   Delicious!! Hip and happening scene. Beautiful skyline view. Noisy. They cleared the plates a little too quickly while we still would have been sopping up and scraping the little remains. It would be nice if they offered some bread for that purpose

   10/10 recommend this experience to anyone that comes to Denver! I came here with my son, Harvey and we were helped by Tyler, Mark and Jose, getting exceptional service from them all! Tyler made sure that Harvey was comfortable with the food and was well taken care of. It was both my son’s and I first time trying these new foods from an amazingly colorful Mediterranean menu. Flavors were divine and kept you wanting to try more samples of everything! I wish we had more time here in Denver or I would definitely come back again! The skyline is beautiful to see from the restaurant as well. The vibe is just overall happy and joyous! Make sure to ask for Tyler! Thank you to the team! We will be coming back soon!

   The food fell short of expectations, trying to do too much with conflicting flavors that didn’t complement each other. Instead of showcasing complexity, the overpowering tastes clashed and overwhelmed the dishes. Both my husband and I felt the food came across as overly pretentious. Adding to the disappointment, valet parking cost $15 and was not worth it. The noise level was excessive, and the music felt more suited to a dance club than a dining experience. Overall, the food was terrible, and the ambiance made it worse. Definitely not an experience we’d recommend.

   El Five is always a favorite--it was fun to share with my family who had never been--we all enjoyed the food and the atmosphere including our amazing view at the window side table.

   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!

    Overall, the experience was okay. The tapas were just average, but our server stood out as excellent. We ordered a dish we didn’t enjoy, and when our server checked in, I mentioned it wasn’t our favorite, though we appreciated everything else. She went above and beyond by removing that dish from our bill, even though I was more than willing to pay for it. The cocktails were good and arrived quickly. The views were as stunning as everyone says, but the food fell short of expectations. It felt a bit lackluster, and I’d likely choose another spot for tapas next time.
