A hidden gem with excellent seafood. Half don’t want to review because I want to keep this place but also want to commend this spot for their food experience in the seafood atmosphere in Denver. I got the lobster roll and east coast oysters.

We visit Colorado often and decided to try the lobster roll here instead of the place we went to on our last visit. We were seated quickly and water was brought to the table right away. My husband and I both had the lobster roll, heated with butter and chose the asiago crab dip as an appetizer and they did not disappoint! The rolls are huge compared to some I've had and so far the best out of any that I've had anywhere else. Dani, our server, was very personable and checked on us often, with a smile on her face and keeping our beverages full. We definitely found a new place to eat next time we visit the area. Highly recommend!

GOOD SERVICE IS HARD TO COME BY BUT WE GOT IT! We came in for Saturday happy hour oysters and some beers. The bartender, Savannah H, was some of the best service we have had in Denver in YEARS. Great oysters, calamari, lobster roll and drinks. Thank you for restoring my faith in the service industry and having great food as well! The man who brought our food was delightful as well and the atmosphere was great too. Thank you!!

I wanted something different for lunch and having just watched a show on Bruges thought of mussels. This place certainly fit the bill. The menu includes a lot of good seafood options including lobster and mussels. The mussels were perfect for me. The portion size was good and they were delicious. I'm definitely looking forward to going back to try other items. Service was fast and friendly. The food came out of the kitchen quick too. The space is unmistakably focused on seafood and very comfortable. It's large enough to handle a sizeable number of customers. They do have password protected Wi-Fi available for guests. Parking can be very difficult to find during peak mealtimes, but can be much more relaxed if you can schedule your visit for between meals.

I went with a friend and made a reservation. I was seated immediately and our server was attentive but not hovering. We ordered the shrimp ceviche and a couple of drinks to start. We got them during happy hour so they had a little discount. The ceviche was wonderful. We both got the scallops for the entree. We would have liked more scallops(there were only three). They were a good size though, and perfectly cooked. The orzo/kale mixture was good with the scallops as well. We sat and chatted for a bit after finishing our meal and were not rushed out. The atmosphere was friendly and social. It wasn't too hot, or cold. Their seafood is always amazing and never fishy tasting unlike other places I have been to in Colorado. I normally get the mussels and lobster rolls which are absolutely fantastic as well, but we wanted to try somthing new this time. We will be back again!!!

Came here for the oysters and happy hour and was satisfied for sure! Their oysters come with saltine crackers, which I've not had in Colorado. I liked that added touch. I also really loved their clam chowder soup too. So delicious and flavorful! We had their cheesecake too and wow was that tasty. Cozy atmosphere, great happy hour deals, delicious food, and wonderful service! Husband had their fish and chips and their slaw was kinda odd tasting... Maybe needed some more salt? Still delicious.
