This place is really popular online and with the locals, so we decided to check it out. We booked a table two months ahead for a birthday celebration. When we got there, the host and hostess were super friendly and wished us a happy birthday. The appetizers and tapas were seriously delicious. We also ordered paella, and they told us it would take 45 minutes, but that was okay since we had ordered a bunch of great appetizers. After we finished the appetizers, our server asked if we wanted dessert, and we reminded her that we were still waiting for the paella. She said she forgot to tell the kitchen, so we waited another hour for it to arrive. We ended up ordering dessert too. I was a bit bummed that they didn’t do anything special for the birthday even though they knew about it, and I even talked to the staff on OpenTable. Overall, it’s a cool place with awesome views, but our waitress kinda dropped the ball. Still, we had a good time and would probably recommend it.

El Five was a top notch experience! We had to reschedule to a later time. And let me tell you this place was SO worth staying up past my bedtime! 😉 We we’re celebrating an anniversary and everyone from the hosts to the wait staff and bartenders said Happy Anniversary to us. We were even given complimentary glasses of sparkling wine. Our waitress was personable and took the time to talk about the drinks and food with us. The drinks and food was beyond delicious. Everything curated so well. I didn’t think I had room for the cheesecake and I ended up devouring it. Don’t skip visiting El Five!

Such a beautiful restaurant. The food presentation and atmosphere were amazing. Paella was a little on the salty side. Eggplant fries a dumplings were good. Felt a bit neglected by our server Corey but Frank pulled off an awesome recovery and speaking to him was the highlight of our visit.

I’ve had this restaurant on my list to try for a couple years now, it did not disappoint! The food, view, and ambiance are incredible! It was great for celebrating a special occasion. We ordered 3 different dishes for 2 people and it was the perfect amount of food. Each dish was so diverse and full of flavor. My only critique was that we wished the server would have been a little more informative and enthusiastic while serving us. Usually, dining out at a higher end restaurant we love recommendations or how many dishes they would recommend. We asked and got very vague answers and they seemed to be “too busy” for us. Everything else was fantastic, compliments to the chef(s)!

I’d really like to give this place a higher rating. The place is on the fifth floor and provides a great vista of Denver even from the indoor seating. The service was excellent that offered helpful advice, time to decide and overall cheerful atmosphere. However, the food was a real letdown. My idea of tapas is simple dishes done well and where the ingredients shine. I felt the tapas were overly complicated and not for the better. But the biggest offence is the paellas. The highlight of the night was mushy rice and an under seasoned dish.

Pricey and worth every dollar! Seriously one of the most memorable meals I’ve ever had. The patio was a great experience and all the small plates we shared were phenomenal. The Seafood Paella is worth the wait! And definitely try the Matzo Ball Soup Dumplings and Lebanese Garlic Dip!

Look no further, THIS IS THE PLACE! You want the most spectacular view of the Denver skyline at night, well crafted cocktails and perfect small plates with a Moroccan vibe? Done! I could not believe how delicious the lamb was! Some of the best I’ve ever had. The vibe here is extremely romantic and the service is top notch. They even brand their ice cubes which was a great touch to my old fashioned. The server had amazing local whiskey and bourbon suggestions when asked and that made my drink so much better to enjoy something from the local Denver area. Absolutely make sure you book a reservation. Overall, you will not be disappointed by coming here, as it’s 5 stars from every angle!

I do not give five stars lightly. I have 10 years experience in the restaurant industry including hosting, serving, bartending and managing. I have been to some of the nicest restaurants in big cities like Chicago and Vegas. I can hands down without a doubt say this was the best dining experience I have ever had. Everything was beyond excellent from the ambiance, cocktails, beer selection, food and the knowledgeable service. It is very obvious when people are serving food and drinks they are proud of and this restaurant is a perfect example. The service in every position here was beyond my expectations. An extra shout out to my bartender Dan who had a very telling knowledge of the bar and food. There were two other gentleman behind the bar who were also willing to answer any questions I had and provide expertise on the food and drinks. Overall, 10/10 I do not have a single bad thing to say.

Words cannot describe the experience we had here. We sat at the Chefs bar where we got to interact with Charlie and Mark – two chefs preparing meals. They chatted with us, provided recommendations, and let us sample all types of sauces and dips! They even provided us with extra food for the dishes we loved! 110% recommend this experience, and make sure you order their delicious Paella!!
