    Tostada Campechana & Tostada Aguachile Verde
    Estefania S.

    I get a little nervous trying seafood here in Denver, since we are land locked, but coming from Cali I get serious seafood cravings so I decided to risk it. I was pleasantly surprised! For starters they give free chips & salsa, and that's the first good sign of any Mexican restaurant! To drink I got a Michelada Especial with Negra Modelo, super refreshing! For food I got a Tostada Aguachiles Verdes (shrimp with a spicy green sauce) and a Tostada Campechana (mixture of seafood) and they were both delicious. The tostadas come with plenty of food stacked on. The ambience was also great! They do have music bumping and an occasional trio or group that comes in to play for tips! I personally love that, everything is very lively with a friendly staff!

    First time here. The place isn't big but able to hold a party. For two dishes from here. Seafood. I love seafood and I would say I like it here. Except the fish in the dish. The price is reasonable and would come back to try other dishes. There are alcohol beverages and parking lot.

    Ceviche

    One of a kind restaurant with whimsical ocean decor made this place memorable. We shared a mango frozen margarita, which was delicious, but maybe on the weaker side. Their menu has large a selection of seafood and come in large plates so bringing friends is highly encouraged for sharing. I had their ceviche, which was particularly good because of the balance of flavors. It was still delicious the next day for leftovers. It's a lot of food so plan on taking your time to eat or taking some home. Looking around, their other customers looked like families and regulars. My friend says they have another location and the food there is even better.

    I ordered the Molcajete Campechano, it was so amazing! The michelada especial was surprisingly good as well. I will definitely come eat here again. If your looking for authentic Mexican seafood (mariscos) this is the place to come.

    Our server Daniela was very attentive and sweet. We enjoyed the atmosphere. We were there during the karaoke.

    My annual visit to Denver (daughter lives here), took me to Juicy Seafood because my daughter knows…read moreI simply love seafood! She recommends to come in not in your best attire because your clothes will smell of seafood and drippings of butter and what seasoning you choose. My goodness! I love this "eating messy" restaurant! The choices are grand including seasonings of your choice. My daughter and I opted for garlic and butter (who doesn't love butter)! They provide plastic bib, and gloves, of course. We picked what was on the menu: daughter had Dungeness crab, I chose clams and snow crab. It comes with corn cob, 2 whole potatoes (plenty to eat). Here comes the server; puffed up plastic bag, she shakes it to mix those buttery goodness etc and she opens the bag - viola your seafood looks deliciously amazing. I dug in (oops don't forget to take your watch off) ....absolutely delicious and the seafood was really fresh! I grew up in "seafood" country and freshness is a "thumbs up for this place. Yep, it was buttery messy for me but I was a gluttony messy eater! Denver-ans if you love seafood check this place even though it's "messy, dribbling" it's delicious. Like any seafood, you are expected to have a "pocketful of greens." Good quality seafood does that if you eat out. I will return before I leave and head back to Idaho if I have time - more restaurants to visit! Don't order the calamari appetizer. The server was sweet and took it out of our bill (I mentioned it was not what I expected-chewy and just ordinary and heavily crumbed).

    So if you're a table of 5 or more you can't make a reservation ahead of time so you have to wait…read morelonger. On top of this, you get auto gratuity charged, so your servers don't feel like they should tend to your table as often because they don't have to work for their tip. +Wouldn't it make sense that if you get auto grat you should be able to at least get a perk of a reservation if good service isn't going to be included?

    My favorite restaurant! Made a reservation on Open Table and our hostess seated us immediately at…read morethe booth we requested. Our server, Malik, was so professional, courteous, engaging, gave us great suggestions and our meal experience was even better with him as our server! We ordered the Happy Hour cocktails of lemon drop martinis and a regular martini. Ordered a half-dozen of the Pearl oysters and they were so yummy, we ordered another half-dozen. Well-presented and delicious! We then ordered the Nantucket Risotto (only been on the menu for 2 weeks), the Blue Island Diver's Platter (ask for the octopus), a Happy Hour Crispy Slider and Fish Taco. We combined this with a glass of white wine and red wine. The meal was absolutely fabulous and we then finished this spectacular meal with sharing a key lime pie. Once again, Malik made this meal even better with his genuine smile, attentiveness and efficiency. Make sure you sign up for their Loyalty Rewards program and they offer a great inexpensive weekday 3-course Power Lunch.

    Went in on Saturday night for the late night oyster deal…read more The service has been hit or miss. Sometimes it's good other times absolutely terrible. 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.
