Max Gill & Grill brings Florida Keys atmosphere to Platt Park in Denver, right down to the tropical decor, palm-thatch tiki bar, and a back patio landscaped for the effect. The restaurant leans into the beach theme it describes as "where the beach meets the mountains," pairing that mood with a raw bar and a seafood-driven menu.
The kitchen serves oysters on the half shell, ceviche, mussels, and lobster flatbread to start, moving into crab cakes, a lobster roll, and Old Bay peel-and-eat shrimp. Grilled swordfish and Thai striped bass have developed a following among regulars. The bar pours tiki cocktails like the rum runner and mai tai alongside an extensive bourbon and whiskey selection and a rotating list of draft beers.
Seating spans a main dining room, bar area, and booth seating next to a freshwater aquarium, with additional space set aside for private parties and events.
