Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Lafayette

Food here is delicious, presentation is attractive, decor is cozy, service is friendly and efficient.  The menu seemed a bit underwhelming to me at first with relatively few choices that I thought I would like, but everything I tasted was fantastic, so I got some culinary and gustatory education.

There is no better place to have fun, eat socialize and get wonderful drinks and appetizers. In the heart of low high, Denver and close to downtown is a wonderful restaurant for meeting friends, family, and walking to Little man ice cream after dinner.

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.

It’s the perfect spot for amazing food, unbeatable views, and a truly unique experience in Denver. Highly recommend!

Went for dinner on Christmas Eve and it was wonderful. Very good food and service. It would have been nice to hear Christmas music instead of every day music. Overall excellent

Amazing experience! Started with the prosciutto, a pinot grigio, and had the tagliatelle, followed by the torta. It was all so wonderful! HIGHLY recommend the tagliatelle!! I sat at the bar, where Caesar waited on me, and he was exceptional. Highly attentive but not over-bearing; he was personable and friendly. I loved the ambiance as well. It should also be said, Caesar went above and beyond, and is an expert in his craft! Make a reservation, and you will not be disappointed.
