El Five

I walked right by the entrance to this place because it is tucked back in a parking area with a little sign that can easily be missed. Once you find the door, someone checks you in before you are allowed to go up the elevator. The atmosphere is super cool and the view of downtown Denver is fabulous! I tried both the Ford's and Hendricks Gin & Tonic. Both were good. My dining partner and I shared Mushroom Turkish Pizza, Kauai Shrimp and Spreads of the Med. The last one was probably my favorite. I liked the vibe and it was a fun experience.

This is a great spot to bring out-of-town visitors to Denver or to celebrate a special occasion. The great view and funky decor are topped by outstanding service and consistently delicious food. Don't miss any of the paellas; just be sure to order those first (with your drinks) because it takes a while to prepare. Also the pork was amazing as were the dips. Yum.

This was THE BEST restaurant experience we have ever had!!! Starting with the valet, to the SERVICE the FOOD Jenna, David, Taylor WENT OVER AND BEYOND to take care of us we chose them because of the views and had no idea that everything else was going to be amazing. I. can't wait to come back to Colorado just to come and eat again

Had an incredible dining experience at El Five. The tapas were absolutely incredible. We had the goat cheese croquettes, papas bravas, the filo stuffed dish (can’t pronounce it), and the lamb shank. All of which were incredible. They have an amazing attention to detail - we had someone with a birthday and I believe they noticed when they checked our IDs at the time of ordering drinks because they served us with a cute birthday dish unsolicited. Overall it was a beautiful experience. It’s a shame the next door neighbor built a massive building which blocks off about 20% of the city views, but nothing that ruins the experience of El Five.

From the minute we walked in we were greeted by the manager Jacob. His smile instantly made us feel welcome. We didn’t know he was the manager at this point. We sat down to what we would become a memorable dining experience. The ambiance was fabulous and the food was outstanding! We ordered many tapas and all were bursting with flavor. Hard to pick a favorite but the mezze - spread of the med was fantastic!!! A brilliant way to start the evening. We enjoyed goat cheese croquettas, patatas bravas, smoked burrata (made fresh specifically for them and shipped from Italy) and the drinks and ambience on point. We were treated with such kindness and professionalism. Thank you GM Jacob and our knowledgeable outstanding server Zac!

It has an amazing view to see the city skyline. The service was really good. All the questions were being answered well. The food and the drink was fine. The iberico pork lion was pretty good. It was tender and had good sauce. Don't really recommend seafood paella since it was really salty. And is not the paella we expected. Overall, it is a good place to enjoy the scenery and the service. Foods and drive were fine.
