé was flowing the entire meal and it paired brilliantly with all the seafood. The rosé's light, refreshing flavor profile complemented the delicate flavors of the oysters, clams, & lobster. The City's Best Clam Chowder was East Coast chowder topped with a piping hot sea clam fritter. The Clam Chowder was creamy & thick with tender chunks of potatoes that melted in our mouths. The clam fritter was comparable to a clam beignet - it was a crisp, golden brown on the outside, pillowy & light on the inside. Tiny chunks of clam were nestled in the fritter's warm, fluffy dough. For mains, we had Blue Island Oyster Bar's gorgeous Signature Lobster Rolls that were stuffed to the brim with lobster. We had our choice of New England (mayo) or Connecticut-Style (butter). I had mine New England style, and the creamy, tangy mayo provided a light and refreshing backdrop for the sweet lobster. We couldn't get enough of the lobster rolls. For dessert we had Key Lime Pie. The pie was smooth and creamy with a golden graham cracker crust. The tartness of the key lime pie paired well with the floral notes of the rosé - it created a refreshing and balanced combination for dessert.

I love seafood so even when in land locked places like Denver I search for good seafood. I'm thrilled to report that my miso Chilean sea bass had wonderful flavor. The noodles and veggies added a nice contrast of texture. I love olive oil cake so thought I would give the blood orange olive oil cake a try based on the bartender's recommendation. Well we have a different definition of constitutes a good cake. I didn't like that it was cold and a little dry. So I informed the bartender and he replaced it with the key lime pie. Another of my favorites. I was very happy with that selection. It had a nice smooth creamy texture and the graham crust was nice and buttery. I will likely return there in this trip to try the jumbo fried shrimp or cracker crusted cod. Apologies I didn't take a photo of the dessert.

Came on a Monday for "oyster Monday" - $15/dozen. We also tried the Calamari and split the scallop and shrimp risotto. All were wonderful. The restaurant is beautiful and the service was excellent - speedy and helpful with the menu. A new Denver favorite for us.

Loved this oyster bar. I tried several different kinds of oysters. They were all very fresh and flavorful. The staff were friendly and bartender was very knowledgeable about the oyster menu. I definitely recommend checking it out!!

A solid option for some fresh oysters and seafood in the Denver area! We stopped by for a late lunch on a Friday and we were seated immediately. My husband and I both got the 3-course power lunch: Chowder, Knuckle Sandwich for my husband and I got the Small Ceasar and Surf & Turf. They were out of the cookies but we got a slice of Key Lime Pie for an additional $3. Additionally we got 6 oysters. The chowder and knuckle sandwich were very flavorful and not overly fishy. The lobster was super fresh and light. I had high hopes for the surf and turf. The steak was a bit tough and not very tasty and the shrimp were small. The potatoes were in a tower form which personally I don't really enjoy. The 6 oysters we got were super fresh for being in CO. And the key lime pie was reminiscent of pies we had gotten in FL. Overall, I would dine here again but would not order the surf and turf again.
