Erik AkreOctober 30, 2017Can't go wrong with the chowder. I ordered a combination of wasters king crab peel and eat shrimp watch salad and blackened salmon as well as tuna poke. All dishes met and exceeded expectations!!!
- Kacie ArmbrustJune 11, 2018The Lobster Roll is a must have! The oysters are amazing and the servers do a great job explaining the different flavors depending on where they come from. Monday is all night happy hour!
- Travis WelkeMarch 14, 2016Best clam chowder EVER! Pair with the homemade bread and a cold beer - you will not want to leave! Great specials on oysters too!! A must visit when I am in town.
Boris KraskoJanuary 18, 2021Simply one of the best seafood places I’ve been to. A must any time I visit Denver.
Lisa GrimmSeptember 19, 2013The lobster roll is incredible. Order it. Also, they make their own grenadine, which was incredible in my Shirley Temple:)
Less spacious and more energetic than McCormick's across the street, but much fresher seafood and better beer selection. Better happy hour deals, as well. Check it out.
Chelsea Anne GualdaramaSeptember 13, 2016Everything! #Mondays is #happyhour all #night, #food, #drink and a #cute staff to look at...i am a happy wahine #cheepono
Go for happy hour and get the Sea Dog and PEI Muscles with Panang curry sauce. Order the buttermilk break to soak up the sauce.
Arthur MitchellDecember 25, 2020Barely above average. Appetizers: oysters, calamari, and lump crab cake were excellent. Ciopinno was sub par: broth was lukewarm, alaska crab-really?, and fish was only found dissolved into flakes.
Marc SAugust 25, 2015Great selection of top quality oysters. Highly recommended for the last 20 years.
Samantha EdwardsJanuary 21, 2015Crab cakes were great... Oyster shutters a must. Plus you can draw on the table!
Kyle MooreDecember 28, 2014Calamari and clam chowder were exceptional. Lizzie and the rest of the staff make the evening perfect.

Babi MazocanteDecember 11, 2023Everything was just perfect. Service, drinks, food, space, everything!
- Denver WestwordJuly 11, 2013Come check out the newly remodeled restaurant for the great ambiance and interactive raw bar!
Megan JohnsonDecember 2, 2013Fresh fish and pasta, delicious. Good bar area (although slow this Sunday night).
Erin GFebruary 9, 2015Great happy hour -- the Paloma was just the refreshing kick I needed after a long day!
they make their own ginger beer so the Moscow Mule's are the bomb, especially with fresh oysters!- IsaiahMarch 17, 2011Try the Oyster shooters and the clam chowder is a work of art. Make sure you meet Tim, ultra badass bartender!
Elisa CoolOctober 12, 2010Sit at the bar. The service is amazing. Food is seasonal, take their suggestions. Outstanding!
I disagree with the last poster. It may get busy, but Tim and Chris are the best bartenders in town.
DenverHappyHourJuly 17, 2010Food: $2 oyster shooters, $1 oysters, $3 snacks Drink: $3 wines, $3-$5 vodka martinis, $3 draft beersEvery Day 4pm-6pm
Ryan GMarch 13, 2011Skip the appetizers. Skip the main course. Get the oysters...they are outstanding!
Sarah LizAugust 26, 2019One of the worst restaurant experiences I’ve ever had. Over salted chowder, dry bland crab cakes, horribly cooked steak, salad drenched in dressing.
Roxanna VincentMarch 25, 2010Had Jax for dinner last night! Lobster BLT baby! If you're in Denver Jax is a must :)
