We had oysters , chef’s choice crudo and cocktails for happy hour! Everything was very tasty! Our server recommended the best granita! Can’t remember the name but it had beet juice and I was blown away! This place is a must try!

The food was delicious, including desert. Our waiter was the best ever. What more can you say. The steak stuffed Tuna was incredible.
Awesome, as always. The best seafood and fish in Denver, and the staff is incredible to work with. Always knowledgeable, and always friendly. I love this place.
Fantastic experience. Best server maybe ever? Nieley. Most efficient manager who charms, busses tables, brings food, manages the room, and is quietly and stunningly competent? Tiffany. Service, food, tiny details, all perfect. This is what a restaurant should be like.
I had a perfectly pleasant lunch, a little late. I always appreciate getting good service as a solo diner. Love the food, I had he-crab soup (lots of crab with a thick clotted cream and nutmeg on top) and a couple of oysters. And a craft cocktail of violet granita and gin.

I had not been to Stoic & Genuine in a couple of years but had fond memories of some great food. We went for lunch on a nice December afternoon and were rewarded with great food, fantastic service and a laid back ambiance that was perfect - all in all a fitting reinforcement for the good memories.
Stoic & Genuine is located in Union Station which always makes for good people watching. They have good outdoor seating for warmer days. The inside is nicely appointed and not too noisy. That makes it perfect for casual conversation while enjoying selections from a nicely balanced offering of seafoods. Of course there are the standard items available for those that are not in the mood for fish or oysters.
We started our lunch sharing some delicious fried calamari and a plate of smoked salmon and artichoke dip served with thick “old bay” potato chips. Frankly, we could have called it quits there but went on to order the tuna melt entree. Nothing disappointed.
There is little wonder why they have received so many awards and accolades. Apart from the great food we also had great service. They were not particularly busy and we did not feel rushed. Our server had the right balance of attentiveness while leaving us to enjoy privacy to chat.
If you are downtown in Denver, love seafood and a good restaurant, do yourself a favor and stop in.
This place just taught me what oysters *are*. I thought I knew, I cook seafood pasta with canned oysters or sometimes even fresh from grocery, etc. No. Just no. They lose so many flavor notes. I had no idea.
Came during oyster hour, had fried calamari (great flavor in the breading, good texture) and a pear granita (perfect complement to the oysters) and a half dozen east coast, half a dozen west. It's chef's choice, asked for a variety, they brought me 2 of each (which was exactly what I was hoping for.)
The variety of flavors has me shocked. Who knew oysters could taste like melon? Or seaweed? Or sweet? Really good quality, and very filling.
Staff were lovely, had a great chat about it all. I'm jealous they get to eat these all year round and taste them all. (They even noticed my table was wobbly and fixed it for me -- I didn't even have to say anything!)
Will definitely be back. Thanks for the experience and the revelation.
Love love love it! I’ve been here a couple of times. And I knew the very first time, that it…was gonna be excellent. Seafood is fresh as can be, oysters are on point with a large selection to choose from. I will happily eat here every time I’m in town. They’ve made a loyal follower!! Also some of the best cocktails I’ve ever had.
A highlight of a recent trip to Denver, I would say this is the best seafood restaurant in between the two coasts (maybe even on them as well!). Don’t skimp, try everything - especially the oysters and the cocktails! Super fun service and really feels like your own getaway.
They begin by bringing you cornbread, which is gluten free and good tasting. We got the Dill Chill cocktail. I got some oysters to start, $5 each. I also got tuna tartare and my friend got salmon. We shared asparagus and carrots. Some of the carrots were burnt but everything else tasted good.
