My wife and I ventured away from Hotel Clio and came to this cozy nook with so many tasty options for happy hour. Every single bite from the menu was flavourful, delicious, and authentic to the point where we wish we never left! Sliders, mussels, oysters, tacos: all spectacular! If you are in Cherry Creek or a visitor to Denver for that matter; this is definitely a must go to spot for a great time and quality food with exceptional service.

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. 🦞🦪💖✨

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.

The food is absolutely amazing, so let’s get that out of the way first. Everything is so fresh and cooked to your liking—while still being done correctly. Hats off and chef’s kiss 👏. What’s even more important, though, is the service. I’m very particular, and half the time I’ll tap out due to the performance of the bar. With that being said, I love to dine at the bar, drinks or not. I just met Malik for the first time today, although he has been there awhile, and he made our experience at the bar absolutely amazing. Malik’s service and attention to detail were five-star. We will be returning just because of Malik. My new go-to Cherry Creek bartender. See you soon, Blue Island Oyster Bar & Seafood. Thank you!
