The Oceanaire space seems made for classic martinis and adultery, particularly if you sit in the bar, which is staffed by a couple of the best bartenders in the city. The style is art deco luxe, and the vibe one of obvious but restrained class, like the private dining room of the coolest ocean liner ever. And the menu? Freshest fish you're going to find in Denver. Although what the kitchen does with seafood can be expensive, it's often pure, comforting genius. Don't forget a side of bacon!

  • 2010 | Best Seafood Restaurant

    Our ship came in the day Oceanaire landed in Denver. The restaurant itself has the feel of a vintage ocean liner, with a comfortable, clubby bar; the service is formal but friendly. But what really floats our boat at Oceanaire is the seafood:... More >

  • 2009 | Best Seafood Restaurant

    What does it take to run a great seafood restaurant a mile above sea level and a thousand miles from the nearest ocean? The kind of system that hums behind the scenes at Oceanaire — a business structure that brings in fresh fish daily, six days a... More >

  • 2008 | Best Seafood Restaurant

    Although Oceanaire is beloved for the chicken-fried oysters and delightful bacon steaks with which it's slowly murdering a certain restaurant critic, this restaurant is really a classic fish house that looks like a gilt ocean liner from the early... More >

  • 2008 | Best Expense-Account Dinner

    Begin with the massive plateau de fruits de mer — that'll run you $79, shaved ice included. Then there's whatever fish is fresh that night, prepared in a way that could be plain, could be fancy, but is guaranteed to be stunning: real Dover sole... More >

  • 2008 | Best Bacon Steaks

    Yes, Oceanaire is a seafood restaurant — but our very favorite offering here is a plate of nothing but bacon steaks. No garnish, no vegetable, no starch, no health warning from the surgeon general about the dangers of eating a giant plate of pig... More >

    I know It's a seafood house but I have to give props to the chops. Best lamb in town and can't go wrong with the hashbrowns (have your server add cheese).

    Go here for a special occasion. Be sure when you call in your reservation mention the occasion (birthday/anniversary/etc) and they will personalize the menu for your table. Be sure to check out the bathroom. Known for great service.
