Reviews of Cherry Crest Seafood Restaurant & Market (Fish Shop)

J Allen

Probably the most bland seafood meal ever. Good service and endearing old environment (1970's). The did have a gluten-free menu. Seafood was fresh but literally just boiled lobster. No seasoning, no grilled option. Just boiled in water. Potatoes and steamed veggies were the same just boiled/steamed in plain water. I guess if you are sodium restricted it might be a good option. Very boring iceberg salad. Same basic review for the halibut and walleye although they had a bit more seasoning with a parmesean crust. Sides were the same plain unseasoned broccoli and carrots. Not bad just not a meal worth $100 that I easily could have made better at home. As I said, the food was fresh, but very bland and boring! We tried, but won't be back.

The food here is the best sea food I have ever had, believe it or not, the best part was actually the cole slaw! It tasted so good, and it tasted somewhat like a sour salad dressing but it was also sweet. The cole slaw, the best part, was not thr only good part. I often order a catfish sandwich, the meat blackened yet pink on the inside, it was not to juicy, but just juicy enough. Some may not like how juicy it is, but I love it!

Julie White

Bryan Jon Miller

We had a fantastic meal. First we had a nice sized salad brought to us promptly after ordering. Bith of our entrees had a decent amount of fish accompanied by a rice dish and vegetables.

Bobbie Smith

Great family owned and run restaurant. The fish was fresh and expertly prepared. Our first time to visit this little gem. We'll definitely go back to try some of the other tempting entrees!

Barbara Hawkins

Had the 1&1/2 IB lobster!

Chris Mospaw

This place is sad. We were definitely among the youngest diners while there, and we're middle aged. This place caters to the "soft-food" under-seasoned crowd who is looking to spend as little as possible on seafood. The prices are actually fairly high for the generic food that comes out of the kitchen. The food isn't bad per se, but it's not worth going back for. Our server was nice and helpful, but the entire experience just reeked of a place that reached its prime in 1979 (also likely the last time it was redecorated) and has been coasting ever since. You'd be better off grabbing some fish from the supermarket and cooking it yourself, or just going somewhere else.

I was excited to go to this place but disappointed with their selection and unfortunately, the fish I purchased was not fresh

Felecia Turner

Very good fish place. Small place so make a reservation (if they take them) or go early. King crab was terrific but the halibut was amazing! Good salads and the restaurant does not smell fishy.

Matthew Roberts

Fresh seafood. Classic East coast feel.

Waa not impressed. Pretty basic, bland side dishes, spendy. Would gladly spend the same amount of money at other seafood restaurants. Thought this would be way better, just not impressed at all.

Pam Piñon

Thank you for the most delicious anniversary meal. Everything from the salad and clam chowder to dessert was amazing...cooked to perfection. It was truly an enjoyable evening!

amber threlkel

It was alright. The food was plain and not as good as I hoped for. I ordered seafood enchiladas they where supposed to be a special there. They where tasteless and boring. I probably won't return there.

Helen Bates

My favorite eating place. Exceptional food and service.

gary veasman

Good food

Diana Banks

Lobster roll was wonderful!

Dan Burger

The best lobster roll I've ever eaten! The restaurant is nothing fancy, but that's not why's you're there. The generous serving of lobster was fresh and the roll was perfect. Highly recommended!

Stan Rasor

Unpretentious but good fresh seafood prepared in a straightforward manner. Staff very courteous and friendly .

David Markham

I had the Cod lunch special and it was delicious!!

I've been driving past this spot for years, tonight I stopped in and I'll be coming back just for the halibut.

Vinnie Carter

My wife & I both had coworkers recommend this place, we ordered peel & eat shrimp for an appetizer it was bland no seasoning at all we had 5 or 6 pcs. each for $12.00 we ordered king crab for dinner $34.00 each we asked for new potatoes instead of rice we got rice we brought this to the waitresses attention and she brought out cubed russet potatoes they were slightly under cooked my vegetables were cold and parts of my crab was cold as well the rolls were definitely not fresh. Over all we spent way more than the meal was worth. Very bland no seasoning I guess thats good if you are geriatric thats what the crowd seemed to lean towards. We could have spent a little more each and got all you can eat king crab at Landry's thats where will go next time.

CJ McKinney

Great food with a nice neighborhood diner feel. My wife and me have gone here multiple times since moving into the neighborhood and the quality of the food has been consistent and tasty no matter what we ordered.

Mike Gilbert

Delicious seafood, good variety, pleasant ambience, not pretentious.

Phyllis Morgart

Good sea food & you get bang for your buck!!

Mindy Correll

The Mediterranean Shrimp is to die for.

Ramsey Brown

Love this place. Owner owns a big seafood restaurant downtown. He uses the deals he gets for that restaurant to supply cherry crests menu. What this means is that you pay half the cost you would at any highemd seafood restaurant but get the same quality. They have full bar and extensive wine list. It is a local spot where you will see the same people in there if you go multiple days at the same time. The staff is great. The outside does not portray the quality of service and food you will get inside.

Berta Riedell

Great Food! Best Crab ever.

Joyce phelps

Always great food and friendly service. Love Cherry Crest!!

Nancy Lambrecht

Bland food. Popular with elderly clientele

Cameron Hassler

This is sort of an old-fashioned place with a homey dining room, one of the last of a dying breed of family restaurants. The simple appearance belies some of the best seafood in the Denver area. The lobster roll is awesome, and made from a whole freaking lobster!

Kelly Hartshorn

Meal was a small portion and not that flavorful. Service was very good.

Sharie Mendrey

We were incredibly disappointed in the food. The clam chowder was the only thing worth eating - it was fine but not great. We ordered several other dishes and all of them were bad. Try somewhere else before eating here.

David Ohara

We enjoyed our dinner and service tonight. Was a very nice lobster special you had and I felt right price for it. Only thing with the stuffing for lobster I would say is I would have preferred without the onions. But that is my personal opinion. Great night as always at your restaurant.

Brother Cinaedus

Fresh seafood that is fresh.

Linda Henderson

A bit pricey for lunch. A+ for staff

Joker TrollTeam6

High prices, poor service, mediocre food.....don't waste your time or money!

Andrés Salazar

We had lunch here a few months back; only one out of six of us didn't get sick.

Jay Jensen

Excellent friendly service. Delicious food.

Blake Farnsworth

Amazing dishes! Different specials every day . Doubles as an amazing seafood market with plenty of fresh fish, lobsters shellfish

Karen Marie Artist

My favorite seafood restaurant by far. Staff is friendly and the chef constantly comes up with amazing ideas for seasonal ways to cook any fish you order. Shrimp and artichoke soup was incredible.

Michele Singer

My favorite place to go for lunch! I usually get the Salmon Club sandwich because of the salmon bacon, but I've had several of their soups, salads, and pasta dishes, and they were all fantastic! Great seafood, courteous staff, and a blessing to my neighborhood.

Matt Egleston

OUTSTANDING. I cannot recommend Cherry Crest enough without sounding like a paid commercial. The service was fantastic, the food perfect. I can't say enough.

Jason Longmire

The Lobster Rolls and Seafood Platter are outstanding. Great service, great people.

Shera Lee Matthews

Such a nice treat! A lot of "blue hairs" but they know what's good & convenient. Halibut cheeks, sea scallops in pernod cream, on & on. Just good food in a simple setting.

Brian McFadden

Pricey. Decent food

Katie Collins

Good food, GREAT staff.

Jeremy Yamada

I went for lunch and had the seaside potato skins and the seafood pasta. The potato skins had four to the order, hollowed out and filled with a nice mixture of seafood featuring imitation crab, lobster and baby shrimp. It also comes with a side of sour cream. It all tasted good but I was surprised at the imitation crab but it all tasted very good together and I did not mind the taste at all because it was delicious. I was however disappointed in the seafood pasta. It is a good portion of pasta in the sauce with clams, shrimp, and scallops with a slice of their garlic cheese bread. The clams felt undercooked to me and I found it an unpleasant texture but the real shame was the sauce which was too bland. It was unappetizing and I tried to enjoy the side of the bread which was yummy. The setting is fun because of the fresh seafood counter so it seems a little more casual and fun than a regular seafood restaurant. All in all I would not recommend this place.

Candice Hayden

Our very favorite place for seafood. Low key and casual with great food.

laurie reilly

It was a wonderful experience with our group of 9. Food was fanatic!

manuel garcia

Excellent seafood and I'm from New England. Was very pleased with the food and the service.

Steve Headlee

Really good seafood. A bit pricey.

Robert Lofgren

Do not eat at this place! The food is horrible, not fresh but frozen. Also expensive. They don't care if you complain. One of the worst meals we have ever had.

Debbie Asmus

What a gem! The food is FRESH and the market offers fish and crustaceans to take. Staff is genuinely happy to welcome you.

Matthew Chipman

Will be eating there one of these days.

Joe McGuill Jr.

Terrific Joe

How To Kitesurf

I love the lobster rolls everytime I'm in the area I stop by and be sure to get one and have been doing so for the last 15 years

Erin Davis

The menu link on this is not the correct menu. Go to the website for the actual menu with the real prices. Food was ok.

Bradley Ryan

Great food good service

Kevin Hodge

Disappointing. Food rather bland. Accompanying vegetables literally without seasoning...no salt, no pepper, no nothing. Apple pie dessert was from Costco. Server was great but had big expectations. Unfortunately fell well short

Alice McMillan

Really great prices on amazing seafood.

Erich Arnbrecht

Great surprise & our experience was great. From the staff to our meals, everything was spot on! Thank you!!

Connie Venne

Always a great place to eat!

Mark Putnam

Absolutely average. Besides salt the food was void of flavor. We had the seaside skins. The potatoes were cooked well but the seafood topping was not very flavorful. We also had the shrimp scampi which was swimming in an oily sauce that wasn't very flavorful. The Thai shrimp sounded fantastic on the menu, but again there was an enormous amount of oily sauce that wasn't very spicy and didn't taste all that good. I didn't finish the dish. Our server was slow and inattentive. There were two other servers who were very interested in their tables. Just bad luck for us I guess. The server never asked how the food was despite there being two half eaten entrees on the table. We won't be back

David M.

Good food

Eryn Hughes

Best king salmon ever!!

Gina Fielding

The people were nice and the atmosphere was like being out on the Cape. They were out of lobster bisque (which was why I went there) and the lobster roll was outrageously expensive with too much celery, onion, and bread overpowering the flavor of the lobster meat. The lobster quesadilla was tasty and had plenty of meat, but could have used a sauce vs salsa. Overall i'd go back though.

Herbert Baum

Very good food for the right price.

Regina Sekyra

Thin broth on the chowder. Friendly fun atmosphere.

Stephen Nelson

Great food & friendly staff!

Vishnu Karmakar

Great seafood market and restaurant
