Used to be sorta posh....but they removed the super cool/swanky boothes. (To fit more guests, how many I wonder. 7?) Now it/looks feels like IHOP. Foods still good

Beautiful day in Arvada and Smokin Fin. Lobster stuffed avocado was delish and a cucumber basil drink . The hostess was on it and service was amazing. Thanks for another wonderful experience

Came here to meet a friend for dinner on a Monday evening at 4:30 pm. It was perfect for timing. We did make reservations since it was right around the holiday just to be safe. I got there and waited just a little bit and was taken back to a table. I have never been towards the back and also just my second time here. Wow, the back is really nice. It gives off a classy or romantic feel. My friend arrives and we were just in time to get food from the HH menu or the regular menu. We both opted to go off the HH menu so we can opt to have more than one thing and share. We ordered the poke bowl, tuna and California rolls, and the blackened mahi tacos. He had the poke bowl and really enjoyed it. We both shared the sushi rolls. Both rolls were delightful. I had the mahi tacos. Very delicious. All the orders are half order sizes from the HH menu. Our waiter Chris was awesome, friendly, and attentive. Our dinner was great! Definitely will come back again.

This was our 2nd time trying this restaurant. From the options around, if you like seafood, this is a solid choice. We have liked it both times. All 4 of us got different dishes and everything was tasty. Both times there was one dish that was off, and the service was slow (even though they really tried but were very busy). So overall, I definitely rec this restaurant.

Had a hankering for some clam chowder and wasn't disappointed. Had some oysters and sushi as well. It to mention all you can eat crab legs. I think this is the best seafood spot in old Arvada. Quiet and comfortable with modern lighting John L was the best made us feel right at home. We weren't rushed or forgotten by our server we actually had a nice conversation when it wasn't busy.

One of my favorite fun places to have happy hour or a nice dinner out. Jacob and Blane are always so welcoming each and every time! The service at Smokin Fins is amazing and the food is so delicious! I love the atmosphere and feel super comfortable even going by myself. The calamari, cedar plank salmon and shaved prime sandwich are my personal favorites!

Don't necessarily go here for quality sushi (it's not their specialty), but go here for a very eclectic array of food, great ambiance, stellar service and plenty of parking! I truly enjoyed my experience here and will be back!

An absolute must and treasure is the Chilean sea bass dish! Do not even think about not getting it- it's the star of the whole menu! So soft and buttery with a perfectly crispy edge so much umami. Bathed in such soft delicate mashed potatoes and beets and Brussels- so so good! Every bite was unreal- and the serving size was incredible I was able to share some with two other people and still barely finish. Scraped my dish clean! I did not like the dragon roll. Partially my issue was I didn't read the menu properly and typically a dragon roll has eel, but this one obviously didn't. The shrimp was too chewy and it just wasn't my favorite combo of ingredients. Rice tasted stale. I gave someone else my roll to finish. Overall, I would definitely come back for the Chilean sea bass! It was the highlight bite/ dish of my entire Denver trip! Still dreaming of it.

Back again for a second visit in December 2023 I was treated to a birthday lunch. This visit I ordered Salmon after we had Lobster tots and the Kickin Shrimp. The service was stellar. This time we were seated at a two top in the back f the restaurant near a window. Overall a very good experience. Fast forward to 2024, I am back again. No cocktails this time but we did order the Brussels and cauliflower. I also decided to try the Finns Platter!! Good and typical of a fried platter. The cod is very good and the shrimp batter was less crunchy than I prefer; perhaps need 30 seconds more. The apple slaw was good but needed seasoning. My guests had cl chowder, the fish platter and a salad. They too were satisfied. The server we had before served is again and he was great! I now have my favorites and plan to return soon!
