The food was absolutely outstanding! The chefs do an excellent job with aromatics and flavor combinations. The service was impeccable. My friend was quite particular about her wine selection and they were quite accommodating until finding just the right one. We had one small issue with one of the dishes we ordered, and the staff went above and beyond to right the wrong. I was quite literally shocked at how completely professional and gracious the entire staff were, from top to bottom. I will dine here again and again, and recommend to everyone I see!

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!

The Black Truffle Cacio E Pepe was amazing! Totally worth it, and don't leave without getting the Sticky Toffee Pudding.

Always a great experience. They make sure of that. Love the small attention to detail - soup bowl was warm, Parmesan crisps on the Caesar salad, creamer warmed so it doesn’t make your coffee cold!
