    Service was above and beyond! Food was incredible and filling- i had to take home at least half the meal! We requested to sit right by the fish tank and were accommodated without an issue. By far one of my favorite things was when they asked if we wanted the kids food to be made with the appetizer which allowed me to feed my kids without having my food get cold it was amazing. 10/10 recommend!

    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!
