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!

    Oysters were incredible, food was delicious, a couple minor mixups with order and being charged full price for glass of wine when it should’ve been discounted to happy hour, but nothing terrible to complain about. Always great place to eat.

    First time for dinner, and the Veterans Day discount was greatly appreciated. But the best part outside of great food was the great service from Randi, she was awesome, and every recommendation was appreciated. Even the white wine she recommended was good, especially considering I don’t usually drink white wine. Be back soon.
