Best Restaurants for Foodies in Aurora

My first time dining at El Five was absolutely amazing! From the beautiful views and stunning bar to the welcoming hosts and attentive staff, the entire experience was exceptional. A special shoutout to our server, Taylor, because he truly deserves his flowers, cookies, and cakes! The menu is unique and exciting, but Taylor’s knowledge of every dish made ordering so seamless, especially for someone experiencing this style of cuisine for the first time. Almost everything we ordered was based on his recommendations, and he did not disappoint! The appetizers are an absolute must-try, and everything tasted incredibly fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully paired. The cocktails were another highlight. I love a creative cocktail that actually tastes as good as it looks, and El Five delivered! If you’re looking to step outside the usual Denver dining scene and enjoy something different, upscale, and memorable, I highly recommend El Five. The food, atmosphere, service, and overall experience were wonderful. I genuinely enjoyed every moment and will absolutely be returning!

Finest, high end cuisine in Denver. Three of us enjoyed the four course dinner with a Comte Armand Volney French Burgundy. Branzino, veal cheeks, and pork were the main dishes. But the opening salads and appetizers were the stars. Seasonal and exquisitely prepared. Reminded me of a few Parisian restaurants. Service was outstanding. Probably the best dining I have experienced in Denver, ever!

Maegan’s service was exceptional. Seth, Rachel, and Mark were also fantastic. Without a doubt, the best Italian restaurant in Denver and one of the best in the country. Dinner was fabulous!

My favorite spot in Denver! Gracious hospitality, beautiful room and incredible food! Great beverage program. Can’t wait to come back!

Excellent. Everything was excellent. The food, the ambiance, the service, the views. No notes.
