Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Arvada

Was in town visiting family. Lucked out getting a reservation. Loved everything about this place. Service was outstanding, very attentive and great recommendations. There was nothing on the menu we tried that was not delicious but special shout outs for the Bao buns, potstickers and tacos. The desserts were phenomenal. We loved the flavors on everything. Will come back next time I am in town for sure!!!

We had brunch with some close friends. The mushroom omelette was fantastic! As were the breakfast burrito, the Cubano Benedict and the Pakora Benedict. Everything was fresh, perfectly cooked and flavorful. And the service was excellent. This place has not lost a step since the day it opened. Still AWESOME!l

We ordered the Pro Flight of bacon and Pancake Flight, so we sampled a lot of things. Our favorites were candied bacon, nacho bacon, carrot cake pancake, and s’mores pancake. I also got the Red Eye Bloody Mary flight which was a little spicy to me, interesting combinations but overall flavors were terrific. The bartender was fantastic and very kind, it was a pleasure “hanging out” with her. Everything here was amazing!

El Five is a must-visit culinary gem in Denver! From the moment you step into the stunning rooftop space, you’re greeted with breathtaking panoramic views of the city and mountains, setting the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. The atmosphere is vibrant yet sophisticated, and the service is impeccable. The staff is knowledgeable, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do. The food? Absolutely phenomenal. Their tapas-style menu offers a creative fusion of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern flavors, and every dish is a work of art. The lamb ribs and paella were standout favorites, bursting with bold, perfectly balanced flavors. And don’t miss their signature cocktails—they’re as delicious as they are beautifully crafted. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just looking for a memorable night out, El Five delivers on every level. It’s the perfect spot for amazing food, unbeatable views, and a truly unique experience in Denver. Highly recommend!

We went for the Feast of Seven Fishes for Christmas Eve and the experience was incredible. The food was incredibly curated and beautifully executed. Service was also exceptional.
