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.

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.

Definitely was amazed. Our lovely waitress made us drinks that were AMAZING. I say train her on the bar cuz she's good at it. Food was perfect. Lobster was cooked super fine and the salmon was perfectly medium rare. Definitely coming back. Everyone was super happy and actually looked like they enjoy their jobs.

This restaurant is located in the heart of Union station. It has outdoor and indoor seating. It was fun to sit outside and evaluate kids doing tricks on their bikes. As for their food, everything we had was very flavorful and delicious. Love the Bloody Mary here. It has a lot of flavors and unique spices. Their menu has very unique options. Their staff are friendly and provide us with excellent service. We probably will come back here when we revisit Denver.
