He came here for a friend's birthday as a party of 12 on a Tuesday night around 7:30 PM. The ambience gives a real nautical vibe, resembling the inside of a grand ship with lots of dark woodworking. I believe our server's name was Matt although I could be remembering wrong (i should write down the names) but he was so attentive and great. He gave the best recommendations. Our group tried a number of different things at his advice, and it was all so good. It's really hard to find good oysters Rockefeller in this area being so far from the ocean, but water Grill has it down! We ended up ordering an additional plate of them because they went so fast. We also got the raw oyster platter with a few from different coasts, and Matt gave us the full rundown of where each one could be traced to and what the differences were generally. I didn't have a huge appetite so after the appetizer, I decided to have another appetizer as my meal. He recommended the halibut cheek, mentioning it was a more tender cut, and boy This was the highlight dish of my month. Not only was the fish so fresh and tender and delicious but the sauce it came in was so unique and breathtaking. It was creamy, but not too much so and had the perfect balance of flavors. I was so impressed. The birthday boy also recommended the crabcake and I was blown away by this as well, sometimes they are too crumbly or dry. This one was absolutely perfect. Around the table, we also tried the full lobster dinner, mussels, ahi tuna tacos and more. It was all divine and the prices were pretty fair

They partner with Rappahannock Oyster Company in Virginia to offer their own proprietary oysters, which says a lot about their commitment to quality. This was the third location I've visited in their group, and this one is conveniently located near Union Station Denver in downtown Denver. It's a great stop if you're in the area. I follow them on social media and they occasionally run some really good specials. One thing I like is that they change their menus frequently, so it feels like you can try something different every time you visit. On this trip I had the Salmon Kushiyaki -- teriyaki, crispy skin, and broccolini gomae -- and it was excellent. The staff was friendly, service was smooth, and they also have a solid beer selection. Overall, a dependable seafood spot with quality ingredients and a menu that keeps things interesting.

We ordered the salmon Sashimi to start (epic), the Hipster Wedge salad, (yummmm) and the filet Champion style. THAT was one of the best steaks we have ever eaten. Incredible. The service was outstanding, the lighting/ ambiance were perfect. Pearl Street in Denver is a cool little district to walk around when the weather is nice too. Loved the area! We will be back!

The KC strip steak…read more Stop. Go no further. Order the KC strip steak. Im sure there can be no better steak in Denver. If you live near here or can fly to denver, come here and get the KC strip steak. The pecan and mesquite bring a nice flavor balance to the meat. The veal demi glace and herb butter bring a fantastic mouth feel and flavor highlight. Insanely good. Admittedly, they like to undercook the steak, so I asked for mine more cooked than I usually would. The steak came out just like I like it, so I advise asking them to cook a little longer. The sushi seems a bit adventurous for my tastes. The service was impeccable. The ambiance seemed a little more refined downstairs, so I regret not waiting for a downstairs table.

This restaurant is in the heart of Cherry Creek and as such, is in a really nice area. The building is beautiful and clean. The decor is tasteful and attractive. The food is absolutely amazing. I had a Connecticut lobster roll and I thoroughly enjoyed it. My Pinot Grigio was chilled and went with my meal perfectly. The only drawback to this place is the parking is terrible. It's drive around for twenty minutes looking for a spot a block away or pay to valet your car. The key lime pie was world class.

I will say for the oyster deal it has been good, but sometimes the oysters aren't cleaned well. Again a hit and miss. The ambiance is nice and soothing, very ocean blue. We have also tried some sides and other entrees. The shrimp entree was good but lacked some salt. The burger was amazing with the bacon jam and always have the best shoestring fries. I also got an order of the crispy rice that has a salmon and a tuna. The salmon was way too sweet and had a fishy aftertaste that I disliked. The truffle tuna was definitely the better one of the two. However, the rice itself was absolutely mushy and not necessarily crispy. It also didn't have the best flavor. Desserts tried were the olive oil orange cake and the brownie. both are OK and nice and sweet, but not something I would spend money on Overall, truly think this place is a hit and miss. Just depends on the night.

We were immediately greeted by host and asked for a table outside, but when it started to drizzle they accommodated us to inside no issues. Ben was our server, was very knowledge of menu. Often checked with us with a smile. We started with the goat cheese ravioli. Yum! We both had the fillet mignon steaks cooked to perfection. The baked potatoes were soft, fluffy buttery. I recommend the brussels sprouts for some greens. We were too full to eat dessert but Ben took care of this and provided a comped bday carrot cake for me to take home to enjoy. But why no happy birthday song bro??? Bottom line Great Service Great Food. Nuff said, just book your reservation already!

Seamless, thoughtful, and genuinely exceptional! Highly recommend!…read more We were welcomed into the bar area while waiting for our table, and the bar staff immediately set the tone for the service--attentive, efficient, and warm without being overbearing. Drinks came quickly, were beautifully made, and the space itself was clean, organized, and clearly well-managed. We were seated shortly after, and the service continued at the same high standard. Our server was prompt, attentive, and proactive--checking in at the right moments without interrupting the flow of the evening. What stood out most was how knowledgeable and accommodating the team was. They handled dietary restrictions with ease and confidence (no hesitation or guesswork), and their menu recommendations and wine pairings were thoughtful and spot-on. Each course arrived with perfect timing and presentation--nothing rushed, nothing delayed--and every dish delivered on flavor. It's rare to find a place that gets everything right: service, food, pacing, and overall experience. We are so thankful that this one did!
