Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Greenwood Village

 It had been a while, but we were so glad we chose to return to Rioja for a special evening in downtown Denver. Everything about the evening was right from being greeted in a friendly and accommodating manner at the front door, to  our efficient and congenial server, to the ambience, and finally to the utterly delicious food. Thank you Rioja for an evening that really felt like something special!

Took my wife here for her birthday brunch and Ash'Kara was perfect. The wood-fired pita alone is worth the trip, and everything coming out of that kitchen is warm, generous, and full of flavor. The room is cozy and welcoming, the kind of place that makes a special day feel easy. We will be back.

Great menu! The food is excellent and the value is perfect. Our server, Mikie was very attentive and very pleasant.

Great food and staff were wonderful. They were attentive, explained the food and wine well.

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!
