   We had the Seafood Paella and it was most definitely worth the wait. Would also recommend the smoked cedar rye cocktail. Great views, great food, my wife and I loved it and will definitely be back.

   There was just a small wall between our table and the table on the other side of the wall. I could have been part of the other table's group. Having a private conversation felt difficult. The Lebanese garlic dip was excellent as were the chickpea tacos. The prawns looked beautiful but tasted VERY flat. The pork loin was unremarkable. Food was very slow coming out of the kitchen. If there's just two in your party I recommend you sit at the bar.

    El Five was great! Bar service before my table was ready was fantastic, and so was the service from my waitress. The food was incredible and cocktails were very hand crafted and delicious. The great views make this place even better, and the atmosphere creates great energy, while staying classy for a nice night out.

    The best part was the ambiance & decor, but the food (which is why we’re really there) wasn’t anything exceptional. The four tapas we ordered had the same flavor profile, even though there were different dishes.

    Wanted a unique restaurant to cap off our last night in Denver with family and friends. El Five has a beautiful view of the city, but make sure you eat before you go. You will wait a long time for your food, delivered separately over a span of 45 minutes with very small portions. Left hungry and broke.

    As always, excellent food and knowledgeable servers. It still takes about 20-30 minutes post your reservation before you actually sit down. Not sure why they haven’t figured out how to turn tables at this place…they’ve been open for years.

    Such an amazing view and decor! Perfect service. I came for sunset views, an appetizer, and a drink, although this place is more of a dinner destination. It was very expensive for portions, but the food is very calorie-dense so don’t think you need to order more than 1 dish per person, to be shared. I had two of their cocktails and I enjoyed every sip. I thought they were creative and actually worked. Very inventive takes on classics too!

    I had made a reservation for my birthday in 2020 but everything was shut down so I had to wait 3 years. We went for Restaurant Week and celebrate my birthday the evening was great. So much food, we all took food home. We got to have a great view of the sunset so that made it even better.

    When you first walk into El Five you are met with a friendly staff, a beautiful view of Denver and a lot of energy buzzing in the trendy restaurant. Our server, Tyler, went the extra mile in ensuring I had a special birthday dinner and had great advice on what to try. The view, food and Tyler made the experience spectacular. We tried the Sea Bass and the Pork Loin which were both delish. I'll def be going back.

    We came to El Five on one of our earlier-in-the-relationship dates for Restaurant Week. Our experience far exceeded our expectations! Our server, Heather, was so friendly and easy to vibe with! She was courteous and incredibly helpful with making suggestions for what to choose on the Restaurant Week menu. The Zombie rum cocktail was the tastiest rum drink I've had in ages! The mini appetizers at the very beginning were so scrumptious! I loved the sardine tartare! The lamb sausage was divine, and the complimentary course of pork loin was also to-die-for! Thank you for that! We both loved the cheesecake as well! And of course...the view did not disappoint! Thank you for making one of our early-on dates so special! :)

    Carne paella is fantastic. They also accommodated for a food allergy. Price is fair compared to the value you get, but mind that its gonna be ~$50 per person for a full course meal and drinks. 10/10 would recommend.

    Beautiful location, wonderful food and really great service. We had the Spreads of the Med, Lebanese Garlic Dip, Papatas Bravas, Tunisian Couscous, Coliflor Paella and Chocolate Baklava. Each dish was beautifully presented and the flavors are fantastic. The house Malbec paired well with all the wonderful flavors. The servers were great from start to finish. Our server made great recommendations for a wonderful dining experience. Watching the sunset over Denver was stunning bonus to our dining experience.
