Reviews
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.

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.
The food was absolutely delicious, but we felt the hyped-up deviled eggs were a little less exciting than we expected. They just didn’t pack all that much flavor beyond normal deviled eggs, even with the smoked trout on top. My husband had the Filet Mignon and he loved it. The potato sfoglie and chimichurri were so, so good. I had the Thai Green Curry Mussels and while I would absolutely have them again, someone needs to add a disclaimer that sometimes the kitchen has a little too much fun with the Fresno chilis. The mussel broth was to die for and I felt like I almost did die with how much heat those chilis packed! It was one of those situations where your eyes and nose are watering from the spice but the taste is so amazing you just power through. I love myself a lot of heat, but I definitely wasn’t prepared for this dish! I drank so much water with the broth that my tummy was sloshing all the way through Union Station back to the train. Still, I would definitely order this dish again, just with a much larger glass of water. All in all, highly recommend this place. Thank you to the wonderful staff! Service was impeccable.
The seafood chowder was enjoyable, but not the best that I have eaten.
