Even though they change it up with a weekly menu, they deliver as if they cooked the exact same dish for years. A cozy Michelin quality restaurant, nestled in the southern suburbs of Denver.

This was our first time here and came across it when in the area and search "wine bar". We saw…read morethere was a happy hour from 3-6 PM, so we stopped by. This is a cute place in a strip mall. We were immediately sat on the patio around 5:45 PM. We were greeted and given "welcome bubbles". What a nice touch. After about 5 minutes, we were finally given menus. Other people were sat around us, so we waited to ask for the happy hour menu. We ordered the chef's choice charcuterie, a cocktail, and a glass of wine. The drinks and board were yum, but not quite a wine bar as there were very limited option by the glass. Also, we had to ask for plates and silverware where this is a basic item. While deciding on dinner, we were approached a couple times by the 2 servers in the section. One was friendly, the other, not so much, rather indifferent and made us feel a little uncomfortable and not very welcome. This kind of set the tone for the rest of our night. We ordered the "family share" chateaubriand. We realize this is an expensive cut, but the portion is definitely not a sharing cut, around 4 oz. It is closer to a single entree. When it arrived, the plate was cold, like the meat was lukewarm and the cauliflower was ice cold. Again, we had to ask for silverware and plates for this "family style shareable" plate. We brought the cauliflower temperature up with the server and got new cauliflower after we were done with the rest of the meal. Also, I sat with an empty wine glass and no one stopped to ask if I needed another glass. When the servers did stop by, it was a short interaction and we never even had a chance to ask before they were already walking away. We saw so many people come in and out that they must be doing something right, but for us, our experience was mediocre. If our meal would have been the correct temperature (it was well prepared, just cold) and better execution on the service, we may have had a better experience.

The appetizers alone are worth the visit, do not skip the spicy tuna crispy rice cakes (perfectly balanced with just the right kick), the edamame (simple but elevated), and the hamachi, which was incredibly fresh and beautifully presented. I am still dreaming about that spicy tuna crispy rice cakes!!! The cocktail menu deserves its own spotlight. The rosé spritz was light, refreshing, and dangerously easy to sip, while the margaritas were perfectly crafted and bright, balanced, not overly sweet. Cocktail presentation was A+! The Tajin rim on the margs...next level. For the main course, the salmon was nothing short of perfection, cooked flawlessly and paired with the not-to-be-missed cilantro lime rice, which honestly deserves its own fan club. Absolute chef's kiss. And let's talk sushi, because wow. The mango tango roll was vibrant and flavorful, the torched salmon roll melted in your mouth, and the atomic roll brought just the right amount of heat. Each roll was as beautiful as it was delicious!! Our only regret? Not saving room for dessert. Apparently, the bread pudding is the talk of the town, and after everything else we experienced, we have zero doubt it's as incredible as everyone says. Bottom line: if you haven't been to Smokin Fins yet, go and go hungry. You'll already be planning your next visit before you leave!!

I was very skeptical at that point if I was going to really like this place. Next, we got seated quite quickly although there were 5 couples ahead of us. All the staff members I encountered were very friendly, nice and attentive which was a huge plus, especially considering how busy it was that day. We ordered our food and noticed they had very good prices and cheaper than our go-to seafood boil place so that's a win! The food came out hot, our server emptied out the bags for us which was very nice. I ordered the shrimp with head on xxtra hot and It was the perfect spice level for my latina taste buds, absolutely loved it even with just the garlic butter sauce. My husband got snow crab and he was very pleased with how tasty and easy it was to crack them open and get the crab out. If you have leftovers they will pack it up for you which is another plus for me! Lastly, I got a beautiful rose to end the night when we were heading out which was a nice touch! Overall, I will definitely be coming back to this restaurant. It was delicious and cooked perfectly! I am excited to try out their other sauces and look forward to it!

I love that they provide good quality gloves to grub with, they make a difference! Space is clean, spacious and there's plenty of sinks to wash your hands after you get all sauced up. Pro tip: crawfish season is typically April/May, call them before you go to see if they have fresh crawfish in!

Upon entry we were seated quickly and had our drink orders taken. Taylor was our server and let me tell you; nicest server I've ever seen! Frequent refills, quick service, and in general came off as a good person. The food was BEYOND amazing, I can't reiterate enough how hood it all looked and tasted. We ordered their shrimp and crawfish fondeaux and garlic bread for the table, which was incredible, possibly the best garlic bread and fondeaux I've ever had! Their Caesar salad was good, but what really stood out was the blackened catfish. I love catfish, and this catfish was perfectly grilled and seasoned. The rice and beans on the side were great as well, the beans being slightly smokey and spicy. I really, really cannot recommend this place enough! Pappadeaux has extraordinarily outdone its seafood competitors, and if you are also a seafood lover, there's nowhere better to visit.

The pasta was okay, it was lacking flavor. I would not order again. Or recommend it to be honest. The bad- we had a large party and had a reservation for 16 people. At the time we made the reservation we were told that they would have to seat us between two different tables but they would be together which was fine. Half of our party didn't get their drink order taken. I informed our waitress who said she would take it and that she was aware we were together but she wasn't their waitress. By the time we got our food, the other half of our party hadn't even had their appetizers ordered. We waited 45min after we got our food for them to even get theirs. We spoke to the manager because no one was serving them, our waitress would help when she could but they weren't her table. The woman manager was not wanting to hear it. The other table also complained but my friend whose event it was asked to speak to her as she was upset on behalf of her party, the woman manager was not personable and wouldn't discuss what she could do to make it right since my friend wasn't at the other table. This was my first experience at this restaurant and the manager and pasta turned me off. I don't think I would made the 45 min drive to this restaurant again.

We've visited other Eddie V's locations and we were counting on that previous experience when we chose this restaurant vs others in the area. It didn't disappoint! We all order the aged prime rib!

We also ordered dessert to finish off our meal; Belgian chocolate cake, lemon tart and flaming bananas foster. We all shared some bites! Indulgent and delicious all the deserts were! Lastly, we were provided great service by Kourney! Let me also note that we didn't have a reservation (for three) but were able to get a table right away because we arrived early (5pm).

The bread is great. I'd love to get crème brûlée for dessert and the two double chocolate chip cookies that they serve with it is spectacular. Everything is great about this restaurant. I cannot complain about a single thing. It gets five stars across the board.

It's definitely giving date night energy: low lighting, candlelit tables, and a cozy-but-busy atmosphere. Every time I've gone it's been pretty packed, but I've never had trouble snagging a seat (and I never make reservations). Honestly, it's become my go-to for a solo night--cocktail in hand, spicy book in the other. My routine? Friday nights. I settle in with my book, order the Thai calamari (which has the perfect punch of flavor), and wait for the 9pm special--$0.99 oysters until close on Fridays and Saturdays. Such a steal. The servers are always great, but Chris really stands out--attentive, kind, and totally gets the vibe of letting me relax and enjoy my drink and my book. I also came during Denver Restaurant Week and did their 3-course menu: calamari (obviously), the sea bass (which surprised me in the best way), and the blood orange olive oil cake... WOW. Light, citrusy, and perfectly balanced--not too sweet, just right. Most recently, I brought my boyfriend and we finally explored more of their oyster selection. Our server guided us based on our flavor preferences, and we loved a few so much we had to order another dozen. This spot is a gem--whether it's a solo unwind night or a cute date. I try to come at least once a month, and it never disappoints.

Nothing tasted all that good - the calamari is drowned in a sweet Thai chili sauce to hide how bad it is. They also have 99 cent happy hour signs plastered everywhere and the waiter made sure to point out "these are the happy hour oysters" but the fine print says that's just for one day in the future. Seems a bit suspect and intentional. Random unexplained "surcharge" of 3.5%. Not worth the money or visit, bland and overpriced food even during happy hour.
