Stoic & Genuine
5-Course Creative Coastal Tasting Event
This Union Station eatery opened in 2014 and is all about the fish. In fact, it is a four-time Westword "Best Seafood Restaurant" winner, most recently in 2022, and was named to Thrillist's 2022 "Best Seafood Restaurants in Denver" list. At Stoic & Genuine, they like to say that "fish, oysters, and happiness are flown in daily." Working wonders with impeccably-sourced, sustainable fish, Executive Chef Paul Kennedy was a sous chef at Brightmarten and Euclid Hall before rising in the ranks at this gem. Diners exult over his sea scallop crudo, Thai green curry mussels, crispy whole haddock with lemongrass, lime, Fresno chili, and ponzu butter, and, of course, the epic raw bar. "There may be many fish in Denver's sea of seafood restaurants," says Westword, "but Stoic & Genuine is a real catch." The interior, by Boss Architecture, happens to be a marvel as well. We can't wait to visit here!
