50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Wheat Ridge

“Two days before my son’s wedding, the caterer vanished—no warning, no explanation. We were scrambling to feed 90 guests. Clancy’s was one of the places we called, and thank goodness we did.
They immediately sat down with the bride, helped craft a menu, and offered practical advice for serving a large crowd. Because the wedding was out of town, they couldn’t cater on-site, but they filled the back of my husband’s truck with hot, delicious food just hours before the ceremony.
Everything was perfect. Their generosity, professionalism, and calm under pressure turned a near disaster into a wonderful celebration. Clancy’s went above and beyond for us. They truly saved the day.“

“Good food & they give big portions ask for Evelyn awesome waitress...“

“We stumbled upon Luke’s by accident and we are so glad that we did! We did not have a reservation, and the restaurant was busy, but that didn’t stop the manager and the bartender from giving us top notch service. They were both incredibly kind and attentive. The food was AMAZING. I rarely clean my plate but I ate every bite. I am pretty picky, so this was a big deal! I would give Luke’s a 20/10. We will definitely be back!“

“Soooo delicious! Just had one of my best meals out in a long while! Every item was delicious and save room for the fried milk dessert — trust me! Plus a great Manhattan with Japanese whiskey“

“I love everything about this place - great vibes, service, music - my only complaint is the oyster shucking - they do not separate the meat from the shell, and they place them on the ice in a way that the brine all falls out. Oysters are always fresh oysters thou“

“We had a great experience last night at Ocean Prime! Derek the Mgr was fantastic. His recommendations were spot on. Luis the server was amazing! All the attention to details did not go unnoticed at our table! Thank you for a fabulous dining experience“

“5* all the way! Service was incredible. Food was to die for. Every single bite. We went for restaurant week and chose from the special menu. The oysters, clam chowder, trout dip, lobster rolls, key lime pie and olive oil cake were all outstanding! Merritt, our waitress, was fantastic! They were super busy, but she nailed it! Highly recommend!“

“My DU student and I recommend everything! The food is amazing (I recommend the eggplant Ragu), the price is right, and the family that owns and works are lovely and want everyone to be happy and to enjoy their food. It’s amazing!“

“Fin & Tonic is a whole vibe! 🦪🔥

We came in late night and grabbed a dozen oysters, and honestly, the price was great for a late-night spot. The oysters were fresh, and it’s a perfect place if you’re looking for good seafood without feeling like you’re breaking the bank.

Gordon was amazing — super charismatic, welcoming, and really made the experience even better. The atmosphere is another major plus. They had a great mix of hip-hop and eclectic music playing, which gave the place a fun, energetic feel without being overwhelming.

Definitely a spot I’d recommend for late-night oysters, drinks, good music, and a laid-back atmosphere. Great food, great prices, great energy — and Gordon is the man! 🍸🦪“

Great selection of desserts. They have a gluten free menu so allergen friendly. Check them out.“

“Always a pleasurable experience at The Butchery. A wide selection of entrees to satisfy everyone. The steaks are top notch. Exquisite atmosphere.“

“It was one of the most enjoyable experiences I've ever had at a restaurant. The service was unbelievable. Gus was our waiter and I don't think I could thank him enough for this amazing visit. I brought my family in to eat.. it was our first time eating some of the delicious seafood they offer and Gus went over the whole appetizers and dinner and how to completely enjoy every bite!! I will absolutely come back and visit and it will not be soon enough!! Thank you Water Grill. I wish you had location in Minnesota!!“

“Fantastic food and atmosphere!!!“

“The waitstaff, Stephanie, and her managers went above and beyond to make our dinner the most special dinner we've ever experienced. We planned a trip to Kauai, a once in a lifetime type trip, only to have to cancel due to Hurricane Lowell that belted the island in September 2026 and left many resorts unable to accommodate upcoming guests. So, we pivoted and chose to spend our anniversary and my birthday celebration at The Capital Grille in Denver. After telling Stephanie and her managers about our once in a lifetime vacation that ended up getting canceled, they put their creative minds together and made our night so special, beyond our expectations. They made us each a creative tropical cocktail, they made us a wine cork lei, and they made us a special anniversary and birthday dessert. We felt like royalty while we were there. We love this restaurant and their staff and plan to come back again and again. Thank you for making us feel so special!“

“steak house 10 was great food and service. but make sure to check your bank account after. tips get edited. when thinking tipping 20% then find out from bank they changed to 30%. admitted mistake when called and only offered to refund the difference that was added.“

“Soooo good and if your celebrating a birthday goooo. You will thank me later😉“

“The food was tasty, they prepared it quickly and the portion sizes were very good, I recommend the order of tacos Gobernador. There are no tables/chairs to eat there but you can eat standing up. The staff is very friendly and charismatic, we stayed talking for a while and they even recommended tourist places to us.“

“Great place. EXCEPT they need some regular tables towards the front. The only ones they have now is back in the kiddy section. I took a handicapped lady who can't use the high drinker's tables. The kid section was full. We were forced to go down the street.“

“Best Cantonese cuisine in Colorado. Dim sun is to die for if you are nostalgic for Old Hong Kong.“

“I had the duck taco and it was delicious and I also had their Mexican chocolate ice cream. it was so good. my husband had a Cornish hen in a mole sauce and it was delicious. we definitely enjoyed The ambiance as well.“

“It was my pleasure to find real English Fish and Chips!!! just Outstanding!!!“

“The freshest Salmon!!!😋😋😋 Duffy always enjoys visiting!!! 😋😃 Stop 🛑 and say 👋 “Hi”“

“All their crabs were of good size and good portions. I haven't been here in about 7 years and they really stepped up their quality. I was really impressed and very satisfied and very full, LOL. Will be back sooner than later most definitely 😋“

“My husband and I went for the first time last night. We had heard it was good, but weren’t sure what to expect. Food was delicious, atmosphere was fun and it was great to see families eating there. We ordered the king crab legs, which were pricy, but they were delicious and had lots of meat. I definitely recommend. We will go back!“

“6/27/26… Stopped by Crab & Shell Cajun Seafood while visiting Denver and got a seafood boil and a drink. As someone from Louisiana, I’m usually pretty skeptical about Cajun seafood outside of Louisiana, but I was pleasantly surprised! The seafood was actually really good and had good flavor.

Customer service was good and the older gentleman that sat next to me was nice; I learned a lot from him! Definitely worth checking out if you’re craving a seafood boil while in Denver. I’d come back again when I’m in the area! 🦀🦐“

“I'm so sad it took me so long to find this gem. I work past most places closing time - so getting home, too exhausted to make food, this is a godsend for me. I have eaten here 3 days in a row! The tacos are incredibly fresh (shout out to the pastor... so good.) The tortillas are fluffy and tasty, the burritos are huge and they're very accommodating to my sensitivity to cilantro and onions. Their green chile is delicious, just not the style I'm into. (I kinda fall into the stewed NM style) I'm likely going to hit it a 4th night.. just bc as I'm writing this I'm salivating at the thought of scarfing down another half dozen tacos!“

“Amazing Cajun Broil and Amazing staff. I will recommend this restaurant. 5 stars all around.“

“Best Salsa on Earth! Everything here is great!“

“🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Wow! Exquisite cocktails, ambiance, and THE most engaged and attentive staff! Paige was our bar tender, and we met the chef Devante, What a gem. Culinary paradise- all beautifully plated. The scallop ceviche, crab claws, shrimp cocktail were all divine! The shrimp linguini, 💥bourbon salmon💥 (to die for), and halibut with veggies and gnocchi all 5 star! Thank you for this experience, will be back at every chance we get😍 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“We always go for the shrimp tacos…they are amazing. Today she asked if we had tried their ceviche? I said we haven’t so we did. It’s the best I’ve had. Very pleased. Always great customer service. If you have my gone you’re missing out“
