    The food was not great. Potatoes in clam chowder were harder than al dente. Calamari was overcooked, so very tough & and chewy, and raw oysters were tiny tiny. We did not complain but we decided not to order a main course. The waiter was not very friendly, so maybe he was just having a bad day. Would not return and would not recommend this location. We usually go to the Smokin' Fins in Littleton, and we decided to try Highlands Ranch because parking is easier. Wrong decision.

    Staff were excellent from checkin at the hostess stand to the sever. We were recommended the special - halibut with crab - and both of us thought it was exceptional with a glass of wine. Been here many times and looking forward to eating outside on the new patio (under construction during our visit). Keep up the excellent work.

    So glad you enjoyed everything! The April chef special is definitely a winner (especially when paired with wine!), and we can't wait to have you back to enjoy our new and improved patio space. We appreciate you!

    Smokin Fins provides a solid local gem dining experience. The restaurant is crowded on Friday nights due to the weekday happy hour ( which is a great deal ). Servers work hard and are attentive.
    Smokin' Fins - Highlands RanchResponded on April 7, 2025
    Thank you so much for the kind words, Deborah! Fridays do get lively around here, but we're glad our team and happy hour impressed. Hope to have you back soon!
