El Five Denver Reviews
A huge disappointment
Disappointing from the start. Booked a reservation several weeks in advance because we’d heard the view was amazing and the food was good. We were celebrating a special occasion, also mentioned on the reservation. We got a booth in the hallway des
Our third visit was as good as first one
This is an upscale busy Mediterraean style restaurant with a view of the skyline from the back. We have been here 3 times with the last time sitting at the bar facing Denver due to our last minute walk in. The food here is consistantly good. My onl
El Five is truly one of Denver's standout dining
El Five is truly one of Denver's standout dining experiences. We ordered the Duck Bastilla and the Shawarma Lamb Ribs with a side of pita, and all I can say is wow. The Duck Bastilla was perfectly crisp on the outside with a rich, savory filling
Good food, good music, good view.
Definitely try the paella. Went there for my birthday and had a huge table and the team was so attentive with cocktails coming out quick and well made.
Dinner in Denver, CO
Great ambiance here! As soon as you enter, you get a gorgeous view of the city. The restaurant is dim lit and has an energetic vibe. Our table wasn’t ready so they sat us at the bar first—we ended up liking the bar area vibe and especially bec

We were lucky to get same day reservations on a Thursday night. The place was packed and we came here for our honeymoon dinner which also ended up being our first meal after landing in Denver. The area has a fun, lively vibe with plenty of parking i
The service is good don't get me wrong.
THE FOOD HERE IS HORRIBLE!!!!! The soup dumplings and meatballs (two things that are supposed to be hot) were ice cold!? The smoked burrata was way too expensive for the 1/3 of a piece of the smallest burrata you've ever seen in your life. I

I made a reservation for a Friday night at 8:30pm, which I definitely recommend in case it gets packed. Parking on the street was a little tricky, so plan to get there early and save yourself the stress! Once we got inside, the view is absolutely s

I finally made it to El Five and I loved every second spent there my friend invited me there to her baby shower delectation on Saturday, she made a reservation and when we got there my friend wanted a different table that the hostess originally seat
Overrated and filthy.
The entire place is worn out and dirty. We requested a table for 6 people with a city view. We were seated at a table facing the kitchen and it was super hot and booth dirty. Not sure why that was called a city view. They moved us to a mountain view
Wow! From the view to the food this experience was amazing.
I came for my 28th birthday, amid a mid life crisis and this turned my world around. I'm not sad anymore. And my waiter Cameron? Amazing. Great service. You did great, continue on. Cameron was great make him manager. The end go here.

Cannot say enough GREAT things about this place, from the service, to the food, to the ambiance and the knowledge of the staff. Right off the bat...HIGHLY suggest sitting at the chefs counter if it's your first time and you're unfamiliar
There's a lot to love about El Five and we had a great time
There's a lot to love about El Five and we had a great time taking some out of town friends here for a fun night out. We had a late reservation for 9:30pm on a Friday and it was still buzzing when we got there. It's got a modern artsy vibe
Delicious Food, Stunning Views, Thoughtful Service
We went to El Five for our anniversary dinner and had the best experience in Denver! The food was delicious, the views were stunning, and the staff was incredibly friendly and thoughtful. They were happy to customize dishes to fit our vegetarian pref
A must. Excellent food and excellent service.
Treat yourself to some amazing food. Everything on the menu is excellent. We had a starter platter with all kinds of goodies including some amazing pistachio humus. Their paillia is amazing. If you're in Denver it's worth it. It's o
Great experience & lots of food to share
We had been to this restaurant about 8 or 9 years ago. It's still good! When we were being seated, they started to give us a table in the back side of the restaurant. My husband asked if we could be seated at a table on the bright side with
Stellar Views, Atmosphere, Food, and Cocktails
I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant! It sits in my top five restaurants I've been to in the world, accounting for food/drink quality, ambience, decor, and view. The dishes are tapas from Gibraltar, with modern spins, such as ve
Perfect Date. Ight Venue
Creative and thoughtful menu of both food and beverages. Spectacular flavors and pairing options. View of downtown Denver best I’ve ever experienced, service impeccable. Valet parking available .
Hip place, great good, great view, not a place to have a conversation.
What this place has going for it is the view, the hip, cool vibe, and tapa-style food. The service was good and the food was done well. The issue is they crammed so many tables into the space, that you can hear the person right next to you at the nex
Wonderful dinner
We came here for a business dinner and it was absolutely wonderful and amazing! Our food and drinks were so good. I loved every dish that we had and the drinks were amazing. The service was also excellent and so were the views. The only thing that wa
This place never fails to deliver
I love the view from the patio. I love the service. I love the food. The eggplant fries are my favorite by far. The mushroom paella is very well done. The sea bass is delicious. The croquettes are amazing. You cannot go wrong with anything you
Enjoyable Dinner on Balcony
My husband and I a nice dinner here on the balcony. We had the charcuterie board and five tapas. The service was because they would bring one tapa, and as soon as we finished it they’d bring out another tapa. Would eat here again.

Be careful leaving your car with their valet! The valet guys were using our car without our permission. We walked down to get our car from valet after eating here, and as we do, we see valet leave the parking lot in our car with someone in the pas

Waited an hour and half for burnt rice bowl they call seafood paella. Go for drinks and views, avoid the food, not worth the $$$!!!
We live in Breckenridge and were visiting friends in Denver.
El Five was our choice for a special occasion meal. The view of the city was spectacular, the variety of food was fabulous, the drinks were to die for, the service was great, and the owner went the extra mile to make our dining experience a memorabl

Great atmosphere, I do not recommend the indoor patio if it's warm out though...it gets a bit toasty With that being said the food was amazing and the service was immaculate. The food came out PERFECTLY timed which is big at a tapas place, I usuall

Loved my date night here! It was so easy to find gluten free and dairy free options. We had the harissa eggplant fries and the carne paella and wouldn't change a thing about our order. We had a French press and the bartender was super friendly. The v

Nice colors on the walls/ around the restaurant. Drinks and food excellent and well presented. Outdoor patio with heaters or option of outdoor with plastic cover to protect from elements. Blend of music playing. Brandon our server was attentive and h
Ultra-mod, incredible view, abundant offerings, reasonable prices
Your first experience with El Five (EF) is likely to be wandering around the correct intersection for a while. Don't give up! The entrance is tucked deep within a covered passage of the building -- where you take an elevator to the top (5th) floor. (

Came here for my husbands birthday with some friends and this restaurant is amazing - the view is incredible and thankfully most tables have access to the view so it's not a huge deal if you don't have a window table. Ambiance is moody and bas a cool
Cool atmosphere and city views from the bar area.
The restaurant is fairly large with a lot of seating options. Food was great. Good cocktails. Looking forward to returning to try their paella.
Go to El 5 even if you aren't planning to have a meal there.
Go specifically for a Negroni. I flew in from Los Angeles for dinner - the restaurant was recommended by a family member. At table, I was asked by a lovely young lady, Erica, for my drink order. I asked, "Can you make me a Negroni?" She rep

Great ambiance, service and food! The food and flavors were extremely unique and they had a wide variety of food options. The paella is worth the wait and I would actually recommend the veggie with meat tapas beforehand! Great views of the city. The

Sit at the chefs counter, get the seabass and lamb, get the Pinot or Tempranillo to wash them down, get the basque cheese cake then come here to thank me!

What a great restaurant! We discovered this restaurant on Denver Restaurant Week! Take a look at these outstanding menu items!
We came during restaurant week.
The views were pretty cool! Everything else about this experience was tough. The pinxtos was disappointing. The smoked sardine rillette was incredibly tin-y tasting, like canned tuna, and had a pretty bad aftertaste. The tortilla espanol wasn't awf
Lovely dining experience at El Five.
Skipped the drinks and went straight for the food - my favorites were the sea bass and the eggplant fries - the fries were amazing! My husband liked the chicken croquettes and mezze platter. The dessert was surprisingly nice - a little sweet but I li
Off the charts wonderful!
We loved everything about this restaurant. The view is spectacular of the Denver citywide scape. The each bite of food was unique, both visually and tastefully delicious. The service was impeccable. We will be back.
Style (sort of) over substance
Lot’s of hype and hope around this place, yes it’s nice, all very trendy, once you get in there. But the buzz and bluster is the main event, a close second for drinks, but the food lags in third place. What was good was just that, not wow. Sadl
Eclectic and great views!
We came here for drinks before our dinner at Linger. This restaurant has such a cool and eclectic vibe. Beautiful views of the city and the decor is so funky and interesting. There was so much to look at. We sat at the bar and it was like a show watc
Doesn't quite hit the mark
What can be said? The view is beautiful and if you score a nice table, you'll have views of the Denver skyline. This is a pricey venue, but all the elements do not come together. You do need to book far in advance, and my son (who has dined here pre
Agism
The food was delicious and we had a fantastic time for the most part. However it was apparent as soon as we walked in we were near the youngest people there. We were a group of mainly 20 year old and one 21 year old. They servers quickly paid far mor
Good- but didn’t live up to our high expectations
We heard from several different friends that this was one of their top restaurants in Denver, so we’d been excited to try it for a while. And all of the food was good - we tried an assortment of tapas and some paella - but nothing blew us away. For
Wonderful tapas at a reasonable price
Taken here by our son who had had a company dinner here, he said the food this time was even better! The garlic puree which accompanied several of the dishes (spreads of the Med, the seafood and carne paellas) was so light and mild tasting, we kept g
Bad Paella
Overrated. I feel like the reviews are from people that have not had good paella. Both the carne and seafood consisted of like 4 cups of over seasoned rice and same portion of protein. Spanish bravas were decent. The only saving grace was the sauce w

AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with El Five Denver. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to El Five Denver at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the El Five Denver page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at El Five Denver to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at El Five Denver!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
